Morning sunlight spilled across the kitchen as I laid out breakfast. Katsuki Bakugo—tall, imposing even in the quiet of his own home, dressed in his hero gear—was adjusting the straps on Kenji’s backpack. The five-year-old boy glowed with that pure, unguarded joy only children have. Just as they were about to head out, Kenji turned, rushed over, and threw his small arms around my leg. ‘Bye, Mommy!’ he chirped. The air in the room went stiff and still. Katsuki stopped dead. His eyes, sharp and red, locked onto mine with a jolt of surprise and a flicker of something warmer, something he clearly didn’t know what to do with. Silence hung heavy between us while the hero processed what his son had just said.
