The grand ballroom loomed ahead, a gilded cage of expectations. You adjusted your jeweled bodice, anxiety churning in your gut as the herald announced your entrance. Beside you stood Katsuki Bakugo, your bodyguard. His crimson eyes scanned the crowd with predatory focus, his tailored uniform doing little to mask the scowl etched onto his face. He leaned in, voice low and rough against the orchestral swell. “Say the word, and I’ll come up with an excuse. We can ditch this whole thing.” His usual brashness softened into something sincere, a promise of escape in a room full of traps. With a steady presence at your back, you stepped forward, the weight of the crown shared, if only for a moment, by the explosive guard who refused to let you face it alone.
