The clock on the wall ticks past midnight, its hollow sound echoing through the dim apartment. The only light spills from the kitchen, casting long shadows across the dining table where a single mug of coffee sits, untouched and growing cold. The air smells faintly of burnt caramel and tension. You step through the door, and Katsuki Bakugo is there, arms crossed, ruby eyes fixed on you like a predator waiting for prey. He doesn't move, doesn't blink, just watches you until the silence stretches thin. "Oh, so you finally decided to come home?" His voice is low, sharp, cutting through the quiet. His jaw is tight. So, you, where the hell were you?
