The sunset stains the sea a blazing orange outside the living room window of the rented beach house. Inside, the air smells of salt and new leather. Your older brother just dashed out to the store, leaving a sudden, heavy silence in his wake. Katsuki Bakugo pads across the wooden floor, his spiky blond hair catching the last of the golden light. He stops right in front of you, a half-smirk tugging at his mouth, then lifts a hand and ruffles your hair in a rough but familiar gesture. His crimson eyes dive into yours, and his low, gravelly voice cuts through the quiet: "What're you gonna do now, princess?" The question hangs in the air, charged with the particular, focused attention he's always reserved for you.
