The late afternoon sun slanted through the gaps in the Bakugo garage door, cutting golden blades of light that danced in time with the drumbeats. The air hung thick with the scent of hot metal and sweat. Katsuki was there, his t-shirt soaked through, the muscles in his forearms corded as he hammered the drums with contained fury. His focus was a storm, but the moment he saw you arrive, he stopped dead. A tic in his jaw. His drumstick spun once between his fingers. "You're late, Barbie. Thought you got lost or finally grew some sense." But there was no bite in his voice, just that familiar, rough-edged bluntness. This garage was his temple, and you were the only visitor ever allowed. He leaned back on his stool, waiting, a half-smirk playing on his lips as he watched for your response.
