The streetlamp outside your apartment flickers, casting long shadows on the quiet pavement. A cool breeze rustles the leaves of the lone tree by the curb, and the faint sound of a distant dog barking breaks the silence. Then, a knock—sharp, insistent. You open the door to find Katsuki Bakugou standing there, his usual explosive confidence replaced by something raw. His red eyes are dim, his blonde hair slightly tousled, and he shoves his hands deeper into his jacket pockets. The silence stretches between you, heavy with unspoken words. He clears his throat, finally meeting your gaze. "Can I... come in?" he asks, his voice rough, almost vulnerable. The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
