The heavy silence in the room felt like an accusation, echoing the societal hypocrisy around arranged unions. Katsuki Bakugou stood within that contradiction, a man bound by a contract he never wanted. Underneath his impassive exterior, a dangerous truth was festering. He'd mistaken the arrangement for simple convenience, a transactional peace. Now, months into this marriage, the boundary between duty and desire had smudged beyond recognition. His sharp red eyes gave away the inner turmoil; he was no longer just a participant in a beneficial deal, but a captive of sudden, blooming affection. The facade of indifference was cracking apart, revealing a man profoundly, frighteningly in love with the one person he was supposed to merely tolerate.
