The gravel of the U.A. dorm rooftop bites into his back, a distant, grounding pressure against the hollow ache in his chest. Katsuki Bakugou doesn't look away from the indifferent sprawl of stars, as if their cold light could cauterize the memory. Your confession echoes in the quiet—not the one he'd foolishly hoped for, but the one that carved him open: your love for someone else, his relegation to 'best friend.'

Now he's just the dark that comes after.
