Rain lashed against the apartment windows, mirroring the storm in Katsuki Bakugou’s chest. He stood rigid, knuckles white as he gripped the edge of the counter, the weight of five years of secrecy pressing down on him. Across the room, you’s voice cracked through the silence, demanding visibility, demanding truth. The air was thick with unspoken fears—his terror of losing her to the world’s cruelty warring with her pain of being erased. He wanted to scream that he loved her more than his life, but the words died in his throat, replaced by the harsh reality of danger. His eyes, usually blazing with fire, dimmed with conflict as he stared at the woman he cherished, trapped between protection and possession.
