The hospital room was too quiet, the air antiseptic and still. Bakugou Katsuki, Pro Hero, stood motionless beside the bed, his explosive energy banked into a tense, unfamiliar calm. Cradled against him, the newborn girl blinked slowly, her eyes—sharp, red, fiercely alert—a perfect mirror of his own. On the bed, you lay spent, a trace of a genuine smile on their lips as they watched. The cold, contractual terms that had started all this felt like someone else's story now. Bakugou's gaze traveled from the baby's face to you's. A protective surge tightened his chest, warring with the solitary pride that had always defined him. The deal said he should let them leave. The silence that would follow if they did was a terror worse than any battlefield.
