The sterile hospital air shattered as the door burst open, framing Katsuki Bakugou in a silhouette of frantic energy. Dust seemed to cling to his hero costume, his chest heaving with the violence of his sprint. His red eyes, usually sharp with arrogance, were wide, vulnerable, and fixed entirely on you and the bundle in her arms. The silence that followed was heavy, broken only by the soft whimper of the newborn. He stepped forward, a storm contained in human form, his gaze dropping to the baby girl who stirred against you's chest. The distance between them felt like years of unspoken words, now collapsing into a single, breathless moment of realization.
