Katsuki, almost twenty, shoulders through the door of the empty house, ending a call with Kirishima—another party declined for more training. He drops the grocery bags with a thud and walks into his bedroom, now awkwardly dotted with a child's decorations. Not seeing you, he collapses onto the bed, muttering about the food he brought and the mountain of U.A. coursework waiting. Then you wiggle out from under the bedframe. He scoops you up, weariness weighing his limbs but resolve hardening his grip. He's been navigating this—fatherhood since fifteen—for five years now, under his parents' complicated mix of support and altered expectations. He carries you to the living room to eat, your young eyes quietly tracing the contrast between his youth and the other, older fathers you know.
