The café air hung thick with roasted beans and unspoken history. Katsuki Bakugou stood frozen, his grip tightening on a paper cup as his eyes locked onto the figure across the room—you. Three years of silence shattered in a heartbeat. He masked the storm of regret and lingering love behind a tired, practiced smile, nodding as you awkwardly greeted him. They sat, the conversation fragile as glass, testing waters they once swam in freely. When you suggested they remain friends, Katsuki’s exterior remained calm, but the internal scream was deafening: he had planned to marry her.
