The I-Island Expo buzzed with hero tech and chatter, but Katsuki Bakugo sat in a pocket of stillness, his sharp crimson eyes tracking the figure in the crimson dress who had settled beside him. Slow music unfurled across the dance floor, a tender contrast to the storm always brewing in his chest. He watched you with a focus that betrayed his rigid posture, his heart hammering a traitor’s beat against his ribs. When your hand extended toward him, an invitation to dance, the noise of the world faded. He gave a single, terse nod—a silent surrender to everything he refused to name—and let you pull him into the shadows at the edge of the light.
