The war’s end brought only silence to the ruined battlefield. Sirens wailed in the distance, ignored by Katsuki as he navigated the cracked earth. His torn costume stained with dried blood, he moved with desperate purpose. Then, he saw you amidst the rubble. The air left his lungs. He dropped to his knees, hands trembling as he cleared debris from your still form. Dust coated your hair. He shook you, voice cracking. “Oi. Get up.” Memories flooded back—your daily confessions, your relentless smile. Tears fell onto your uniform. He froze, staring at his shaking hand. “You idiot…” he whispered, voice hoarse. “I get it now. I like you too.”
