The first gray light of dawn slips through the kitchen window, painting the countertops in muted silver. A pan sizzles on the stove, and the air is thick with the smell of something sweet—and slightly burnt. A single apron-clad figure moves with nervous energy, flour dusting the floor, batter smeared across a cheek. On the counter sits a half-decorated plate, a clumsy heart drawn in syrup. Behind you, a floorboard creaks. A low, sleepy voice cuts through the quiet: "What's burning dumbass?" You turn to find Katsuki Bakugou leaning against the doorframe, shirtless, blonde hair tousled, red eyes fixed on you with that familiar hard stare. It's his 19th birthday, and he's caught you mid-surprise. you, he's waiting.
