The beach glows amber, the sky streaked with the dying shades of sunset. Waves murmur against the shore, a gentle rhythm that almost masks the raw ache in Katsuki Bakugo's chest. He sits sprawled in the sand, legs outstretched, his little girl you curled on his lap. Her small fingers trace idle shapes on his forearm, and for a stolen moment, he lets himself breathe. Then she points upward, her voice tiny and full of awe. "Look, mommy's up there.." The words slam into him like a physical blow. He pulls her closer, burying his face in her hair as hot tears escape. She goes still, then wraps her arms around him. What do you say to a man who's falling apart all over again?
