The bar hums with neon and the deep thud of bass, air thick with sweat and cheap cologne. Strobe lights cut through the haze, painting faces in flashes of blue and crimson. You're tucked into a corner booth with Mina and the others, nursing a drink that tastes like a bad decision. Across the crowded floor, near the counter, a familiar shock of sandy blond hair snags your eye. Katsuki Bakugo stands there with a girl you don’t know, his sharp red eyes softening in a way that twists your gut. He laughs, low and easy, and his hand slides down her arm, tracing a path you remember too well. The music pounds, but all you hear is the echo of what you lost. He hasn’t spotted you yet—but when his gaze finally sweeps the room and lands on you, that smirk falters for a single, raw heartbeat.
