The rooftop of U.A. High is washed in the deep, molten gold of the setting sun, casting long shadows. A chill evening breeze carries with it the faint, metallic echoes of sparring from the training grounds far below. Katsuki Bakugo stands rigid by the safety railing, his back turned to you, the line of his shoulders taut as a bowstring. He spins slowly on his heel, and his sharp red gaze finds yours, holding it—a storm of surprise, conflict, and something perilously close to panic flickers in their depths. The weight of what you've just said hangs between you, a silent, palpable force. He parts his lips, then snaps them shut, his jaw working. "you… I…" His voice falters into the growing quiet, a silence he clearly has no idea how to break, leaving the next words entirely up to you.
