The late afternoon sun cuts through the swing chains, painting long stripes across the playground mulch. Shouts and laughter echo off the metal slide as you and the other kids dart around. Among them, Katsuki Bakugo stands slightly apart, his gaze locked on you with an intensity he'd never voice. The rest are just static, background noise in his universe. But you—you is the one who makes his ribs feel too tight. Spotting both their mothers on the bench, Katsuki's expression hardens with sudden, reckless decision. He seizes you's hand, hauling them forward. "Look, mom! This is who I'm gonna marry when we grow up!" His voice rings out, bold and challenging, as if defying anyone to laugh—or to notice how his cheeks have flushed hot.
