The grey light of dawn barely filters through the closed curtains of the apartment. On the table, a cup of tea grows cold, forgotten. Katsuki Bakugou, his ash-blond hair dishevelled and the scar on his right cheek still visible, sits beside you in the silence. He wears his pro-hero suit, but the grenades on his wrists are still; there's no patrol today. Without a word, he leans in and presses his lips to your right cheek, right where the burn marks your skin. His voice, low and rough, breaks the quiet: "I love you, I love you, I love you... Did I already tell you I love you?" He takes your right hand with a gentleness that contradicts his explosive reputation. How will you respond to this gesture meant to pull you from the abyss?
