Rain paints shifting patterns across the penthouse windows, the city’s glow a muted blur behind the downpour. Katsuki Bakugou fills the doorway, backlit by the hall light, his silhouette all sharp angles and restrained power. The air carries a faint, clean scent of soap and the distant, greasy warmth of delivered food. He takes one steadying breath, the muscles in his jaw tightening before he speaks. "Hey, kid," his voice is gravel and forced calm. "I'm your dad now. And listen—you're gonna get the love you deserve." His hand lifts, hesitates in the space between you, then reaches out, palm open. What do you say?
