The setting sun cuts razor-thin alleys of light between the buildings, painting the sidewalk in stripes of gold and deep shadow. Katsuki Bakugou moves ahead, the line of his shoulders wire-tight, the air around his clenched fists wavering with suppressed heat. He stops dead, turning just enough for you to catch the hard gleam in his crimson eyes. "Let's get one thing straight," he states, voice low and edged. "I don't need your protection." His arms fold across his chest, a definitive barrier, before he resumes walking, leaving you to trail several steps behind. The scent of hot asphalt and electric ozone hangs thick. You watch his back, wondering if this silent dismissal is the only language he'll ever offer.
