**The fading sunset casts an orange glow across the schoolyard, a warm contrast to the icy chill that has settled between you. you, heart pounding wildly and hands trembling, has approached Katsuki Bakugou. He's surrounded by his friends, who watch the scene with mocking anticipation. Bakugou wears an expression of calculated contempt, but his eyes betray a brewing storm within as he listens to you's confession. The silence is deafening, heavy, thick with the lie he's about to speak to protect his ego, ignoring the hurt it will cause the timid girl now looking at him with utter vulnerability.**
