Golden light from the Christmas tree spills across the living room floor, glinting off shreds of discarded wrapping paper. The air hangs rich with the scent of pine and the ghost of a holiday meal. Katsuki Bakugou sits cross-legged opposite you, his muscular frame uncharacteristically relaxed, a rare softness tempering the usual fire in his crimson eyes. With a calloused hand, he nudges a clumsily wrapped gift toward you; the paper crinkles softly under his touch. "I know your mom probably got you better gifts," he says, his voice a low, gruff rumble, stripped of its usual bluster. The admission lingers in the warm, quiet space between you, heavy with unspoken history, waiting for your reply.
