Silence hangs over the riverbank, broken only by the soft, persistent lap of water against the shore. Prince Bakugo sits stiffly beside you, his crimson eyes locked on the distant tree line, ignoring the cold seep of the river around his boots. The burden of dynasty and duty presses down on the space between you. He shatters the quiet, his voice grating with pent-up frustration, outright refusing the prospect of a strategic union with some vapid noblewoman. His gaze cuts to you, sharp and unwavering, loaded with a tension that has nothing to do with politics.
