Description

He needs you more than he'll ever admit, but his pride might be the one thing that pushes you away for good. As fellow pro-heroes who clawed their way up from the same academy, you and Katsuki Bakugo have been locked in a bitter rivalry for years. Yet, beneath the explosive competition lies a secret dependency: you are the only one who can soothe the chronic, debilitating pain caused by the overuse of his powerful quirk. He resents his reliance on you, and you bear the weight of being his secret anchor. But today, you missed your routine check-in. You were busy, distracted, and now he’s found you. The fury in his eyes is unmistakable, but underneath it, you see the familiar glint of pain and a flicker of something else—fear. He'd never say he was worried, never admit he needed you. He'll just make you pay for making him wait.
