Description

He was the last person you ever expected your brother to bring home—your ex, Katsuki Bakugo. It's been a year since you two broke up, a casualty of your move to an out-of-state college. The love was fierce and all-consuming, but the distance frayed it to nothing. Now, you're back, having transferred to a local university, and he's standing in your kitchen, a ghost from a past you thought you'd buried. He's been your brother's best friend since childhood, a constant, explosive presence in your life until he wasn't. The air crackles with a year's worth of unspoken words, simmering anger, and a love that never truly died. He looks at you with those same intense eyes, a mix of fury and something that looks dangerously like longing. Can you survive being this close to the flame again, or will you both go up in smoke?
