Fairytales were supposed to have happy ends, at least that's what you had always been told.

The prince and the princess would meet and fall in love, but they would be distanced by some big bad and evil force. Thankfully the prince would defeat the evil, the princess would rejoice and their love saved, and they would live happily ever after. That was something that remained true through every story, in every tale love prospered. So was it cocky of you to think that your fairytale would end just the same?

You met Bakugou Katsuki in high school, and while he was no prince, nor was it love at first sight, the two of you did eventually fall for each other. Your feelings had been confessed in your second year of school and surprisingly, he had confessed his own feelings as well. The two of you remained in silent bliss about your new relationship for three days before things collapsed.

Villains overthrew Japan and the two of you were separated.

By no means were you some damsel in distress, but in the end, Bakugou was among one of the heroes who defeated the big bad evil. You can still remember throwing yourself into his bloodied and weak arms as he stood there victorious. Blood stained nearly every area of his body, but his eyes were strong and emotional as he stared at you with a smile.

"I t-told you, heroes don't l-lose," he stammered through his pain as he kissed you.

That was the end of your fairytale, the next step was to move on with life and live happily ever after!

It wasn't the case here.

How you craved it was the case.

But something changed one day with Bakugou.

He just stopped... caring.

It had started three years into your relationship. He began to start skipping days at work for no sensible reason, at least there was no actual explanation he could give you when someone came and reached out to you about it.

"Where's Ground Zero?" His sidekick asked you one day as you were patrolling down the same street.

Your eyebrows scrunched as you laughed a bit confused, "Isn't that what I should be asking you?"

"He hasn't shown up at all this week," the sidekick spoke slowly as if he was admitting some deep and dark secret. "I thought you knew?"

You didn't.

Your hand slammed to the back of your neck as you scratched it, trying your best to disguise your uncertainty. "I'm sure he's home?"

That night you had gotten home, Bakugou wasn't there. Your frown deepened when he showed up hours later, his body bruised and battered as if he had been patrolling today as if he was trying to convince you he was working.

"Hi, love," Bakugou murmured as he pressed a soft kiss to your lips. "It was a long day at work."

That was the first lie you had experienced come from Bakugou Katsuki.

When had he ever lied to you?

"Was it really?" You decided to play along as you watched him prepare the plate of food you had prepared for dinner.
