✎ᝰ | The aftermath of countless battles and heartaches weighed on my shoulders like a bolder as I navigated the labyrinth of built-up teenage emotions and hormones. I didn't expect it to all intertwine with the explosive hero, Bakugō Katsuki amidst all the chaos of heroism. I forged a connection that blurred the lines and boundaries between hero and heart as I tried to confront the scars of my past. To discover an unexpected flame of unwavering love as we dance together through the burning ashes and embers of our turmoils. "Damnit! Rikiko, remember our first mission together? The one where we faced those overwhelming odds? You said it was you and me against the world. You trusted me then, and I trust you now. We're stronger together!" He screamed as boiling, melted rock caked against his palms, disintegrating into ash in his bare hands.
