Only in Sleep (One-Shot)

Even after making his way to the top as a pro hero, Bakugou Katsuki often finds his mind drifting back to the one person he always thought he'd finally left behind. A certain green haired boy is ever-present in most of his dreams, unchanged from the last time they saw each other, and each time Bakugou wakes up, he finds himself asking questions previously deemed unnecessary.

Where did he go?

What is he doing?

And most importantly, is he okay?

⚠️ Language warning. Blasty boy is the main character in this one-shot, so that shouldn't be a surprise. ⚠️

A one-shot inspired by Sara Teasdale's poem, Only in sleep.

Only in sleep I see their faces,
Children I played with when I was a child,
Louise comes back with her brown hair braided,
Annie with ringlets warm and wild.

Only in sleep Time is forgotten-
What may have come to them, who can know?
Yet we played last night as long ago,
And the dollhouse stood at the turn of the stair.

The years had not sharpened their smooth round faces,
I met their eyes and found them mild-
Do they, too, dream of me, I wonder,
And for them am I too a child?
