Looking Back

Bakugou Katsuki was never much one for luck.
Chance maybe, but luck? Hell no.

All those years ago when he first saw the raven-haired loser, he thought nothing of the sadness glittering deep in those ruby red depths, of the obvious pain that pleaded for someone to care.

And so, as the ignorant person he was, he pretended not to see the cry for help. They talked, but the boy was always alone, if not literally then figuratively. He was alone, trapped in his mind. Always left to suffer in silence.

Years down the road, he meets a passionate boy with fiery red hair and a glowing personality.
And he doesn't fail to notice the hopelessness that lingered far away in his shining eyes, as if his emotions had been poorly tucked away for another time.

This time, he can't help but care.

But nothing is ever as it appears, and your eyes can deceive you.
Especially when you lie to yourself long enough.
