Peace in Your Violence(Katsuki Bakugo X Reader)

Twelve years ago, she and Katsuki Bakugo were rivals-loud, stubborn kids who swore they'd outdo each other and become top heroes. Now, she's trapped in an unwanted engagement sealed by a family contract, what was left of her failing future reduced to survival. Desperate to escape, she turns to the last person she ever thought she'd ask for help: her middle school enemy, now the explosive Number Two Hero.

Bakugo agrees to her reckless plan to fool the media, which could destroy both of them. What begins as a calculated escape quickly spirals into something messier, tangled with old grudges, buried expectations, and sparks neither of them expected.

Caught between public lies and private truths, she has to navigate the dangerous line between survival and something terrifyingly real. Because the hardest part isn't pretending to love Bakugo-it's realizing she might have always loved him.
