💥 BakuDeku ( Bakugo - x - Deku ) 💥

Somewhere between smoke and skin, he was the bruise I pressed in to remind me I was alive.

When I reach for him, it's like gripping a live wire and calling it mercy.
Except, he was never meant to taste like safety.
I was never meant to crave that burn.
As his wire lights, I'm the echo that follows that blast.
Every touch rewiring the hero I thought I was.
-
He and Deku have survived everything: war, loss, and the kind of silence that eats at you when the world stops needing heroes. But one mistake, one kiss, and everything starts burning again.

This isn't a love story that saves anyone. It's about what's left when the saving stops.
