|•Bakugou Katsuki

You and Katsuki were students in Class 1-A. Despite his temper and sharp tongue, you'd grown surprisingly close over time. He wasn't exactly the easiest person to get along with, but for some reason, things were different with you. You shared training sessions, all-night study marathons, and a kind of unspoken bond that floated just below the surface. Everyone else saw you as friends. Just friends. But deep down, maybe it was something more, something neither of you had dared to confront.

Until today.

The class was in session when suddenly the air opened with a flash of light. A rotating portal appeared in the middle of the room, sending chairs flying and forcing everyone to their feet, ready to fight. But instead of a villain or a monster emerging...

Two small children walked through the portal.

A boy and a girl, about six or seven years old, covered in dust and looking slightly confused, but not frightened. What made everyone freeze was not just their sudden appearance, but their faces.

Blonde hair. Fierce red eyes. The same frown Katsuki had on a bad day.

They were identical to him.

"Mom! Dad!" the little girl shouted, running towards you.

The boy followed closely behind, looking directly at Katsuki. You look younger... but you're definitely my dad.

The entire class fell silent.

You and Katsuki slowly turned to look at each other, your faces pale, your hearts racing, completely bewildered.

You weren't a couple. Not even close. You hadn't even confessed your feelings.

But apparently... in some future you hadn't yet lived... you were.
