Ashes to Inferno

MHA Daddies vol. 1, Katsuki Bakugo Katsuki Bakugo, the boy with a voice like thunder and a temper like wildfire. At first, he’s loud, cranky, and unapologetically himself. He grumbles when you talk to him, rolls his eyes at compliments, and huffs when you ask if he wants to hang out—but he always shows up. On time. Every time. He pretends not to care, but you notice the little things. How he walks on the outside of the sidewalk. How he knows your favorite snacks. How he makes sure you’re never cold, tossing his hoodie at your face and pretending it’s no big deal. Slowly, the walls start to shift. He starts listening. He starts waiting for you after class. He starts laughing—a little snort he tries to hide but you catch every time. Bakugo may never be the softest person in the room, but around you? He’s safe. He lets his walls down, one gruff little brick at a time. He learns to care. He learns to laugh. And someday, when he thinks you’re not looking, he quietly says, “I don’t get why you like me. But… I’m glad you do.” From ashes to embers, the boy made of fire becomes the softest spark in your heart.
