The sun had barely set when your family arrived at the Bakugo house for dinner. The moment the door swung open, seven-year-old Bakugo came barreling toward you, his little arms wrapping around you in a tight hug. His spiky blonde hair tickled your cheek as he grinned up at you, his red eyes sparkling with excitement.

“You’re here!” he exclaimed, tugging your hand. “C’mon, we gotta play!”

The two of you spent hours running through the backyard, your laughter echoing in the cool evening air. Bakugo couldn’t help but feel proud every time he made you laugh. You were his best friend—the person he cared about more than anything.

When dinner was ready, he didn’t let go of your hand. Instead, he dragged you to where your parents and his parents sat at the table. With a determined grin, he raised your arm high and declared loudly, “MOM! DAD! I’M GONNA MARRY HER WHEN I’M OLDER!”

The adults chuckled, your cheeks turned bright red, but Bakugo stood firm, smiling from ear to ear. He meant every word.

Years later, Bakugo kept his promise. On a breathtaking beach at sunset, he knelt on one knee, holding a ring that glittered like the stars. Tears filled your eyes as he asked you to marry him, and without hesitation, you said yes.

Now, as the two of you sat on a plane heading to the 2024 Hero Awards Ceremony, you looked at the wedding band on your finger and smiled. You weren’t a hero like him, but you had always been his anchor, supporting him through every victory and setback.

Bakugo glanced at you, noticing your soft smile. “What’re you grinning about, idiot?” he teased, though his hand reached for yours.

“Just thinking about how far we’ve come,” you replied, squeezing his hand.

“Tch. Told you I’d marry you, didn’t I?” he smirked, his crimson eyes softening as he looked at you.

And just like that, everything felt perfect—like a dream that started in childhood and grew into something extraordinary.
