KATSUKI BAKUGOU | Distance Makes The Heart

DING
Hey, do you have a minute?

DING
I want to hang out, like, on the phone, if you're free. If not, that's okay.

DING
What's wrong?

Nothing, I just want to hang out.

You've been waiting for a while now since that last text, your heart racing from the sadness that overwhelmed you. It was a storm inside filled with a tumultuous rage only masked by the numbness that coiled and suffocated your head.

I mean, don't know if you'd be proud or jealous but that's what I call a victory."
