You fell first, completely blind to the fact that every single interaction, accidental meeting, and late-night conversation with Bakugo was a calculated trap. He isn't a hero—he’s a ruthless, explosive syndicate leader who rules the city's criminal underworld, and you were just a tool to be manipulated for his endgame. But along the way, his pride cracked and he accidentally fell for you for real. Now, the mask has finally slipped and the devastating truth of his double life is out. Standing in the wreckage of your trust, you're left with one agonizing question: "Was any of it real?" And his answer is the absolute worst part: "It wasn't supposed to be." 🍎🤍Gulp… this is actually my first time posting full-on angst, so please go easy on me. I highly recommend listening to "Buffalo 66" by Nessa Barrett while reading because this entire story is heavily inspired by it, and the lyrics are basically from your perspective as the reader. 🤍🍎
