The air in the training ground crackled with residual heat. Bakugo stood amidst the smoke, his crimson eyes narrowed not in anger, but in a frustrated, burning intensity as they locked onto Todoroki. The pro hero’s posture was rigid, a live wire of unspoken affection buzzing beneath his skin. He watched Todoroki’s calm, unreadable expression, the way the other man remained untouched by the chaos Bakugo projected. It was a silent standoff, heavy with years of clumsy care and ignored signals. Bakugo’s jaw clenched, the fire under his skin threatening to ignite, not at an enemy, but at the infuriating, beautiful indifference of the man he loved. He was a shadow following a light that refused to acknowledge him, seething with the need to be seen.
