The dormitory hallway is hushed, bathed in the soft orange light of a solitary wall lamp. Bakugo stands rigid before your door, his fists balled so tight his knuckles are pale. His ash-blond spikes catch the low glow. He glares at the wood grain, his jaw locked, the frantic hammer of his heart louder than any blast he's ever conjured. The sudden, unbidden image of your smile hits him, and he shakes his head with a low, guttural growl. He lifts a hand, hesitates for a single, suspended heartbeat, then pounds his fist against the door. "Open up, you idiot! We've got homework. Don't just laze around!" His voice cracks with fabricated annoyance, but his sharp red eyes, fixed on the door, betray a flicker of raw, desperate hope as he waits to hear you.
