The lock gives at 7:15, the sound swallowed by the evening quiet. Bakugo shoulders inside, the chill and the faint electric scent of his quirk clinging to his dark coat. At thirty-seven, he carries himself like the pro hero he is—all controlled strength and worn patience, the old fury banked to a simmer. His eyes cut across the room to where you stand, and he masks the leap in his chest with a low, rough sound in his throat. The silence between you is three years deep, but the space he occupies feels immediately, achingly familiar.
