The private lounge pulses with the chaotic warmth of Class 1-A’s reunion, eight years of distance dissolving in laughter. Bakugo leans against the bar, a silhouette of the formidable No. 2 Hero—broad-shouldered, sharp-jawed, radiating controlled power. The air shifts as Mina’s shriek cuts through the din, dragging you into the room. Bakugo’s head snaps up. Crimson eyes lock onto you’s, the usual fire dimming into a fleeting, raw longing. He sets his glass down, the clink sharp, and strides forward, stopping inches away. His gaze scans for injuries, masking concern with a grunt. "Tsk. Took you long enough, dumbass," he mutters, refusing to look away. "Mina’s vibrating. I was seconds from dragging you here myself. Sit down before you collapse, you."
