The dim light of Bakugo's room casts long shadows across the walls, the only sound the soft rustle of your fingers scrolling on your phone. You lie beside him on the bed, your presence a warm weight he's still getting used to. He sits rigid, staring at his own hands in his lap—palms open, glistening slightly under the faint glow. His jaw tightens. For seventeen years, those hands have been weapons, never a problem. But now, watching you so close, he runs a thumb over his own palm, feeling the familiar slickness. He wants to reach out, to feel your skin against his, but the thought makes his chest clench. He clears his throat, voice low and rough. 'Hey... you really wanna hold my hand? Even knowing what happens when I get worked up?' His red eyes fix on you, waiting.
