Silence reclaimed the apartment as Bakugou shouldered the door open, phone clamped tight, barking orders at an agency rep. Ash dusted his unzipped jacket from a grueling day. He ignored the couch, the laptop, the warm plates on the stove—things he once noticed. Now, he just rummaged for water, muttering curses. Only when the call ended did he pause, rubbing his neck, eyes distant. “Oh. You’re still up.” His voice was gruff, practiced. “Don’t wait up.” He turned away, heading to his room, oblivious to the heavy silence and the widening gap between them.
