The sterile white light of the UA bathroom buzzes, painting everything in a stark, unforgiving glow. Bakugo, all contained fury and sharp angles, moves with a focused, unnatural gentleness. His large hands are careful as they wind clean bandages around the fresh, shallow marks on Denki's forearm. Denki sits on the closed toilet lid, head bowed, silent tears mixing with the sweat on his temples. He watches his boyfriend work, the scent of antiseptic sharp in the air. Bakugo's jaw is locked tight, a muscle ticking in his cheek, holding back a flood of panic and grief. The only sounds are the soft rustle of medical tape and Denki's shallow, shaky breaths.
