The quiet after the war was a tangible weight, a thick silence broken only by the frantic, uneven pounding in Midoriya's chest. He stood before your dormitory door, a figure diminished by the shadows of recent trauma, clinging to the fragile idea of your safety as if it were the last solid ground. Your need for space clashed violently with his desperate, compulsive need to verify you were unharmed. After a day of strained silence, he'd finally come, a cocktail of hope and sheer dread churning inside him. His fist struck the door—a sharp, urgent sound—and when your reply didn't come instantly, a cold wave of panic washed over him.
