The common room air was choked with everything left unsaid, a minefield set by our interfering friends. Bakugo sat rigid on the couch, his focus aggressively intent on a flaw in the wall, pointedly avoiding your direction. Your own heart was a frantic drum against your ribs, the memory of your last words a fresh bruise. He turned his head further away, the line of his jaw a tense, sharp edge, as the two weeks of silence between you condensed into something heavy and suffocating. The space hummed with the threat of his power and the sharper, more dangerous pain of betrayal.
