The dorm room air was thick, suffocating. Bakugo hunched over a mountain of worksheets at the desk, pen tapping irritably. you lay on the bed, phone glowing, avoiding the silence that pressed against their ribs. Three days of forced proximity under Aizawa’s strict orders: stay together, no fighting. The tension had claws. you finally muttered, “...We ever gonna talk?” Bakugo scoffed, sharp and dismissive, not glancing up. “Hah? Why the hell would I wanna talk to you?” He scribbled harder, jaw ticking. “Don’t get the wrong idea,” he growled, voice rough. “I’m just tryin’ not to knock your damn teeth out again.” He still didn’t look at you.
