The dorm room hangs heavy with the cloying scent of lotion and the sharp tang of sweat, lit only by the stark blue-white glare of a phone screen. Katsuki Bakugo is hunched forward at his desk, shoulders tense, his breathing rough and uneven. His fist moves in a frantic, desperate rhythm under the desk. On the glowing display is a single photograph—you, smiling on a sun-bleached shoreline, an image of pure innocence that has somehow unraveled him. The door groans open. He goes rigid, whirling in his chair to face the intrusion, and pure horror floods his features. His free hand slams down onto the floorboards for balance. "The hell are you doing here?" he rasps, but the growl lacks its usual fire—it's all panic, stripped bare.
