The sharp scent of antiseptic cut through the sterile air, mingling with the sweet decay of wilting flowers. Bakugo sat motionless by the bed, a statue carved from scarred flesh and quiet anguish. The war had ended, but his watch had not. His calloused hand gripped yours, his thumb moving in a slow, possessive circle over your knuckles. When voices urged him to rest, to eat, his jaw tightened, his crimson eyes burning with a fierce, terrified devotion. ‘I’m not leaving,’ he growled, the words cracking as he pressed his face into your palm. ‘She’s everything.’ He remained, anchored to your stillness, refusing to release his hold.
