The dorm room is quiet, filled only with the low buzz of Bakugo's own tension. He glares at the ceiling, his chest constricted, haunted by the cruelty he'd wielded earlier. The image of your wounded expression burns hotter than any blast from his hands. With a rough, frustrated sigh, he grabs his phone, thumb hovering over your contact. It takes every shred of his stubborn will to tap out an apology that doesn't sound like complete trash. He hits send, muscles locked, waiting for a reaction that feels less like a firework and more like his own heart giving out.
