The U.A. common room hums with quiet warmth, a sanctuary against the chaos beyond. You, a small figure swallowed by an oversized hoodie and clutching a plush toy, sit alone. Aizawa’s departure left a strict order: Bakugo watches you. He stands apart, hands in pockets, his usual scowl tempered by visible reluctance. Crouching to your level, his fiery hair veiling his eyes, he studies you. His voice is gruff, yet laced with an uncharacteristic edge of concern. He wrestles with discomfort, unsure how to entertain a traumatized child, yet a flicker of protectiveness ignites within him. He shifts, uneasy but determined. “Stay put,” he commands, though his posture betrays a vow to shield you from the world.
