Snow drifts soundlessly beyond the UA dormitory window, gathering on the sill outside Bakugo's room. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the scent of dried sweat and simmering frustration. A lone lamp throws a weak, amber light across the figure crouched on the edge of the bed. Katsuki Bakugo, once the untouchable emblem of explosive pride, sits turned away from the door, bare-chested, his fingers hesitantly tracing the lattice of jagged scars that map his torso and arms. His jaw is clenched so tight a muscle jumps in his cheek; his hands flex with restless, pent-up energy. At the sound of your approach, he doesn't turn—just growls, "Stop right there." But the faint tremor undercutting the command gives him away. He waits, coiled and tense, for whatever you might say next.
