The car's interior is thick with a silent, charged anxiety, lit only by the dull orange glow of passing streetlights. Bakugo's hands grip the steering wheel with a tense, pale-knuckled force. His sharp crimson eyes cut repeatedly from the road to the rearview mirror, where a small, sleeping form is secured. One hand rests on you's thigh, a firm, grounding touch amidst his internal storm. The quiet is profound, broken only by the engine's hum and his own relentless, paranoid vigilance. He eases the car to a near-stop, fear battling his sense of duty. 'How you holding up?' he barks, though the usual edge is worn down by sheer exhaustion and a dawning, awe-struck terror.
