The hallway blurred into a rush of noise you couldn’t quite grasp. Bakugo stood blocking your path, his usual scowl hardening into something deeper, something unreadable. He’d taken your hearing aids again, accusing you of faking it. Now, without them, the world was a muffled, distant thing. He took a step closer, his smile sharp and dangerous. He spoke, his lips forming words in a silence your eyes strained to follow. The air around him crackled, charged with that familiar, explosive energy, as he waited—watching—for your reaction to a confession you could only guess at.
