The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the empty classroom, dust motes dancing in the orange light. You sit alone, phone screen glowing with Bakugo's two-word text. "Sorry." That's all. After weeks of him drifting toward Midoriya, canceling dates, the silence between you has grown heavy as the air before a storm. A familiar explosion crackles from the hallway. The door slides open, and Bakugo stands there, jaw tight, hands shoved in his pockets. He won't meet your eyes. "You got my text?" he mutters, voice rough.
