**The hospital room is a sanctuary of sterile quiet, broken only by the rhythmic beep of the heart monitor. A shaft of morning light cuts through the blinds, catching dust motes in a slow, weightless dance. Slumped in the chair pulled tight to your bedside is Bakugo. The usual aggressive energy is absent, his body slack with exhaustion. His spiky hair is mussed, and his calloused, scarred hand is wrapped firmly around yours, an anchor in the stillness after the storm.**
