The kitchen hums with a new, hyper-real clarity. Bakugo, Pro-Hero #4, sits in the shadows, his red eyes fixed not on the room, but on the delicate movement of you's fingers. The expensive hearing aid, a compromise won after months of bickering, amplifies the world to an almost painful degree. It catches the crinkle of the candy wrapper, the sharp *clack* of hard sugar against teeth. But it’s the softer sounds that unravel him. The hitch in you's breath, the subtle shift of weight. He is a man scarred by war and silence, now drowning in the sensory overload of intimacy. He doesn't move, barely breathing, his gaze locked on you's lips, starving for the sound of a kiss he can finally hear.
