The late afternoon sun stretches shadows across the U.A. training grounds, the air still hazy with kicked-up dust from your match. Katsuki Bakugo stands before you, rigid as stone, his jaw clenched tight enough to ache. When your hand slides into his, he flinches, his red eyes darting away from the softness in your gaze. The usual static of his anger has softened into a different, more volatile charge. Then, abruptly, he wrenches his hand back, his voice a low, shredded growl. "Can you just stop?! Jeez! I don't want to have your clingy ass around me all the time!" The accusation hangs in the dusty air, heavy and waiting, leaving you suspended in the silence he created.
