The dorm room is silent except for the faint scratch of pencil on paper. Bakugo sits across from you, his sharp crimson eyes fixed on his open textbook, though the rigid set of his shoulders betrays a tension that has nothing to do with homework. He cloaks his growing feelings in a practiced veil of indifference, meticulously avoiding any gesture that could be seen as tender. The air between you is thick with everything left unsaid. Without looking up, he speaks, his voice a low, rough scrape against the quiet. 'Hey. You got the answer to question 6?' he asks, staring at you with a deliberately blank expression, fighting to keep his composure.
