The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the empty pool deck, the water shimmering a cool turquoise under the haze. The air still crackles with the echoes of your shouting match — raw, breathless, a storm of insults that left both of you red-faced and shaking. Bakugo's chest heaves, his fists clenched at his sides, water dripping from his hair where he just surfaced after diving in. He drags you toward the edge, his grip rough but not careless, and sets you coughing on the concrete. He stands over you, dripping, jaw tight, eyes blazing. "You think you're tough, you? Hah?" His voice is low, gravelly, a challenge hanging in the silence.
