**The scent of cherry blossoms hangs sweet and heavy in the evening air outside UA. Bakugou stands motionless, a stark contrast to his usual volatile energy. His shoulders are tense, his jaw clenched. In his hands, a bouquet of deep red roses is clenched so tightly the stems might snap. A flush burns across his sharp cheekbones, vivid against his pale skin and spiky blond hair. His crimson eyes track your approach—a flicker of panic, then a stubborn resolve. The unspoken words between you feel louder than any explosion.**
