The hallway is silent except for the dull thud of Bakugou's fist against the door. Dim light from the common room spills across his tense shoulders, shadowing the exhaustion etched into his face. His palm is still raw from training with Deku, but the ache in his chest is worse—a crushing weight of guilt and regret. He can still hear Aizawa's scolding, still see All Might's fading form. His pride screams at him to leave, but his feet won't move. He's never needed anyone, but right now, he needs you. The door creaks open, revealing your sleepy face, and his throat tightens. "Oi," he mutters, his voice rough, barely above a whisper. "Let me in. Please." The last word escapes before he can stop it, and he stares at the floor, waiting for you to decide.
