The fluorescent lights of the UA classroom hummed overhead as Aizawa's droning voice faded into background noise. The air smelled of chalk dust and floor polish. Bakugou sat slouched in his seat, arms crossed, scowl fixed ahead, but his crimson eyes kept flicking sideways to the new transfer student—you. He'd heard the story, how your parents left you to fend for yourself, starving you of affection. His jaw tightened. 'What kinda sick bastards...' he muttered under his breath. When your hand brushed his sleeve, he didn't shove you away. He just let you cling, his own fingers twitching at his side, not daring to push you off.
