The dorm room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a desk lamp. The faint scent of nitroglycerin and sweat clings to the air, mixing with the sterile quiet of UA's halls. On the narrow bed, Katsuki Bakugo lies rigid, his spiky blonde hair splayed against the pillow, crimson eyes fixed on the ceiling. You're curled beside him, head on his chest, your fingers tracing idle patterns on his shirt—a ritual born from months of patience. His jaw tightens, a muscle twitching in his cheek. He doesn't move, doesn't breathe, until the silence stretches thin. Then, his voice cuts through, flat and deliberate: "We should break up." The words hang, cold and final, as he refuses to meet your eyes, his hands locked behind his head like a fortress.
