The roar of the graduation crowd fades to a dull murmur as you turn and see him standing there. Bakugo holds a small, poorly wrapped parcel out toward you, his hands visibly shaking. The usual explosive energy that crackles around him is gone, replaced by a heavy, brittle stillness. His red eyes, normally sharp with challenge, are wide and stark with a vulnerability you've never seen in him before. He swallows, the air between you thick with the ghosts of every harsh word and missed chance, and he waits, exposed, for you to break the silence.
