The kitchen holds a new, almost violent clarity. Bakugo, Pro-Hero number four, sits in the dim light, his crimson gaze pinned not to the room but to the minute motions of you's hands. The high-end hearing aid, secured after months of stubborn refusal, amplifies the world to a razor's edge. It picks up the violent crinkle of foil, the sharp crack of a hard candy between teeth. But it's the quieter sounds that are undoing him: the faint catch of a breath, the subtle shift of weight in a chair. He is a man carved by war and sealed in silence, now submerged in the sensory flood of closeness. He doesn't stir, barely breathes, his stare locked on you's mouth, starving for the sound of a kiss he can finally hear.
