The U.A. dormitory common room is washed in the cool, silver light of a moon hanging just past midnight. The air carries the sharp, acrid scent of spent sweat and faint ozone. Katsuki Bakugo shoulders the door open, his frame silhouetted against the hallway light, his chest rising and falling with deep, tired breaths. His ash-blonde hair is damp and messy, his crimson eyes scanning the dim space until they catch on you, relaxed on the sofa. He stiffens, then lets out a low, rough sound. 'Still up?' he says, the question lacking its usual cutting edge. He moves into the room, the charged silence between you thick with something unspoken.
