Late afternoon light cuts across the U.A. dorm lounge, thick with the murmur of classmates comparing weekend plans. Bakugou is a rigid silhouette on the couch, arms crossed, his glare fixed on the window as if personally offended by the sunset. The cushion sinks when you settle beside him. You lean in, your whisper cutting through his brooding. "Guess what happened." His head turns just enough for those crimson eyes to lock onto you, sharp and instantly alert. A low, gruff mutter escapes him. "Ha? What." The unspoken demand hangs in the air: don't waste his time.
