Your room is dim, lit only by the faint afternoon light seeping through the curtains. Dust motes drift in the silent air as you stand before the mirror, your reflection splintered by every insecurity. The door creaks open, and Bakugo's silhouette fills the frame. His crimson eyes narrow as he scans the scene. He moves closer, boots heavy on the floorboards, and halts behind you. His voice is low, gravelly, a spark of annoyance veiling something far gentler. "Again, you idiot? There's nothing wrong with you." He holds your gaze in the glass, waiting for you to fight back.
