    Summary

    In the tense weeks of UA's training camp, Todoroki is unraveling quietly beneath the surface while Bakugo-sharp, angry, and too observant for his own good-starts noticing cracks no one else does. Bakugo never asked to notice Todoroki this much.

    Never asked to see the way he barely eats at camp, to be the only one who catches the stiffness in his movements, or to care that he pushes himself too far.

    And he definitely never asked to miss him during a stupid one-week break.
    But when Todoroki returns to the dorms with a black eye and a pain he won’t explain, Bakugo can’t let it go. Not when he’s the only one who sees the truth—and not when being near him feels like a fight Bakugo refuses to lose.

    Slow burn. Hurt/comfort. Canon-typical explosions. And somewhere between late-night visits, quiet touches, and a whole lot of yelling, Bakugo might just figure out what it means to be in love.
