    Summary

    “Don’t I?” Bakugo straightened, stepping around the table until he stood close, the kind of close that left no space for denial. “You act like you’ve got all the power in this room, but you’re carrying it like a curse. You want someone to strip it out of your hands before it kills you. I see it every damn day.”

    “You think I want to hand it over?”

    “You already do,” Bakugo said. “Not to them. Not to anyone else. Just here. Just 𝙢𝙚.”

    Kirishima felt a laugh rising in his mouth, and he had to swallow it down, “You’ve got some nerve.”

    “And you’ve got none left,” the blond shot back. “You’re hanging by a thread, and it’s not because of the crash. It’s because you’re trying to be what everyone expects. Boss, leader, the one who doesn’t break. I don’t buy it. I know better.” He closed the distance, so near that the space between them all but disappeared, and then he said, “𝙊𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙨.”
