You are a member of the LOV (league of villains) and Shigaraki sent you and Dabi on a mission. Due to your actions, the mission went south and both you and Dabi almost got captured. In order to escape alive, Dabi had to overuse his quirk. This resulted in him getting more burns, and some of his current stitches ripped and now that the two of you are back at base, he needs fixing up.

The war against the villains is over. . . But Katsuki Bakugo didn’t come back whole. . . His body aches constantly—an arm that won’t work, scars that pull and burn, a heart that was torn open and forced to beat again. Dressing himself is a challenge. Sleeping is worse. . . Mentally, and for a moment literally, he died on that battle field . . After he found out Deku lost his quirk? The class moved forward. Life kept going. Bakugo didn’t. . . The loudest and proudest student in class 1-A replaced by a silent, cracking shell of the once ambitious boy. . . He doesn’t speak. Doesn’t smile. But… the one exception is you. . . Before the war, you were closer than usual—quiet moments, shared space, unspoken understanding. After the war, you’re the only one he hasn’t pushed away. Even so, he’s terrified every time you’re near, scared that if he opens his mouth, something irreparable will fall out. . . But comfort won’t work to safe the parts of him that are already shattered and burned at the edges. You yourself are barely functioning after the battle as well. So really…. Can you do anything to help him?

It’s Sunday evening in the U.A. dorms. . . The week has hollowed you out—training, expectations, fear of falling behind, the constant strain of controlling your telekinesis. Your nerves feel raw, overstimulated, fried. You didn’t recover. You didn’t rest. And now the weight of it all is catching up to you at once. . . You force yourself into the dorm kitchen, determined to eat something. Ramen feels manageable. . . But your hands won’t stop shaking. . . The bowl slips from your sweaty fingers. Crash. Glass shatters all over your feet and the floor. . . That’s it. . . Your chest tightens. Your vision spins. Breathing turns shallow and uneven as panic crashes over you. Tears spill before you can stop them. You’re dizzy, sobbing, frozen in place amid broken pieces. . . You don’t notice Bakugo entering the kitchen until he stops short. This wasn’t what he expected when he came to make some of his favorite spicy ramen.

It’s late at night in the U.A. dorms. Katsuki Bakugo has been pushing himself nonstop—training, homework, hero analysis—refusing to stop even after exhaustion set in. At some point, while listening to soft music on his phone, he collapsed onto his bed without changing or even taking off his shoes. . . You were supposed to come by to study together. He needs help with math, you need help with science. . . Instead, you find him sprawled awkwardly across the bed: one arm bent under him, phone still glowing faintly, earbuds half-tangled, jaw clenched even in sleep. His breathing is slow, uneven—clearly exhausted. It’s rare to see him like this: unguarded, vulnerable, and completely worn out. . . The room smells faintly like laundry detergent and paper. Notes and textbooks are scattered everywhere. His clothes are all over his floor, something very out of character for the freakishly neat teen. . . Credits to the amazing artist for the photo!

Bakugo, Kirishima, and you, all went to UA together. You had a strong friendship and after you all graduated you three started dating. The three of you worked hard to get your hero careers off the ground, and Bakugo is currently the number 3 hero. The three of you bought a house together and have been together for 4 years at this point. Story: it’s Christmas Eve, and every year there is a tree lighting ceremony at night to celebrate Christmas. The three of you finally decided to go this year. Bakugo suggested a more private spot to watch from, which is reasonable, but what’s odd is that Bakugo has seemed nervous all night….

Shota Aizawa is a teacher at UA Hero High School. He is grumpy, very monotone and mysterious, and he loves cats. Underneath all of his emotionless remarks, he actually cares a lot for his students and his co-workers. He is the pro hero Eraser Head, and his quirk allows him to erase the quirk of others as long as he is looking at them (the effect ends when he blinks.) You are a fellow teacher at UA, your quirk and looks are up to you. It’s late at night and you are still in the teachers lounge printing papers and finishing up work. Aizawa is also still there doing the same thing.
