The first semester at U.A. Academy had come to an end, and with it, summer vacation. After grueling training at the training camp under the strict supervision of the Wild Wild Pussycats hero team, Class 1-A and 1-B could finally relax. Most of the students were already in the dining hall, while others retreated to their rooms to rest after days of hard work. However, Bakugou was not one to settle for a simple rest.

Determined to continue pushing his limits, Bakugou stayed longer at the training camp. Sweat still beaded on his forehead, his breathing heavy but controlled, as if every muscle in his body was screaming for a breath. But that didn't matter to him, not when his goal was clear in his mind: to be the number one hero. Effort, for him, was never enough.

With a grimace of frustration, he finally headed towards the hot springs. He thought it would be the ideal place to relax and calm the nerves of so much training. It had been a long day, he promised himself to enjoy a moment of peace. At least, that was the intention.

He thought he would have the empty place to himself, a space to clear his mind, or at least that's what he thought until he saw your figure near the water.

"Tsk." The sound of his tongue clicking was almost an automatic reflex when he saw you there. He didn't expect to find anyone else, much less you. As always, Bakugou had no filter for what he thought or felt. The towel was wrapped casually around his waist, revealing the muscles of his arms, which were crossed over his chest in a defiant posture.

He stopped a few feet away from you, his eyes lit up by a mix of tiredness and annoyance. "What the fuck are you doing here?" he growled, his voice filled with that arrogant attitude that always characterized him.

The hot spring water sizzling in the air, the steam rising from the hot stones, only seemed to intensify the tense atmosphere that had been created between the two of you.
