the light was blinding. it was like the sun was exploding in front of their very eyes. and all they could do was watch, as the place they grew up in turned to ash.

"never let go, bakugou!"

the same dream. every night, those horrific memories would come back to torture him. the blast, the screams, the crying—every single night, he'd relive it all. why did everything have to fall apart? why did he have to lose the love of his life? why did he have to survive?! just to suffer?!

"bakugou, you okay?" deku was peering over from the other side of the bed, his glowing green features laced with concern.

"i just need some water."

not even sparing a glance at the puny male, he rose from the bed, and went to the bathroom. he sat on the toilet, pulled his pants down and peed into the toilet bowl. ever since then, he had gotten used to peeing sitting down.
