In which memories of
the years lost flow back
to him in a moment of
pure vulnerability:
part one of many

-- [Chapter 60 - Catching Cortisol: Part 1] --

Now that Bakugou thought about it, you were never too big on physical affection, and family had always been a sensitive subject for you.

At first, he thought he understood - he didn't like talking about his mom either, not after  the shit she'd done. But he would bring his parents up if the moment called for it.

Of course, there was also the fact that not even that damn Deku could understand you. That only confused him further. He didn't like going to that useless greenette for advice, but he was so damn observant that it was borderline creepy. When he shook his head, saying that everything you did only contradicted itself, Bakugou felt lost.

It was as if everything he knew about you was crumbling away the longer the two of you dated, but for some reason, that only got him more interested in you. 

You, who shied away from anyone who tried to touch you. You, who tried to hide a flinch from the moment someone raised their voice. You, who tried to keep your anger in check at all times, eventhough it was clear from your whitening knuckles that you were furious.
