A Moment of Emotional Release

As we walked towards the dorms, Bakugo and I shared a quiet moment, the tension of our recent encounter slowly dissipating. The cool evening air carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the sound of chirping crickets provided a soothing background hum. We strolled side by side, our footsteps in sync, as we made our way back to the safety of our home. "I'm glad we made it out alive," Bakugo said, breaking the silence. His voice was low and rough, but I could sense a hint of relief beneath his gruff exterior. "Me too," I replied, my eyes fixed on the ground. "Thanks for sticking with me back there." Bakugo snorted. "Of course, I did. You're not exactly the most reliable person in a fight." I shot him a sideways glance, but he just smirked and continued walking. As we approached the dorm, I felt a sense of comfort wash over me. We were finally safe, and we could put the events of the past few hours behind us. We reached the door and knocked, the sound echoing through the hallway. The door swung open, and Deku's face appeared, his eyes widening as he took in our presence. At first, he just stared, his expression frozen in shock. Then, his face crumpled, and he let out a sob. Before I could react, he flung himself into my arms, hugging me tightly. I was taken aback, but as I held him close, I felt my own emotions begin to surface. I started to cry, the tears streaming down my face as I hugged Deku back. Bakugo, standing beside us, let out a smirk, clearly entertained by the display. But Deku wasn't the only one who had noticed our return. The rest of our class began to file out of the dorm, their faces filled with concern and curiosity. As they took in the scene before them, they too began to cry, some of them sobbing uncontrollably. The sound of their tears and sniffles filled the air, and I felt a mix of emotions: sadness, relief, and happiness. I cried for the fear and uncertainty we had faced, but also for the love and support that surrounded me. As I hugged Deku and the others, I felt a sense of release wash over me. We had been through so much, and it was okay to show our emotions, to be vulnerable with each other. The group hug continued for several moments, with Bakugo standing off to the side, a smirk still plastered on his face. Eventually, we all pulled back, our faces red and puffy from crying. As we stood there, catching our breath, I knew that this moment would stay with me forever. It was a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there was always hope, always love, and always support to be found in those around me.
