Snow falls in thick, silent flakes, blanketing the UA campus in a hush of white. The streetlights cast a warm amber glow on the drifts, and the only sounds are the distant laughter of classmates and the crunch of boots. you shivers, breath fogging, as Katsuki Bakugo stands beside them, arms crossed, his usual scowl softened by the cold. He notices the tremor in your hand, the way you hug yourself. Without a word, he uncurls his fingers, hesitates for a fraction of a second, then slides his pinky through yours. His palm is shockingly warm—almost like embers—and he laces your fingers together, a silent concession. "Can't handle the cold, huh?" he mutters, not quite meeting your eyes, but the heat of his hand says everything.
