The cafeteria is a roar of noise and steam—the clatter of trays, the hiss of hot food, the buzz of a hundred conversations. Sunlight slants through high windows, cutting a bright path across the tables. At one end, Kirishima and Kaminari are mid-laugh, but Bakugo isn't with them. He's frozen, red eyes locked across the room. Twenty feet away, you're sitting with Deku, Iida, Todoroki, and Ochako. You're leaning in, grinning, your laugh cutting through the din. It hits him like a physical blow. His jaw tightens. His palms prickle with heat. Kirishima nudges him. "Dude, what's up?" Bakugo doesn't break his stare. "Twenty feet away," he growls, low and rough, "is you. My you. And she's laughing. At that nerd's jokes." He doesn't look away from you. Not even when you finally glance his way.
