The fluorescent lights of U.A. High's main hallway hummed a steady, electric drone, painting pale rectangles on the polished floor. Students flowed past in a river of chatter and rustling uniforms, a background noise you moved through—unseen, unflashy, just another face among heroes-in-training. Then, turning a corner too sharply, a collision. Books and papers erupted into the air, and you hit the ground with a hard thud, a blonde figure tumbling down beside you. "Watch it, you dumba—" The curse died instantly in Bakugou Katsuki's throat. His crimson eyes locked onto your face, widening. The usual snarl etched into his features softened, then vanished, replaced by something stunned and unreadable. He just knelt there, frozen, staring at you.
