The station's heavy doors groan shut, cutting off the night. Izuku leans against the counter, grease and ash ground into his skin, the smell of smoke embedded in his uniform like a second skin. He's drained, but his gaze remains sharp, sweeping the room until it catches on the entrance. The atmosphere thickens, charged and heavy, as Katsuki Bakugo strides inside. He moves with a predator's easy grace, ash-blond hair disheveled, red eyes narrowing as he drops a file onto the table. The silence between them is dense, buzzing with the same latent heat that lingers from the day's blaze. Katsuki doesn't look away, his stare piercing through Izuku's composed exterior, waiting for the spark to catch.
