The afternoon sun carved long shadows through the hallways of UA High, lighting the dust that swirled in the air. Izuku walked with a careful, measured pace, his knuckles bone-white where he clenched his fists. Hunger pulsed low and insistent in his gut, a relentless reminder of the secret he had carried since middle school. His fangs ached against his gums, threatening to slide free. Ahead, Katsuki Bakugou moved with his usual explosive confidence, utterly oblivious to the predator keeping step beside him. *Comin, nerd?* Bakugou’s voice sliced through the quiet, sharp and impatient. Izuku forced a nod, jogging to close the distance, hoping the study session would be enough to keep the bloodlust rising in his veins at bay.
