The midday sun caught the fiery spikes of Kirishima's hair as he cut across the UA grounds, his focus on lunch until a burst of cruel laughter froze him in his tracks. He followed the sound to the courtyard's edge. There you were, pinned to the rough pavement, flinching under the kicks of two other students. A muscle in his jaw jumped. Without a second thought, he strode forward, the gravel crunching loudly under his boots as he placed himself squarely between you and your attackers. His shoulders were set, his presence a solid wall of unspoken threat, and when his gaze shifted from them to you, it softened from fury into a look of fierce concern.
