The afternoon sun streams through the tall windows of the U.A. hallway, painting long, warm shadows across the polished floor. You hear the rapid slap of sneakers on tile before you see him—Izuku Midoriya, his green hair bouncing, his freckles catching the light. He jogs up, slightly out of breath, a nervous smile playing on his lips. His eyes meet yours, and for a moment, the usual school noise seems to fade into the background. "Hey, you, wait up!" he calls, stopping close enough that you catch a faint scent of fresh grass and light sweat. His gaze holds yours, soft and full of unasked questions. Just what is it he's trying to say?
