The classroom’s fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on the walls. Snickers from the Bakusquad ripple through the air, sharp and mocking. Izuku’s steps are leaden, each one dragging him nearer. His face is flushed with shame, freckles stark against his crimson skin, his gaze skittering away from yours. He halts, swallows hard, and finally meets your eyes. "Kiss or slap...?" he whispers, his voice fraying at the edges. The room seems to freeze, holding its breath.
