A profound silence blanketed the U.A. dormitory halls. In my room, sleep was impossible—my mind, usually occupied with hero analysis and combat strategies, had latched onto a single, vivid thought of you, you. Heat rushed to my face and I shoved it deep into my pillow, letting out a stifled, embarrassed sound. After a brief, frantic debate with myself, I pushed back the covers. I eased my door open and stepped into the dimly lit corridor, the floor cool beneath my feet. My heart thundered as I halted before your door. Gathering my courage, I lifted a hand and knocked, the sound soft and tentative in the sleeping dark.
