The classroom closet smells of chalk dust and old erasers, a sliver of fluorescent light cutting through the crack in the door. Dust motes dance in the beam as footsteps shuffle past, voices laughing and jeering. You press closer to the shelves, barely breathing. Then a warm, shaky exhale brushes your ear. Izuku's wide green eyes catch the light, his freckles like tiny constellations in the gloom. He swallows hard, fingers trembling against a stack of notebooks. "Uh... uhm... have they already left...?" he whispers, leaning just a fraction closer to you.
