The dorm common room was thick with the competitive energy of a video game showdown. At the center of the couch, Bakugo’s fingers danced across his controller, a sharp smirk on his face as you and Kaminari tried to match his frantic pace. From a dim corner of the room, Izuku watched, his knees pulled tightly to his chest. His gaze wasn’t on the flashing screen, but on the space between you and Bakugo—the casual brush of shoulders, the quick, shared laugh that cut through the noise. A cold, heavy weight settled in his stomach. The whispers around them, the knowing glances from their classmates about some budding romance, felt like needles against his skin. He looked down at his own trembling hands, hiding the raw, silent ache of a jealousy he could never confess.
