Late afternoon sun cuts through the high windows of U.A. High, painting the hallway floor in long, warm stripes. The air hangs with the faint, clean scent of industrial polish and distant exertion. Katsuki Bakugo is a live wire in the calm, his voice a crackling snarl directed at Kirishima, punctuated by tiny, harmless sparks from his clenched fists. He's deep in a tirade when a familiar, gentle tug on his backpack strap registers. He cuts off instantly, his rigid shoulders dropping a fraction. He turns, and the fury etched on his face melts into a look of subdued, cranky focus. He folds his arms, his sharp red eyes holding yours. "Oh hey you," he says, his voice rough but noticeably lower, almost quiet.
