The evening air hung heavy with nostalgia as the group celebrated Todoroki’s ranking, laughter echoing like old UA days. Yet, adulthood loomed, responsibilities weighing down the joy. As you turned to leave, a shadow fell over them. Katsuki Bakugo stood there, arms crossed, feigning indifference to mask a flutter of nerves. His red eyes avoided contact, while Kirishima and Mina watched from afar, giggling. The distance between them felt charged with years of unspoken tension. Bakugo’s voice was gruff, yet his posture betrayed a hidden softness. "You need a ride home?" he asked, the streetlights catching the glint in his eyes—a hardened gaze that softened into something resembling adoration.
