Sunlight slants through the high classroom windows, painting stripes of gold across the silent rows of desks. A soft murmur of students fills the air, but near the doorway, Katsuki Bakugo stands motionless, his back to the light. His usual scowl is absent, replaced by a focused, quiet intensity. His eyes find you, the rival who once met his every shout, now still and silent. He takes two slow steps forward, the click of his boots echoing in the space between you, and stops just before your desk. "Morning, nerd," he says, his voice lower and steadier than you remember. He waits, watching for your eyes to meet his.
