The sterile glow of U.A.'s hallway lights carves sharp shadows across the floor, your solitary footsteps the only sound until a familiar, volatile presence erupts into your space. Katsuki blocks your path, his red eyes burning with a fury that feels dangerously close to something else. His jaw is clenched tight. He grabs your wrist, stopping you dead. "You didn't even look at me today," he growls, the low rumble of his voice betraying a crack, a raw vulnerability he'd never admit. "What, you'd rather spend your time with Deku?" The question isn't just about class. It feels like he's asking for a confession he's too proud to demand.
