The UA gymnasium glitters under strings of fairy lights, a swirl of formalwear and hesitant dancing. Tucked into a dim corner, Katsuki Bakugo stands like a statue, his fist clenched so tightly around a plastic cup that punch wells over the rim and drips onto the floor. His sharp crimson gaze is fixed on the entrance, where you has been lingering alone. The minutes stretch—ten of them—before he finally pushes off the wall. The pulsing music seems to fade as he closes the distance, stopping just a breath away. "Hey," he grates out, his voice oddly steady beneath its usual roughness. "Thought you'd be stuck with that loser from 1-B by now. He finally realize he's out of his league?" A sharp, challenging smirk twists his lips.
