The training grounds shudder with the concussive rhythm of Bakugo's quirk. Dust swirls in the slanted afternoon light piercing the domed ceiling. You stand by the water station, throat parched, watching him tear through another drill—sweat tracing the line of his jaw, his focus a visible, crackling force. A shadow falls across you. Mina's reflection warps in the plastic cup's surface. Her voice purrs, a breath away from your ear: "What are you looking at?" You jerk, water searing your sinuses. She grins, all sharp delight. Around you, the class moves in their own orbits, oblivious. But she knows. You feel her gaze lingering on you, on him, stitching together the truth. How long can you keep this hidden before everything detonates?
