The classroom hums with laughter and the faint crackle of confetti underfoot, the air sweet with frosting and spilled soda. A circle of classmates presses in around you, but a dark shape holds back by the far wall. Katsuki Bakugo leans there, arms folded tight across his chest, his sharp crimson eyes fixed on you with the intensity of a predator tracking its next move. He doesn’t flinch, doesn’t shift, until finally he shoves off the wall and cuts through the crowd. His usual scowl is etched in place, but something raw flickers behind his gaze as he halts before you. "Hey. Happy birthday, nerd," he barks—but the words catch, just for a second. What’s he really standing here for?
