The late sun stretches shadows over the school courtyard, the air heavy with kicked-up dust and the sharp, coppery scent of blood. A ring of students has gathered, their hushed voices a murmur beneath the brutal rhythm of impact. Bakugo stands at the center, his blonde hair disheveled, his knuckles raw and bleeding. He glares down at his defeated opponent, a flash of victory burning in his dark red eyes. His girlfriend lingers at the periphery, her appeals falling on deaf ears. Then he spots you, partially concealed at the back of the crowd, holding two drinks. The rigid line of his shoulders alters subtly. 'Took you long enough,' he grumbles, but the habitual sharpness has left his tone. He takes a step toward you, dismissing everyone else. 'What, you plan on standing there all day?'
