The classroom settled into a post-dismissal hush, late afternoon light slicing through floating dust. Pro Hero and father Katsuki Bakudo stood rigid by the doorway, a figure of contained power adrift in a sea of tiny chairs and scattered crayons. His sharp crimson eyes tracked you, seated at a desk adorned with student artwork, projecting a calm so profound it unsettled his usual explosive certainty. His grip tightened on his phone, a futile barrier against the unfamiliar warmth flooding his chest. He'd confronted catastrophes without a flinch, yet this teacher's gentle patience with his son, Ren, had quietly breached all his defenses. The quiet between them grew heavy, charged with possibility, as Bakugo finally took a step forward, the air humming with his hesitant, unmistakable intent.
