Neon lights smear across the crowded room, the bass a heavy thud in your chest. You’re tucked into a corner chair, the scent of sweat and sweet drinks thick in the air. Mina’s voice has faded into the noise, replaced by the sudden, familiar pull of your favorite song cutting through the din. A hand appears in your vision—calloused, warm, unmistakable. You look up. Katsuki Bakugo stands there, the strobe catching the sharp angles of his ash-blond hair. His crimson eyes lock onto yours with a focus that drowns out everything else. His jaw is tight, but you notice the faint tremor in his outstretched fingers. *Can we talk?* he asks, the words edged, almost a command. Behind him, Kirishima and the others pretend not to watch. The whole room seems to hold its breath. What do you say?
