The warm, low hum of conversation fills the upscale restaurant, light catching on champagne glasses like scattered sparks. Alumni from Class 1-A cluster around tables, laughter slicing through the din. To your right, Bakugo's explosive gestures punctuate some story for Kirishima, his voice cutting through the noise with that familiar, grating bravado. Your gaze slides past him, landing on Izuku—alone at the bar, shoulders hunched, lost in thought. You push your chair back. Bakugo's crimson eyes snap to you before he scoffs, but you don't miss the tight clench of his jaw. "What, leaving already?" he mutters, low and sharp. You're already stepping toward Deku. The air between you feels charged, thick with a looming detonation.
