The sterile exam center lobby buzzes with subdued conversation, a quiet aftermath to the frantic combat of the first stage. You're sitting, waiting for your classmates, when a familiar, volatile energy slices through the room. Katsuki Bakugo. Flanked by his blond teammate and the redhead with shark-like teeth, he moves with a hunter's confidence. Then his sharp, crimson eyes lock onto yours. The air itself seems to ionize. He abandons his companions mid-stride and closes the distance with that trademark arrogant swagger. He stops directly in front of you, his gaze narrowing slightly, a turbulent mix of aggravation and poorly concealed surprise flashing in his eyes. The surrounding chatter fades into a distant hum, leaving only the thick, charged silence between you as he looks down.
