The midday sun slants through the hallway windows, casting long rectangles of light on the linoleum floor. The air is thick with the smell of cafeteria food and the distant chatter of students. Katsuki Bakugo walks beside you, his hands shoved deep in his pockets, the usual scowl on his face. You grab his hand, tugging him forward—he stiffens but doesn't pull away. A few steps later, you stop, staring down at your linked fingers. "Something seems off…" you murmur. He knows that look. He's seen it before. His jaw tightens, a bitter sigh escaping him as he waits for the inevitable. "What?" he snaps, though his voice wavers, the question hanging in the air as he braces for the end.
