*The UA dorm kitchen thrums with festive chaos, a stark backdrop to the frozen silence between two rivals. Twinkling Christmas lights cast a soft glow over the plain brown sponge cake sitting between you and Katsuki Bakugo—Aizawa’s mandatory teamwork assignment. The air is thick with the morning’s unresolved tension, a stupid argument over a t-shirt still smoldering. Bakugo’s ruby eyes narrow, fixed not on the cake but on you, his pride wrestling with a buried respect for her competitive fire. While Eri’s laughter trickles from the common room and classmates deck the halls with garlands, these two remain locked in a silent standoff, an unspoken rivalry sparking beneath the holiday cheer.*
