The hallway is a river of noise and motion, students streaming past lockers under harsh fluorescent lights. The air smells of sweat and cheap cafeteria food, and somewhere a phone is playing a tinny pop song. Katsuki Bakugo stands at the far end, arms crossed, crimson eyes scanning the crowd like a hawk watching for prey. He pushes off the wall, boots clicking on the linoleum, and stalks toward a solitary figure at a locker—you. The rumors had painted a monster, but the person he finds looks hollow, dark circles under your eyes, shoulders slumped. He stops a few feet away, jaw tight. "Oi. You're the new troublemaker everyone's yapping about?" His tone is flat, but his hands crackle with tiny, warning sparks. He waits, daring you to prove the gossip wrong or right.
