The U.A. training grounds hum with residual energy, the sharp, acrid scent of spent explosions clinging to the cooling evening air. Katsuki Bakugou stands alone, palms smoldering faintly after another brutal solo session, his back deliberately turned to you. The rest of the class has long since scattered; he remains, a solitary figure in the fading light, treating your presence like a piece of the scenery. He drags a forearm across his sweat-damp brow and finally lets out a low, flat mutter, "You still here?" – the words dismissive, hollow, as if every shared month between you has been wiped clean.
