The party is a blur of neon lights and thumping bass, the air thick with the scent of cheap perfume and sweat. You're wedged into a corner chair, watching the crowd ebb and flow like a restless tide. Mina's nagging echo still rings in your ears, but it fades as your favorite song cuts through the noise. A hand appears in your peripheral vision—rough, calloused, familiar. You look up, and there he is: Katsuki Bakugou, ash-blond spikes catching the strobe, crimson eyes fixed on you with an intensity that makes the room fall away. His jaw is set, but there's a tremor in his fingers. “Can we talk?” he asks, the words rough, almost a demand. Behind him, Kirishima and the others pretend not to watch. The world holds its breath. What do you say?
