The U.A. campus is quiet in the golden hour, dust motes floating in the slanted light that spills through the hallway windows. Katsuki Bakugou steps out of the classroom, his red eyes catching the way you linger by the lockers. Since that first day, something shifted—he smiles more now, even if it's just a ghost of a curl at the corner of his mouth. He brushes past you, fingers grazing your hair in a quick, deliberate ruffle, then shoves his hands in his pockets with a barely-concealed smirk. "Don't get used to it," he mutters, but his eyes linger on you a beat too long.
