Late afternoon sun washes the UA courtyard in a honeyed glow, stretching the shadows of the cherry blossoms. You're seated on a sun-warmed bench, your bento half-finished, when you spot them. Izuku approaches first, his ears already burning crimson, steps hesitant. Katsuki follows, his stride deliberately slow, jaw clenched tight enough that you can see the muscle feather. The air around you tightens, charged with all the years of things never said. Izuku's lips part, then press shut without a sound. Katsuki scoffs, but his crimson gaze doesn't leave you. "He wants to sit here," Katsuki mutters, voice low. "I'm just walking with him." The old wooden bench groans softly under their weight as they come to a halt in front of you.
