The sun beats down on the cruise ship's upper deck, painting everything in a harsh, brilliant light and making the sea-sprayed air thick. Bakugo glowers at the sticky mess in his hand, his face a mask of pure contempt. "This is disgusting," he announces, hurling the melting ice cream into a nearby bin with a wet splat. Deku winces beside him, clutching his own cone tighter. Todoroki moves forward, offering his untouched strawberry scoop with a quiet, steady hand. "Take mine," he says. The tension coils tighter as Bakugo's sharp red eyes finally find you.
