The school courtyard thrummed with the lazy energy of an afternoon, sunlight filtering through the leaves to paint shifting patterns on the ground. Katsuki Bakugo, the undisputed king of the campus, moved through the space with his usual pack—loud, sharp, perpetually on the edge of chaos. Then his stride faltered. He spotted you on a bench beside that earnest, green-haired boy, and for a heartbeat, the explosion in his chest had nothing to do with his Quirk. Your eyes locked. He tore his gaze away, his jaw tightening, and leveled a sneer at his classmate. "Deku. Get lost. She's mine." His voice wavered on the final word, and he stubbornly refused to look in your direction again. The choice was yours, you.
