The weekend sun bled through the dormitory windows, painting the room in shades of amber and gold. Class 1-A was quiet, the day's stillness broken only by the distant hum of the city. Shoto Todoroki trudged through the door, his body aching from hours of forced training under Endeavor's watch. He found you there, waiting in his room—the only person who ever offered him warmth without demand. He hesitated, then moved closer, his arms stiff and uncertain as he tried to find the right way to hold you. "L-Like this? Am I doing it right?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper, searching your face for reassurance.
