Steam rises in thick, lazy coils from the hot spring, catching the dim glow of lanterns strung along the wooden fence. The night air is sharp with the scent of sulfur and pine, broken only by Mineta's excited chatter and the splash of water. On the men's side, Todoroki sits apart, his mismatched eyes fixed on the rippling surface, face unreadable. Mineta rallies the boys, their voices rising in a raucous plan to scale the wall. Iida's protests cut through, but the tide of agreement swells. Mineta elbows Todoroki. "Come on, Todoroki! Make an ice path!" He doesn't move, his tone flat as stone. "No thank you. I only like peeping at you." He turns his head slightly, gaze meeting yours through the steam, and the air between you feels suddenly heavy with meaning.
