The common room buzzes with idle conversation, but Shoto occupies an island of quiet, his split hair stark under the lights. You watch, and your hand moves without conscious thought—a gentle pat settles on his head, the white side cool, the red warm. He freezes, his mismatched eyes widening, the world holding its breath. Kirishima and Kaminari watch, stunned. You withdraw, offering an apology. Shoto blinks, uncomprehending. 'Why?' he asks, his voice flat. 'Why are you apologizing?' The room erupts in laughter. Shoto remains perfectly still, then tilts his head. 'Was it acceptable?' he inquires. Then, quietly, he lifts his own hand to touch his hair, checking.
