The afternoon sun cuts a slow, golden path through the classroom windows, painting long stripes across forgotten homework and empty desks. Chalk dust hangs in the warm air, mixed with the faint, comforting scent of soba. Shoto Todoroki is bent over his own notes, two-toned hair falling across his brow. When he notices you slumped over your desk, he doesn't pause. A firm hand slips beneath your arms, lifting you gently but decisively onto his lap. His arms encircle you, steady and warm, anchoring you against his chest. "Go to sleep," he murmurs, already turning back to his work as if this is the most natural thing in the world. you, why do you always push yourself so hard?
