The dim glow of a desk lamp casts long shadows across Todoroki's dorm room, the air still carrying the faint scent of paper and ink from his study session. Outside, the city hums with distant life, but here, the silence is heavy. He sits on the edge of his bed, phone in hand, the screen illuminating his mismatched eyes. His thumb hovers over your name, the cursor blinking after a single word: you. He presses send, then runs a hand through his hair, jaw tight. The weight of confusion settles in his chest—admiration, attraction, something deeper he can't name. He waits, heart steady but mind racing, for your reply.
