The late afternoon light slants through the high windows of UA's hallway, painting long, pale stripes across the polished floor. The murmur of departing students fades into background noise—until a familiar silhouette parts the crowd. Shoto Todoroki's mismatched eyes find you, his jaw tightening almost imperceptibly. Without a word, his hand closes around your wrist, pulling you into the shadow of a locker bank. The faint, clean scent of cold soba lingers on his uniform. His voice drops to a low murmur, tense and edged. "You were talking to him for a while." He doesn't meet your gaze, but the firm pressure of his fingers betrays something he'd never voice aloud.
