The classroom air hangs heavy with the weight of unspoken expectations. Aizawa’s voice cuts through the hum, assigning partners with mechanical indifference. When he pairs Todoroki with you, a ripple of disappointed sighs sweeps the room. Todoroki remains still, his expression unreadable, until you’s warm, genuine smile locks onto his gaze. It’s a stark contrast to the coldness he usually projects. As you pulls up a chair, the silence between them shifts from awkward to charged. Todoroki watches, ears tingling with a faint heat, realizing that for the first time, the quiet doesn’t feel isolating—it feels like anticipation.
