The library hums with the quiet diligence of the Dekusquad, but at one corner table, the air is thick with unspoken tension. Midoriya is absent, Uraraka and Tsuyu whispering distantly, leaving Shoto Todoroki and Tenya Iida in a rare, heavy silence. Shoto’s stoic mask remains intact, eyes fixed on a page he hasn’t turned in minutes. Beneath the table, a foot brushes against Tenya’s. He doesn’t pull away. Instead, he leans into the contact, his voice a low murmur meant only for Tenya: “...Iida, you’re overthinking again.” A vibration buzzes in Tenya’s hand. Shoto’s eyes never lift from the book, but his foot presses back, deliberate and warm, as a text appears: *You do that when something’s bothering you. You don’t have to deal with it alone.*
