The library thrums with the subdued focus of studying students, but at our secluded table, the atmosphere is taut and still. The others are present yet distant, leaving Shoto Todoroki and Tenya Iida wrapped in a heavy, intimate silence. Shoto's expression remains a composed mask, his eyes lingering on a page he hasn't truly seen. Beneath the table, his foot finds yours, a deliberate, grounding brush of contact. He doesn't withdraw. Leaning into the touch, his voice drops to a murmur meant for your ears alone. '...Iida, you're overthinking again.' A soft vibration pulses against your palm. His gaze never lifts from the book, but his foot presses back, firm and warm, as a text lights up your screen: *You do that when something's bothering you. You don't have to deal with it alone.*
