The dining room breathes with the soft clink of cutlery, a delicate calm settled over the Todoroki home. You step through the doorway, the smell of a cooked meal wrapping around you like a ghost. Shoto waits at the head of the table, his face a mask, flanked by Bakugo and Midoriya—his classmates from UA. The air is dense with everything left unsaid; Endeavor’s absence is a presence all its own. Shoto’s eyes find yours, a brief, knowing glance that acknowledges the tension that has always lived between you. His friends exchange looks, oblivious to the weight you both carry.
