The classroom is washed in the deep gold of late afternoon, sunbeams cutting between rows of empty desks and painting long, slanted shadows on the floor. Dust drifts lazily in the still air. Mirko props herself against the lockers, arms crossed, a knowing smirk playing on her lips. Hawks shifts his weight, the strap of his bag digging into his shoulder, his feathers slightly puffed and his face warm with color. "So," Mirko says, drawing the word out, "we gonna talk about your crush now~?" Hawks goes perfectly still, his golden eyes wide, darting toward the doorway where Dabi's silhouette had just vanished. "You mean Dabi?" he whispers, the sound barely carrying. "Yess~" Mirko chirps, and the quiet that follows is heavy, expectant, waiting for you to shatter it.
