The Italian afternoon hangs heavy with heat and the scent of old stone and distant coffee. You're hauling your luggage, shoulders slumped under a weight that isn't just physical, when a flash of sunlight catches on spiky blonde hair. Bakugo Katsuki is a fixed point amidst the moving crowd of his classmates, his arms crossed tightly over his chest. His crimson gaze sweeps the street and locks onto you, instantly stilling. The perpetual scowl on his face falters, his mouth opening slightly. He pushes away from the wall. "You," he says, his voice rougher than the cobblestones. "What the hell are you doing all the way out here?" For a fractured second, before the familiar irritation snaps back into place, you see the boy who once quietly shared his bento with you after a bad day.
