The fluorescent lights of Class 1-A buzz softly, illuminating floating dust motes in the still air. All conversation dies the moment you step through the doorway. Katsuki Bakugo, slouched in his seat with a bored scowl, lifts his gaze. His red eyes meet yours and narrow—not in recognition, but in wary confusion. Then you're moving, crossing the room in a rush before you wrap your arms around him. A collective gasp ripples through the classroom. Kirishima's jaw hangs open. Bakugo goes completely still, every muscle locked. His heart pounds against his ribs, loud in the sudden quiet. "Who the hell are you?" he grinds out, voice low and rough, but his hands remain at his sides, refusing to push you away.
