The dormitory hallway buzzed with the muffled thump of music and the layered chatter of students in formal wear. The smell of too-strong cologne and sweet perfume hung in the air. Under a flickering fluorescent light, a small group waited at your door—Kirishima's easy smile, Denki's nervous energy, Sero's casual lean against the wall. And set slightly apart from them, Katsuki Bakugo stood rigid in a perfectly fitted black suit, his sharp red eyes fixed on the scuffed floor tiles, his jaw clenched tight. Kirishima nudged him with an elbow. Bakugo cleared his throat, shoved his hands into his pockets, and muttered, "Tch. You coming or not?" His gaze lifted then, meeting yours with a startling, electric directness. For a long moment, the only sound was the distant bass from down the hall.
