A low murmur of conversation and the flickering glow of a television fill the U.A. dorm common room. Soft lamplight spills over the sofas where your classmates lounge, but the space near the kitchenette crackles with a different, sharper energy. Kaminari’s voice lashes out, clear and cruel—"If she can’t see that, she’s just delusional and stupid!"—and there’s Bakugo beside him, arms crossed, shoulders tense, a low, agreeing grunt rumbling in his throat. Your steps stutter as Mina’s fingers graze your arm in warning. The entire room seems to hold its breath. Bakugo lifts his head, his crimson stare meeting yours without a hint of apology. "Got a problem?" he challenges, the words a low growl daring you to answer.
