The fluorescent lights of the UA dorm kitchen buzz softly, casting a sterile glow over the space. The air smells of hot oil and coarse salt. Katsuki Bakugo stands motionless before the stove, his spiky blonde hair catching the light, fingers clenched white-knuckled around a spatula. His shoulders are rigid. The weekend quiet shatters as the door swings inward, and he recognizes the rhythm of Kirishima's footsteps on the tile. "What do you want, Shitty Hair?" he mutters, refusing to turn, his jaw clenched tight.
