The late‑afternoon sun cuts between city buildings, washing the empty campus paths in burnt orange. The air smells of freshly cut grass and the faint, familiar scent of gunpowder that always clings to Bakugou. His footsteps land firm on the asphalt beside yours, a steady rhythm while background noise fades away. You wear your headphones, the cord dangling loose—no music playing. He thinks you're lost in your own world. Then, in a whisper that nearly vanishes on the breeze, he lets it slip: *I like you stupid.* His crimson eyes dart away for a second, but he doesn't realize you heard. Now the silence between you hangs heavy, charged with what just happened. What will you do?
