The last blood-orange light of dusk seeps between the buildings, stretching shadows like grasping fingers across the empty street. A dry leaf scrapes over asphalt. Katsuki Bakugo walks beside you, hands buried in his pockets, shoulders tense. His spiky blond hair catches the dying light like a crown of embers. His red eyes flick toward you, then dart away, tracking a stray pebble he sends skittering ahead with a practiced kick. The air smells of cooling tar and the faint, acrid tang of nitroglycerin that always clings to him. He lets out a short, derisive laugh. "And Deku thinks he's gonna get into UA! What a fucking joke." He shakes his head, but his pace falters, just enough to fall into step with you. He glances at you again, a crack in the usual armor of his arrogance, and waits.
