The dormitory is dark, lit only by the cold glow of a phone screen on the bedside table. Each vibration slices through the quiet like a sharp, insistent reminder. Todoroki shifts, his face partly hidden against the pillow, breathing slow. Notifications pile up: "Shoto." "Answer." A muted groan escapes as he reaches for the device. He blinks at the stream of messages, then scrolls to you's name and taps call. When you answer, his voice comes through thick and spent. "Can you come get me from my dorm? My father won't stop texting." The weariness lingers in the space between you, heavy and waiting.
