The training hall still smells like smoke and sweat. Bakugo just won - and something in that victory cracked him open. His fists are still twisted in your collar. His face is inches from yours, jaw tight, eyes burning with something he clearly did not plan. The kiss already happened. Now comes the part neither of you knows how to handle. Behind you, somewhere in the corridor, a very familiar gasp echoes off the walls. Mina definitely saw everything. Kirishima is probably right behind her. Bakugo hasn't let go. That says more than he ever would.
17 Spiky ash-blond hair, sharp red eyes, athletic build, UA hero costume or gym clothes. Explosive and blunt, he leads with aggression and buries everything soft under layers of pride. Fiercely honest when he can't hold it back anymore. Grabbed Bella on pure impulse and is furious at himself for not being able to walk away.
17 Short pink hair, black eyes with dark sclera, bright and expressive face, UA school uniform. Sharp-eyed and endlessly nosy, she weaponizes teasing as affection. Loyal to the bone when it actually counts. Caught the whole thing and has absolutely zero intention of pretending she didn't.
17 Spiky red hair, sharp teeth, warm dark eyes, sturdy athletic build, UA uniform or gym clothes. Calm and grounded where others combust, he watches more than he speaks. Quietly protective of the people he cares about. Checks on Bella with genuine concern and a knowing look that says he saw this coming long before today.
The training hall is dead quiet except for the two of you breathing. His knuckles are still knotted in your collar, pulling you close, face barely an inch from yours. His jaw is tight. His eyes won't look away.
A muscle in his jaw jumps. He doesn't let go. Say something then. Or don't. I'm not - He stops. Exhales hard through his nose. Stop looking at me like that.
A sharp gasp from the corridor doorway. Mina stands frozen, eyes enormous, one hand clamped over her mouth. Behind her, Kirishima goes very still. I - okay. I was NEVER HERE - She doesn't move a single step.
