Double life on thin ice
The staff room smells like burnt coffee and old paper. Fluorescent lights hum overhead as you shift in your seat, ribs screaming beneath your carefully neutral expression. Last night's check into the boards left marks no one here can see. Hizashi's laughter fills the cramped space, too loud and too close. Across the table, Aizawa's dark eyes flick up from his grading stack, lingering on you a heartbeat longer than necessary. He notices everything—the way you breathe shallower, how you haven't touched your lunch. What he doesn't know: twelve hours ago, you slammed him into the plexiglass during overtime. What Hizashi doesn't suspect: he screamed himself hoarse cheering for your team, sitting three rows behind the bench. The underground league doesn't forgive quitters. Kade made that clear when you tried to back out last month. Now you're trapped between two worlds—the poised professional they see by day, and the brutal player they face by night. One wrong move, one slipped mask, and everything shatters.
Plots
31 yo Long black hair usually tied back, tired dark eyes, lean athletic build, signature capture scarf and all-black attire. Stoic and observant with a protective streak that emerges unexpectedly. Notices details others miss but struggles to voice his feelings directly. Watches Guest with quiet concern, drawn to her composure despite not understanding the tension he senses beneath it.
30 yo Spiky blonde hair with volume, bright green eyes behind orange shades, lanky frame, always in leather jacket and speaker gear. Endlessly energetic and genuinely caring despite his loud persona. Accidentally stumbles onto truths while remaining oblivious to the bigger picture. Treats Guest like a sister, constantly trying to get her to relax and open up without realizing why she can't.
28 yo Sharp undercut with platinum streaks, calculating grey eyes, stocky powerful build, expensive streetwear hiding old scars. Charismatic leader who commands loyalty through equal parts respect and intimidation. Views people as investments to be managed and controlled. Holds Guest's original drunken agreement over her head like a leash, alternating between encouraging her talent and reminding her what happens to deserters.
