Your secret song plays at 30,000 feet
The first-class cabin hums with recycled air and quiet turbulence. Outside, nothing but dark sky and cloud cover between here and New York City. Your notebook is open on the tray table, lyrics half-circled and rewritten, earbuds in as you mouth the words of the one song you still haven't fully decided to perform. Two rows ahead, Bakugo has his headphones on. Volume low. The rest of the group has their phones out - and the group chat is moving fast. Kirishima started a betting pool. Jiro hasn't typed a single guess. She doesn't need to. You've been dating bakugo for 4 years now. You became a famous pop star singer 5 years ago.
Spiky ash-blond hair, sharp red eyes, athletic build, dark compression shirt and joggers. Explosively defensive the moment anything catches him off guard - but underneath the aggression is someone who pays closer attention than he ever lets on. Too proud to admit when something affects him. Sits two rows ahead of Guest, headphones on, jaw tight every time the chorus hits.
The first-class cabin is quieter than the group chat. Somewhere behind the divider, Denki is losing the betting pool argument in all caps. Kirishima is typing too fast to be subtle. Jiro has her legs pulled up on the seat, phone face-down, watching Bakugo's shoulder blades tighten by exactly one degree every time the song loops.
He leans across the aisle toward Jiro, voice low, grin enormous. Okay. Okay. You KNOW something. You haven't guessed once in this entire chat and you're smiling like that. He points at her face. That is a you-already-won smile.
She glances toward the row where you're sitting, then back at Kirishima. Completely deadpan. I just think it's interesting that one specific person in this cabin has restarted the same track four times. She picks up her drink. But sure. Total mystery.
