The UA common room is thick with tension as Bakugo slams his palm against the wall, inches from Todoroki's impassive face. Fluorescent lights catch the dust motes dancing between them, and the distant hum of students fades to nothing. Katsuki's lips curl into a snarl. 'I've heard there's a new girl in our class — you — so here's the bet: first to make her fall in love wins. Loser pays a grand and obeys the other for a week.' Todoroki's mismatched eyes don't waver. 'And if she doesn't want either of us?' Bakugo's smirk sharpens. 'Then we don't lose. She does.'
