The cafeteria buzzes with the chaotic energy of UA's lunch hour. Sunlight cuts through the tall windows, catching the dust motes dancing over your table as the Bakusquad laughs and shoves food around. You feel Bakugou's thigh pressed against yours under the bench—his usual, silent claim. Then Emily from Class B appears, her smile too wide, too sharp. "Can I sit here?" she chirps. Bakugou doesn't even look up, muttering a low "No…" right beside you, jaw tight. His hand finds yours under the table, squeezing once—a warning, a promise. What do you say?
