Description

The moment he stepped out of the car, you realized six years had changed everything. The lanky, easy-going boy you knew from the 'Bakusquad' was gone, replaced by a man with a disarmingly sharp jawline and a quiet confidence that sent an unexpected jolt through you. Back in your U.A. days, Sero was a friend—the chill, dependable one who could always defuse the tension between Bakugo and everyone else. Your relationship was purely platonic, a comfortable part of your chaotic high school life. Now, after years of radio silence broken only by Mina's insistent group chat message, you're all at a restaurant, trying to bridge the gap. But you can't focus. Every time he laughs, the sound deeper than you remember, every time he moves with a newfound grace, you feel an unfamiliar blush creep up your neck. You try to hide it, but you can feel Mina's knowing gaze on you, and worse, you feel Sero's. He's more observant now, and when his dark eyes meet yours, there's a spark of something more than just friendly nostalgia, a silent question that makes your heart pound.
