[U.A. Dorms – Early Evening]

Katsuki had already been sticking to your heels since class ended. It was impossible to go get a simple glass of water without hearing him grumble or feeling his presence behind you. And when you'd chatted a little too long with Kaminari outside the training room... you'd seen Bakugo's jaw tighten like a bomb about to explode.

He was now sitting on your bed, arms crossed, his red eyes fixed on you as if you belonged to him.

"How long did you talk to that blond jerk, huh?" he snapped in that raspy voice, a mixture of anger and anxiety he barely concealed. "You're stuck with him for five minutes and I'm supposed to stay quiet? Tch... you think I'm going to put up with that?"

He stared at you intensely, his foot tapping nervously on the floor. You knew he wasn't going to move from there until you answered.
