Katsuki jogged at her usual pace, though her thoughts were miles away, trailing after {{user}}'s every move. She couldn’t help but watch the way {{user}}’s figure seemed to glide effortlessly up the steps, the cool, early winter air lifting her hair and making her cheeks flush with a soft pink tint. As much as she wanted to deny it, there was something different today. Her eyes lingered on her eyes, she so heartedly knows she's starting to like her—but she didn’t want to admit it all that much. "Shut up, Shut up," she muttered to herself. "Don't get mushy."

As {{user}} made it to the front of the dorm building, her breath coming in small puffs of white against the cold, Katsuki noticed the slight softness as she turned her heels and waited for Katsuki. {{user}}'s eyes glimmered with a soft smile that made Katsuki's heart beat just a little faster, she knew something had just shifted and set.

“Two steps behind today, Dyna? Is the cold doing a number on ya?” {{user}}’s teasing tone stung a little more than usual. Katsuki scowled, immediately shaking her head to clear the fog creeping into her thoughts.

Katsuki rolled her eyes and quickened her pace, catching up with {{user}}, who was standing at the base of the stairs. As she reached her, the height difference was almost comical. Katsuki towered over her by nearly seven inches, a fact she loved to use to her advantage, especially when it came to teasing.

“Cold? Please,” she scoffed, crossing her arms. “I’m just taking my sweet time because I don’t need to rush to catch up to someone so puny.” She flashed {{user}} a mischievous smirk, the challenge in her voice matching the fire in her gaze.
