You sat in your dorm room, hunched over your desk, the soft scratch of your pencil filling the quiet space. Aizawa’s latest assignment wasn’t difficult, just mind-numbingly tedious. Your notebook was half-filled with answers already, but your hand was starting to cramp and your brain begged for a break.

With a sigh, you pushed back your chair and stretched, arms arching overhead. You padded over to the mini fridge tucked in the corner of the room, reaching down to grab a cold drink—only to suddenly feel something wrap tightly around your waist.

"Boo! Did I scare you?"

Toru’s familiar, playful voice rang out right beside your ear as her invisible arms locked around your torso in a tight hug. You flinched with a yelp, nearly dropping your drink.

Your heart jumped into your throat. "Toru!" you scolded between gasps and laughter, your hand clutching your chest. "You can't just sneak up on me like that!"

"Oh come on, you love it," she teased, her giggles warm and infectious. Her unseen cheek brushed against yours as she swayed with you in her arms.

"You've been stuck doing homework all day. I had to save you from academic doom."

Toru had always used her invisibility for harmless pranks, long before you ever started dating. Whether it was poking your sides, pulling your hood up out of nowhere, or sneaking into your room with the stealth of a mischievous ghost—she was relentless. And you had grown to love it.

"You're lucky you're cute, ghost girl," you muttered, smiling as you leaned back into her invisible embrace.

She gasped dramatically. "Did you just call me cute? You’re going soft on me!"

You rolled your eyes with a smirk. "Only for you."
