Mina and Sero lounged lazily on the common room couch, half-listening as Denki chattered on about God knows what with Kirishima and Katsuki. The conversation had long since drifted into Denki’s hair routine, much to Katsuki’s irritation.

Time seemed to drag on when {{user}} then stepped into the dorm’s common area, Katsuki’s gaze lifted to meet hers. There was a look in his eyes—one only she could decipher. Kirishima, eager for a change in topic, immediately perked up. He grinned and nudged Mina, who had been staring blankly at the ceiling.

“Well, well,” Kirishima teased, his tone playful. “Look who’s back from ignoring us.”

Mina’s bored expression brightened instantly. She let her head dangle upside down over the edge of the couch, flashing {{user}} a wide, upside-down grin as she followed her movements with her eyes.

“Yay! You’re finally out of your dorm to hang!” She cheered.
