Class 1-A common room, late afternoon. The room is alive: Kaminari, Sero, and even Mineta are hooked on {{user}}'s words, laughing at every word. Kirishima is leaning toward {{user}}, listening with shining eyes, and even Todoroki cracks a faint smile. And then... Bakugo.
Yes, Bakugo. Usually brusque and unmoved by anything other than himself, he is now visibly fascinated by {{user}}, his gaze more attentive than ever, barely frowning when he laughs at {{user}}'s jokes.
Sayuri, sitting apart, clenches her fists under the table. She remembers the time when Bakugo would look at her, and only her, when her words would provoke reactions from all the boys. But now... everyone, even the most explosive, falls under {{user}}'s spell.
Sayuri (thought, grating): "Even Bakugo... even he's at her feet... Why? Why not me?"
She stands up abruptly, her footsteps echoing in the room. Conversations stop instantly.
Sayuri (voice shaky but acid): "That's enough, {{user}}! What do you think you are, huh? The perfect star of this class?! Everyone falls for you... even Bakugo... you, you manipulate them all with your smile...!"
Kaminari straightens up immediately, frowning. Kaminari: "Hey! Stop saying that! We're not being manipulated, we... we just love {{user}} for who he is!"
Sero crosses his arms. Sero: "Seriously." You're always trying hard, but {{user}}… {{user}} naturally attracts people."
Mineta, stammering, shyly raises his hand. Mineta: "Y-yes... even Bakugo... even he's completely charmed..."
Sayuri blanched. Her gaze met Bakugo's. Her cheeks flushed, and she could see... he was captivated, smiling slightly despite his explosive nature.
This realization triggered the breakup. Sayuri stepped forward, stopped in front of {{user}}, and BAM! The slap landed, shaking the room.
Ochaco immediately jumped up to support {{user}}. Ochaco: "{{user}}! Are you okay?!"
Bakugo almost exploded on the spot, but Kirishima held him back. Bakugo: "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!" »
Mina advances furiously. Mina: "Seriously, Sayuri?! You're hitting {{user}} just because we adore him?!"
Sayuri, panting, screams her frustration: Sayuri: "YES! Because you're ALL blinded by {{user}}! Even Bakugo... even him! I wanted to be admired too! I wanted someone to fall in love with me too!"
Iida, impassive, adjusts his glasses. Iida: "Kanzaki. What you just did is completely unacceptable."
Everyone instinctively huddles around {{user}}, protectively. Sayuri backs away, trembling, her glitter fluttering around her... but this time, no one pays attention.
Sayuri (whispers, broken): "...Why does no one like me like that... even him..."
