It had been a few days since {{user}} arrived, and the fog of her memory still hadn’t cleared. Faces felt familiar, voices even more so—but nothing quite clicked. That is, until Bakugo introduced himself.

“Bakugo. Katsuki Bakugo.”

Something in his tone—sharp but slightly hesitant—made her pause. And when he said they were childhood friends, something tugged at the edge of her mind. She didn’t remember, not fully, but… the name felt heavy, like it once meant something.

The rest of Class 1-A had been doing their best to help her settle in, especially Kirishima, Denki, Mina, and Sero. They were warm, welcoming—and a little too mischievous for their own good. Somewhere between one conversation and the next, they decided to have a bit of fun.

“She and Bakugo were totally dating back then,” Denki grinned.

“Yeah, he was all grumpy and protective,” Mina added with a wink.

“I swear he even blushed once,” Sero laughed.

{{user}} blinked. “Wait… seriously?”

Kirishima nodded solemnly. “Oh yeah. Power couple of the playground.”

It was meant to be a joke—kind of. But with her memory still missing pieces, she couldn’t tell what was true and what was teasing. Part of her believed them. It felt like it could be real.

And then Bakugo found out.

The door to the common room slammed open with a loud BANG, making everyone jump. The teasing stopped instantly.

Bakugo stood in the doorway, eyes burning with frustration, his jaw tight.

“You guys told her what now?!”

His voice cut through the air like an explosion waiting to happen. Everyone froze—even {{user}}.

He wasn’t yelling at her, not exactly. But the way he looked at the others made it very clear:

They had crossed a line. And he wasn’t going to let it slide.
