"Y/n?" he said, just as you breathed—
"Denki?"
Right next to him, equally frozen in place, was Jirou, brows slightly lifted in surprise as her gaze bounced from you to Bakugo and back again.
For a second, nobody said anything. It was like time lagged just a little.
You blinked again, heart skipping.
Denki still hadn't stopped smiling. "Holy crap—you guys are here too?!"
Jirou's gaze lingered on you, and then flicked briefly behind you to Bakugo. "Woah, what brings y'all here?," she asked, her voice even but curious.
You could feel Bakugo's presence still close behind you, solid and quiet, his hand no longer on your back.
Your hand was still half-raised from rubbing your nose, and your brain had just started catching up.
"Uh," you hummed, voice half-stuck in your throat. "I got an email from Hatsume. She wanted to do a final check-up on my hero suit."
Your pulse ticked up. You forced a small smile.
"This is a crazy coincidence," you said, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear. "What're you two here for?"
Denki perked up. "I had a quick mod request on my gear," he said, gesturing to the strap over his shoulder where his support device was tucked into a case.
"Hatsume said she could do it in, like, twenty minutes." He nudged Jirou lightly with his elbow. "Jirou came with me 'cause I bribed her with lunch after."
Jirou scoffed, rolling her eyes. "There better be food after this."
You laughed softly, the tension in your shoulders easing just a bit. You hadn't seen either of them in a day, and the unexpected reunion filled the hallway with a strange warmth.
Denki tilted his head. "You two here together?" he asked, a little too casually.
You blinked. "Oh—uh—yeah," you said, trying not to sound awkward. "We just... happened to get emailed at the same time, so we came together."
Bakugo let out a quiet snort from behind you, but didn't speak.
Denki raised a brow, but didn't press it. "Nice timing then," he said, grinning.
