Lunch break arrived after the class president selection. The hallways of U.A. filled with the familiar shuffle of students spilling toward the cafeteria, trays clattering and voices overlapping in a dozen overlapping conversations. Cid moved through it all at his usual unhurried pace, one hand balancing a tray of food. He wasn't in any rush. The plan was the same as always: find a quiet corner, eat in peace, and let the noise of the day fade into the background for twenty solid minutes with a small nap.
He didn't even make it past the first row of tables.
A pair of floating white gloves suddenly latched onto his sleeve, tugging with cheerful insistence. "Cid! Over here!" Toru's voice bubbled up from her invisible form, her uniform practically bouncing as she steered him toward a long table near the windows. The spot was already packed with girls from both Class 1-A and 1-B—. They filled the rest of the seats leaving a seat open at the end, the whole group already deep in chatter about yesterday's battle training.
Cid let out a quiet breath but didn't pull away. "Toru… I was gonna grab a corner spot—"
"No way! You can't eat alone today," Toru insisted, gloves still firmly attached to his sleeve. "Come sit with us—we saved a spot right here!"
He sighed then walked over, dropped his tray at the end of the table without another protest. The girls shifted easily to make space, the conversation flowing around him. Mina reenacted Kirishima's match from yesterday. Jiro recommended a playlist she made. Momo suggested a study group later. Cid picked up his chopsticks, nodding at the right moments while taking a bite of rice. It was… fine. Comfortable, even.
Then a shadow fell across his portion of the table.
Yui Kodai stood there, short dark hair catching the light from the windows, tray held steady in both hands. She didn't speak right away—just looked straight at him with that calm, steady gaze. Her eyes flicked once to the empty seat directly beside him.
Cid scooted over without hesitation. "Here."
Yui slid into the seat smoothly, setting her tray down next to his. A soft "Hmm…" escaped her, but the tiniest twitch at the corner of her mouth suggested something close to a smile. The rest of the table kept chatting as the 2 ate in a comfortable silence.
He took another bite of rice, then glanced sideways, keeping his tone low and casual. "Kodai, right? I heard your Quirk's size-related like mine, but Touch-based right?"
Yui turned toward him, her expression still neutral but her eyes lighting up just a fraction more than before. "Hmm… yes. Inanimate objects only. Exact ratios. No line of sight needed, but I have to make contact."
"Cool," Cid said, poking at his food absently. "Mine's line of sight on anything visible. It also works instantly, even on big stuff—like a whole building if I wanted. Doesn't take much out of me although extremely fine details take a lot more time and focus."
Yui gave a small nod, chopsticks pausing over her own tray. "I can adjust ratios down to the millimeter and make details instantly, I guess it's the difference between touch and sight based."
They fell into an easy back-and-forth, comparing notes on how their Quirks handled. It was comfortable, unforced—the kind of shop talk that happened between people who actually got it.
Somewhere in the middle, Cid's mind wandered, and the words slipped out. "You know, all this size stuff reminds me of those Power Rangers reruns I caught while lazing around when I was younger. The way the Zords morph and scale up—everything just fits together without wasting any mass."
Yui's hum turned thoughtful for a beat, then she paused, eyes widening just slightly in genuine surprise. "Hmm…? You watch Power Rangers?" The question came out softer than usual, like she hadn't expected that from him at all.
Cid shrugged, a lazy smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Yeah. Old reruns mostly. The shows are kinda cool with the whole mecha bit and the morphing."
Yui's surprise faded into a quiet, approving hum. "Yes. Morphing sequences. The way the parts align perfectly under pressure."
The conversation kept moving easily after that. Cid ended up mentioning a game he played destiny one going on a tangent on how it was such a good game until they ruined it with microtransactions and pay to win guns. Yui nodded along, agreeing saying it was a honestly great game, and saying the house of wolves dlc was a little lackluster. From there it jumped lightly to what music they liked and they both found they liked similar stuff like rock and heavy bass filled music. Yui's eyes stayed on him, calm but fully engaged, following every small tangent without hesitation.
The other girls at the table noticed almost immediately. Mina leaned toward Jiro with a whisper behind her hand, eyes wide. "Whoa… they're really getting into it." Toru's floating gloves clapped together once, silently delighted, the rest of the girls looked over quietly watching. But no one interrupted. The space between Cid and Yui felt like its own small bubble it ws surprisingly cute to see the most stoic and lazy in their classes getting along so well.
Cid didn't even register how much time had slipped by until the sharp, piercing wail of the alarm suddenly blared through the cafeteria speakers.
"SECURITY LEVEL 3 HAS BEEN BREACHED! ALL STUDENTS PLEASE EVACUATE IN AN ORDERLY FASHION!"
The room flipped from relaxed to chaotic in a heartbeat. Trays clattered onto tables. Chairs scraped back as students surged toward the exits, voices rising in a wave of overlapping shouts and questions. "Villains?" Mina yelped, jumping up from her seat. The girls' table got caught in the tide immediately.
Cid stood slowly, planing to walk lazily behind everyone, but the crowd pushed him forward along with the group. So he stuck close to the group, The exit near the windows had already bottlenecked hard, bodies pressing tighter with every second. Yui, who had been right beside him the whole time, got shoved hard and her back hit the glass pane with a soft thud. Then Cid got pushed as well straight into her before he could stop it.
They ended up chest to chest, her well-endowed figure pressed firmly against him through their uniforms. The softness was impossible to ignore. Yui's eyes widened slightly, a faint blush creeping across her cheeks. Cid's face heated up fast, hotter than it had any right to, and his visible eye widened for half a second before he forced it back to half-lidded. *Okay, this is….* His brain short-circuited just long enough for the warmth and curve of her body pressing against his, to register fully, a quick internal jolt of "ahhhhh panic" that he shoved down hard.
"S-Sorry," he muttered, voice low and awkward, arms already moving to brace himself.
Yui just gave a soft "Hmm…" Her blush deepened.
The crowd kept surging, pinning them harder against the window. Cid planted his arms on the glass on either side of her head unintentionally bringing their faces even closer, to the point they could feel the others breath, making them blush even more. Cids muscles strained as he pushed back against the crowd and managed to carve out a small pocket of space between him a yui. His heart thumped a far louder than he wanted to admit, the closeness suddenly feeling a lot more real than the casual lunch talk they'd been sharing moments ago. "Hold on," he said, voice steady despite the warmth still burning across his face.
A loud whistle pierced the air. Tenya Iida, engines roaring, had boosted himself onto a classmate's shoulders near the main exit, arms chopping the air like an overzealous traffic cop.
"EVERYONE, CALM DOWN! IT'S JUST THE MEDIA! THEY'VE BROKEN THROUGH THE GATES! THERE ARE NO VILLAINS! EVACUATE CALMLY!"
The panic slowed, then eased. Murmurs rippled through the crowd—"Reporters?" "Just paparazzi?"—as people started untangling themselves and filing out in a more orderly line. Cid stepped back as the pressure lifted, dropping his arms. He rubbed the back of his neck, avoiding Yui's gaze for a second longer than usual, the faint flush still lingering. "Uh… you okay?"
Yui straightened her uniform, the blush fading but not entirely gone. "Hmm… yes."
They rejoined the group without another word, the moment hanging quietly between them like an unspoken thread. Mina whispered to Toru behind a hand, eyes sparkling. "Did you see that? They were super close!" Toru giggled invisibly, gloves fluttering with excitement. Cid pretended not to hear her as they moved outside into the open air.
The "breach" turned out to be exactly what Iida had said—reporters swarming the gates for any scrap of All Might news. By the time the all-clear sounded and the cafeteria began emptying for real, the earlier chaos felt almost distant. Cid walked back toward the dorms with the others, the path lined with trees rustling in the afternoon breeze. His mind kept drifting, though—not to the false alarm, not to the training from yesterday, but to the quiet girl who sat next to him at lunch.
