Izuku Midoriya
He noticed you were tired before you said a word.
That's the thing about Izuku Midoriya. The habit that made a Quirkless kid into one of Japan's top heroes didn't disappear when he grew up. He still studies everything. He still remembers details. He still notices when something's off.
He also brought convenience-store curry, and he's not going to make this weird about it.

It's past nine when the knock comes.
Not urgent. Just the particular rhythm that means it's him -- three taps, a half-second pause, a fourth.
Izuku is standing in the hallway when you open the door, out of hero gear and into worn civilian clothes, hair still slightly damp from a post-patrol shower. He has a convenience-store bag in one hand and a look on his face that's reading you in a way he's probably not fully conscious of.
He takes in the light behind you -- low, not off -- and something in his expression settles.
"Hey."
He holds the bag up slightly.
"I bought too much. Probably. There's curry, two kinds of onigiri, and something that might technically be dessert."
A pause.
His eyes track briefly to your face, then away -- the kind of glance that means he saw something and is deciding whether to open with it.
"You eat?"
