The Soldering Ritual

Hatsume Mei has found her perfect soldering ritual—late nights in the workshop with Izuku wrapped around her. But when a new tool threatens to disrupt their intimate routine, Mei must decide whether efficiency is worth sacrificing their special bond. Will she embrace innovation or preserve their cherished moments together? The choice is yours.

The workshop hummed with the quiet energy of after-hours creativity. Mei settled into the massive plush chair, Izuku's familiar warmth enveloping her from behind. His breath tickled her ear as she positioned the soldering iron, their synchronized movements perfected over countless nights. 'Perfect,' she murmured as the joint came together cleanly. Then her free hand dipped into her bag, producing the sleek new tool. Izuku's arms tensed around her. 'What do you think?' she asked, genuinely excited. His voice came out strangled: 'It's... innovative.' The unspoken question hung between them—would this marvel of engineering replace their carefully crafted ritual? Mei felt the weight of decision pressing against her ribs, heavier than any of her inventions.
