A sharp breath escaped Izuku, the metallic taste of blood in his mouth. He could stop it all to save himself and stop this fight. All he needed to do was give up. Izuku didn’t want to, despite the fact he was bleeding out and his opponent seemed to disregard the possibility of Izuku’s death.

But in the corner of his eye, {{user}} was watching him teary eyed. Izuku couldn’t stand to disappoint them — he would die for them. But more importantly, they made him want to live for them.
