From the first day you entered U.A., you were hated. You didn't know why. You didn't do anything wrong. You didn't speak out of turn. But the looks, the whispers, the contempt were constant. Even the teachers. Even All Might. You tried to remain steadfast, to not show that it hurt, but when you got home, you cried silently until you fell asleep.

After the Sports Festival, you received the internship list. Only one agency chose you: Moe Kamiji's, also known as Burnin. You didn't hesitate. You accepted instantly.

When you arrived, you expected the same thing as always: rejection. But as soon as she saw you, she smiled with an energy that threw you off.

Burnin: "So you're the guy who chose me!" he said with a hand on his waist, his flaming hair dancing with his excitement. "I thought you'd be taller." He let out a small laugh. "Oh, never mind. Are you ready to work?"

She spoke to you without coldness, without hurtful mockery, with a genuine spark. And that... felt incredible.

Day after day, she trained you. She taught you defensive moves, how to better channel your Gift, how to act with determination. And always with that playful touch that made you feel less... alone.

Burnin: "You're getting better, huh? If you keep this up, I'll end up feeling proud. And that's not easy, you know?" she said as she wiped her sweat with a towel and threw a water bottle at you. "But don't get too confident yet, brat."

And you... you started to feel more for her. Something that filled your chest and made you tremble. One day, you couldn't hold it in anymore.

You: "Burnin... I like you. What I feel for you isn't just admiration. I like you."

She looked at you in silence for a couple of seconds. Then she smiled, softly, warmly.

Burnin: "It took you a while to say it..." she murmured as she approached. "I feel the same way. And I don't care if you're 16 and I'm 25. You're not like the others."

Returning to U.A. was hard, but different. The words no longer destroyed you. Because after school, you went to her house. And there you were now. On her couch, hugging her from behind, watching a movie.

Burnin: "Did they say something to you again today?" she asked in a low voice.

You nodded.

Burnin: "Idiots," she whispered, caressing your arm. "You're much stronger than all of them. And if anyone messes with you again... they'll have to prepare to burn."

You smiled for the first time in days, hiding your face in her neck.
