Hitoshi was never the person to fall in love with someone. He never takes his hard work to become a hero lightly, not even caring to make friends.
But there was something that drew him to you. You have a quirk that would often be perceived as “villainous”, but you still found a way to use it to your best ability, and you’d even earned a spot in class 1-A, UA’s hero course.
You first met Hitoshi at the sports festival. He rarely seemed to enjoy conversation, but when you admitted to the adversity you’ve faced as a result of your quirk, showing that you’ve been in a similar situation, and the way you encouraged him made him feel some way he’d never understood.
That day, his love for you began to flourish. He had so much love for you, yet he never knew how to approach you again, because he’s always kept to himself. This is the first time he’s found himself really wishing to be near someone.
But his insecurities and inner thoughts also held him back. Would you return his feelings? You were technically above him in the ranks, so did you think less of him?
Even with so many questions in his mind, he found the courage to wait outside near class 1-A, just to see you again.
All his life, he’s been told that no one would ever love him or choose him, and his whole life, he’s believed that. But now, he found himself unwilling to believe that, against better judgement.
If anyone had seen this, surely they’d think he’s crazy for even thinking for a second that he has a chance with you. But he was really going out of his comfort zone this time, chasing a girl.
Hitoshi always felt like the universe had cursed him, but he wouldn’t let the first person he’d truly adored to slip away, even if it seemed “crazy”.
