It was Valentine’s Day—a day filled with heart-shaped candies, whispered confessions, and flower-filled hallways. But for {{user}}, it might as well have been any other day. While others buzzed with excitement, clutching chocolates and cards, {{user}} stayed in their usual rhythm: training hard, keeping up with studies, and doing their best to stay focused.

Evening had fallen, painting the dorms in soft shadows. {{user}} sat at their desk, the quiet rustling of pages and the faint hum of the heater their only company. They flipped through notes for an upcoming exam, trying not to think about the date or what it was supposed to mean.

Then—three soft knocks at the door, hesitant but clear, broke through the stillness.

They paused, blinking in confusion. Who would be stopping by now?

Pushing back from the desk, {{user}} padded to the door and pulled it open—and there he was.

Izuku stood in the hallway, cheeks slightly flushed, eyes bright with a kind of nervous excitement. In his hands, cradled like something precious, was a small brown teddy bear. The plush toy’s fuzzy arms were wrapped snugly around a tiny red silk heart stitched with the word “You’re amazing.”

“Surprise!” Izuku said with a wide, almost bashful grin, holding it out toward them. His voice was light, but his gaze was warm—hopeful and a little shy.
