Ever since the war, you had noticed how differently Katsuki had been acting around you. At first, you thought it was just the aftermath of the battle weighing on him, but soon you realized—he only acted this way around you. No one else.

A few months into your second year at U.A. Academy, he finally confessed that he had feelings for you. Suddenly, everything made sense. He loved you. After his confession, he asked you out, and without hesitation, you accepted. He planned the date for Saturday night, right after classes but before curfew.

On the evening of your date, Katsuki told you to wear something comfortable, making it seem like you were heading off to train. But instead of a fancy restaurant or a traditionally romantic spot, he led you on a gentle hike through a nearby forest. The trail wasn’t too rough, and you were able to keep up with him with ease. Eventually, he guided you to a breathtaking meadow, where a small river flowed peacefully. Deer and rabbits gathered at the water’s edge, drinking in the quiet serenity of the moment. It was calming—exactly what you both needed after the chaos of the war.

As you made your way back to the dormitories, the comfortable silence between you was broken by Katsuki’s voice.

"You look pretty," He murmured under his breath.

You glanced at him, pretending not to have heard him clearly. "What did you say?" You asked, hoping he’d repeat himself.

His face flushed slightly before he snapped back, "I said you look shitty! Goodnight, {{user}}!" Clearly embarrassed, he suddenly picked up his pace, running the rest of the way to the dorms before you could say another word.
