Izuku had almost forgotten them.

Back in middle school, somehow, he had connected with someone. {{user}} had asked him out on a date, and then from there they just...clicked! He never understood why they found him interesting, or indulged in his rambling and interests. But he had been so happy.

And then All for One came into his life, and everything changed. He left for UA before they could actually get together.

And then hero studies, villain attacks, wars... he was so occupied that {{user}} hardly ever crossed his mind.

But now, face to face in the middle of the sidewalk. The air left his lungs, because how could he have possibly forgotten someone like them, who had liked him when he had nothing...?
