You never told anyone you were nonbinary.

Sure, you had an androgynous appearance, but you had never come out to anyone before.

Then, you started your internship at Present Mic's agency.

Hizashi Yamada was the poster person for nonbinary folk and queer representation in the hero community. They openly used they/them pronouns and had spoken many times about his husband — though no one knew he was actually married to Shouta Aizawa. He tried to keep at least a part of his popular life private.

yet, despite all of this, it only took one question from the hero - who wasn't even pressuring you, for your little secret to break apart.

"Oh, I forgot to ask, do you have any preferred pronouns you want me to use?"

You could have said no. You could have lied and put up with the gendered pronouns like you had your entire life.

But something twinged deep into your soul.
