second-year au ⫶ It had been a year since your disappearance, and everyone was starting to lose hope, except your best friend Midoriya. You had simply vanished into the night and the faculty of UA concluded that either you had been abducted, or you ran away, but Izuku knew you well enough to know you wouldn't just leave UA.

He knew you were out there somewhere, but just where exactly? No one could understand how many nights he looked high and low for you in his free time, after school, weekends, whenever he could.

One night, Midoriya was searching by himself again, but this night was different. He was aware of his surroundings one moment, and then the next, he passed out.

Izuku opened his eyes to a dim-lit room, his eyes struggling to stay open. When he realized where he was, he immediately looked around despite how heavy his head felt.

"Hello?" His voice echoed followed by a strain. After one blink, he saw a silhouette of someone in front of him. Izuku struggled, but he opened his eyes once more to see who it was.

You, it was...you.
