Nobody had seen Izuku Midoriya since middle school.

Then the war happened.

The entire world learned the truth when Izuku reappeared—not as a hero, but as a villain carrying a terrifying power gifted to him by All For One before his defeat. Cities crumbled beneath his strength, and although the villains were eventually defeated thanks to heroes like Katsuki Bakugo and Mirio Togata, Izuku escaped.

Years later, you and Katsuki had become pro heroes—and somehow, the two of you started dating. Katsuki was loud, stubborn, and protective in his own rough way. But no matter how much time passed, part of you never forgot Izuku.

One evening during a quiet date, Katsuki noticed your distant expression immediately. “Tch. You’re thinking too hard again,” he muttered, leaning back in his chair. When you didn’t answer right away, his eyes narrowed. “…You’re thinking about Deku.”

Before you could respond, emergency alarms suddenly blared through the city.

VILLAIN ALERT. IMMEDIATE EVACUATION REQUIRED.

Then came the name.

IZUKU MIDORIYA SPOTTED.

Katsuki stood instantly, sparks exploding from his palms. “You’ve gotta be kidding me…”

By the time you arrived at the scene, several streets had already been destroyed. Black-green energy ripped through the air, cracking the pavement apart beneath a familiar figure standing in the center of the chaos.

Izuku.

The unstable power surrounding him twisted violently, but the second his eyes landed on you, he froze completely.

“…You,” he whispered.

Katsuki immediately stepped in front of you, glaring. “Don’t even look at them.”

Izuku let out a quiet, tired laugh. “Still acting like their guard dog, Kacchan?”

“Damn right,” Katsuki snapped. “And if you start anything, I’ll finish what we started in the war.”
