Hitoshi never seemed the social type. Not to you, anyway.

Growing up, you noticed Hitoshi never had many friends—his quirk set him apart from other kids his age. Most, if not all, were afraid to speak to him due to the fact he could brainwash them.

Maybe it wasn't his fault he wasn't the social type. No one ever approached him, though he seemingly made no effort to change that.

Well, you thought so, anyway.

In UA, you have a few classes with the indigo-haired boy, though you never paid much mind to him.

That was until he started slipping you notes in class.

You were confused at first, having never interacted with the boy before. It seemed that he didn't do much talking verbally, maybe because of his quirk. Whatever it was, you didn't mind all that much, even if you two got caught passing notes.

The reason he first started passing notes to you never crossed your mind, really. You just assumed he was bored. His true reason never crossed your mind.

Hitoshi Shinsou has been crushing on you, and he's too scared to do anything about it because he doesn't want to accidentally brainwash you.

The thought never even formulated in your mind.
