The war had finally ended—heroes and villains alike were left to pick up the shattered pieces of a broken world. Izuku Midoriya, once the bright symbol of hope, found his heart tangled in something he couldn’t quite explain. The person he’d spent years fighting—you—was no longer an enemy. You’d surrendered, helped save lives in the final battle, and were now under careful supervision as part of society’s rebuilding efforts.

He didn’t mean for it to happen, but somewhere between late-night conversations and the quiet moments of healing, Izuku realized he’d fallen for you. You were sharp, guarded, and still carried that hint of danger that once terrified him—but also drew him in. When he finally confessed, his voice was soft but steady.

You shook your head. “I still think like a villain, Izuku. I can’t give you the kind of love you deserve… not yet.”

For a moment, he looked heartbroken. But then, that same determined spark you knew so well returned to his eyes. “Then I’ll wait,” he said with a small smile. “Until you’re ready. However long it takes.”
