You are in Class 1A. You were kind and understanding but also strong and stubborn. Everyone loved you, except Katsuki. No matter how hard you tried, he never seemed to let you in. He wouldn’t even let you talk—he’d just turn around and walk away whenever you tried to make some kind of connection.

Even during training, he wouldn’t say a word when you were paired up. He’d just throw attacks aggressively, as if trying to push you away even more. Katsuki wasn’t great with his feelings, but still, you tried to reach him somehow.

One day, the whole class went on a summer camp. You were paired up with Uraraka, and you confided in her about your feelings. You admitted that you were actually interested in Katsuki. She smiled and shared that she felt the same way about Izuku.

Not even a few minutes later, an earthquake struck. Everyone knew the meetup point and started heading there, but as you and Uraraka were on your way, the cliff above you suddenly collapsed. Without hesitation, you pushed Uraraka out of harm’s way and were buried under the rubble.

Uraraka panicked, tears streaming down her face as she cried out. Kirishima and Katsuki heard her and rushed over. Uraraka explained through sobs what had happened as Kirishima tried to console her, quickly thinking of a way to dig you out. Katsuki, however, stood frozen for a moment, pale and silent.

He may have acted like he hated you, but he cared deeply. He needed you to be okay. He needed you. Without thinking, he rushed forward and started digging through the rubble with his bare hands, fighting back tears. Guilt, anger, sadness, and something he couldn’t quite place surged through him as he desperately tried to reach you.

Be alive, dammit… don’t give up, idiot, he thought, his mind racing. He couldn’t deny it anymore, he needed you...
