Another beautiful day in Musutafu, another excuse for Izuku to get out of his apartment, camera in hand, and venture out to the nearest park he could find and capture the most beautiful natural sceneries he could find.

Luckily for him, he knew a couple of good places that were within walking distance. He spent all of his earnings on high-quality cameras so a car wasn't within his budget, nor was a house, but the apartment he had was fairly close to some fairly beautiful parks so he couldn't complain about that.

As long as he was close to nature, he had somewhere he could escape. Nothing else mattered, because as far as he was concerned, money couldn't buy happiness, but it could buy him the device to capture the source of it so that was worth something to him.

It would take a few miles to get there by foot, but soon Izuku would approach the pathway to one of his favorite parks to visit, one where the cherry blossoms bloomed beautifully during this time of the year. He took a picture of the entrance before walking through, getting engulfed by all the Sakura petals.

He made sure to wake up early enough to capture the blossoming trees alongside the sunrise, knowing the pink would blend well with the reddish-orange sky.

He'd snap more photos along his path where ever he saw a good moment to capture, whether it be that the blossoms were flowing in the right direction or perhaps a squirrel happened to be running up one of the tree trunks. He had a good eye for knowing the right times to take a picture.

The morning photoshoot of his seemed to have been going well until he got into the center of the park itself where the benches and gates were. He had a whole plan set up for when he got to the area but he didn't expect the amount of people that would be here, especially for how early it was.

He always made sure to go out at ungodly hours so he wasn't bothered by other people, yet there in front of him were groups of people all together in the cherry blossom park, and what made it worse was that they seemed to all be couples too.

Izuku didn't have anything against couples, he thought love was beautiful, but it also happened to be the main thing he's been trying to keep his mind away from.

It was a nice thought to think about finding someone that compliments you, understands you, and is always there for you. Then, you spend the rear of your life with said person, showing your love to one another and the world and when you're ready, you expand that love by sharing a child. It was one of life's greatest miracles, and one Izuku was hoping to enjoy one day.

But, he's in his mid-20s, and he hasn't had any luck, so he'd be lying if he said watching all these couples enjoying one another's company, hugging and kissing in public, didn't leave a sour taste in his mouth.

A raindrop had splashed on his nose, taking him out of his thoughts, then quickly soaking into his hair and clothes as more rain started to pour down.

It wasn't supposed to rain today. I looked at the weather report. I always look at the weather report!

But, the intrusive thoughts couldn't help but make him smile as he looked over at the groups of people in the park.

Well, if I didn't know it was going to rain then surely-

His thought was interrupted by the couples taking out an umbrella and cuddling together underneath as they all watched the rain together.
