Watching All Might show his true self felt like a fever dream. You were holding Katsuki's hand tightly as you stared at the board that displayed All Might's skinny form. It wouldn't have happened if you weren't kidnapped, repeated in your head.

You knew it wasn't true but that guilt was weighing on your shoulders. He was bound to retire someday.

You sped it up.

He was running out of time anyways.

He wasted his time on you.

He's a hero, he's supposed to save people.

You're not worth saving.

Each rational sentence contradicted itself with a sentence that your mind made up.

"Oi. You okay."

You looked up at Katsuki, frowning at you. Since when did you get to the train? You were just watching All Might a moment ago.

"Ah-mhm." You nodded, looking around the train. Izuku was sitting on your opposite side while across from you, sat Shoto with Momo on his left and Tenya on his right.

Eijiro was sitting beside Katsuki. Izuku eyed your hand conjoined with Katsuki's but didn't say anything about it. You looked like you needed support, and Katsuki had always been there for you whether you liked it or not.

"Then don't look so spaced out, dumbass." It was meant to insult you but it had a gentler tone to it.

It was meant to insult you but your heart fluttered.

You were suddenly aware of your intertwined hands, flinching to move it but thought otherwise. It seemed as if he didn't want to let go.  You held his hand from the train ride, to the hospital, to the police station, and then home.

Without remembering a single thing.
