Day Two: Enemies to lovers

[A future UA students POV]

We were learning more about the world disaster that occurred 10 years ago, killing the top two heroes. Dynamite and Deku. They were oddly close, yet everyone was oblivious to it. I find out various battles they've fought, unsurprisingly doing it all together. Ever since they'd attended UA, everything they did was together, world missions, they always ended up together. People assumed it was just because they're the top two, but I knew there was something more to that.

I read into some news articles, reporting the incident that happened 10 years ago. A villain was able to send a massive asteroid to Japan. Killing almost everyone in its reach. But the plan behind it was to get rid of the top three heroes, to build a new world with them being the strongest, only to end up backfiring for the villain. He had succeeded by killing Dynamite and Deku, as well as the upcoming third pro hero, but in the process, killing himself too. It was obvious his hunger for power succeeded his desire of his own safety, making him act impulsively without a second thought.

Ten years ago, was when Dynamite and Deku died in each-other's arms. Videos speculating at the time, causing controversy, but subsided after the grief settled in. The world had changed since then, villains were more open to their disastrous ideas, and hero's were full of fear. Quite the contrary to what was felt before hand, before they died.

After a long night of reading and watching documentary's, I find the museum that held their belongings. If I was going to figure out more about this, I needed to start there. The next day, I put my hero suit on and head to the museum, knocking on the door.

A nicely dressed woman greets me, and after I explain my curiosity, she decides to let me in. I walk around the museum, inspecting all I can, since I had a time limit. I glance around, my gaze falling upon a folder. One that looked old, like it hadn't been opened. I reach out and grab it, opening it, finding all sorts of photos of them being together, not just as friends or hero's though. As a couple.

My eyes widen as I flick through the photos, then I look more into the folder and see a diary. I subconsciously grab it out and open it. Revealing the first paragraph of the diary, written by Katsuki himself.

It read:

"Izuku, sometimes I wonder how we really are together. From our childhood, to middle school, even to some of the time we spent at UA, I always looked down on you. I thought since you were quirkless, you were easier to overpower. I had thought of you as useless, yet it always seemed like I was behind you. I hated that, I hoped you'd disappear. But then UA came, and you got a quirk. You just kept getting stronger, and I felt inferior to you. Like I could never catch up, like you were finally stronger.

I'd never admit this to your face, but when I'm in battle, sometimes I fight like you. I take the time to think about things, and act rationally, just like you do. Sometimes I steal glances at you, and I get this weird feeling, not because you're a friend, but because I secretly want more than that. It's stupid, I know, but I just can't help it. I don't know what it is, but my hatred for you subsided into affection. And I don't know what to do."

I close the diary, my eyes widening. This is exactly what I needed to prove my point. But before I could leave with it, I sigh and put it back, not wanting to invade the personal life of heroes who were once the greatest.
