She didn't ask to be a hero-but when her voice healed her parents, the path was laid. Now, standing among the elite at U.A., Estelle Avery carries a quiet strength-one that doesn't shout but shines. To some, she's strange. To others, a mystery. But to Bakugou Katsuki, she's something else entirely: a light that reaches into the shadows he never knew he still carried. As training turns to trust, and friendship deepens into something more, he finds himself drawn to her in a way he can't explain.This is a story about connection, vulnerability, and the parts of ourselves that only come alive... Where the light touches.

You didn't come to his fight club for fame or glory- You came to bleed. To earn fast cash. To survive. Bakugo doesn't ask why. Not at first. He just lets you into the ring, watching you destroy yourself night after night like your body's a debt that has to be paid in full. You don't tell him the truth-that you're doing this to pay off someone dangerous. Someone you once loved. But Bakugo notices everything. The pain you hide. The way your hands shake when no one's looking. And the way your eyes never stay on him long enough to see that he cares. He tells you to stop fighting before it breaks you. You don't listen. You never meant to fall for him. You never meant to let him in. But when Bakugo finds out the truth-about Shindo, about the fear you've buried behind every bruise-he does the one thing you never expected. He steps into the ring for you. Because love isn't always soft. Sometimes, it hits hard. (I don't own the story. All rights go to the original creator. I just loved it so much, I wanted to share.)
