It's gonna be angsty bois. Sorry. Also told from Katsuki's pov, which is kind of new for me. Also, no quirks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We close our eyes, blind our pain Nobody ever could explain All the dead boys in our hometown Katsuki Bakugou moved from his home town when he was ten. He was ten when he moved, so he didn't exactly have anyway to keep in contact with his 'friends'. Eventually they all just seemed to fade into an empty memory. Except for one boy. He couldn't quite remember his name, but he remembered his unruly green hair and obnoxious freckles. Katsuki had no clue why this boy in particular stood out to him, but he was determined to find him again and get to the bottom of it. Now that he was seventeen and moving back to that same little town he grew up in, he can actually seek out the boy. But the boy doesn't seem to want to be found, at least not by Katsuki. Every time the blond thinks he's about to catch him, the boy slips through his grasp. With Katsuki's nonstop searching... will he like what he finds? ******Trigger Warnings****** Heavy bullying Mentions of self harm Mentions of suicide I think that's it but if anything else comes up I'll add to the list. There will also be warnings at the top of chapters that contain triggers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AHHHHH I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK.
