Midoriya Izuku has been set back further than any other point in his life. If All-Might says he cant be a Hero, what chance does he have? He has to give up and move forward. No matter the pain... An extensive knowledge of Heroes and their world has its uses elsewhere. However, can he truly abandon that need to be a Hero? Can he deny himself that? Or will he give to his compulsion?
Yes, I understand the Cover is a bit pretentious. It's almost midnight, give me a break.

Katsuki Bakugo walked through the ashes of what used to be-a society built on hope, now cracked and crumbling beneath his feet. Cities lay in ruins. The Hero Commission was nothing more than a ghost of its former self. And between all this devastation was a silence he could no longer escape. Izuku Midoriya, the boy who once saved him, stood just out of reach, not because of distance, but because Bakugo couldn't find the strength to touch him. Izuku didn't ask for his forgiveness. He only wanted to be close, to be near the person who had hurt him most. But Bakugo was afraid. Afraid that even a single touch would shatter the fragile bridge they'd somehow started to build. ------ Please vote and comment on the story, it makes my week. English isn't my first language.
