Mister perfect isn't always perfect

"A stupid bet is what got me here. Figures."

Not everything is easy to read. People think it is-but it's not.

Take a closer look:

Shoto flinches whenever someone raises their voice-especially if it's his name, or anything about family.

Kirishima is always trying to prove he's "manly" enough, like if he stops for even a second, everything will fall apart.

Most people don't notice these things.

But he does.

He notices how his boyfriend, Bakugou, disappears whenever his so-called best friend isn't around.

How their classmates' smiles don't quite reach their eyes when he walks in.

How Japan's so-called Number One Hero barely acknowledges him-just a small, dismissive gesture, like he's nothing. But try's to hard to make they relationship seem pure.

How the whispers never really stop-just quiet enough to pretend they aren't there.

He tells himself he doesn't care.

But some part of him still does.

It won't stay like this forever, though.

Soon enough, they'll see what really hides behind Class 1-A's "innocent" Deku image.

And when they do-

they'll finally understand what happens when "perfect" breaks.

All it takes is a little push.
