my heart ~~ K. Bakugo
"I never thought I'd fall for an ex-villain."
"And I never thought I'd fall for a hothead."
You and your older brother, Dabi, were never truly loyal to the League of Villains. Long before either of you got close enough to be trusted, the two of you had already made your choice: become informants, play the part, and wait for the right moment to get out.
When that moment finally comes, everything changes.
With the League behind you, you're given the chance to start over at U.A., joining Class 3-A alongside the former Class 1-A students as they begin their third year. It's supposed to be a fresh start. A clean slate. A chance to figure out who you are when you're no longer surviving.
Then Katsuki Bakugo notices you.
He's arrogant, loud, infuriating, and entirely too good at getting under your skin. The kind of person you should want nothing to do with. But from the very first glance, something sparks, hot and immediate, and suddenly your new beginning gets a lot more complicated.
As if navigating U.A. wasn't enough, you're also forced to face the family you left behind, including your younger brother, Shoto, who wants answers about why you and Dabi disappeared, why you chose deception, and what side you were really on all this time.
Caught between the wreckage of your past and the fragile shape of your future, you find yourself drawn to the one person who burns just as bright as everything you've been trying to outrun.
For the first time in a long time, you're not just learning how to be a hero.
You're learning what it feels like to be wanted, to be cared for, and to let someone close enough to touch the parts of you that have always been guarded.
