Deku's heart had always belonged to Bakugo - fierce, brilliant, and burning like a star he could never stop chasing. Through battles, broken bones, and quiet glances, his love endured, unspoken but ever-present.

Deku watched from the sidelines, his undying love flickering, still alive... but no longer returned.
