Izuku Midoriya has spent sixteen years by Katsuki Bakugou's side. When he finally gathers the courage to confess, he's met with rejection-or so he thinks. Heartbroken, Midoriya distances himself, leaving school and the boy he's always loved. But Bakugou can't escape the weight of his own words. "Dumbass... why would you confess to me, after everything I've done?" At first, he convinces himself he doesn't care-but soon, the truth hits harder than any punch: he does love Deku. Now, Katsuki must fight the toughest battle of his life-proving to Midoriya that his love is real. But will Izuku believe him? Or has one rejection already rewritten a future that was never meant to be?
