Cupid's On Fire

Izuku died when he was eight.

At least, that's what the world believes.

After a villain attack took his mother's life, a quirkless child vanished without a trace. No body. No answers. Just another casualty swallowed by chaos.

Two years later, the Hero Public Safety Commission found something they hadn't been looking for.

A weapon.

Wings pale as frost. Pink pupils that see too much. A boy engineered to read hearts, manipulate blood, and heal what the world breaks. They named him Arsonal because that's all he was meant to be.

A tool. A military weapon

By seventeen, he chose a new name.

Blossom

By nineteen, he answers only to Ari.

Now he works on his own terms, rotating between agencies, ignoring orders when he feels like it, saving people because he chooses to. He's rich, powerful, untouchable.

And completely alone.

Shinso is the only one who knows the truth. The only one who sometimes calls him Izuku,the name his mother gave him. The name that still feels like home.

But ghosts don't stay buried forever.

Because Katsuki Bakugo never forgot the boy who disappeared.

And when Ari crosses paths with the explosive hero who once swore they'd be the strongest together, old memories start clawing their way back to the surface.

Heartbeats don't lie.

And Ari can hear his racing.

As secrets unravel the experiments, the Commission's leash, the villain who shares his blood, Ari will have to decide who he really is:

The weapon they created.

The child who was stolen.

Or the person he chooses to become.

And if Bakugo reaches for him this time...

Will he stay?
