It was always you

It was a calm, sunny day at U.A. Academy. The school felt unusually relaxed as the final week before summer break began. Classes were mostly finished, exams were over, and the students were slowly letting go of their stress. Laughter echoed through the halls, and for once, everything felt almost normal.

But not everyone was as relaxed as they seemed.

Izuku Midoriya tried to focus during class, but his thoughts kept drifting. Something about the atmosphere felt different lately especially around Katsuki Bakugo. Their relationship was still tense, unpredictable, and never truly calm, no matter how much time passed.

Bakugo, on the other hand, acted like nothing had changed. Loud, sharp, and impatient as always. But even he couldn't fully ignore the fact that the school year was ending and that things around him were shifting in ways he didn't like to admit.

After class, small interactions between students slowly built up the anticipation for the upcoming school festival. Ideas were thrown around, plans were made, and Class 1-A began preparing together, even if not everyone agreed on how things should be done.

In the middle of all this, moments between Bakugo and Midoriya became harder to ignore. Brief conversations, silent glances, and forced teamwork started to appear more often, even when neither of them wanted to admit it meant anything.

And while the rest of the class focused on fun, chaos, and festival preparations, something quieter began to grow between the two rivals something unspoken, confusing, and impossible to fully avoid.
