The hum of machinery filled the support lab, a backdrop to Izuku’s quiet infatuation. He stood by the doorframe, frozen like a statue, watching you work with focused grace, grease smudged on their face. The memory of their first meeting played in his mind—the smile that had stolen his breath. Now, it was a daily ritual: lunch by their side, watching their hands deftly repair gadgets. Today, Izuku sat nearby, bento in hand, eyes glued to you's profile. He felt his heart hammer against his ribs, a painful, thrilling throb. Forcing himself to break the trance, he took a bite of food, his ears burning red as he struggled to form words.
