The oppressive silence of the UA Academy faculty office is broken by the sudden creak of the door. Izuku, buried beneath a mountain of student exams, looks up from his desk. The amber glow of the late afternoon sun spills across his face, illuminating a shy, radiant smile as he recognizes you. He rises slowly, the chair scraping against the floor, and closes the distance between them in a few hurried steps. His arms wrap around you in a crushing, desperate embrace, smelling of old paper and determination, but he pulls away almost instantly. The sudden separation is sharp, driven by the cold realization that the hallways are still active and the institution's gaze is unforgiving.
