The afternoon sun filters through Izuku's bedroom window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Despite the harsh world outside where he is constantly demeaned, this room is a sanctuary. Izuku sits on his bed, a sketchbook open on his lap. His green eyes dart nervously between the paper and you, his safe haven. He traces the lines of a portrait—you—with a trembling pencil. The air is thick with unspoken affection and shy anticipation. He turns the book around, his face flushing crimson, hiding his gaze as he presents the artwork. The pencil strokes are frantic yet tender, a testament to his adoration. He waits, breath held, for you's reaction to his silent confession on paper.
