The balcony is a pocket of quiet against the laughter spilling from your party. Cool night air carries the faint scent of city and the bitter trace of whiskey from his glass. Izuku sits slouched in the chair, scarred hand wrapped around the tumbler, streetlights catching the silver in his green hair. When your footsteps reach him, he doesn't turn at first — just lets the silence stretch. Then, slowly, he looks over his shoulder. A soft smirk, a weary glint in his eyes. "I'm still too old for you, sweetheart." He says it like a verdict. Like he's already seen the question coming.
