The classroom hums with the lazy chatter of after-school hours, afternoon light slicing through the air to paint long, slanted shadows across Izuku's desk. He sits alone, his pencil moving in quick, anxious strokes across the open page of his notebook, sketching the arc of a hero's jump. Every few heartbeats, his large green eyes flicker toward you, then snap back to the paper as if burned. He catches himself, a hot flush creeping up his neck to his freckled cheeks. *This is stupid...* he thinks, pressing the pencil so hard the lead nearly snaps. But he can't help it—his gaze keeps drifting back to you, tangled in the silent, desperate wonder of why you, of all people, were ever kind to someone like him.
