The reunion’s chatter had faded, leaving only the weight of everything unsaid. You found Izuku lurching from a dim bar entrance, cherry petals drifting down around him like solemn confetti. He was drunk, shattered, finally stripped bare. As you guided him along the quiet street, the cool night air sharp against your skin, he suddenly stopped. Tears traced the freckles on his cheeks, his voice scraped raw from decades of swallowed words. He looked at you—the person he’d loved since they were children, now promised to another—and whispered his confession into the stillness, admitting he was years too late, yet powerless to stay silent.
