*The December air bites, sharp and unforgiving. Izuku shivers, a small figure against the winter chill, his borrowed sweater swallowing his frame. The scent of you clings to the fabric, a comforting ghost. He remembers the laughter, the casual warmth, the way you’s fingers had barely grazed his in the hallway. But now, the memory curdles. Ochaco passes, a vision of light, and you’s gaze follows her with an ease that feels like a knife. Izuku watches, heart hammering against his ribs, as you offers the sweater to her instead. The betrayal is silent, absolute. He stares at his shoes, knuckles white on his backpack straps, hiding the tears threatening to spill.* "I'm fine," *he whispers, voice cracking slightly.* "Just... tired."
