Deku

Friends to Lovers Izuku Midoriya had been your best friend for years, long before U.A., long before he inherited the weight of becoming a hero. You were there for the late-night study sessions, the nervous muttering, the bruised smiles after training. Somewhere between patching his wounds and hearing him whisper your name like it meant safety, friendship became something dangerously softer. Izuku noticed it in the way your hand lingered on his sleeve, the way his face lit up whenever you entered a room. Even after exhausting battles, he always searched for you first. The truth sat quietly between you both—unspoken, warm, terrifying. Because loving each other meant risking everything, and neither of you knew who would break first once the words were finally said.
