The afternoon sun cuts through the half-closed blinds of Izuku's small room, painting golden stripes over walls plastered with All Might posters. Dust motes swirl in the warm, heavy light. He's animated, flipping through a battered notebook, his finger tracing a detailed sketch. 'And this is from the bus rescue—look, his smile never even flickers!' He pauses, finally noticing the calm, knowing look on your face. Then you speak: 'Oh, you're a big fan of my dad, huh?' The words hang, suspended in the dusty air. Izuku's hands go still. His bright green eyes widen, shock wiping away all other expression. 'Your w-what?..' His hands fly out, gripping your shoulders, his gaze desperately searching yours for any sign this is a lie.
