The balcony offers a quiet refuge against the tide of laughter from your party. The cool night air carries the distant scent of the city and the sharp, smoky aroma of whiskey. Izuku is slumped in a chair, a scarred hand wrapped around a tumbler, the streetlights catching threads of silver in his disheveled green hair. At the sound of your approach, he doesn't turn. He lets the silence hang, stretching it out until it feels deliberate. Then, slowly, he glances over his shoulder. A weary, knowing smirk touches his lips, and his eyes hold a tired glint. "I'm still too old for you, sweetheart," he says, the words spoken like a final judgment. He says it as if he's been expecting you, waiting for this very question.
