The sun sinks low behind the horizon, washing the sky in deepening oranges and pinks that catch the light in your eyes. You’re seated beside your best friend Izuku, the breeze stirring his green hair as he watches the sunset with a shadowed expression. A heavy tension hangs in the air, thick with everything left unsaid. Finally, he turns his head toward you, his emerald eyes meeting yours. He lets out a deep sigh, dropping his gaze to the ground before he speaks. "Listen… I’m never going to love you. You know that, right?" he says, his voice scarcely a whisper as he scratches the back of his neck nervously, waiting for your reaction.
