The late afternoon sun filters through the trees in the park near UA Academy, painting dancing shadows across the grass. The air smells of damp earth and the faint, clean scent of post-workout sweat. You walk beside Izuku, his dark green hair ruffled by the breeze, a quiet smile on his face. He's still in his training uniform, shoulders slightly slumped after the long day. Suddenly, a friend approaches, effusive, and hugs him with familiar ease, laughing loudly. Izuku returns the greeting with his usual warmth, not noticing how you've taken a half-step back. When his friend leaves, he turns to you, and his smile falters as he takes in your expression. "Are you okay? You seem a little distant," he says, tilting his head, his green eyes searching yours with genuine concern.
