Author's note

Midoriya Izuku never said a thing about Bakugo Katsuki's bullying. It was growing inside him, and eventually, it exploded. Bakugo's attitude towards Midoriya changed, for the worst and maybe for the best.

"I wanted to know and I wanted to feel, but that was not my decision to make. I would wait patiently for him, even if he'd take eternity."

"My heart melted a bit, from a feeling I had long forgotten. It felt like light sparks in my stomach, but not like the one I make out of anger with my quirk. It felt like tingles from my mum when I was young. It felt like a light breeze, in the middle of a hot summer. It felt like happiness, and maybe a bit like love."
