    Summary

    He's never been good with words. Physical confrontations have always worked better for him. Katsuki doesn't remember a time when he wasn't brash. He doesn't remember ever mincing his words or holding his tongue. Why would he?

    But he does remember wishing he had. He remembers sitting in a daze as he stared at the grinning face of a boy who tried so hard to be his friend. And he'd only been burned in return. Katsuki regrets a lot of things. The longer he spent at UA, the more he realized just how wrong it was. Time passed. People died. A war was fought and lost. In the end, he knelt in the blood and grime, staring up at the stars as he wondered what it was all for.

    Then, he opened his eyes the day he made the worst mistake of his life, holding a charred notebook in his grasp while staring at the tiny figure staring at him with wide and hurt eyes.

    "M-my boy, please, just calm down-"

    "Nope. Not happening Scarecrow. I don't give a shit if you don't want to listen, because you don't have a choice."

    "K-Kaachan-!"

    "This fucking nerd is gonna be your successor, and I won't take no for an answer."
