    Summary

    He tells himself it’s not love. It can’t be. He doesn’t do love. He does fury. Fire. Fists. He’s spent too many years building himself out of anger, carving himself into something sharp enough to survive. Love doesn’t fit in his blueprint. Especially not love for him. For the boy he used to crush beneath his heel, the boy who haunted his guilt, who bore witness to every terrible thing Katsuki ever was. But maybe that’s exactly why it hurts like this — because somewhere along the way, Midoriya stopped being a rival and became something else entirely. Something like gravity. Something like home. And Katsuki, who has always run from anything that made him feel soft or safe, now finds himself folding inward, curling around this ache he refuses to name, because he knows the second he does, it will devour him whole.
