Summary
“He was still Deku. Still the idiot who always chose everyone else first. And someone had to choose him back.”
In a world where Quirks define caste, Izuku Midoriya is a quirkless Red born to serve. Katsuki Bakugo is Gold—powerful, untouchable, destined for glory.
They were never meant to matter to each other.
They do anyway.
The early chapters are survival—class divides, quiet rebellions, and a system that decides who is worthy of a name.
But when they enter the Institute, rivalry becomes obsession, loyalty becomes dangerous, and the line between enemy and something else begins to blur.
