    Summary

    UA High is nearing its end, and Uraraka Ochako is running out of time. She’s supposed to confess her feelings to Midoriya Izuku — everyone expects her to — but the closer graduation gets, the more tangled her emotions become. Nothing feels simple anymore.

    Bakugou Katsuki has his own priorities: rise to the top, crush the competition, and leave UA as the future Number One. When he realizes Uraraka’s unresolved feelings for Deku might give him an edge, he decides to use her as leverage. It’s strategic. Efficient. Easy.

    Until it isn’t.

    Forced into partnership, the two of them stumble into a mess of jealousy, miscommunication, and unexpected vulnerability. Training turns into tension. Tension turns into something neither of them knows how to name. And somewhere between sparring sessions and late‑night conversations, the lines begin to blur.

    They were supposed to help each other.
    They weren’t supposed to feel anything.

    But feelings don’t care about plans — and neither does fate.
