    Summary

    For Izuku Midoriya , the world is a place that hurts. He suffers from Haphephobia - a rare fear of touch that makes every handshake or accidental brush against each other in the school hallway feel like an electric shock.Izuku has learned to be invisible, a shadow in his own home, while his sister Aoru shines like the sun.

    Bakugou Katsuki is the embodiment of everything Izuku is not. He is popular, successful, and is Aoirini's perfect boyfriend. But beneath the mask of the golden boy lies a hunger that no amount of applause or Aorin's smile can satisfy.

    Everything changes one night at the open window when Katsuki offers Izuku his hand. Then Izuku feels something impossible: a touch that doesn't burn.

    For Katsuki, Izuku becomes a drug without which he loses his sanity. For Izuku, Katsuki is the only source of water in a desert he did not choose. But their secret is a ticking time bomb. Katsuki loves Aoru, but longs for Izuku. And the deeper he falls into the madness of his split, the clearer it becomes that one of them must disappear before this forbidden closeness burns them all to ashes.
