   Summary

   Moving from the big city to a small town was supposed to be a fresh start.

   For Izuku Midoriya, it means leaving everything behind and transferring to U.A. for his final year. A new school, a new town, and new people. A chance to be someone who isn't constantly haunted by his past.

   Then he sees Katsuki Bakugo.

   They haven't spoken since they were kids. Izuku barely remembers the boy he used to follow around, and Katsuki doesn't seem to know what to make of the person Izuku has become.

   Because Izuku is different now, quieter, calmer, and harder to read.

   And very good at pretending he is fine.

   Unfortunately, Katsuki has never been particularly good at leaving things alone.
