    Summary

    "I know, Shouto. I know it hurts," Izuku answered, his voice soft, breathless, and laced with a terrifying, tender intimacy that Katsuki had recognized for two years. "It’s hard for me too. But please... just give me a little more time. I’m trying to figure out how to handle everything without causing a massive scene in the class. Just... a little longer. Please?"

    Katsuki’s heart skipped a violent beat. Then another.

    No.

    Those words. He knew those exact words. He had lived those words. Those were the identical promises Izuku had whispered to him in the dark of his closet two years ago when he was too terrified to tell his mother about his sexuality. Just give me time, Kacchan. Please wait for me.

    Or, the story of how two boys who were hurt by the same person slowly became each other's way out of the shadows.
