    Summary

    Shouta Aizawa has always been an exceptionally observant student.

    He notices the smallest changes in an opponent's stance. The briefest hesitation before an attack. The subtle weaknesses other people overlook.

    Unfortunately, he's also become rather good at noticing things about his homeroom teacher.

    The way Izuku Midoriya's voice changes when he's disappointed. The rare warmth of his praise. The quiet confidence of a man who knows exactly how powerful he is.

    And the way Shouta's entire world seems to narrow whenever those green eyes settle on him.

    Izuku has noticed, too.

    When Shouta begins lingering after class, their ordinary conversations take an increasingly personal turn. Academic exercises become tests of obedience, and the distinction between education and something far more dangerous begins to disappear.

    Shouta has spent years learning how to analyze the people around him.

    Now his teacher has decided to teach him something about himself.

    And some lessons never appear on the official curriculum.
