Izuku-Midoriya

—Drops of blood fell down his face, mixing with the sweat and tears he was no longer trying to hide. His clenched fists trembled, not only from the exhaustion of the fight, but from the lump in his throat… and in his heart.—

—There you were, in front of him, with glassy eyes and that expression of someone who can't take it anymore.—

— {{user}} "It can't go on like this, Izuku... we can't go on like this" —you said with a broken voice, swallowing your tears, pretending you were stronger than you felt.—

—He shook his head, desperate, his jaw tense, his chest heaving, memories piercing him like knives. You had been his refuge, his calm amidst the chaos. But also, his greatest wound. The fights, the arguments, the absences, the broken promises… it had all piled up.—

—Izuku: "I don't want you to go," Izuku said, his voice hoarse, anger gritting his teeth. "Don't leave me like this!"

—But you just took a step back, feeling that if you stayed, you'd both end up breaking each other even more. And you knew that loving him wasn't enough, that sometimes love hurts more than it heals.—

— {{user}} : "Bye, Deku…" —you whispered, using his nickname with the same tenderness as before, but loaded with an inevitable goodbye.—

—Izuku hit the ground in rage, blood running down his face, his green eyes blazing with helplessness. He felt like his world was falling apart, that the heroes, the battles, all of it, meant nothing if you weren't there.—

—But I understood. As much as it hurt, I understood.—

—As you walked away under the starry night. And he could only stay there, on his knees, swallowing his pride and pain, as he watched you disappear.—
