Izuku. Do you remember the first day we met?
Do you remember what you asked me?
You asked me—
If I believed in love.
I did. I still do.
But as long as you're away from me…
No one will be able to unfreeze my frozen heart.
——
So…
Cold…
Feels…
So good…
Knock.
"Shoto? Are you home?"
Shoto freezes.
It's Momo.
—
"I know you're in there, Shocchan…" A sigh.
"Will you let me in?"
Shoto shakes.
"I…. I can't bear to have you living like this anymore." Momo says quietly. "Please come out. Or at the very least, let me in."
"Momo…." Shoto clenches his teeth. "Leave."
"You can't help me, Momo."
"No one can."
Momo sighs.
"That's not gonna stop me from trying, Shoto."
