Summary
In the quiet beach town of Kure, Izuku Midoriya returns after years away. His mother’s job had forced them to move when he was a kid, and in the chaos of leaving, he never got the chance to say goodbye to his best friend, Katsuki Bakugo.
Now that his mother has retired, they’ve moved back, and Izuku ends up working at the annual summer fair—right alongside Katsuki. Izuku recognizes him immediately, but Katsuki doesn’t realize who he is at first. When the truth comes out, old hurt rises to the surface, and Katsuki struggles with caring about someone who walked out of his life without a word.
Even so, their paths keep crossing. With a little pressure from Katsuki’s friends and a lot of awkward moments, the two start talking again. Slowly, their old connection comes back, and it begins to grow into something neither of them planned. Katsuki tries to ignore it, and Izuku tries to bury his guilt, but the feelings only get harder to avoid.
After everything they go through—arguments, setbacks, and the weight of their past—they finally face how they really feel. And this time, they don’t run from it.
