He knows anger when he sees his father look with distaste at Zach every morning.

He knows happiness when he sees Zach smile and acknowledge his progress in PT when and if it happens.

I Get To Love You

Chapter two is posted!

Alex grips the shirt in his right hand, purses his lips and nods. He’ll keep that in mind. He’ll keep repeating those words and try to not let them become a broken record in his mind.

“No, but I think you should,” she decides to voice, moving so fast Izuku doesn’t even find the time to react before she has his wrist uncovered, pressing her thumb into the second zero carved into his skin and retrieving blood. She brings it to her mouth, tongue savoring the metallic taste. “The time’s almost over.”

In the end, she smiles.
