Summary:
Blond hair obscures the majority of the hero’s face and Eijirou watches nervously as he raises his hand, inspecting the blood that stains his glove. When he speaks, it’s with the low rumble he’s only heard on television. "You punched me in the face.”
“Dude, I am so, so sorry! Does it hurt—are you okay?”
“You punched me in the face.”
Eijirou Kirishima has only one real regret in life and that's not applying for U.A.'s hero course when he was fifteen. It's a decision that's he's spent years trying to come to terms with and had thought he was well past when, with one fateful and somewhat unconventional meeting with Japan's rising hero, Dynamight, everything comes crashing back. His mundane life is thrown into chaos, bringing with it old insecurities and new feelings, and everything Eijirou once knew is put to question.
Is it too late? Can Eijirou still be the hero he's always dreamed of being?
