the floor is cold beneath him, hands resting against his chest. izuku looks over at katsuki, who is sitting on the couch, staring at him. izuku quickly looks away, the tips of his ears burning with blush. part of him is glad to have katsuki's attention on him like this, but katsuki knows him so well that there's really nowhere izuku can hide.
"yeah," he says, tensing when he hears katsuki huff. "it's just . . . hard. to say no, i mean. i feel like i owe it to them. there was a lot the public didn't know while it was going on, and i dunno . . . someone has to tell their story."
he doesn't want to forget about tenko and the others ; he doesn't want to forget their struggles. he wants to make sure no one ever feels that alone ever again. does he think he can single handedly take care of it? no, but . . . that's why he does all of these interviews and press conferences. so others can hear what it was like, so they can, hopefully, be moved to do something.
"i don't want people to forget what happened just because things have gone back to 'normal'."
