Former Pro Hero Deku never imagined that at twenty-seven, he'd be quirkless, retired, and loveless. Marrying Ochako seemed like the right thing to do. Their friends and families thought they were a perfect fit. Citizens loved the image they made together. They were close friends; would love really be so different?
But after seven years of a cracked, broken, and unfulfilling life together, Ochako asks Izuku for a divorce.
Izuku spirals, finding himself in a depression unlike any other. When Katsuki shows up, moving back home after six years of silence, Izuku begins to question...everything.
Katsuki has a secret.
Izuku realizes he never loved Ochako.
And when their friendship sparks back to life, something begins to kindle underneath them. Something stronger than friendship.
Something that had always been there.
