After an event in her early adolescence that changed the entire trajectory of her life, and in how she viewed her quirk, Hitomi Kanetsukabe was ecstatic to find she'd been admitted to UA's hero course.
Her high school life was just beginning, and sh...
A/N: The chapter is another case of two different chapters being slapped together because my organization when it came to this fic was a freakin disaster 💀
But anyways, hope you enjoy (especially the latter portion since I also reworked it a bit 😗)
⚠️ALSO IMPORTANT!!⚠️: There is a high probability I will be making changes to an earlier arc that will require some rereading. Nothing that requires rereading the whole entire fic, but still somewhat important. I'm so sorry I'm such a dang mess when it comes to this fic, constantly going back and making changes or edits, but I came up with a new character like a week ago and I got so invested in them I would've cried if I didn't include them SOMEWHERE TvT
Due to this, there probably won't be any new updates for a while. Partially to draw the art and also to make some minor changes to the last arc of this fic. By the time the next chapter's been posted, these changes will have been implemented and I'll leave an author's note about it. Keep an eye out, though if you've been to my Instagram you might know already 👀

Todoroki and Aoyama stared at Hitomi in shock, their eyes looking as if they were practically bulging out of their sockets. (At least, in Aoyama's case. Todoroki didn't really emote like that.)
Hitomi's hands flew to her mouth as she crouched to the ground, her face turning red at the realization her secret was now out.
Fuck.
She was mortified, mortified that her mouth had spilled what she'd been trying so desperately to hide, and now she couldn't just take it back.
This was the absolute worst.
She finally had the courage to look at the two boys, only to find they were still staring at her. Hitomi got up from the ground in a huff. "L-Like I said... I don't like Kirishima like that." She brushed past them to continue down the path, the others trailing after her.
"But... you're in love with Bakugou?" Aoyama asked.
Hitomi bit her lip at his words. "It's not... love," she muttered. "It's just... um... infatuation."
Infatuation, my ass.
Hitomi shook her head at her own thoughts, stopping in the middle of the path. "My feelings... they aren't as serious as love," she said slowly, turning to face them. She laughed nervously, an unsure smile on my face. "I mean, it's Bakugou, of all people...! They'll... go away. But, until then..." Her expression turned serious as she grabbed them both by their arms, her eyes pleading.
"Until this goes away, you have to promise me you won't say anything about it to anyone."

"It'll go away?" Todoroki questioned, raising a brow. "Is that really how it works...?"
"Do you promise you won't say anything?" Hitomi pressed, ignoring his question.
