The moon—
First time I heard your voice
Moonlight burst into the room
And I saw your eyes
And I saw your smile
And the world opened wide
And the world was inside of me
The instant he steps into the room, time seems to come to a standstill. His green and black curls bounce as he bounds into the classroom, bright green eyes twinkling in happiness. His bubbly laughter floods the room and makes my voice catch in my throat. My eyes can’t help but focus on him. His mouth is wide open in a smile, showing pearly white teeth. The corners of his eyes crinkle as he beams, the faintest hint of dimples on flushed cheeks.
He heads further into the classroom, turning to face our classroom, he happily makes his way towards his seat. He scoots past Aizawa’s sleeping form with ease, ducks under someone’s enthusiastic greeting and, upon arriving at his desk, takes off his yellow backpack. Turning to face his seat, he sits in front of Mineta. His glittering eyes meet mine, if only for a second, and in that one moment, I feel my face begin to flush, and my heart begins to thump wildly in my chest. I am afraid someone will be able to hear it, but I do not care. I am entranced by the constellations that can be found on his skin, how I wish I could reach out and trace the beautiful flecks peppering his cheeks with my fingertips, and kiss his freckled shoulders.
It is only the second week of classes at UA High School, and I am already deeply infatuated with this boy.
As the classroom finally fills and Aizawa begins to take attendance, my heart beats faster as I hear Aizawa call his name for attendance. Midoriya Izuku.
And I catch my breath
And I laugh and blush
And I hear guitars
You are so good for me
I think I might be suffering from some type of breathing problem, for I have been finding myself with my breath caught in my throat more and more often as of late. Every glimpse I catch of Izuku, I feel all the air in my lungs rush out, as if I have received a blow to the stomach. I cannot begin to describe the things this boy unknowingly does to me on a daily basis.
Every time his lips split open in a sunny smile, his freckled cheeks flushing red and green eyes sparkling with joy. My mind comes to a screeching halt and I lose all sense of self. How can one person be the manifestation of an actual angel? I turn into a blushing, stuttering mess whenever he so much as looks at me, I’m thankful I don’t combust whenever he speaks to me.
Izuku is truly the kindest, most compassionate person I have ever met. He will lend a shoulder for you to cry one, listen to your troubles, and offer advice. Izuku never judges you for any reason whatsoever. He understands what you’re going through and, if you’re ever in trouble, he will always come to your rescue, regardless of the risk. He is such a kind and gentle soul, and he always puts others before himself and he will always do his best to help others, at any cost.
I know that I could not wish for a better friend. Every kindness he shows me, makes me fall deeper and deeper for him.
Izuku is truly the best out of all of us.
Oh, the moon
Oh, the snow in the moonlight
And your childlike eyes
And your distant smile
I'll never be this happy again
You and I
And no one else
Ever since meeting Midoriya Izuku, I have learned a great many things.
One of them being that he is a truly strong person.
I don’t just mean physically, while that is true, that he is extremely strong as a result of his training and his quirk. But that he has progressed by leaps and bounds with his quirk, even with all of the obstacles in his way. He has endured so much pain as a result of his quirk’s backlash on his body, yet he has never given up. He strives to become better every day, and that inspires not only me but all of us in Class 1-A.
When I say that Izuku is a strong person, I mean mentally and emotionally. Sure, he may cry a lot, but I actually admire that. It shows that he is in touch with his emotions and he doesn’t try to hold them back. Izuku has been through a lot of hardship and conflict in his short life, and even more so since starting at UA. The villain attacks he has been though should have affected him in some way, and I’m sure they have. Yet, Izuku has not stopped smiling. Even when he was going through the toughest moments of his life, he never stopped smiling.
He lives every day with such joy that it is contagious, and ever since coming into my life, I have not stopped smiling either. I am the happiest I have been in a long time. And it is all thanks to Izuku.
This winter sky
How can anyone sleep?
There was never such a night before!
I feel like putting my arms around my knees
And squeezing tight as possible
And flying away
Like this…
Sometimes, when I cannot sleep, I look at the night sky. It reminds me of him.
The never-ending number of stars shining in the sky remind me of his infinite amount of kindness. The overpowering darkness of the night reminds me of his overwhelming strength. Yet, most of all, I think of him and me, alone in the world. Surrounded only by millions of stars that twinkle at us from hundreds of thousands of light-years away.
I am selfish.
I wish it could just be Izuku and I, and nobody else. The thought of that makes my heart squeeze. If everybody in the world were to just disappear, would that be so bad? But, I know that he would not be happy, for Izuku has been so lonely in his childhood, that he could not live with just me for company.
I could not bear to see him in pain, much less be the cause of it.
So I’m okay with looking at the night sky.
The constellations remind me of his freckles.
The twinkling stars remind me of his gentle eyes.
If the night sky takes his place, it'll just be me and him and millions of stars.
And that’s okay.
