Falling in love was stupid. Falling in love with someone Katsuki deemed to be his greatest rival was even stupider.

It had been that way for as long as he could remember, constant doctors appointments with complaints of difficulty breathing, medication after medication, till they finally came to a conclusion. Katsuki had been ten. His parents had been happy. But then the doctors delivered the news that no parent wanted to hear about their child:

Katsuki had Hanahaki Disease.

And the more his feelings grew and the older he got, the more Katsuki's life span dwindle and the more he distanced himself from Izuku. So, when unaccounted for events strike the students of U.A. Katsuki and Izuku are forced to spend more time with one another. And only one questions remains:

Will it be his love for Izuku that finally kills Katsuki?

Oh, no I hope I don't fall-- *proceeds to fall*
