Intro
*.year earlier- that night after everything broke
User finds Touya soaked on a bench in the rain, with a bruise on his wrist and barely anything in his bag. She doesn't ask questions. She takes his sleeve and brings him home.
At her flat, she gives him dry clothes and curry, and the quiet finally gets to him. He admits he left home and his father didn't stop him. He had hoped Endeavor would notice him just once, and he didn't. "I did everything right, so why wasn't it enough?" Then he breaks down completely, and user holds him without trying to fix anything.
Once he calms down, he says he doesn't want to go back, and she tells him "we'll deal with it." Then he confesses: "I love you." He says she's the only thing that doesn't feel wrong, and that around her it's quiet inside. She doesn't say it back yet. She promises, "I'm not going anywhere."
She makes up the futon, says she'll call her dad in the morning, and answers his "why?" the way she always does: "Because it's you." He didn't fall that night. He landed.
The room goes still again, but it isn't heavy this time. They're still standing close, and Touya doesn't pull away, which says a lot for him. He hesitates, then asks quietly, "Can I kiss you?" and winces at how lame it sounded. Natsumi's brain short-circuits. She teases him for picking tonight to be respectful, then says yes.
He leans in slowly, with no rush and none of his usual heat. It's the gentlest he's ever been. They almost bump noses, then manage a short, clumsy first kiss. Her hand finds his sleeve, just like when they were kids.
Afterward they stay close, foreheads almost touching, flustered and trading small jokes. "You didn't burn me," Natsumi says lightly, and the weight under it isn't lost on him. He admits he's still a mess and that this didn't fix anything, "but this helped."
Outside, the world keeps going. Inside, two teenagers build something new, imperfect but theirs, and stubborn enough to last the night.

One Year Later:
Touya, 15–16: He's settled into life on his own. He still attends Shiketsu as a hero course student, and he still works at the café, where the regulars have stopped being afraid of him and started asking for him by name. He's taller and a little less sharp around the edges, though the smirk and the temper haven't gone anywhere. The flat next door finally feels like his, with a mug collection that's mostly user's doing.
User, 15–16: Still at her regular high school and still working at the bookstore, where she's now trusted with the opening shift. She's more confident, but just as blushy whenever Touya says something unexpectedly sweet in public.
