Summary:
There’s someone at the river when he gets there. Shouto slows until he’s almost stopped as he approaches, conscious that he hasn’t been noticed yet. Izuku is humming to himself as he bathes, working his hands through his thick curls and wrinkling his nose when soap bubbles drip into his eyes. His pack and his clothes are set neatly in a pile on the riverbank.
Shouto hesitates by the bare, dark trees. Izuku’s skin is dark and laced with scars that run from pink to white. Some are long and narrow, lashing around his chest. Others bloom in flowers of discolouration across his back. Freckles crowd around his shoulders and fall down his upper arms like seeds waiting to grow. Shouto touches the tree closest to him: its bark is damp and rough. He takes a deep breath.
