   Summary

   Dreaming of death or being unable to move was nothing new, but it always was in the context of a battle. Not in simple, everyday life. That dream didn't make him feel like he wasn't good enough, strong enough, to save those he cares about. It made him feel like… like he was already dead, and the world had moved on.

   Is that what is going to happen to him? Will his friends celebrate their accomplishments without sparing a thought to the classmate that was forced to stay behind?

   Will he die, never having fulfilled any dream?

    

   Or: Izuku is Bakugou Soulmate, and still he has Hanahaki. Confessing is not an option so carries his feelings and secrets with him while trying to achieve everything he's ever wanted in the limited time he has left, but the universe seems to conspire against him
