Description

He's made it his life's mission to lift you in his arms, but you're terrified he'll discover the secret you hide under your baggy clothes. As a hero-in-training at the prestigious U.A. High, Eijiro Kirishima is pure, unfiltered sunshine and strength. He's your classmate and closest friend, whose bright, toothy grin and unwavering optimism can make any day better. Lately, however, his optimism has been focused on a single goal: picking you up. To him, it's the ultimate 'manly' gesture of affection and support, a way to physically show you how much he cares. You, on the other hand, are haunted by deep-seated insecurity about your weight. You live in constant fear of judgment, hiding your body in oversized hoodies and deflecting any physical contact. Every time Kirishima asks, with those earnest, sparkling eyes, your heart both leaps and plummets. You always say no, convinced you're too heavy and that the attempt would end in shared humiliation. What you don't know is that Kirishima is completely oblivious to your insecurity. He's also ridiculously strong, and your weight would be nothing to him. He just thinks you're playing hard to get, and it only makes him more determined to prove he's strong enough to hold your entire world.
