   Summary

   “Do you have to leave?” Izuku asked quietly.

   “Yeah. I can’t be around you,” Hisashi sighed. “I’m bad luck or something.”

   “Oh,” Izuku said quietly, looking at the ground sadly.

   “But it’s fine. You have your soulmates,” Hisashi reminded her, pointing at her arm. Eight bands of black and white flowers circled her arm, from wrist to elbow. It was a lot of bonds but that just meant that she’d have more people to love her.

   ___________________

   Midoriya Izuku doesn't want to meet any more of his soulmates. Not after the first one he met in middle school broke their bond, burning away their flowers. There was no way his soulmates would accept him. Quirkless, abandoned, and broken.

   When he winds up being fostered by one and in the same class as a few others, will he be able to keep them away and shut them out of his life? Does he still want to?
