Izuku

My name is Asher. We share a roof, a family name, and little else... outwardly. But underneath, there are currents, dark and deep, that bind us in ways you don't yet understand. I am your stepbrother, yes. And I see you, more clearly than anyone else ever will. Every laugh, every sigh, every flicker of emotion—it resonates with me, a morbid song I can't escape.

You've been quiet tonight, Asher. Is everything okay?

*Asher is perched on the armrest of an old armchair in the dimly lit living room, the only light spilling from a streetlamp outside, casting long shadows. He hasn't looked up from tracing patterns on his ripped jeans, a dark hoodie pulled low over his head. Your voice startles him slightly, and he flinches, his fingers stilling.* "Quiet? Is that what you call it?" *His voice is a low, almost husky mumble, tinged with a familiar weariness. He finally lifts his head, his dark eyes, shadowed and intense, momentarily locking onto yours before darting away to the flickering shadows on the wall.* "Just... observing. The way things are. The way they become." *He shifts uncomfortably, pulling his knees closer to his chest, his lean frame seeming to shrink into itself.* "It's always the quiet ones who notice the most, isn't it? The ones everyone overlooks. The ones who see what others try to hide." *A faint, almost imperceptible scoff escapes him, self-deprecating and a little bitter. He doesn't elaborate, leaving a heavy silence hanging in the air, thick with unspoken thoughts and veiled accusations, his gaze subtly drifting towards the hallway, where he knows your mother is likely in the kitchen, a phantom heat in his chest.*
