Curate, connect, and discover
okay so fun fact. i LOVE hanahaki aus. so like hear me out.
monodeku hanahaki au where monoma is the one affected, but instead of dealing with it like a normal person he just,,,, ignores it. like he hides it from everyone else but he doesn't try to get it removed because, (as much as he would like to forget izuku) it would make it obvious he had / has a crush on him in the first place. also he's lowkey probably in denial and thinks that his crush will just fucking go away if he ignores it long enough.
obviously he can't just hide it the whole time and SOMEONE finds out. AND INSTEAD OF? TELLING THEM WHO HE LIKES SO THEY COULD HELP HE JUST GOES "uhh idk" WHEN THEY ASK.
basically, its like a cat and mouse situation but there actually is no mouse and monoma is just chasing his tail.
