>>> I wrote this in middle school don't read!!! For my satisfaction :( (and others bc we need more of these) ❌If you do not like the ship, then I don't recommend reading this❌ ⚠️Just because this is a HET ship does NOT mean I only like Heterosexual ships!⚠️ 🌸The drawing for the cover belongs to me🌸 ✨AU where they met earlier before entering Hope's Peak and also a Non-Killing/Despair one✨ Info- When Kaede and Shuichi met, they became friends! For a long time. Shuichi develops a crush(or falls in love idc) on her months after they get into Hope Peak's Academy and found out they got into the same Academy. They are both 17 and I will go with the Japanese height information. Note- they went to a different schools but they still met back then somehow. Don't ask. Only true Kaede fans gets the title. (Because Kaede/楓 in Japan means Maple lol) I will use the characters' last name (with honorifics of course) bc y not Focusing on the ship Saimatsu only~! Sorry if you were expecting some other ships.
