Todoroki Shouto was an intriguing man.
When you first met him five years ago, in high school, you would have never thought you were going to be friends. He was rather cold, aloof, and sometimes rude. No amount of attractiveness could make that up to you, so you were hardly what you would consider friends.
Even after Shouto seemed to begin to overcome some of his demons. You were turned off by the idea of being his friend that you spent the rest of the first semester uncaring. You had no opinions for the powerful boy.
It wasn't until he apologized to you during the summer training camp. An apology that caught you off guard, did you finally think you could become friends.
You two were fast friends at that too! Shouto and you had your own respective friend groups in your first year. But two times a week the two of you would eat lunch together.
So it went. The next two years of U.A. were incredible, the two of you helping each other out with areas of weakness. The areas you lacked in, Shouto excelled in, and vice versa. So it was no wonder the two of you were always paired up to spar.
It wasn't until the third year when you sat with your entire class around you, did something happen. You and Shouto were having your own conversation outside of the one the class was having. Your hands shoving a grinning Shouto whenever he said something annoying.
"You guys are fucking disgusting," Bakugou's irritated voice snapped at the two of you during a moment of silence. Everyone was staring at the two of you, and Shouto and you were nonetheless wiser to it. "We're trying to fucking eat here, could you for one damn minute stop fucking flirting?!"
Your cheeks flushed red.
Shouto stilled next to you.
Your eyes flashed over to Mina and Hagakure who were gaping. The girls were your closest friends here. You knew that those two, in particular, liked Shouto still. Which was why you never made a move, why you denied your feelings for Shouto for two years now.
"Oh my god, Kacchan!" Midoriya's snickering voice sent everyone's attention to the green-haired boy. He was sitting next to Bakugou. "No one says anything when you flirt with—"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP SHIT-KU!" Bakugou raged sending the conversation into a whole new tangent.
You and Shouto, however, stayed silent next to each other. Refusing to look at one another.
At the end of the day, you packed your bags, talking with Mina who was waiting for you to walk back to the dorms. You pulled on your jacket and said your goodbyes to the last lingering classmates in the room. It was, for the most part, the old Dekusquad as they had been playing a card game. Because they didn't want it to be with the entire class, they stayed in the classroom.
