My Hero Academia Imagines

1 // Shoto Todoroki // "Nervous" Pt. 1

===== (Y/N's P.O.V) (Saturday)

I tapped Todoroki. His back straightened slightly and he turned. He just looked at me for a second and rubbed his hands on his pants,

"Hello." I smiled,

"Hey." My mind went blank as I met his eyes. He stared back and opened his mouth, as if to say something. Nothing was said. He suddenly broke eye contact,

"I-Is there something you would like?" My thoughts returned,

"Uh, yeah, I- Do you wanna hang out? On Sunday? I was gonna ask you yesterday but then I forgot and now it's short notice and I'm sorry but-" He suddenly met my eyes again and I stopped talking. He smiled. It was small, but it was there,

"I would love to hang out with you." He put emphasis on "hang out", as if in air quotes. I nodded and walked off,

"Holy shit. I did that."

~Todoroki's P.O.V~

I watched her walk away, momentarily mesmerized. She was so beautiful. So effortlessly herself. So powerful. I became aware of my staring, quickly becoming embarrassed. I turned and exhaled sharply,

"She wanted to hang out with me. She asked me out." I smiled to myself, ecstatic beyond imagine,

"Wait-"

~Y/N's P.O.V~

I started on the way to my dorm. I turned a corner and my backpack was tugged. I gasped and turned, sliding out of my backpack straps. Todoroki was standing there. He had this blank look on his face and his hands were by his sides. His arm suddenly shot out and he pushed my backpack against my chest,

"I-I'm sorry. I was just trying to get your attention."

~Todoroki's P.O.V~

I couldn't look her in the eye. I heard her giggle. It was like magic. I glanced up. A smile had split her face and she was laughing. She was so beautiful. Her smile lit up her face and her laughter showed in her eyes. I had a quiet inclination to feel like she was laughing at me. I felt my face get hot with embarrassment. I went to speak, but nothing was coming out. She touched my arm,

"Todoroki?"

~Y/N's P.O.V~

He looked up. His face was sad for a split second. I stopped laughing,

"Hey-" He straightened up,

"You asked me to do activities with you. On Sunday." I nodded,

"Yeah?" He seemed to fumble around his words,

"I quickly realized that I have no way of contacting you. I tried to find you, but you had already disappeared. And I know you live a floor below me, but I though it would be odd to simply show up to your dorm." I lowered my eyebrows,

"Are you asking for my number, Todoroki?" He hesitated,

"I- No?" He went quiet and looked at the ground. I put my backpack on and felt around his pockets. He grunted... or groaned... I don't really know. He made some type of distressed sounding noise and lifted his arms as if trying to avoid touching me. I found his phone in his right back pocket. I grabbed it and unlocked it,

"No lock. Default wallpaper. Default folders. This man really is as simple as it comes, huh? " I went to his contacts,

"Todo barely has any contacts. Geez." I hit "Add New Contact" and typed in my name. I filled in my phone number and hit "Save Contact". There was no picture, only the default letters of my first and last name. I hit "Edit Contact" and clicked to add a picture. The front facing camera came up. I flipped it and looked up at Todoroki,

"Do you wanna take a picture of me?" I handed him the phone. He grabbed it and held the camera awkwardly,

"Like this? What button do I press?" I laughed and I heard the camera shutter. I peeked at it. It was clearer than I expected, a candid of me mid-laugh and off guard. I mentally started to pick myself apart, pointing out every single flaw. Todoroki was staring at it too. I sighed,

"We can take another if you don't like it." He looked at me,

"I love... it. I mean- I really- I think you're- I think it's nice. It makes you look really nice." We were suddenly making really intense eye contact. I grabbed his phone and impulsively saved the picture. The contact auto saved and updated. I handed him his phone back,

"Now you have my number. Use it." And I walked away. I dipped around the nearest corner and watched the ground as I made my way down the hall to my dorm. My phone vibrated in my pocket. An unknown number was on the Caller ID. I answered,

"Hello?" There was a pause,

"You told me to use it." I smiled,

"Todoroki?" There was the usual awkward pause,

"Yes. You told me to use your number. So I did." I giggled,

"Okay." He cleared his throat,

"Did I do it right? Is this correct?" I opened my dorm,

"Sure." He paused and I could practically imagine him standing awkwardly,

"I did it wrong, didn't I?" I laughed, closing my door and locking it,

"No. No. You did it right." I heard him let out a breathy laugh,

"I did?" I leaned against my door,

"Yeah. You're doing great." I imagined he was smiling, proud of himself,

"Okay. I'm going to hang up." I pushed off of my door and walked to the my drawers,

"Okay, Todo. I'll see you tomorrow." I reached into my drawer and grabbed some lounge clothes. Todoroki hadn't hung up. I closed the drawer,

"Todo?" Shuffling noises,

"Would you like me to come to your dorm tomorrow? To hang out?" I smiled and sat on my bed,

"Uh, we can do whatever you want." I heard a door slide,

"I don't commonly hang out with... anyone. I don't know what people do when they hang out." He kept putting air quote emphasis on hang out. I laughed and laid down,

"You know you don't have to emphasize 'hang out', right?"

"Do I do that? I'm sorry." I sighed,

"You don't have to apologize."

"But you don't like how I pronounce 'hang out'. And I apologize for that." I stared at the ceiling,

"Okay, Todo."

"Am I annoying you, Y/N? I apologize." I stretched,

"No. You're perfectly fine, babe."

"Babe?"

"It's a general term of endearment, Todo."

"Oh." I sighed,

"Come to my dorm tomorrow, kay? Anytime you want after 12."

"Should I dress up? I have a suit." I smiled and closed my eyes,

"No. Dress comfortably. However you want."

"Okay."

"Kay?"

"Yes."

"I'm gonna hang up the phone, Todo."

"Okay. Goodbye."
