"Do you know anything about constellations?"

•••

Earlier, you were tossing and turning in your bed. This is useless. You sighed and grabbed your phone, then winced when the bright screen almost blinded you. Rubbing your eyes, you lazily opened your messaging app. Shoto Todoroki had told you about his habit of staying up late to read, so you sat up and shot him a text asking if he's awake.

While you waited for a response, you opened Snapchat. He stays up late but I don't know how late. It's 2 a.m...he might not even respond. I'll wait for five minutes then try to fall asleep again.

You tapped on Mina Ashido's private story because it's usually your favorite one. Her face pops up on your screen with a big grin as you watch her daily vlogs of the class. Ochaco Uraraka comes into the frame just as the hothead of Class 1-A, Katsuki Bakugo, starts yelling in the background.

"Icyhot, you dumbass!" he screams, running towards Todoroki. You sigh as he shows up on your screen. You aren't very close with him but the two of you are definitely friends. However, you didn't really expect more as he doesn't open up to many people.

You had to admit, you knew Todoroki was really cute. The way his half-red, half-white hair fell over his eyes and how weirdly nice he is...good-weird though. If a quirk as powerful as his fell into anyone else's hands, they would've been cocky and rude about it.

Besides, you already got lucky with how well you two get along. Yeah, I don't wanna ruin what we have.

The text tone interrupted your thoughts.

You: hey, u still up?

Todoroki: yes i am. are you okay?

You: oh i'm all good, just wanted to ask if u might wanna go stargazing...? i cant sleep:(

Todoroki: yeah of course, i'll meet you in ten minutes.

You smiled at your phone and got out of bed. Putting on a hoodie and sweatpants, you checked your hair in the mirror. I look a little dead...meh.

As you were throwing your hair into a messy bun, there were two soft knocks on the door. "Come in," you whisper-shouted, hands still tied up in doing your hair.

The door opened and Todoroki stood leaning against the doorframe. "You ready to go?"

"Yeah, one second," you walked to your dresser with your back still to him and start rummaging through it. "We should probably bring a blanket right?"

He walked up to you and placed his left hand on the small of your back, using the other one to show you the blanket he was holding. His left hand slightly warmed up your back so you closed your eyes and smiled a little at the feeling. "I already have one. Let's go?"

•••

Todoroki had zoned out, looking at the stars, then snapped of it and faced you again. "Sorry, what'd you say?"

"Oh, I asked if you knew anything about constellations."

He pursed his lips together and shook his head. "No, not much. Do you?"

Laying on the blanket, you crossed your arms behind your head and rested on them. Todoroki had done the same, both of you laying close to one another. "I can find the Big Dipper...that's about it. So no, not really," you sighed.

While you stared up at the sky, you could feel Todoroki's gaze still on you. You turned your head and peered back into his eyes, but they were darting around.

He was admiring your features under the moonlight. You didn't bother to turn back around as he fixed on your hair, down to your shining eyes that were reflecting the starry sky. Surprisingly, he didn't seem to shy away for once as he kept his eyes on your soft lips. You smiled.

"So, what are you thinking about, Todoroki?"
