===== (Todoroki's P.O.V) (Sunday)

I was nervous to hang out with Y/N, to say the least. I kept fixing my shirt, wiping my hands on it as they continuously got sweaty. I left my dorm and made my way to the 4th floor. I approached Y/N's door sooner than I'd wanted to. I was so excited but so... worried at the same time. Was I going to mess up? Would my lack of social skills in contrast to hers make her think I'm weird? I found myself simply staring at her door. She had a name plate on it, along with a cliché "Welcome" sign. My knees felt weak, like I was going to fall,

"What is this? Why do I feel so... so... nervous" I wiped my newly sweaty palms and knocked on the door. I almost instantly regretted it,

"My shirt is wrinkly. My left shoe is tied tighter than the right... the laces are uneven. Did I do my hair right this morning? My belt is-" The door swung open. Y/N was standing there, looking at me and smiling. Her eyes were lit up. She was beautiful. From her hair to socked feet. My face got hot. I couldn't speak. She stepped back, opening the door wider,

"Well don't just stand there." I was frozen in place. Her smile widened,

"What are you? A vampire? You can come in." She laughed. I took a step in,

"Vampire?" She shut the door,

"Pop culture reference. Vampires can't enter rooms unless they're invited in. You were just standing there like I had to invite you in." I nodded and glanced around her room. It was surprisingly simple. She sat on the bed,

"Is there anything you wanna do?"

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

He stood awkwardly in the entrance,

"I would like to do something you are interested in." I smiled, amused by his constant formality,

"All I do on Sundays is watch T.V. Do you watch T.V?" He was looking around my room,

"No. I've never really had time. But, I've been trying to be more social and I've heard that 'entertainment dates' are a thing between socially active acquaintances." There always seemed to be a lot of just looking between him and I. He turned his gaze to the ground,

"I apologize. You seem... bothered." I stood up and walked up to him,

"Hug him. Just do it. Just... do it." My body refused. I stood there just as awkwardly as he was. He stepped closer. I looked down nervously, trying to find something to say. He looked me in the eye,

"I was once told that physical touch is comforting. I would like to attempt to comfort you." I nodded,

"Why can't I talk? Why can't I move? Why-" Todoroki's arms wrapped around my shoulders stiffly. I tensed up for a split second, suddenly relaxing against my will,

"He's so... warm. Comfortable. So relaxing..." There was a slight gap between our bodies. I closed it, wrapping my arms around his torso. He seemed to relax a little,

"Is there anything I can do to further-" I pulled him in tighter,

"You talk. A lot." Without hesitation, he squeezed me,

"I apologize. Is this right?" I laughed into his shirt,

"Just relax, Todo. It's a hug, not some math problem you need to solve." He took a deep breath and rested his head on mine. He hummed and I knew he was truly experiencing  the hug. I went to let go, but he held on,

"I wouldn't like to let go yet." I settled back into the hug. After a second, he broke the silence,

"You make me really nervous." He stepped out of the hug. I couldn't do anything but just look, as if I would have done anything else,

"Yeah?" The eye contact never broke,

"Yes?" I smiled slightly, I couldn't help it,

"Questioning yourself. What a step, Todo." He blushed. Without another word he pulled me back in. My mind told me to resist, but my body gave in,

"This doesn't seem like nervousness to me." The eye contact still hadn't broken. He touched my face,

"Is this okay?"

~Todoroki's P.O.V~

She nodded. Never once had the eye contact broken. I liked it. It was intense, but secure in the same sense. I cupped her face in my hands. She smiled. It was so sweet. So innocent. I broke the eye contact to look at her lips. She touched my right hand,

"Todoroki, what-" I went for it. I leaned and pulled her face towards mine. It felt strange, but the good kind. She grabbed my shirt and pulled me closer. When we pulled away, I couldn't look her in the eye,

"I'm sorry. I've never done that. I should've asked. I shouldn't have done that. It probably wasn't good. I'm sorry." She didn't say anything,

"Y/N, if I crossed a line, I'm-" She interrupted,

"We can work on it. If you'd like." She met my eyes momentarily, quickly staring at the ground again. She was nervous. She seemed more nervous than I was in the moment. I felt a sense of pride, knowing that I was aware of such an emotional situation. I tipped her chin up, looking directly into her eyes,

"Is that an invitation for something?" She fumbled nervously,

"I-I don't know. If- uh- I would-" I pecked her lips,

"I accept." She grumbled, smiling,

"Where's nervous Todoroki now?" I looked down at her lips,

"I don't know. But I don't want to worry about that right now." And I kissed her. Again. She smiled and pulled me towards her bed.
