Beneath the Scars - A Tododeku Story

Chapter 2 - All We Wanted Was Food

P.O.V SHOTO TODOROKI

Iida, Uraraka, Midoriya and I decided to get food after school.

"Again, Todoroki?" Uraraka says to me, "It's like you power off of soba!"

"Who's saying I don't?"

Iida and Midoriya laugh.

Midoriya ordered katsudon, yet again, but Uraraka doesn't tease him about it. She definitely notices though. I wonder why. I kind of know she has a crush on him, yet it's a fact people tease the person they fancy.

Why doesn't she do that with Midoriya?

Why...

Why couldn't Enji do that with Mom..?

Why, why, why...Maybe I shouldn't think too hard.

"Todoroki? A-are you okay?"

Hm? "Oh...yes, thank you Midoriya"

"Don't look now, guys..." Uraraka mumbles to us.

Kaminari, Ashido, Kirishima, Sero...

Oh...

And Bakugo.

"Well, well, well, all the nerds having a meet-up, huh, and you decided to bring Round Cheeks too...a recruit, are you..?"

"H-hey! That's mean!" Uraraka stands up, her face going a bit red.

"Go away, Kacchan. We're just trying to eat." Midoriya grumbles.

Huh, I guess he's still a little mad about earlier today.

"Yea, bro, us too...remember? Just food." Kirishima comes to our table. "Hey guys!"

"Hello, Kirishima" Iida nods at him, Kirishima nods back.

Bakugo grunts, "Whatever." He shoots a look at Midoriya, then at me...

I look at Midoriya too, and he blushes.

Cute. He's always kinda cute.

Kaminari and Sero are looking at us, wondering what's happening...Ashido...

Wait, where's Ashido?

"Omigod- Ochaco, you should totally come back to my house after, I can totally 100 per cent give you some clothes."

She's somehow wormed our way next to Uraraka and is speaking to her.

"Huh, I suppose, I'm not doing anything afterwards now."

"Neat! I'll pick you up in...15?"

"O-okay!"

Iida stands too. "Well, I must get back, guys, have to catch up on-"

"Homework," we all finish for him.

He smiles.

"See you" and he races off.

Midoriya and I sit in silence.

"Well, um...Todoroki?"

I start to get butterflies. What- why? It's not like I-

I-it's not like I l-

L-like hi-

"Y-yes?"

I start to blush, and so does he.

What? Why would I like him? Why would he like me? What do I have to offer?

"Well, if you want to...do you want to come over to my house? Maybe?"

And that was it.

"O-okay"

Everything clicked.

I like Izuku Midoriya.

And he, somehow, likes me back.
