We should head off to a place where no one can see us
Those guys pretend they can't see
But they're all paying attention
Your bright white smile is going to be blinding
You're always shining
Even if I pretend I'm not, I become nervous sometimes

TODOROKI WASN'T SURE EXACTLY what it was, but every time she looked him in the eyes, his heart sped up, his knees weakened, and his hands felt clammy. For someone who was typically so calm (and clueless), he had never felt so lost in his life. Maybe it was the fact that he'd been carrying around this red velvet box like a coward, switching it between pant pockets like a loser.

However, that didn't seem to grant any explanation for how she managed to make him feel. It could be the simplest little smile, the small act of her eyes darting to his to give him attention, or how her slender fingers would slide against his shoulder, garnering his attention faster than he could ask what was up.

She definitely had him wrapped around her finger.

I don't know, this might sound like crazy talk but I'm sure
So you can't run off to somewhere,
Give me your fourth finger

"Where do you see yourself in the future?"

Her head shot up in an instant from her laptop, her glasses sliding down her nose from the force. She looked unbelievably cute to him, her hair gathered into a low ponytail as strands stuck out occasionally, messily framing her face. Her eyes were wide with surprise, fingers tracing against her nose bridge as they retracted from her glasses.

Todoroki had never been one to think about the future. Frankly, if anything, that was her. She was always adamant on saving in case of something and he had always been a little too. . . empty brain to think about anything like future expenses. Of course, he had a fund for emergencies, but finances had never really been on his mind.

Y/n blinked at him in surprise, brows furrowed before she licked her lips, answering. "With you, of course." She answered nonchalantly before returning to her work. Eyes narrowed in concentration, she was oblivious to the way Todoroki stared at her in pure awe. His heart sped up and he swallowed his nerves, clutching the box in his sweatpants.

Girl I wanna marry you
Right here right now yeah
I wanna marry you
Girl I wanna marry you
Right here right now
I wanna marry you

He blinked, briefly looking around. Maybe this is good? They were walking around a park after getting ice cream, something that he insisted on after seeing her overwork herself so much. Y/n was always a hard worker and the two worked together like a well-oiled system by looking after one another excessively.

Y/n licked her fingertip, getting rid of the sticky substance that painted it before glancing at the swings. Her eyes landed on the little kids who giggled, pushing their legs back and forth. "I remember being that innocent," A nostalgic tone was in her voice and he glanced at her, tilting his head.

He never had a normal childhood, so he had no idea what she was spieling about. "Do you want to do that one day?" Y/n looked at him with a curious look in her eyes, taking a lick of her dessert before she tilted her head. "What do you mean by that?" He cleared his throat, awkwardly averting his eyes.

"I mean. . . do you want to do that, but not be on the swings?"

"Huh? What do you mean—"

She didn't need to finish her question, glancing at the swings again only to see a parent lovingly pushing their child forward. Todoroki shifted his feet, his heterochromatic eyes boring into her as her face turned into a bright red. A soft smile shaped his lips and he shoved his hands into his pockets, having already thrown his ice cream cone away. Cute. He thought.
