next time

It's funny, the way the heart will stubbornly fall for someone you know you can never have.

It's apparent in the formal way he speaks, in the polite cross of his hands while conversing; Shoto will never love Yaoyorozu in the way that she wants, in the way that she needs.

It was obvious in the beginning, of course. Cold, emotionless, brick-wall Todoroki Shoto would never fall for someone like Yaoyorozu. Bubbly, awkward, know-it-all Yaoyorozu. And yet, she couldn't help herself as her eyes followed him unconsciously, as her hand inched closer to his on the bench in the cafeteria.

He always moved his fingers away, just a little bit.

So Yaoyorozu just sits there, indulging in his warmth from three feet away, hands clenching, trying desperately to protect the fragile heart that Todoroki already had in a vice grip.

Next time, next time.
