lunch

That same day during lunch, flameo joined the three of us as we started talking. I only seemed to remember the names of the people who'd caught my eye, like Uraraka, Midoriya and Iida, so when they kept on calling him Todoroki, I made sure to remember his name.

"May I ask you a question, (l/n)?" Todoroki began, "Why... did you refuse to fight me?"

I placed my fork down, looking back at flameo with a confused look.

"I don't get why the people here are so persistent," I grunted, "You won by default. I mean, you should be glad you didn't have to lift a finger to win, right?"

Both Uraraka and Midoriya frowned while Todoroki looked down at his food.

"Then tell us," Iida proclaimed, "What's your quirk?"

"Why do you wanna know?"

The four of them looked at each other, worried.

"Well," Uraraka began, "Everyone's saying you don't actually have one, and they're all doubting whether or not you do."

"I could care less what others say about me," I declared, "But I assure you I have one. You'll find out soon enough what it is."

I picked up my fork and started eating again, indifferent.

"I only battle people I want to fight with. It's as simple as that."

I remembered that Todoroki was in our conversation just after I said that, and quickly apologized.

"No offense, flameo."

Even though Todoroki kept on being serious, it was obvious he was annoyed by my comment.

"None taken."

I could tell flameo was still mad at me for forfeiting. But maybe one day I'll give in to him and fight him; fare and square.
