His Best Kept Secret
Chapter Fifteen

The day of the dance arrived faster than you anticipated. Bakugo and you had remained distant the weeks leading up to the event. Todoroki had made it a point to talk to you everyday.

As you got to know Todoroki, the more your heart seemed to break. His cold demeanor would slightly warm your presences and he constantly brought you small gifts. He flirted with you openly and invited you to eat with him everyday.

Despite agreeing to go as friends, Todoroki made it very clear that his intentions were more. As Bakugo continued to ignore you, you found yourself growing further away from your old friend and closer to the alpha who showered you in constant attention.

You were currently sitting in front of your mirror, applying some make up to complement the dress you chose to wear.

The doorbell rang, making you jump and your body fill with excitement.

Downstairs, your father answers the door, his scowl turning into a surprise as his eyes land on young Todoroki. The boy was dressed in a sleek grey suit with a blue bow tie, his hair was neatly brushed and in his left hand was a dozen roses.

"Hello sir, I'm Shoto Todoroki, and here to pick up your daughter," his cool voice says.

"Shoto...Todoroki?" Your father says slowly, scratching his chin. "Endeavor's son?"

Todoroki nods shortly. "Yes sir, I am also Y/N's classmate. It's a pleasure to meet you," he says politely with a small bow.

Your father smiled; this was definitely an upgrade from that brat next door. "Come in! Y/N should just be about ready."

Meanwhile, in your room, you heard the voices of your father and Todoroki. Standing to your feet, you checked yourself out in the mirror one last time. A small knock is heard on your door and you turn to see your mother slowly open the door. "Oh honey," she gushes. "You look beautiful!"

"Thanks, mom," you smile, doing a small twirl. It was the first time you've ever dressed up for anything.

"There's a boy downstairs waiting for you, Shoto Todoroki?" She asks her eyebrows going up. "What happened to Katsuki?"

You frowned, but you couldn't blame her. You've left both your parents in the dark regarding your school and personal life. You knew your mother was always fond of Bakugo, probably because of her friendship with his mother. It seemed to slip your mind to mention you were going to the dance with a different boy.

"He's not into dances. Besides, Todoroki and I are good friends," You tell her, walking over so she could fix up your hair.

"I'm sure he'll come around," she says warmly, whipping a fleck of makeup off your cheek.

Frowning, you felt your heart squeeze with that familiar feeling of dread. "I don't know if he will mom. I've tried giving him many opportunities. But every time I feel like we take a step forward, he's shoving me back two more steps."

"My sweet baby girl, you are all still very young. Right now, just focus on having fun with your friends. You look stunning," she compliments and you smile back at her.

She walks you towards the stairs and as you begin to descend, Todoroki and your father both stand to their feet and face you.

Todoroki couldn't believe his eyes as he looked up at you. At first, his pursuit for you started as an infatuation, determination to win the right to the only omega at U.A. But the more time he had spent with you, the more he began to see why Kirishima and Bakugo were interested in becoming your alpha.
