Sunrise (Todoroki x Reader)

Chapter 9 - Freshly Baked

Y/n walked along the path to the U.A dorms, breathing in the fresh, Friday afternoon breeze with a smile on her face. She could barley believe that she'd already been at U.A for a whole week! 

Time had really flown by. In between classes and hero training, y/n was starting to feel like she was really in her element. Just a week ago, the idea of training to become a hero seemed so distant... And now here she was, 1 week at U.A under her belt! 

Of course, going to U.A didn't mean she would automatically become a hero. Y/n had watched her classmates over these past days. Their passion of working to become heroes was awe-inspiring to say the least. It reminded y/n of the reason why she wanted to become a hero. More than anything didn't anyone to go through what she had suffered; she wanted to save people.

Whenever y/n felt lost in training, or like she was sure her opponent was going to defeat her, she thought about this and her strength seemed to flow back into her body and she would keep fighting. Y/n realised that all of her classmates shared this kind of spirit; everyone had their own special reason that they wanted to be heroes... Everyone took "Plus Ultra" to heart!

Y/n reached the Class 1-A dorm and started walking up the steps. On the topic of classmates, y/n hadn't spoken to Todoroki for the rest of the week. In fact, she'd barley seen him outside of class. On her morning runs on Wednesday and Thursday she hadn't seen him at all. 

This morning, however, y/n saw Todoroki jogging ahead of her in the distance. She wasn't sure if he'd seen her, but he seemed to disappear around a corner every time y/n sped up her jog a little. 

Maybe it was just a coincidence. Or maybe he's still offended about the whole fire thing?

Y/n looked down in concentration as she continued to walk through the hallway. Suddenly, something wrapped around her waist and pulled her back a couple of meters; y/n's heart nearly stopped.

"Careful, y/n-chan. You were about to crash into the wall, ribbit." said a flat voice belonging to Tsuyu. Y/n saw a wall right ahead of her and then looked down at herself, realising that Tsuyu's long frog tongue was wrapped around her to pull her away.

"Ahhh! Oh god, sorry! Thanks, Tsuyu!" blurted y/n. 

That was embarrassing...

Tsuyu stared at y/n for a moment and then pulled her tongue back in one swift motion.

"I told you to call me Tsu-chan." she said seriously.

"Oh! Y-yes, of course, Tsu-chan!" stuttered y/n, nodding desperately. "Thanks for stopping me."

"Your mind was somewhere else, huh y/n?" Tsuyu narrowed her frog eyes at y/n, whose cheeks went a little pink.

"Oh,... yeah, I guess." 

"Hmmm. Anyway, remember we've got the sleepover tonight at Mina's. I'll see you there, ribbit." Tsuyu turned and headed down the hallway to the elevator. 

Oh yeah, the sleepover! It's at 8, right? What time is it now? 6pm! I should probably start getting ready!

Y/n turned around and headed towards the kitchen area. She wasn't going to come to a sleepover empty handed, of course!

Y/n emptied out the last tray of the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies into a massive bowl already filled with the rest of the batches. She put the tray down and wiped the sweat off her forehead. 

She'd been baking for the last hour and a half; she wanted to bring some freshly made cookies to the sleepover. As soon as she'd started making the first batch, Denki had appeared in the kitchen, curious to see what y/n was making.
