1• Where is she?

It was uncomfortable that the most frequent inquiry during interviews was if he had a girlfriend or what his ideal type was. It eventually led reporters and paparazzi to speculate on his sexual orientation given the fact that he wouldn't blush or stutter when girls blatantly hit on him (unlike his friend and co-worker, Midoriya Izuku).

It began to get obnoxious when even male reporters were harassing him into answering his private life questions when he didn't feel comfortable to do so. Or was it also that he didn't even know how to respond to them ?

He couldn't deny being attracted to females but he didn't behave like his friends, he didn't drool over girls prancing on short skirts nor persistently tried to get a date every weekend. Shouto was more reserved and quiet, he was able to prove to himself he had an active libido but it didn't interfiere with his logical reasoning or his self control.

There was only one person that had been able to make his pale skin flush in a reddish shade and his heartbeat to resonate in his ears. It was his childhood neighbor and first kiss. The only person who could turn his mind into scrambled nonsensical thoughts.

But Shouto hasn't seen her in years, the last time being when he was still studying in the UA and it was such a brief encounter while she was being dragged away by her parents into the car since they were moving out and they didn't give her a chance to say goodbye properly.

Last thing he could remember was her teary face against the car window and her hand stuck against the transparent surface as if trying to reach for him when the car began to move.

And it hurt but he didn't say a word about it, he didn't even share to anyone how he felt a thousand times more lonely after she left. After that, her phone number was deactivated (possibly by her parents) and he couldn't find her in any social media. He tried, Lord knows he tried, even months and years later, he would still occasionally try to look her name up in search engines to see if he could find anything but to no avail.

Whenever he was asked what his ideal type was, the images of her facial features, her shiny hair, her loving smile, all of that came back to him in a flash and it only made his nostalgia grow tenfold.

One Thursday night sitting at his desk in one of his common workaholic all nighters, the now recognized hero flipped through pages and pages of requests and reports in a seemingly endless pile and apparently someone mixed them with his mail as well.

Trying to sort envelopes into categories to disregard advertisements and coupons, Shouto found something that seemed a handwritten letter from... From who ?

Shouto,

I've tried a thousand times to send letters to you but my parents keep confiscating them and the punishments I have received for trying to get in touch with you have been beyond painful.
This time a friend of mine is helping me get this letter out to you and I hope you get it in time.
I'm running away. I was forced to live in a rural area where I wouldn't be exposed to heroes or villains but I was brought against my will, I haven't even been able to study.
I need to get out of here and I have been planning this for months.
I'm so sorry for contacting you all of a sudden but I need your help, I'm going back to our old neighborhood but that's exactly where my parents are going to look for me first.
I don't even know if you still live there and I am scared of not finding you and having to wander streets alone. I know this is crazy but... I have never been the most clever out of the two of us.
Based on my calculations I'm going to be back there the day after tomorrow. Can you find me in the old playground we used to go together after class ?

Yours truly,
(Y/n)

The... The day after tomorrow ? Quickly searching for the date at the top of the letter, Shouto jumped out of his seat when finding the letter was sent two days ago. What if she is there already ? It was almost 11pm and she might have been waiting there for God knows how long.
