"good morning!" y/n greeted the professor as he entered the room. it was the next day, and the two had a newfound enjoyment, a secret.

todoroki's head shot up from y/n's shoulder, eyes darting around, hoping the professor hadn't seen anything. if he did, he didn't comment on it, because he was starting the lesson like he always had.

out of the corner of his eye, todoroki caught y/n grinning from ear to ear, and he sighed in relief, smiling to himself.

he loved this newfound enjoyment. him, laying his head on her shoulder—it was their new thing.

since the party the night before, he'd liked laying his head on y/n's shoulder, and she didn't seem to mind either. he had asked her, using the excuse it's very comfortable so she ( hopefully ) wouldn't find it weird.

and the stares she gave him when he did that were all filled with fondness, gazing at him like she adored him—like what denki said during the party.

y/n wanted to let herself overthink about the stuff that happened last night. at first, she'd wanted to go back and realise how embarrassing everything was. but for once, she didn't. she wanted those memories to remain as happy ones, because she didn't regret making them at all.

"you guys will be graduating soon, so you guys should make nice memories with each other. forgive each other for petty misunderstandings, reconcile and of course, be with the people you love," the professor said and y/n smiled.

oh! she raised her hand, "so we should take lots of pictures?"

he nodded and she grinned, scribbling something down on her notebook. photobooth with denks! she laughed at it quietly, drawing a smiley face next to it and folding the page so she wouldn't forget.

seeing this, todoroki reached over, pen in hand, and wrote something down next to it. she turned to look at him in surprise, and glanced down at her paper.

go with me.

her eyes widened and she looked at him again, mouth hanging slightly open. "all of a sudden...?" she began to say, but was caught off guard when he smiled and rested his head on her shoulder again.

shamelessly. in front of the professor.

"t-todoroki!" she gasped, gaze shifting between him and the professor, who was staring at them in curiosity.

"shouto is fine."

"shouto," she blinked, heat creeping up her neck, "what are you doing?"

"go with me, y/n," he repeated, looking up at her from her shoulder. "i want to make memories with you."

and she had no choice but to nod rapidly, shooing his head away. the professor stood there, slightly shocked, but decided to carry on with the lesson like nothing happened. her heart swelling, she glanced over at todoroki, who was smiling softly to himself.

he caught her staring, and reached over to cancel 'denks' and wrote 'shou'. she grinned at the page. photobooth with shou! nudging him, she asked, "when?"

"i'm always free for you."

"stop."

he broke into a small smile, relenting. "the weekend?"

"...okay."

she took a final glance at him. his eyes, that crinkled at the corners from smiling, his hair, falling perfectly all over his face. his face, cracks all in the right places, resting in the palm of his hand.

he looked like he was paying attention to the lecture, but the undeniable curl of his lips upwards, along with the occasional glance at her suggested that he probably was not.
