Kioshi frowned at his older twin brother, Koshiro. He rolled his eyes as his brother leaned closer over Midori Midoriya. The small girl, flustered and rambling, continued to back away until her back hit the wall. Kioshi never understood why Koshiro loved teasing her. Her father was the number one hero, Deku, and Kioshi never felt like it was wise that either of them bothered her. Despite their father being friends with Deku, it didn't make it any better to mess with his daughter. Shoto Todoroki had raised both of them better than that. Their mother, Anna Todoroki, had raised them better too.

Suddenly, Midori pleadingly glanced at Kioshi. Something snapped in him. He reached his hand out, grabbing his brother, and tugged him back away from her.

"That's enough, Koshiro. You're scaring her," Kioshi said flatly.

Koshiro turned back, furrowing his brows. "Scaring her? I'm not scaring her. I'm just flirting with the cutest girl in our class. Am I scaring you, Midori?" Koshiro turned his sultry gaze back to his classmate.

Midori blushed harder. Her freckled cheeks could have matched the exact color of a tomato. "N-no, I mean, yes, but also no. You're being a l-little too forward. I n-need some space to breathe." She ran her fingers through her green curls, a similar gesture that Kioshi connected to his mother when she got nervous. She then pressed her index fingers together, glancing once again at Kioshi.

Kioshi wanted to smile at her, wanted to reassure her somehow, but he was never the social type. He was awkward at best, inheriting that much from his father aside from his ice quirk. He lifted the corner of his lip. He knew it was small, probably settled in the appearance of stolidity to the unobservant eye, but he tried all the same. Midori returned the smile, surprising Kioshi.

Koshiro sighed dramatically, slinging an arm around his twin. The two of them did mostly everything together; however, Kioshi was much quieter than his brother. Kioshi rarely spoke, unless it was necessary. Koshiro liked being the center of attention anyway, and he would say it was the perfect personality for an upcoming hero if anyone asked him directly. Koshiro always encouraged his brother in social situations, but it just wasn't something Kioshi had much interest in, until recently. Once they'd been accepted into U.A., Kioshi had nearly gone silent. Growing up with and having Midori in his class had gotten Kioshi to come further out of his shell. He enjoyed her company, and she picked up on his subtle expressions a lot easier than his other classmates. Unfortunately for him, Koshiro had a crush on her and hit on her every chance that he got. Kioshi felt conflicted about his twin's advances due to the fact he liked his brother speaking for him, but he also felt close enough to Midori to be disturbed when she appeared bothered.

There was always too much attention on the twins. For one, it was because of their Pro Hero father and mother, Shoto and Anna Todoroki, who'd climbed the charts rather quickly as a Pro Hero duo. For two, their quirks were exceptional, and as mirrored identical twins, they got a lot more attention. Koshiro seemed convinced all the attention came from their looks, but Kioshi argued that the other students were as attractive if not more attractive than them. Koshiro waved off his ideas as something that their father would say.
