━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

today was the weekend. the time where most students go out with one another, taking their free time to their advantage.

in this case, you could say (m/n) was doing the same. however, he was doing something most would not be doing on their free day. yes, he was in the gym. training.

(m/n)'s physique was not the best. he didn't have much muscle, since he never really thought he would need it. he had great control over his quirk, so he assumed the water he made could protect him well enough.

however, after having a talk with aizawa, he knew that wouldn't be the case. there were quirks that could limit/stop other quirks. so, what would he do if he couldn't manipulate water?

die, most likely.

so, he's been training vigorously in the gym to grow his build. (m/n) also figured working out may or may not attract a few ladies. maybe even some guys, if he were lucky enough.

anyways, (m/n) had to decline the offer of karaoke night the class was having as he made his way to the dormitories' gym. he would've loved to spend time with them, but paving his way to being a pro hero was more important to him.

"karaoke... why did i pass that up..?" the boy questioned himself, dropping the weights down to his feet.

he scanned around the gym, noticing how it was empty. "maybe..." he then looked to the speaker he brought along with him. "i'll just have a karaoke session of my own."

(m/n) set up the bluetooth speaker and connected his phone, scrolling through a few songs before clicking on one. "nothing gets me going more than a classic katy perry song. and 'eye of the tiger'?? hell yeah..."

he started the song off with mutters, more focused on his exercise than the song. though, when it got to the chorus- well, nobody can resisting fully singing that part.

"I'VE GOT THE EYE OF THE TIGER, THE FIRE. DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE, 'CAUSE I AM A CHAMPION," he would pause his training to put his entire heart into the song.

"AND YOU'RE GONNA HEAR ME ROAR-UH-UH-UH-UH-UH-OAR. RO-" he had his eyes closed, his eyes held out to the crowd he imagined in his hand. though, they shot open when he heard a shuffle in front of him.

there stood a red and white haired boy with a hand over his lips, watching everything that (m/n) had been doing.

"i- i—" he couldn't even speak. suddenly, literal waterfalls of tears flowed out of his eyes. "oh shit– agh!!"

|| timeskip ||

todoroki was kind enough to help (m/n) calm down from the level of embarrassment he was in (he was still embarrassed, just not ad much as before).

"what are you doing here? i thought everyone left for karaoke.." (m/n) muttered, looking down to the ground as he silently lifted the weights in his hands.

todoroki shrugged. "i didn't want to go. and, it sounded like someone was dying, so i came down here to check."

"do you want me to cry again!?" he looked up to glare at the other, taken aback when he saw todoroki chuckle softly.

"sorry, i'm just.. teasing." his head leaned to the side. "it wasn't that bad. i wouldn't have stayed so long if it was."

"so you were there for a long time!?"

todoroki's silence said it all. (m/n) muttered curses under his breath, collecting his items to leave the gym.

"well, i'm done for the day. i'll leave your ears to rest for now, todoroki."

the dual haired boy was silent for a moment, watching (m/n) walking away. "if you want, we can watch a movie before they all come back. after your shower, of course."

(m/n) paused his footsteps. "... sure. i'll see you in the common room." and with that, he left.

todoroki didn't resist the small grin that grew on his face.
