Izuku sought him out first thing Monday morning.

The greenette made purposeful steps toward his desk, taking in his slumped figure and reading the conflict in his mismatched eyes.

"Hey..Todoroki?" He addressed uncertainly

He nodded at him in acknowledgement.

"Wanna go to the dance together?" Izuku asked with a crack of a smile.

Todoroki was surprised. He didn't even know if he still wanted to go to the dance anymore. His head hurt from all the emotions building up in his chest and truthfully, he was exhausted.

He opened his mouth to say no. "I don't-"

"I wasn't planning on going, either" He cut him off resolutely.

At the confused weariness flashing across his face, Izuku's green eyes softened and his voice warmed considerably.

"But it looked like you needed...some encouragement" he smiled sweetly, kind and sincere.

Izuku had always been a good friend, always kind and willing to help someone in need.

He must have sensed his grief over the past week and decided he needed some support.

"And maybe you'll finally figure out whatever's bothering you" he added, his eyes flickered over to the side, and
Shoto followed his line of vision, finding Ochako conversing energetically with Tsuyu and Mina

Midoriya has always been observant.

The green haired boy cocked his head at him, the invitation still hanging in the air between them.

Bakugou's words echoed in his head "You're stupid as hell, half-and-half "

And in that instant, he decided he was done with running away. Shoto nodded decisively at his friend's offer. He was going to the dance tonight, and he was going to figure out how he felt once and for all.
