Point Of View: Todoroki Shoto

Todoroki Shoto, Hand Crusher, Icyhot, Five Weenies, whatever you want to call me, it all refers to the same person: me. The quiet,"emo", duo-haired guy enrolled into 1-A. The titles give a bad reputation, especially Five Weenies. After our extended courses on the Provisional Liscense Exam (PLE), Bakugo Katsuki has spread the nickname all around the school, so anytime my friends greet me, specifically Sero Hanta and Uraraka Ochaco, they'd always say "Hey Five Weenies!"

It's not like a hate the title, but I don't necessarily enjoy it. Cerently, I'm in my room, pouting as I sneeze for the 18th time that day. You see, last night, I was out looking for a book I lost in the snow. I was out there for six minutes until someone, Sero Hanta, had led me back inside. I didn't want to go inside, I wanted to keep looking, but when Sero gave me his scarf to get warm, only then did fatigue hit me like a truck.

And now here I am, even after every desperate attempt to stay warm, I was sick with the cold on a Sunday afternoon. My friends had given me some medicine, and comforted me, other than that, I had been alone. I didn't hate it, I liked being alone, but lately I've been jealous.

Jealous over these two boys. I've tried being friends with Bakugo Katsuki ever since exactly two months ago. However, (attempting) getting closer to Bakugo also ment I got closer to his friend. I had already been friends with Sero, but I've seemed to have growned a liking to the boy. I've found myself fawning over him and staring at him (not sexually). After careful consideration, I've found that I do in fact have a crush on him.

He thinks I like Bakugo Katsuki, which could either be a good or bad thing, I take it as a good thing, sincehe doesn't think I like him romantically. I'm under the impression that he thinks I'm trying to get closer to him in order to get closer to Bakugo.

The main reason I don't want to be sick is because recently Sero has been getting closer to Iida Tenya ever since the project started. The rest you can sort of figure out: I don't want them getting closer because I might potentially loose my friendship and my chance with Sero.

Then there's Aoyama... I don't know what to say about him, I just don't like him. He's almost always around Sero unless Iida or someone backs him off. Even Mineta isn't like that. I don't wanna say I'm jealous, but I am. I get so frustrated whenever I see Sero with Iida or Aoyama, even Kaminari or Kirishima.

Any chance I get, I'd wanna be with him, but I know that I can't come off as clingy, so I try to be as subtle as possible, but it only seems to make him uncomfortable.

However. Especially since last night, he's been super nice. After he helped me inside, he came into my room once.

"Hey, Roki!"

He said, the nickname rolling off his tongue like it was nothing. We chatted for a moment, then he brought up yesterday.

"What kind if book were you looking for?"

He then asked after a while. I spoke up, saying the title to which he just nodded his head and continued speaking. He was always the talky type, I loved listening to it. His voice is like music to my ears, to put it bluntly. To be more specific, his voice, every word he speaks is like a symphony, or a thousand songs as they dance across his tongue. Watching his lips move to analytically makes me want to pull him in by his shirt collar and kiss him until my hearts content.

But I can't.
