Chapter 65 - At times, love is...

Could you really call it a dream when your dream showed you memories you've shared with someone? Michiyo felt sad because she could remember spending almost a whole day with Dabi. She touched her forehead because that was where Dabi left a kiss for her. She felt guilty for feeling happy deep down. She definitely couldn't tell Todoroki about it- 

"Michiyo," Todoroki abandoned his breakfast when he saw Michiyo came out of the elevator. He noticed her eyes were a little red. Was she crying before she woke up? "How much of the last three days do you remember?"

"Um...I don't remember anything at all." 

"I see." He thought he could ask her about what happened when he thought she was missing. Still, it's a good thing she was found safe and sound and she's right here. He smiled a little at her, "Are you hungry?" 

Michiyo nodded almost immediately. "I want to eat Ochazuke." It's a simple Japanese dish. A simple one-bowl dish featuring steamed rice with an assortment of savory ingredients, partially steeped in green tea.

"I'll get tea ready for you."

"Oh-um! I'll go with you. I need to go into the kitchen anyway." She saw how bad he was in the kitchen. She was a little afraid he will use Yaoyorozu's Golden Tips Imperial to make the Ochazuke. She will make sure he used green tea!

"I see. Let's go then."

In the kitchen, Michiyo took out a bowl and the ingredients she will put with her steamed rice. And as expected, Todoroki really did reach out for the Golden Tips Imperial! "T-Todoroki, green tea powder. You can't just use any tea for Ochazuke." 

"Oh. Okay." He moved his hand to the left and he grabbed the green tea powder. "I thought by theory any tea is okay." 

"Ahaha..." Todoroki might be one of the strongest and smartest in the class but there were times where he could be adorable without knowing it.

"Michiyo, you're really different as a five year old. In the last three days, I feel like I saw a different side of you." 

"Eh? Y-you're saying that? Um...I don't know what to say. I guess I was like another Yuuki?" 

"You're very smiley and you love hugs." 

She blushed because she could definitely remember hugging Todoroki like a koala to a tree! Oh God! She could remember using him to heat her drink up to prove a point to Iida! She's shaking slightly because of the utter embarrassment! Why was five year old her doing these things without thinking?!

"I-I hope I didn't trouble you." 

Todoroki thought back to five year old her. He smiled at how she didn't call him Todoroki but 'Shouto'. He thought it was adorably sweet of her. "Michiyo, do you know my Hero name?" 

"Shouto, isn't it?" 

"Okay, so you do remember it. Do you want to call me that from now on?" 

"Eh? EH..." Calling another by given name in Japan was a symbolism of how close you were in someone's eyes. Him and everyone else calling her Michiyo was natural because Ranfa was here and it'd be weird to just call out Sakura and these two look their way. But for Todoroki to ask Michiyo to call him Shouto, it meant to Todoroki acknowledge her as someone close to him and want to close the distance a little more. "S....Sh-Shouto."

"Five year old you called me that with so much sunshine and confidence." 

"But I was five!" 

"Try it again." 

"A-are you teasing me? Ah-! Rice! I need rice! Jasmine rice is good!" 

"Five year old you was pretty enthusiastic about food. You haven't changed, Michiyo."
