My Teacher?|| Tododeku

Chapter 14

"Hey." Todoroki smiles at Midoriya as he enters the passenger seat with his backpack, a small blush already on his freckled cheeks.

"Hi." He responds shyly, like it's the first time they're meeting again.

Without another word, Todoroki pulls out of the parking lot, then the campus and they head in the direction of the teachers home.

"Do you mind if we make a stop on the way?" Todoroki asks without looking over, lightly biting his bottom lip. Midoriya tilts his head and shrugs.

"Sure."

No less than five minutes later they pull into the parking lot of a grocery store. As they both get out, Midoriya looks over with a raised eyebrow.

"Why are we here?" They walk through the sliding doors into the air conditioned building.

"Wanted to do something different for dinner tonight." Todoroki says as he scans the tops of the aisles at the signs that list what is in that aisle. "Ah."

He must've found what he's looking for because suddenly he takes a sharp left turn, grabbing a basket along the way, leaving Midoriya to catch up over tripping feet. Todoroki barely registers Midoriya following him as he goes up and down the rows, grabbing various items so quickly Midoriya has no clue what he's getting.

"Shouto," Midoriya practically whines when the teacher makes another sudden pivot towards the raw meats. "What are you getting?" He walks a bit faster to get to Todoroki's side, peeking inside the basket. Todoroki just hums a random tune, ignoring Midoriya, causing the younger male to pout and give up.

It's not until they're in line for the register that Midoriya is given the chance to really look in the basket.

Rice... pork... dashi stock... bread crumbs...

Midoriya gasps and looks up at Todoroki with sparkling eyes. Todoroki just smirks, keeping his eyes on the line in front of them.

"Are we making Katsudon?!" Midoriya basically bounces to stand in front of Todoroki, hoping to catch his gaze, and he succeeds.

"It is your favorite dish, isn't it?" Midoriya grins so wide he feels his eyes crinkling at the corners. He nods enthusiastically and Todoroki chuckles.

They're both quiet after that. Midoriya feels a bit of adrenaline as he thinks about making his favorite meal with the man he's grown to really adore. The man he's been making food for , but now they'll be cooking together . Wait...

"Will we be cooking together?" Midoriya softly asks and Todoroki looks at him.

"Of course." Todoroki gives a small smile, before it quickly drops. "U-Unless you'd rather not, uh-"

"No no!" Midoriya is quick to keep Todoroki from refuting his offer. "I'd love to cook with you." Midoriya admits, flushing from his ears down his neck. Todoroki gives a half grin and turns forward as he is next in line to checkout.

"I'm glad."

Midoriya helps bring the groceries to the car, then in the house once they arrive at Todoroki's home. They are in sync as they spread out all the ingredients and Todoroki pulls up a recipe on his phone.

Then, they get to work.

As they cook, they make small talk, laughing when Todoroki cracks an egg too hard and it lands on the floor, and when Midoriya somehow ends up with flour everywhere .

By the time it's ready to serve, both are covered in different ingredients.

"I'll wash up in the bathroom and you can take this sink." Todoroki grins at Midoriya as he leaves the kitchen. Midoriya hasn't stopped smiling since they began and he has no intention of stopping now. He washes his hands and as he's drying them, Todoroki re-enters, still sporting the grin he left with.
