(Reader x Todoroki) "Miss. Weaker then me" (My Hero Academia Fanfic)

Flashing, Lights

Au: Does anyone know what's going on with the Liberation army arc? I'm honestly so lost but I'm enjoying the chaos!!

I'm planning on having Shoto and Y/n be together for that arc, so i guess this slowburn will span across the anime and not the manga.

Anywaysss, in this chapter I will be quickly scanning over the contents of Season 1 episode 9 (the episode this chapter is based on) so that we can get RIGHT into the League of Villains Attack next chapter.

Y/n's pov

My hero career is over before its even begun.

This morning, at the Gates of UA, an entire HOARD of interviewers and paparazzi and journalists were hounding the students, asking them what All Might was like as a teacher. 

As soon as I walked past, the crowed went silent, and then all hell broke loose.

"IT'S HER!"

"HEY, FLYING GIRL!"

"QUICK, GET A PICTURE!"

A smart looking lady in an expensive looking blouse shoves a HNA microphone at my face and says in an urgent tone: "Will you tell us what happened yesterday in the forest?"

The amount of cameras and people with pens poised to capture every word I say freaks me out initially, but months spent shamelessly begging in a hospital to heal people and then being turned down relentlessly have sort of desensitised me to the public.

"As a UA Hero course student, I'm trying every day to become an even more stronger and better version of myself. Of course, mistakes during training are bound to happen, and that was what everyone...witnessed yesterday. But that is all a part of the learning process to become a better hero!" I give my most charming smile and hold my fist out. 

The crowed genuinely begins to clap and I can see lida giving me a thumbs up from somewhere in the crowed. 

I bow my head and hurry along.

Woah. I can't believe I, Y/n, said that. I can't believe I even strung two words together in front of all those cameras!

I'm making my merry way along to enter the building, when the reporter steps through the gate and triggers UA's security system.

Massive blocks of metal rise out from literally no where and turn UA into something that looks like a prison.

I can't believe I even go to this school.

"Good work on yesterday's combat training." Aizawa sensei says in his signature monotone. "I saw the video and results. Bakugo."

I can see Bakugo's posture stiffen in front of me.

"You're talented, so don't act like a kid."

"I know." Bakugo replies arrogantly.

Among everything, I'm crossing my fingers with sweaty palms that he doesn't mention my training fiasco.

"And Midoriya."

Midoriya full on FLINCHES. Poor kid.

As Midoriya receives his verbal smackdown from Aizawa sensei, I can feel his eyes gradually gravitate towards me.

I immediately look away.

Please. Do. Not. Mention. It.

"I can't believe I'm even mentioning this, but outside of combat training, you are still classmates. So act with respect towards one another."

"Todoroki."

From the corner of my eye, I peek at Todoroki.

He face looks steely as he looks straight at Aizawa.

"Just because you're more stronger than others, doesn't mean you are exempt from basic human courtesy. When your classmate is on the ground, help them up."

He shakes his head, as if in disbelief, and continues.

"You all should look at Kirishima as an example. He saved Y/n from a nasty fall. That,"

Everyone turns to look at Kirishima. He's beaming.

"is what a true hero should act like."

The class erupts in appaulse and Aizwawa looks pissed and signals us to turn it down.

Homeroom business begins as usual. We had to decide who our class representative is, and we all ended up picking Midoriya and Momo.

But, after a particularly traumatic stampede of students flooding the halls due to the press (again.) lida pulled through and helped everyone calm down by telling us it was fine, which made Midoriya give up his position and give it to lida.

Why was everything traumatic?

Twice I got pushed into Kirishima's chest, which I'm fine about, but for an agonising 2 MINUTES I was stuck being flattened right against Todoroki.

For your information, he smells nice and clean. Not like anything though. He just smells clean.

I hope he didn't hear me inhaling his smell.
