"Ok, two weeks until summer camp. What to do...?" Aiko asked herself, laying on her bed.

"Be a normal teenager and socialize?" Haru suggested.

Aiko rolled her eyes and said, "I am a normal teenager. I don't think anyone will want to socialize with me though."

"Bitch please," Haru retorted.

Before Aiko could reply, her phone dinged. She quirked a brow and checked her phone to see a text, but not from someone she expected.

Todoroki

Gessei, are you free today?

Aiko's heart stopped. Haru looked over her shoulder and started squealing. "MY BABY IS GOING ON A DATEEEEEE!" he exclaimed.

Aiko shoved him aside and said, "I'm sure it's not that."

Yeah, what's up?

My mom would like to meet you, would you
mind coming with me to visit her in the 
hospital?

Aiko's eyes widened slightly, surprised. "I told you it wasn't a date," she remarked.

I don't mind, which hospital and when?

Fujitani hospital at noon.

Aiko checked the time and saw that it was 10:45. "It'll take about half an hour to get there, so I should leave around 11:15 so I'll be early," Aiko said to herself as she got up and searched her closet.

She grabbed a navy tank top and black shorts and put it on. She put her hair in its usual ponytail, did her morning routine in the bathroom, and walked downstairs. Aiko then grabbed a quick breakfast and left with five minutes to spare. As they were walking, Haru was theorizing about why Todoroki's mom wanted to meet her; most of his theories were relationship related. Aiko tried to ignore him, knowing deep in her heart that nobody would ever actually have a crush on her. 

They approached the hospital and Aiko spotted Todoroki walking up as well. "Hey Todoroki," Aiko greeted.

He looked up from his phone and waved. Aiko blushed slightly, seeing that Todoroki was in a nice pair of jeans, white shirt, and a blue button-up. 'Why does he always look so good?!' Aiko thought to herself before smiling, "So how come your mom wants to meet me?" Aiko asked.

"Well she wanted to meet you and Midoriya, but he's busy today so it's just you. And it's because I told her about what you two did for me at the Sports Festival," Todoroki admitted.

Haru pouted, "I mean that's really sweet but I wanted some drama!"

Aiko smiled and followed close behind him. After they checked in and were walking through the halls of the hospital, Todoroki glanced down at the girl beside him. Her pale skin seemed to be glowing in comparison to her dark hair and clothing while her cheeks had a noticeable rosy glow, likely due to the heat. 'Looking at her, you'd never know that she was a powerful hero student...' he thought to himself before turning to face the door to his mom's room. He knocked softly and opened the door. "Hey mom," he greeted. 

Aiko inched in, hiding behind him. "Oh Shoto, it's good to see you made it safely. Are your friends coming?" a sweet voice asked.

Aiko flinched as Todoroki turned so that she was fully visible to Todoroki's mom. "Gessei is here, but unfortunately Midoriya is busy today," he explained.
