37: A Naked Guy Beats up a Bunch of Kids

Third Person POV

Y/N smiled, kissing him again, and savoring the way his lips felt.

It was more comfortable than the first time, as that was their first kiss. But now, it was familiar — though no less wonderful.

Y/N he leaned backwards, falling onto his mattress. He lowered himself down as well, holding her jaw as he gently moved his mouth against hers, smiling slightly as she let out a little sigh.

He didn't know he was capable of feeling this way about anyone. He didn't know anyone was capable of feeling this way about him.

Todoroki pushed himself upward, trying to take in everything about her appearance. The way her hair fell across his pillow. The way one of her hands was resting on her stomach. The way she smiled with her eyes.

"You're beautiful." he said simply, feeling his heart flutter as she gave a small laugh in response.

He looked at her like she was art. He was mesmerized, entranced by her.

"Can I...kiss you here?" he asked, brushing his finger against her jawline.

She nodded, and he obliged, planting a kiss right where his thumb had been a moment before. Y/N closed her eyes, turning her head to give him better access.

He left kisses down the side of her neck, taking his time with each one as though it were his last. She combed through his hair with one hand as she looked down at his pensive expression.

"Remember that Takahashi guy during the Licensing Exam?" He mumbled between kisses on her collarbone.

"Hmmm?" she hummed, lazily drawing circles with her finger on his back.

"When he used his Quirk on me, it didn't affect me because I was too busy thinking about someone else."

"And who might that lucky person be?" Y/N asked, a hint of tease to her voice.

Todoroki pushed her shirt off her shoulder slightly, kissing the newly exposed skin as she sunk her head further into the pillow.

"It was you, Y/N. I was only thinking of you."

He moved his head back up to her eye level, his gaze flickering over her face.

She smiled at him, tilting her head slightly.

"When he used his Quirk on me, I was thinking of you too," she said as she stroked his cheek.

"What a coincidence," Todoroki said, kissing her on the tip of her nose.

He then laid down next to her on his side, and she turned to face him.

"You baffle me," he said.

"Why?" she chuckled.

"Because I don't understand why someone like you would care so much about someone like me."

Y/N sighed, rolling her eyes slightly.

"Are you still on about this? What do I have to do to make you understand?"

"Nothing. I don't think I ever will."

He smiled.

"But that doesn't mean I won't accept it."

He put his hand on Y/N's waist and drew her into his chest before pulling the blanket over both of them.

Y/N curled her leg around him and he laced his fingers with hers.

Todoroki was so happy he could hardly think. Y/N was here, up against him and smiling so peacefully. Usually, physical contact wasn't his favorite, but with her it was different. Holding her was like a breath of fresh air.
