blueberry muffins (todoroki x reader)

ch 26

you hop out of the shower with a towel wrapped around your body. you look over to your bed and see Shoto sleeping under your covers (dw he put on his boxers before doing so).

i knocked that boy the fuck out.

quietly, you grab your lounge clothes and head back to the bathroom to change. once you come out, your hair is mostly dry and you hop onto the bed, directly on top of Shoto.

he groans in response and rolls over so that he's now laying on his back. his arms wrap around your back and you give him a peck on the cheek before resting your head on his chest.

"you smell good" Shoto says sleepily. you smile and internally high five yourself for putting in the extra work and applying hair oil after the shower that smells like heaven.

"Shoto?" you ask hesitantly.

"hmm?" you hear Shoto hum. you lift your head off his chest.

"am i... i mean- are we" you stumble over your words and finally gather yourself to finish the sentence, "are we dating?" you feared the answer would not be what you want to hear.

Shoto opens his eyes and looks down at you resting your head on his chest. you have a worried look in your eyes and he feels ashamed that he didn't make this clearer sooner.

"i would like to. of course, only if you want to as well... i really like you, y/n, and i enjoy every second i spend with you" Shoto says, giving you a small smile. he never wants to know what it's like to not be with you. he craves your smiles and sarcastic remarks every second of the day, and you're all he thinks about before he shuts his eyes at night.

you give a sheepish smile, trying to hide how much those words made you blush.

"i would really like that, too" you say and rest your head back down on Shoto's chest. you can hear his heart beating fast. everything you did made his heart skip a beat.

your phone begins ringing so you roll off Shoto to pick it up where it was charging on the other side of the bed. as you moved off Shoto, you hear him groan in protest.

you sit up and rest your back against the headboard of the bed before answering the phone.

"hey Mina!"

"hey y/n! i was just wondering if you want to see a movie tonight with the group? we're going to watch Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse since they're doing a rerun!" Mina says excitedly into the phone.

during this time, Shoto moved his head so that it was now resting on top of your thighs. your hands comb through his hair while his arms wrap around your waist. you didn't realize until now, but Shoto is so needy for physical touch. every time you're near him, some part of his body is touching yours.

"yeah i can totally go. what time are you seeing it?" you ask, hoping she says it's a late show so you can have more time with Shoto.

"it's a 7:30 show so that we can eat dinner before going. you can invite Shoto too! i feel like he has a little crush on you" Mina says, half whispering the last part.

you try to hold back your laughter.

"i don't think he has a crush on me." you laugh while talking.

"girl! you did NOT see the way he was looking at you during the fights. and today at school, he was totally goo-gooing over you!" Mina says, really trying to prove her point.

"alright, alright, i get it. i'll ask him if he wants to go" you both say bye and hang up the phone.

"Mina thinks you have a crush on me" you say while starting to braid Shoto's hair.

"i do have a crush on you" Shoto mumbles into your thighs.

"do you want to go to the movies tonight with Mina and her group of friends? they're seeing Spiderman in theaters" you say, hoping he says yes.

Shoto takes a deep breath in and sits up, your braid sticking straight up from his head.

you try to hold in your laughter, but you can't contain it any longer and you giggle over the sight in front of you. a very sleepy Shoto with his hair messy and a braid sticking straight up.

you move your hands to his head and take out the braid while brushing his hair down to look how it normally does.

"sure i'll go. i need to stop by my house to get a change of clothes." Shoto says while standing up and picking his clothes off the floor. he heads to the bathroom and you roll over to text Mina that you'll both be going tonight.

at 7, Shoto arrived back at your house in his car so he could drive you to the movies. you held his hand the entire way there and only stopped when you were in view of the group.

Sero and Kirishima waved you both over and Mina excitedly handed you your tickets.

"i placed you and Shoto next to each other" Mina whispers in your ear with a wink.

"oh, you didn't need to do that" you stifle your laugh with your hand.

Mina throws her arm over your shoulder.

"anything for my girl, i'm a great wing woman. i read people like a book" Mina says, proudly sticking out her chest.

you wrap your arm around her back and begin walking inside with the group.

"i believe you" you say. she clearly read through Shoto like a book, and he's the most unreadable person.

Shoto and the boys walked in front of you and Mina. you could tell Shoto felt a little out of place, but was trying to fit in with his very opposite classmates.

you and Shoto decided to split popcorn and a drink while the rest of the group also grabbed some drinks and candy.

Shoto, you, Jirou, and Sero sat next to each other while Mina, Denki, Bakugo, and Kirishima sat behind you.

~

the movie was just as amazing as the first time you watched it. you and Shoto finished the popcorn and drink. you always loved going to the movies with friends. it's such a core-memory experience.

Shoto dropped you off at your house and gave you a kiss goodbye before heading home.

Shoto Todoroki is my boyfriend.

y/n l/n likes me back.

those were the last thoughts that crossed yours and Shoto's minds as you fell asleep, both with a smile.
