You ran into the hall, looking at all the photographers that were scattered about and stressed, how would you be able to make out the one that took a picture of you and Shoto's moment?

Maybe you were going to start drinking. You walked towards the champagne table and pinched your nose with one hand while downing the drink with another. If you could get drunk, you could forget the embarrassment and focus on having fun with Shoto's friends.

" Woah slow down." The one you remembered as Hanta told you, taking your 6th glass. One look at you and he could tell you were distressed about something, obviously trying to drink your problems away.

" Hey what's wrong?" He smiled, and you wouldn't lie to yourself and say you didn't care for his face, his smile added a light charm making you become flustered when you looked at him he was taller than you, like most proheroes, but you didn't really notice until right now.

" You're so attractive." You muttered, gawking at him and reaching your hands forward, like a child asking to grab something, so you could feel your chest.

When you realised what you were doing you wanted to slap yourself, were you already drunk? You thought it would take maybe 15 minutes not 5. You also seemed to forget that you had spent earlier trying to avoid saying your thoughts to heroes and now your mouth seemed to be too loose.

Shoto noticed you straight away, of course he did, you were next to the person he would always find first in a large room. The aura Sero had was astronomical.

He walked towards the two of you looking at your dilated eyes. 

"Y/n are you ok?" He asked, sliding his hand into yours, which you yanked away almost immediately. His heart cried at your dismissal.

"I'm fine," You retorted, holding your head to sober yourself up, " I don't really want to talk to you right now."

"Oh," Shoto answered, he expected you to walk away but you just stared, rasing your brow at him while looking at him as if he was scum of the earth. "You want me to go?"

"Yeh I'm having a private conversation with Hanta," You told him pointing at the man while he smiled awkwardly.

"Yeh ok I'll be with Deku," He accepted, mentally slapping himself for leaving you with his more charismatic friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"She's still with Sero." Todoroki muttered to Shoji and his wife.

(I wonder if his wife is Y/n from ' Tell me Something Dirty' a Shoji x reader filled to the brim with smut)

"Why don't you just speak to her, or I can tell my brother to shut this down and you can go home and fuck," The snake quirked girl hissed.

"We aren't having sex, she's just my roommate," Todorki answered deflated, he had had a few to drink himself, getting tired of feeling some sort of emptiness bubble inside him every time you refused his attention. 

"What the fuck are you doing sulking go to the floor and dance with her if you're so jealous," She says rolling her eyes, she had low patience when it came to Shoto.

"You need to be way nicer," Shoji whispered to her, tugging on her dress, that seemed a bit too revealing for the event, then again she wanted to annoy her brother who was running the whole thing.

"I was literally joking, Todorki knows I'm messing don't you-"

Todoroki had left, already dashing to the dance floor to receive you from Sero and Kaminari. He wasn't one to dance, but if all he had to do was act like the unhinged pair for an evening to impress you, so be it.

He bobbed his head to the music, a little off beat and danced his way over to you. You looked his way and wanted to laugh, he looked so out of place moving towards you with two left feet. You had practically forgot that you were angry in the first place.

His face flushed with embarrassment 'sneaking' behind you and catching your attention by whispering in your ear.

" Are you feeling ok?" He could smell more alcohol on you which was funny since he recalled you saying that you hadn't touched alcohol and didn't plan too ever.

"Just hoping that photographer doesn't publish that picture," you mumbled while dancing.

" Is it really that big of a deal?" He had dealt with numerous paparazzi and whatever lies they spewed never ruined his rep because people just couldn't believe the stoic hero was capable of anything other than being a hero.

" I'm just scared of what people I know will think of me if they see me cosying up to you, they might think I'm a whore, or easy." You whispered back, you had now moved away from Kaminari and Sero dancing in your own corner to discuss things better.

" I will personally make sure no one thinks that," he assured, testing his luck by placing his hands on your shoulders to sway you to the upbeat song.

" Thanks Shoto I appreciate you," you smiled, his chest fluttering. " So what was it that your dad spoke to you about that had you in that conference room?"

He hadn't expected you to ask in such a invasive question but with you he should always expect you to be pushy.

" He spoke about you in a not so nice way and said he wanted a grandkid or something." He watered down. You seemed to get upset easily. Endevour had started the convo off nicely, talking about how chatty you were and how easy going and friendly you were. He gave you an endless list of compliments, then he shifted talking about sex.

It was uncomfortable, Shoto's father never spoke about sex, always reproducing, maybe procreating but never straight up sex.

Endevour mentioned that your father told him the two of you had sex and then started asking invasive questions. Like if Shoto had cum in you and if he remembered not to use a condom sort of belittling his intelligence in the subject of sex.

He then began to do the same with you, saying you were hanging around with other heroes to much when you should be reproducing. Apparently your father had assured him many times that you were aware of your role in life and should have no problem with him trying to conceive at every opportunity. That was the prime reason he had bought you anyways.

Shoto didn't like the reminder that you weren't close to him willingly and had to take a break from the man before he blew up in his face. However spending time with you always seemed to make him forget it always made him feel better and he liked to imagine that you had met under better circumstances.

Maybe you were just his roommate that he had a crush on.

" I thought he liked me," You mumbled, your dancing stopped while you kept yourself in deep thought.

" He does, he said a lot of good stuff about you too-"

" Hey this place is getting boring we're going to Shoji's for the after party!" Sero yelled, placing his hand on your lower back to pull your attention.

His voice was smooth and suave pulling your attention from Shoto with his pretty smirk and wicked eyes. You were so easy going, his hand had snaked itself around your waist and you saw no problem with it at all, also seeing him as close after having such a lovely conversation.

"Is it time already?" You asked, slinging your arm over his shoulder, he nodded his head " Shoto I hope you don't mind I told Hanta I would get a ride to the after-party with him. You should deffo come and get turnt" you poked his arm hoping he would say yes, you guys were making steady progress and you wanted to keep it going.

" Yeh I'll be coming, but I'll be leaving with Midoriya is that ok?"

" Yep," you answered popping the P.

You waved goodbye and Shoto watched in jealousy as Sero whispered something in your ear that made you laugh, it was an embarrassing laugh you snorting and nose wrinkling up, but his issue was that you were laughing and you didn't laugh like that with him.

He sighed deeply, pinching the bridge of his nose before leaving to drive himself to Shoji's wife's mansion.
