Third Person

-----------------------------------------------------

For the next few weeks, Todoroki and Izuku found themselves spending more and more time together, venturing out on what could only be described as dates. It started innocently enough—an invitation to grab a coffee after work, a suggestion to check out a new ramen shop that had just opened up nearby. But as the days turned into weeks, those simple outings became something more. Each time they met, there was a subtle shift in the air between them, an unspoken understanding that these moments were more than just friendly hangouts.

The first date was awkwardly sweet. Izuku had suggested a small café tucked away in a quiet corner of the city, known for its cozy atmosphere and the best matcha lattes in town. Todoroki had arrived early, his usual calm demeanor slightly ruffled by the nerves that danced in his stomach. When Izuku finally walked through the door, smiling brightly as he spotted Todoroki waiting at a corner table, the tension seemed to melt away. They spent hours there, talking about everything and nothing, losing track of time as the world outside the café faded into the background.

From there, their dates became a regular thing. On weekends, they explored the city like tourists, visiting museums, parks, and the occasional quirky bookstore. Todoroki, who had always been reserved, found himself opening up in ways he hadn't expected. Izuku's warmth and enthusiasm were infectious, drawing him out of his shell bit by bit. Izuku, in turn, was captivated by Todoroki's quiet strength and the surprising gentleness beneath his cool exterior. One evening, they went to a small restaurant known for its intimate setting and exquisite cuisine. The soft lighting and the low murmur of other diners created a cocoon of privacy around them. As they shared a meal, their conversation flowed effortlessly, punctuated by moments of comfortable silence where they simply enjoyed each other's company. The way Todoroki's eyes would linger on Izuku's face, or how Izuku's hand would sometimes brush against Todoroki's across the table, spoke volumes about the growing connection between them.

Each date was a step closer, a building of trust and affection that neither of them had anticipated but both had come to cherish. It wasn't long before their outings were no longer just casual; they were deliberate, thoughtful, and filled with the anticipation of what could be. There was something special unfolding between them, something that made their hearts race and their smiles a little brighter.

As the weeks passed, it became clear to both Todoroki and Izuku that what had started as simple companionship was blossoming into something deeper—something they both wanted to explore, together.

-----------------------------------------------------

As time passed, the connection between them deepened, almost imperceptibly at first. What began as casual conversations and shared laughs during late-night study sessions gradually evolved into something more profound. There was a subtle shift in the air whenever they were together—a kind of magnetism that neither of them could ignore.

Their interactions, once light and easy, began to carry an undercurrent of something deeper, something unspoken yet understood. Each time their eyes met, there was a lingering gaze, a softness in their expressions that hinted at feelings they hadn't yet put into words. The comfortable silence between them became charged with anticipation as if both were waiting for the other to take the next step.
