It had been 10 years since you'd seen your best friend, but you still considered him just that. Despite all the friends you had made since Todoroki left, nobody could ever replace him.
You were now 15 years old and today marked your first official day at the prestigious U.A High School. You were lucky enough to pass the entrance exam, barely getting enough points to pass, but you pulled through in the end with 26 villain points and 30 rescue points, coming in a joint 10th place with another person, but you couldn't recall his name.
When you arrived at class 1-A, you found yourself standing outside for a minute, staring up at the abnormally large door with stars in your eyes.
This was it.
Stepping inside your eyes scanned the room for an empty seat, but instead they landed on the familiar dual coloured hair that you could never forget.
Your eyes widened slightly as he turned his head, eyes locking with yours and you knew right away that it was him. You could never mistake those eyes for someone else's.
Also, it was pretty obvious, who else has red and white hair and two different coloured eyes? Nobody that you knew of that's for sure!
As your eyes scanned over his face quickly, you took notice of the scar around his eye that wasn't there when you were younger and you frowned slightly before looking away, hoping you hadn't been staring for too long. You were 99% sure that the boy was none other than Todoroki Shoto, but just in case you happened to be wrong, you didn't want to seem like a complete creep.
However, Todoroki knew that it was you as soon as your eyes locked, it had to be, he'd never seen eyes quite like yours, they were a deep e/c, but it wasn't the colour that gave it away, it was the fact that he was able to see every emotion you felt as they flashed across your irises. Your eyes still held galaxies, after all.
It had been 10 years since he'd last seen you, but he thought you still looked as beautiful as you did when you were younger and he couldn't help the small blush that spread across his cheeks.
He averted his eyes as the teacher stepped into the room, at least, he thought it was the teacher.
You took the seat that was in the row next to him, but one seat behind and stared at the front in confusion as a man stepped out of a yellow sleeping bag.
'Did a hobo break in or something?'
You thought to yourself, sweat dropping slightly as the man spoke.
"It took you 8 seconds to shut up, time is limited and you kids aren't rational enough."
You glanced around the classroom as everyone just gave him blank stares and you raised your eyebrow slightly.
'I guess he's a pro hero too, since he's obviously a teacher, but I've never seen him before.'
You would definitely remember someone who looks so . . . uhm rugged?
Your thoughts were interrupted as the older male spoke again.
"I'm your homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shouta, nice to meet you."
After that you tuned everything out, your vision focused on the dual haired boy sat in front of you in the next row.
Your thoughts were interrupted once more as everybody grabbed a kit from Aizawa and headed out the room, you following quickly.
You panicked slightly as you realize that you hadn't listened to a word he said, but you caught up with someone quickly, tapping them on the shoulder.
"Hi, uh, what exactly are we doing?"
The girl you'd tapped looked over at you with a smile, her blushing cheeks making her look super adorable.
"He didn't say, he just told us to change and follow him, I'm Ochaco Uraraka by the way!"
You smiled gently at the girl before introducing yourself as you entered the changing room.
"Y/N L/N, nice to meet ya!"
