Cruel Intentions (Todoroki x Reader)

Chapter 5 - Getting to Know You

       After the food festival, you had gone back to the facility. Your room was similar to a pent house. You were located on the top floor and  you had your own bathroom, mini living room space, and a small kitchen that you barely used. The next day you got a surprising visit from Goliath himself.  After taking a shower, you got dressed and were about to take a walk at a nearby park until you ran into Goliath's gut as you opened the door. The mammoth sized man was blocking your exit, cocky grin on his face and his arms folded over his chest.

"Move," you frowned.

"No."

"Why?"

"Because we're going on a little trip today. So grab whatever you need for the day; we'll be out for quite a while," he stated.

You let out a groan. "Ugh I'm guessing I have no choice. Let's just go to get this over with."

"Glad you see it my way, kid."

You took the elevator down to the garage and got into a black car with heavily tinted windows. You were expecting your usual driver to be there but he wasn't. Goliath seated himself in the drivers seat instead and you took the passengers. You buckled yourself in and pressed play on the radio.

"So where are we going, Goliath?" you asked curiously.

"You know you can call me Ryuji, right? That's my real name. Goliath is just my hero name."

"Okay....so where are we going, Ryuji?"

"I thought we can go sight seeing around here. I heard you don't get out much without supervision and since I'm your mentor, I figured this could help you relax around me."

He pulled the car up to a stop. You looked out the window and back at him confused. You had stopped at a local cafe that wasn't that crowded at the moment.

"But first let's eat, I'm starving," he groaned.

You shook your head at him. "You're lucky I had a light breakfast." You were about to go out until you hesitated for a moment. "What if....someone says something? Because I'm....me?"

He raised an eyebrow at you. "You think someone will say something to you when you're walking next to a guy like me? They're probably idiots who deserved to get smacked then."

You stifled a giggle. "Okay, good point."

    With a little more confidence, you stepped out of the car and a chose a window seat. Ryuji took your order of a caramel iced latte and a slice of jasmine cake while he ordered black tea, 4 sandwiches, and 2 omelettes with rice. When he got back to the table with all of the food your jaw dropped. You were shocked to see how quickly he scarfed the food down.

"Jesus, man, slow down!" Just watching him eat all that food made you feel full. "How could you eat so much?"

"Well I'm a big man. Using my quirk requires me to eat a ton so I'm pretty much hungry all the time," he shrugged.

"I guess that does make sense."

    You took a bite of your cake, letting out a delightful hum because of its flavor. It's sweetness reminded you of your time at the food festival with Todoroki. You wish you could call him to hang out but you felt that would be inappropriate. You took another bite of your cake, this time it tasted bittersweet. You let out a heavy sigh and took a sip from your latte to clear your mind.

"Something the matter?" Ryuji asked, finishing up his second omelette.

"Oh, it's nothing," you fake smiled. "Just feel a little tired from yesterday."
