Nose Boops (Todoroki Shouto x Reader) Part 2

A/N: Ah, yes! It's what everyone's been demanding of me!XD Finally! And yes I am using that picture again because I can't get enough of how adorable it is.

I do not own My Hero Academia, any of its characters, or the picture.

Your legs gave out beneath you, forcing you to slump to the floor in a blushing mess. Pressing a hand to your chest, you took a few steadying breaths, trying to calm your racing heart. Looking after Todoroki, you laughed shakily. What just happened was the last thing you would've expected from him. 

If your heart hadn't belonged to him already, it did now...

Ever since your close encounter with Todoroki a few days ago, you had been a blushing mess every time he was in the room, your thoughts filled with him and him alone. You tried to tell yourself that you were being ridiculous- he'd only touched his nose to yours for god's sake!- but that little gesture had been enough to make the small, hopeful part of yourself that you had tried to tuck away that much bigger.

You were beginning to think that maybe...just maybe...he liked you too?

No, there was no way. He couldn't possibly like you the way you liked him. He was Todoroki Shouto. Mr. Cool and Aloof. Way out of you league.

...But still.

You could at least hope, couldn't you? And you had heard a few rumors from the other girls so...

Groaning, you tossed in your bed, scrunching your eyes shut as you tried to banish thoughts of your crush from your mind and go to sleep. Your indecision was driving you mad. Should you confess? Not confess?

What would happen if you confessed? Either he rejected you- the more likely outcome- or he didn't and the world wasn't so cruel after all. Being with Todoroki...that was something you could only dream of. He always seemed so far away, but if recent events were any indicator, maybe he wasn't as far away as you had first thought.

But what would happen if you didn't confess? Would you end up waiting for him forever only to be disappointed when some bolder girl scooped up his heart? Would you end up regretting it, lost in thoughts of what might've been had you taken that leap of faith?

Gritting your teeth, you opened your eyes to the darkness of your room, your mind calming as resolve set in. For better or for worse, you would confess to Todoroki, if only to avoid future regret if nothing else.

Taking a deep breath in, a certain heterochromatic, dual-haired teen released it slowly, his ribs shifting beneath his hands laid atop his chest. Staring up at the shadowy ceiling of his room, Todoroki tried to organize his thoughts, but to no avail.

It was a wonder that he had gotten through the past few days without his heart exploding every time you were around. Somehow, he had managed to act normal, like he hadn't made a move on the girl he was heavily crushing on, but he couldn't keep it up for much longer. The high of acting on how he felt had worn off quickly, leaving him a doubtful mess as to how welcome his advance actually was and if he had overestimated your interest in him.

You didn't seem to hate him now, which was a good sign, but you hadn't come near him either, making a ball of anxiety form in his throat at the thought that he had made you uncomfortable or displeased you in any way.

Immediately after booping your nose with his, returning the gesture you had made so often in a much more intimate manner, he had decided to confess to you, and he still fully intended to do that, he just didn't quite know how. Todoroki certainly hadn't had the most loving childhood in the world and affection still scared him, but he truly wanted to be with you, to smile with you whenever you booped his nose in that way that made you so happy. It surprised him to find that he had missed the brief, jolting contact these past few days. He couldn't, for the life of him, understand why, but he had even begun to think that he was special to you, that the second-long contact between the pad of your finger and the tip of his nose hinted at some connection between you and he.
