My Hero Academia Imagines

Nodus Tollens P.2 (Todoroki Shouto)

"You want to talk?" Todoroki's voice held a tone of disbelief.

"Is there a problem with that?" You smirked back, taking a sip from the glass of water you had helped yourself too.

"Maybe the fact that you broke into my home and are casually sitting in my chair like you're not a wanted criminal?"

"I only want to ask you a few things, maybe answer a few of yours in return. And then we can resume our game of cat and mouse. You can chase me a little bit, only for me to get away yet again, how does that sound?"

"I would much rather arrest you right now on the spot." He flatlined his voice.

"And I have no issue with that if you're capable of doing that... but at least humor me for a moment."

He narrowed his eyes, an internal battle occurring in his form. His left side sternly ordering him to grab the girl and throw a pair of cuffs at her at this moment, she didn't deserve any of his possible good graces.

His right side begged a different issue. Why would she come here and relax if she truly had something important to tell him. She was a criminal and she would face her justice, but maybe there was more to this thief then he thought. A single chance would not be bad, it was called negotiating, right?

He huffed, giving in to his preferred side and sat down across from her on the opposite side of the room. He rose a single finger, his hues of cerulean and silver striking her where she sat.

"You have one minute before I report your location."

You hummed, tapping a finger on his glass. "Why do you try to hard to catch me?"

He rose a brow, as she had jumped into this so suddenly. But this question was rather odd. One he knew the answer to, and she would be a damned fool for not knowing herself.

"You're breaking the law. And it's my job to put criminals such as yourself away."

You chuckled, giving him an amused face. "What a very principled answer. Did you get that from a Hero Training textbook?"

She laughed again, ignoring Todoroki's emotions becoming to become irritated. However before he could speak up she opened her mouth again, a pointer finger touching her chin.

"Y'know what I think it is?"

He remained silent, watching as the cup in her hands twirled and she placed it back down on the table near her.

"I have two theories for why you try so hard to catch me. Theory 1: I've made a fool out of you so many times you've become filled with rage and obsession.

It makes plenty of sense. I'm not a high-class criminal, or the smartest one you've ever faced. Nor the most cunning, evil, corrupt, or daring.... But at the end of the day- I'm the only one you've never caught.

Hell... you caught that Dabi a while back and from the rumors, he was a bit closer to you than me. Yet not even he could escape your arrest. So why am I this special case?

From the tabloids, you are a well-rounded hero, yet this obsession you have formed around me is not a characteristic I would have pinned on you. Which leads to theory 2."

You paused, glancing at him before getting up on your feet and making your way to the kitchen. You pressed the drink to your lips, finishing off the liquid inside with a refreshing breath afterward.

Todoroki's eyes followed you. The kitchen was not attached to the living room, but he would be able to see you from the inside since the wall had an opening on it.
