Unexpected『Shōto Todoroki』

Christmas Special

Merry Christmas y'all! Since coincidentally the 25th of December is also a Tuesday, I'm still following my usual updating schedule lmaooooo

aNyWaYsSsS, this Special One-shot does not belong in the original story plot whatsoever. Like I said, it's merely a regular One-Shot. So yeah.

Shiro Kurayami×Shoto Todoroki ; modern au : First Snow

-x- -x- -x-

Winter.

A season of pure white snowfalls and shimmering fairy lights. A season of joy and Christmas carols and warm steaming food to enjoy.

Shoto hated it.

To him, winter says a season of cold and bitterness; of harsh storms and dark nights.

He generally despised the season for what had happened during the season.

Winter was the time his own mother poured boiling water on his face because she hated him.

Winter was the time he lost his older brother, Toya and never saw him again.

Winter was basically bad luck to him.

And here he was, walking through the cold wind stricken streets of Musutafu, Japan. His hands shoved in his pockets and head cast down.

He didn't want to stay home and face his father who only ever treated him as an heir more than a son.

So now he walked aimlessly, avoiding all the cheery lights and happy faces of other people. He just walked and walked through the busy streets.

And since his head was cast down, he never noticed a rushing someone in front of him.

The two crashed and fell to the cold pavement in a heap. The person was sprawled on top of him and was groaning.

Shoto grunted and glared at the unknown person, couldn't they watch where they were going?

"Hey, watch where you're running. Are you bli-"

The words instantly disappeared from his tongue, eyes staring at the face that came in front of him.

Long straight hair split in the middle with black on the right and white on the left fell down her shoulders. Short curled inward bangs brushed her forehead.

Mismatched eyes blinked back into focus and stated back at him. One a glimmering amber gold, the other a luminous dark purple.

Shoto gawked openly at her, forgetting what he had wanted to say. He didn't even realise he was still on the ground, whereas she immediately gotten up.

"I'm so sorry! Here, let me help you." An outstretched hand snapped him back, pushing it away and standing on his own.

She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, before shrugging and tightening the scarf around her neck back.

"Right. Well, sorry for crashing into you. But I really gotta go." Circling around him, she grinned and waved before running off into the crowds again.

Then she was gone.

Shoto continued to look back at the direction where she ran. He didn't get to catch her name.

Frowning, he looked away and left. Though the girl with dual-coloured hair was still in his mind.

A week had passed ever since that day Shoto bumped into that girl and had never spotted her since.

By that time, he had forgotten about her as nothing more than a stranger he would see one time and never again.
