Head Canon: Pyrophobic S/O
The One With The Girlfriend Who Fears Fire.
•••
❄️🔥 You were walking around outside, on the grounds of UA.
❄️🔥 You couldn't sleep. You were restless.
❄️🔥 You wanted to go find Shoto.
❄️🔥 You knew he might be awake. If he wasn't he would be fine with you waking him up.
❄ ️🔥 But you couldn't.
❄️🔥 You were caught in the training camp Incident. But it really fucked you up.
❄️🔥 It was bad. You would be dead if your boyfriend, Shoto, hadn't saved you.
❄️🔥 However, you had a past. There was an accident. You fought hard to get past it. But the Incident brought back those memories.
❄️🔥 As well as your Pyrophobia.
❄️🔥 Fear of fire.
❄️🔥 You tried hiding it from Shoto. You feared if he found out it would ruin your relationship.
❄️🔥 Honestly, sometimes he scared you. You knew it wasn't him. Just your fear.
❄️🔥 But this fear. It could ruin everything. You hated it.
❄️🔥 IT would ruin your relationship. Half his body radiates fire.
•••
❄️🔥 Shoto knew you had Pyrophobia.
❄️🔥 He noticed from the beginning.
❄️🔥 Your restless state could probably be from PTSD.
❄️🔥 You were cautious around the fire.
❄️🔥 Candles even.
❄️🔥 If you saw a candle you'd get sweaty, and clammy. You'd say you have an upset stomach, and leave.
❄️🔥 But what hurt most of all, was that he noticed you distancing yourself.
❄️🔥 How when he used his left side you'd shy away.
❄️🔥 It hurt.
❄️🔥 He hated it.
❄️🔥 You were the one who showed him his left side wasn't all bad.
❄️🔥 You helped him through his fear of it.
❄️🔥 Now it was his time to help you.
❄️🔥 He was gonna help you.
❄️🔥 He was gonna help you get past this bump in the road.

❄️🔥 Todoroki showed up at your house with a determined face.
❄️🔥 "Hey,"
❄️🔥 "We need to talk."
❄️🔥 Fuck. This was it.
❄️🔥 'He knows, and he's gonna break up.'
❄️🔥 "O-okay."
❄️🔥 You let him in your house and sit on the couch.
❄️🔥 "I know about your Pyrophobia."
❄️🔥 You braced yourself. 'He's gonna break up. He'll break your heart. You'll wait till he leaves to cry. That's how this will go'
❄️🔥 "I know how hard it must be. Considering you almost died."
❄️🔥 You say nothing.
❄️🔥 "I just need you to know. I'd never hurt you."
❄️🔥 He hesitantly grand your hand.
❄️🔥 "You helped me accept my left side. You were there for me. Now I'm gonna help you."
❄️🔥 You let the tears fall.
❄️🔥 "I'm so afraid of it Sho. My parents died in a fire when I was young. When I almost died at the training camp... It brought all those thoughts and feelings back."
❄️🔥 "Your gonna get past this. I promise."
•••
❄️🔥 Thus him helping you began.
❄️🔥 First, he started by leaving lit candles in your house. Small candles. Like the quarter-sized ones.
❄️🔥 He'd have you light matches. If you were in control of the fire it helped.
❄️🔥 Eventually, you'd get better. With Shoto by your side, you knew you would.
