Your Hero Academia

Chapter 8: Let the Games Begin!

Today was the day!

For your classmates, not for you.

You slowly walked out of your room still in your pj's and made your way to the kitchen when you noticed a small sticky note on the table.

I had to head out early to finish organizing the event and I'll also have a small meet up with Midoriya, sorry I couldn't eat breakfast with you.

-Uncle Toshinori

You sighed. You were still a bit bummed out about not being able to participate but there really wasn't much you could do about it so you simply shrugged it off knowing you had to be more energetic to be able to cheer on the rest.

He probably didn't even eat breakfast.

You thought, knowing you were the one that would always make it in the morning.

You then picked up the next sticky note on the table.

PS. I'm getting breakfast at school.

Of course.

You chuckled as you threw away the papers and started your morning routine. All Might told you yesterday that it would be fine for you to wear street clothes so you could blend in with the crowd and so you wouldn't bring any unwanted attention towards you.

You closed the front door and headed down the stairs of the apartment. As you kept walking you couldn't not notice the red and white haired boy walking ahead.

You jogged a bit to catch up and tapped him on the shoulder as you spoke up.

"Hey Todo-" He stopped your sentence by slapping your hand away. You immediately held your hand feeling it burn.

"What the hell do y-" Initially he had a hard glare fixated on you but when he realized who he was talking to his expression softened and looked apologetic. "Sorry about that."

"It's fine, no worries." You said as rubbed your hand.

"Did I burn you?" He took your hand in his to inspect it making you blush slightly at the sudden contact.

"No! Don't worry about it, I shouldn't have snuck up on you like that." You retracted your hand. Todoroki composed himself and nodded. There was an awkward silence between you too so you decided to say something, anything for that matter.

"So, can I walk with you?" You asked.

That was a stupid question.

You internally face slapped.

"And what if I say no?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I'd cross the street and walk on the other sidewalk." You answered bluntly. Todoroki let out a small chuckle and for once, he showed a genuine smile.

"We'd better get going, don't wanna be late." You took that as a yes and you two walked down the sidewalk in comfortable silence.

Soon you both reached the school but it was already flooding with reporters at the main entrance. You could see Todoroki was getting ticked off knowing that people were gonna crowd him with ridiculous and unnecessary questions.

"We can take a short cut." You piped up. He looked at you confused as to what you were referring too.

"It'll take us forever to get in through the back."

"But it'll take us a second to walk in through the classroom door." You smirked. "You guys aren't the only ones who've been training these last two weeks." Todoroki caught on and looked somewhat surprised by your confidence.
