Skating (Todoroki Shouto)

Todoroki Shouto x Reader

Requested by: crowtein & rivaillepls

Request: I would love Todoroki x Reader first date!! Maybe to a festival or something; reader is kind of awkward and is surprised Todo asked her out bc she can't believe he would be into her (but of course he is and he's pretty awkward too bc he doesn't want to mess this up) Mutual awkwardness and first date jitters ensue but it's cute and fluffy everyone has a good time in the end. Thank you so much, I love your writing!!!

May I please request a scenario of Todoroki teaching his s/o how to ice skate because she's been wanting to learn but never had the chance to actually try until the opportunity arose. (fluff)

(AN- Combing these prompts since its cute for Todo to take his S/O skating for a first date~)

Your skates were tied on tight, your feet feeling as if they might lose all feeling from the pressure of the tied laces. Your throat was dry, but even so, you found your way down to the ice rink that had a few skaters already out on the ice.

Your eyes waded through the people, locking onto a familar mop of red and white hair that was making his way directly to you. Todoroki Shouto stopped near the entrance to the rink, having spotted you coming closure before you had even manged to find him in the crowd.

You looked at him with a soft blush on your cheeks, matching his own as he looked at you with that same calm, but handsome face he had. He sucked in a breath, looking ready to speak, but your nerves seemed to have made you speak first.

"A-are your skates okay?" You squeaked, the male raising an eyebrow at you.

He had finished tying his skates quickly and wanted to make sure he'd be able to skate on them. He had left you to do a test run while you finished tying your own. Truthfully you were not too happy at first for him to leave you, but seeing as it gave you a minute to calm your nerves for this date... you couldn't be mad. Ratehr revlieved as you were a nervous wreck.

"Yes. I think my skates will work fine." He answered, looking down at your feet. "Are yours okay?"

You chuckled awkwardly. "I-I don't know yet... haven't been out on the ice yet."

"Oh." Todoroki spoke, gulping down the saliva in his throat and the comment he mentally made to himself about saying something stupid.

You shuffled awkwardly infront of him, not sure if you should walk out onto the ice or wait and see if he'd offer you a hand of some kind. But seeing as he stepped back and started to slowly skate off on his own, you assumed you'd have to come onto the ice on your own.

And that was the second thing that made you nervous about this date. Truthfully when Todoroki had told you of his feelings for you and his intentions to take you out on a date if you'd allow him... you were overjoyed. You had long liked him and was grateful for the chance to live one of your dreams of dating the guy who made you swoon.

But... now being here and seeing how you didn't want to disappoint or make Todoroki regret taking you out on a date... left you in a sort of embarassing situation. That being that Todoroki was obviosuly quite comfortable on the ice, seeing as he could skate on it with just his shoes thanks to training with his quirk... but you had never once skated on ice before.

And so, seeing him get further and further away, all the while you struggled to let go of the railing on the rink... definetly didn't help your confience. After all... what if the dual-quirked male was looking for someone who he assumed was graceful. He certainly would not see you as such after this date... that was for sure.

So with a burning feeling of fear in your lower belly and your desire to make sure that you were not some burn out crush... you pushed yourself off the wall. The only issue was that you did it with a little bit of force and speed, thus sending you skating forward with no idea of how to stop.

You were at least approaching Todoroki... but that also meant you were about to embarass yourself in front of Todoroki. So you attempted to play is cool and not show how scared you were of the ice and the blades strapped to your feet.

Todoroki was so lost in his own train of thoughts that it took him a moment to see your rigid body skate right next to him. Your shoulder tight and your arms stuck to your sides as your legs didn't move and inch. In truth he was lost on what exactly he was supposed to be doing here.

He assumed ice skating would be fun and thus broght you here. But now... he wasn't sure what to do. And thus had left you to your own devices, assuming you might know how exactly a 'date' is supposed to work. And that maybe somewhere along the time he wa with you, he'd catch on.

Instead, he was staring at you with bewildeered eyes as you passed him and held onto the railing infront of him with a death grip. He came forward, stopping with ease in front of you and looking at you in slight concern.

You hands were ghost white from how harshly you held onto the rail. Todoroki wasn't always the best at reading social ques, but he knew that look on your eyes. After all, once upon a time he too had been nervous on the ice. And now it seemed like it was his time to help an inexperienced skater, and he was thankful that it was you.

"Give me your hand." He instructed you, a soft smile carassing his features. "I'll teach you."

You looked at him with wide eyes, rose colored cheeks letting him know you might be feeling cold from the ice rink. In reailty... you were embarassed that he figured you out so soon... but he wasn't that good at reading emotions quite yet.

"A-are you sure..." You looked down towards the ice. "I-I'm sorry for making you teach me."

Todoroki shook his hand, reaching forward and taking your hands into his own. He pushed away from the wall, you following after him. He could see you tense up once more, but slowly relax as he started to sway you both back and forth along the ice.

"Relax." He nodded to you. "It's fine. I don't mind showing you."

You nodded, a feeling of boldness coming over you in this moment. And despite how you were fairly certain it would result in your rear hitting the ice, the feeling in your chest was too implusive.

And with a push, you came forward, snuggling up close to Todoroki as he motioned for you both to turn right. It was now his turn to stiffen as he felt you so close to him, your warmth and his intermingling on the cold ice.

"J-just in case I fall..." You blushed. "Because I'm sure you'll catch me."

He nodded slowly, looking froward again. "Of course I would."

You smiled yourself now, starting to feel your nerves melt away. One of Todoroki's hand was still your own and you squeezed it softly. A soft gasp leaving your lips when he squeezed your hand back. Then came the large smile on your face and the rosy color in your cheeks growing into a blooming pink.

Todoroki was left in a similar state, seeing as not only were you getting the hang of the skates, but had also fallen into a sync with his movements. His heart telling him that this meant more then you simply being able to learn new skills fast.

And while he was certain he'd be taking you on many more dates on the future... he also had a feeling that the sensation in his hearts that you were his other half... the one to complete him.. Might also be true the more he got to know you and see that dazzling smile that engulfed your face whenever he was near you.
