Smile {Shoto Todoroki x Reader }

Chapter Nine

~ Y/N POV ~

"Oh, hey Todoroki! Me? Injured? Pfft! As if, I'm just a little sore. I uh, hit my side on the table corner this morning. Yea that's it." I gave him a very nervous smile. "Y/N, are you lying to me? If I hurt your, I would prefer to know so that I know what I shouldn't do when training." He walked a bit closer to me, of course I backed up but only into a wall. "T..Todoroki. I swear I'm alright. You didn't hurt me, it was just training, we were supposed to do that." I replied sheepishly, my face growing a little rosy pink. I tried to turn to walk away but his arm flew into the wall blocking my escape.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I thought as I looked up at him, my face was filled with concern and worry. "Todoroki..." I start my face now the color of his damn hair. We're too close for comfort right now, I can't even think straight. He's focused on me...he'll notice my blush. He'll think I have feelings for him! My mind was racing, what is he going to do?! His face is getting closer slowly, inch by inch and my eyes widened, and my heart felt like it stopped.

"Hey look everyone! Todoroki's making a move on Y/N! They're making out!" Kaminari called out. With that sudden yell, everyone in the room turned towards us. With the little strength I could gather I pushed him away from me, and he turned to face towards Kaminari. "We were not doing any such things that you mentioned Kaminari. I would never do that in public and besides, I don't even like her..." Todoroki said, just as cold as ever. That's it, my heart fell and broke in two.

"Damn Todoroki, she's right behind you. You're gonna dub her like that? If that isn't rude, I don't know what is." Sero said, pointing behind him towards me. I tensed up when Todoroki turned his head towards my direction. I felt my emotions giving in, my eyes started to sting, and I lost my smile. "Y/N..." Deku uttered, unsure if he should speak up. I looked over at him and Ochako, who seemed disturbed by the situation that just happened. "I'm going to get ready for the festival, I'll see you guys when it's time to start." I reply, my voice was low with a hint of sadness to it.

I walked away from the room, to the girl's locker room's bathroom, where no one was. I sat on one of the benches and lost it. I hadn't even gotten a chance to let my feelings grow and already I had been shot down from my love high. I don't even care that I couldn't confess, I guess what bugged me was that his words hurt. For the first time, someone's words took away my smile that I wore with pride.

I heard the locker room door open and I quickly stood to go to my locker grabbing my gym clothes from it. "Y/N? Hey sweetie, are you alright?" It was Momo and the rest of the girls from my class. I smiled at them, "Of course I'm alright. It was a stupid comment from a stupid boy. Yeah, I may have had a crush on him but that doesn't matter because I have my girls. Right?" Ochako smiled, "Y/N's right. Boys can be stupid at times and we got to stick together." All I was getting from these girls were support, hugs, and smiles. I love this fucking school. I thought with a smile.

"Well, now girls let's get ready. I want one us to win today. It's time a heroine takes control of the mainstream." Ashido said, pumping her fist into the air. I agree, it's time that even I step up my game and make myself known to the world today. I no longer want to be known as the daughter of All Might, I want to be known as Y/N L/N, a hero in training. I want to be known as the girl who isn't afraid to save lives. With that thought in mind, I grab my clothes and we all change, getting ourselves pumped for the sports festival.

A few hours passed and it was finally time for the sports festival to commence. This is where I personally start to doubt myself and my abilities. Everyone here has the most amazing quirks and has control over them. I still haven't learned how to control my shadow shifting or whatever quirk, I barely know what I can do with it because it's so dangerous. Don't even get me started about the quirk copy that I have, I can use it successfully, but it drains so much from me if I use it excessively. My thoughts were interrupted by the ever so loud and obnoxious Katsuki Bakugou, and his deafening yells at the other students.

Miss Midnight announced the first competition which was a race around the premises. I gave the crowd a smile, boosting my confidence a bit. Then I had a brilliant idea, copy Bakugou's quirk. This would push me farther into the race because he's so powerful. Do it now girl, this is your only chance. I made my way to Bakugou and called out, "Hey explosion boy!" He turned towards me obviously irritated at my remark, "What do you want bitch?" I refrain from making any sarcastic and stupid comment because I don't want to die tonight.

"I wanted to say your speech was totally inspiring. I hope you win today. It'd be nice to show the world we have at least one student here who isn't a complete nerd and idiot." I say, holding back any and all sarcasm coming through my head. He smirks, "Damn right I'm gonna win, now don't waste my time you got it?" I smile and place my hand on his shoulder, "I wouldn't dream of it." With that, A countdown began, and we all took our marks. I'm not going to stop until I win this damn thing, let the games begin.
