My Hero Academia Imagines

Blanket (Todoroki Shouto)

Todoroki Shouto x Reader

Requested by: The Hero

Request: This is a Todoroki and S/O. S/O has been avoiding him lately, only a few casual conversations before she dashes away, and the Canadian flag is confused and concerned. About a month later, he essentially freezes her into a corner after she attempts to escape and he asks why she's running away, but all she says is she can't tell him, but she can show him, and it turns out she spent the last month crocheting a huge blanket. Much fluff, please! :D

Something was up with you, that much he could tell from how as of late... you had started to avoid him more and more. From greeting him every morning and eating lunches together in the afternoon, it seemed you had missed more of these usual habits then he knew at first.

But as Todoroki sat down in his usual cafeteria seat, Midoriya and company spread out across the rest of the table, the half and half male couldn't help but notice how often the seat next to him had been empty as of late.

Maybe you had been busy with homework? Or your internship?

No... you had gone out with the girls last weekend and were hanging out with Uraraka and Tsuyu after school from what he had picked up from sitting at the table near them. So... it was just him you had been avoiding lately, huh? He couldn't help but feel a bubble of irritation rise, causing him to cool his hot tea by accident as he held it in his right hand.

It had been about a month since this entire thing had started and he'd be laying to say he wasn't getting the tiniest bit annoyed the more and more you ignored him. Was his relationship with you on the rocks now? Should he be concerned it would end soon? Did he do something wrong?

He couldn't be sure... but he could get his answer if he went directly to you and asked. And if he had upset you in some way... then he would do all he could to make sure he made amends for it and showed you he still held strong feelings for you.

Getting up from the lunch table went without much of an issue, aside from Midoriya looking up. Todoroki saying he wasn't hungry and had something to go do. The green haired male nodding, having a suspicion it had to do with the empty seat next to him.

Soon enough, Todoroki was wandering down the the halls of UA, searching for the female who had long captured his eyes and heart. Not in the classroom, or training rooms... he was about to call it in when he noticed a club room, usually empty since no one in UA was really in clubs, open and you walk out.

Something in your arms, but the male was unable to see it as suddenly your back was turned to him. He picked up his pace after you and soon enough was right behind you as you started down the staircase.

"Hey." He called out, spooking you immediately.

You spun around with a panicked set of eyes, quickly taking whatever was in your hands and holding it behind your back as you looked at him. You were nervous and panicked it seemed, from how you looked slightly darty and couldn't make eye contact with him.

"H-hey Shou!" You started, pushing on an uneasy look. "N-nice to see you... but I um- have to go! Bye!"

You started to speed walk away, but unfortunately for you, it appeared that Todoroki was much quicker than you. And as you walked down the first flight about to go into the other one to get to the floor below, Todoroki was suddenly in front of you and blocking your path.

His body pushing yours against the wall slightly, your cheeks heating up as he was pretty much kabedoning you in public for all your peers to see. You knew you must have been getting on his nerves for the usually 'aloof in love' Todoroki Shouto to have held you so close and look at you in a way that seemed to say he was not going to let this go until you told him what was going on.

"Why have you been avoiding me?" He didn't waste a second, as usual for the hero prodigy. "Did I do something to upset you?"

You shook your head frantically back and forth, trying to tell the male he hadn't done anything. In fact... he had been perfect, which was why you had made the object on your arms. But, he didn't know it, and it appeared your missing presence as of late had really started to worry him.

"N-no... I'm not mad at all." You admitted.

"Then why have you been so distant?" He urged you further and with a slow huff, you finally decided to bring him into the surprise.

"Well..." You started, tightening your grip on it and hoping to finally work up the courage to show him what you had made for him and him alone. "I'm not very good at keeping secrets or surprises... so I thought it would be best to not be around you so much so I could keep this secret..."

Todoroki rose a brow at you confused by this statement, and then slowly watched as you brought your arms forward. A soft red and white blanket rested in your hands. On the brim, designs of fire and ice were sewed onto it. With a blush, you pushed it into his hands and then awkwardly stood by him.

"I-I wanted to make you something." You flushed, seeing Todoroki hold it in his own arms now. "I had been making it for the last month... and well just finished it when you found me. Sorry, it's not wrapped... but I guess I kept you waiting long enough."

Todoroki blinked, holding onto the labor of love you had crafted for him. His heart pounding in his chest and he tucked the fabric under his arm and then pulled you in close to him. You squeaked softly, having not expected him to outwardly show his affections. But after a moment of panic, you found yourself smiling.

"Thank you..." He breathed. "I love it."

You nodded against him, returning his hug and pulling into the mix of warm and cold that was his chest. You laughed once, head pressing further and further into his UA uniform jacket.

"It wasn't a problem... I just wanted to show you how much I love and appreciate you."

Todoroki smiled softly, squeezing you tightly once more. "You didn't need to... you show me plenty of love all the time. But... this blanket was a nice gesture. And, it'll always remind me of you."

You could only nod against him, knowing no words could express your happiness at this moment. And he knew as well... how lucky he was to have found someone as wonderful and kind as you. Someone, he'd forever love and appreciate.
