SHOTO POV

Why is he so kind? I love him so much. He's my everything at this point, there's not a single thing I wouldn't do for this beautiful green haired angel.

We sat of the beach together enjoying each other's presence and the calming sound of the waves crashing onto the shore. Izuku was still sitting in my lap as I drew little circles on his back.
"Sho?"
"Yeah Izu?"
"Can we stay here forever?" I chuckled and nuzzled my face into his fluffy hair.

"You have no clue how much I want to, but you know your mom would kill me if she knew I let you stay out forever."

He sighed and let his head dramatically fall onto my chest.
"I know, it's just so peaceful here..."
"I'll make you a deal."
"Sure!"

"Every Saturday we can stay here." After I said that he narrowed his eyes and starred at me for a minute before he reluctantly agreed. I lifted him off my lap and stood up.
"Okay Izu, let's head back."

"Alrighty, let's go." And with that we walked off hand in hand at around 2 in the morning. We are going to be so tired at school.
TIME SKIP TO SCHOOL

I sat down at my desk both bored and exhausted. I looked over at Izuku to notice that Uraraka was talking to him and it seemed he was too tired to keep up.

IZUKU POV
Too. Freaking. Tired. I love Uraraka but now is just not the time to ramble on about pointless stuff I can't keep track of.

"Hey! Deku can I talk to you outside?"
"Ummmm sure I gu- woah!" I couldn't finish because she yanked my arm and dragged me to the hallway.
"So I've been meaning to tell you something..."

"Okay what is it?" Now I was interested.

"Well I-I like you!"
"Uraraka you have a soulmate and I've already found mine. I love my soulmate very much and although you are my best friend, I'd never leave him for you." Tears started to form in her eyes and I instantly felt bad.

"P-please don't cry! I'm sorry Uraraka, you're my best friend but we just weren't meant to be. Go find this 'TI' and live your happily ever after."

"B-but Deku what if I never find him! I'll be stuck with nobody!"

"Uraraka I'm sure you'll find him, you just have to look." She hung her head and wiped her tears.

"O-okay," she said as she walked away. I took dead breaths before I walked back into the classroom I saw Uraraka talking to a boy with blue-black hair. She smiled as he wiped her remaining tears which sensed to make her blush.

"Okay class we'll be doing group projects on your quirks." I hadn't even noticed the tired yellow caterpillar crawl into class.

"You and your partner will write an essay on how each of your quirks are best used (long distance or close combat) and how you could use your quirks together. This will help you further understand how to use your quirks as well as how to team up with other heroes."

Everyone in the class was excited and wondering around trying to find a parter, but my choice was obvious. I want to be with Sho. As I walked to his desk I saw Uraraka pairing up with the boy she was talking to earlier, they must have hit it off.

"H-hey Shoto! C-can you be my partner?"
"I wouldn't pair up with anyone else," he said with a soft smile.

TIME SKIP TO AT IZUKU'S HOUSE

I was sitting in my room with Todoroki discussing the project.

"Well Izu, its obvious your quirk is close range, but what's mine?"

"Oh! That's a good question! Your ice is better long distance but your fire you're not that good at directing meaning it's mostly useful for melting things at the time being. If you were able to work more at aiming the fire and making it go long distance you'd be almost unstoppable in long distance combat..." I continued to ramble on bit I hadn't noticed. I only realized how much I was talking until I looked next to me to see Shoto laughing at me.

"Hey! That's not very nice mister." I said crossing my arms and fake pouting.

"Hmmm, I wonder what would make up for it... maybe a kiss?" He said playfully wiggling his eyebrows which I couldn't help but laugh at.

"Nope."
"You sure?"
"Yep."
"So you don't want a kiss..." he said teasingly.
"Okay maybe just one!" He leaned in a gave me a kiss that I enjoyed.

"K! Now back to work!" I started back to the laptop before I was dragged back by a oak of strong arms.

"Nope get back here."
"Sho we need to work," I whined which earned me one of his adorable chuckles.

"How about this? We go down to the beach for a while and then I'll stay up and do the work for us k?" I considered the offer even though I already knew my answer.

"Okay! Let's go!" I wrote a short letter telling Mom where we'd be, changed into swim trunks, grabbed Todoroki a pair, and left the apartment. As we walked to the beach I grabbed Todoroki's hand and started skipping making it hard for him to keep up.

"I'll race you there Izuku!"
"I accept this challenge sir," I playfully said.
"Ready! Set! Go!" With that I sprinted off using One For All to increase my speed just a bit knowing full well if I increased it too much Shoto wouldn't have a fair chance. I wasn't the only one with a quirk though... Shoto was using his ice as a boost and was just a foot behind me. Knowing we were almost the the beach he used a bit extra power and sped past me and landed into the sand.

He crossed his arms and declared himself the winner.

"And to think I was holding back on you," I said pretending to be upset. He picked me up and out me in his shoulders and started running toward the water. Once we were deep enough he turned his face toward the beach.

"Ready Izu?"
"Ready for what?!"
"Three! Two! One!" He fell backwards leaving both of us being consumed by the cold water.

"Ach! So salty..." he complained trying to get the salty water out of his eyes. I swam over to him and ruffled his soaking wet hair.

"Your so cute Sho... I love you so much," I said staring lovingly at him. He wrapped his arms around my waist keeping us up only by his legs swimming.

He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "I love you too, more than the world." I believed him because there was such love and sincerity in his eyes. I didn't know someone could even look at me with such an affectionate gaze.
