Shouto waited for Erin outside of the school, the duo made plans to hear to the dojo. Curious of what was taking her so long, Todoroki began looking around.
Once his back was turned, Erin grinned and went running over to him. She leapt up, jumping onto his back to startle him.
"WHaT tHe-" Shouto panicked, before realizing it was Erin. Her legs wrapped around his waist, supporting herself. Her arms were around his neck, her chin resting on top of his head.
"Your hair is soft." Erin stated, a small huff escaping her lips. Shouto's arms went to her legs, which were wrapped around his hips.
"How's the weather up there?" He joked, making sure he had a good grip on her before walking.
"Pretty nice, I got a good view of an idiot-oh wait-" She snickered, lifting her head up off of his head.
"Do you want me to drop you?" He retorted, rolling his eyes. Not that she could see, or anything.
"DO yoU wANt mE TO DroP YoU?!" She mimicked, sticking her tongue out. Not that he could see it, or anything.
Shouto sighed loudly, "Why do I hang out with you? I technically only have to train with you." He jumped slightly just to scare her, which worked.
Erin yelped, holding onto Todoroki tighter. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK-" She squealed, fearing for her life. Since the Dojo was literally a block away from their school, it didn't take long for them to get there.
They walked into the building, Erin still on Shouto's back. "Ha! Maybe this was my secret plan. Making you carry me, so you'll be more tired than me!" She grinned, poking his nose from above.
"Hey kids!" Aramitzu called, getting the attention of the teens. Shouto walked towards their Sensei, who was looking at some papers he was working on. He didn't actually look up yet, he had only heard their voices.
"Hiya Mitzu!" Erin grinned, putting her chin back onto Todoroki's head.
"Are you comfortable?"
"Very."
"Wha-" Sensei looked up finally, a laugh escaping his lips are the two. "Looks like you guys know more about each other than just your favourite colours and ice cream, huh?" He joked around, earning a nod from the children.
Erin leapt down from Shouto's back, a grin on her face. "We had a sleep-over, spent all day at school together, he's seen my actual eyes, my room-aaand I made him carry me here. I'd say we're pretty close for just meeting." She smiled up at Todoroki.
"The news backs up that story as well." Sensei said sadly, a frown appearing across his lips. "Like I promised, you guys can use this place anytime. Even past hours, as long as you guys can close up before leaving." His frown turned into a smile, getting up from his fairly small desk.
"Look, I know you guys are pressured a lot. Don't overwork yourselves, okay? If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to come to me. You can even spend the nights here if you need, just make sure to take care of each other." Aramitzu spoke to the children with sadness in his eyes, it wasn't hard for anyone to tell. The tiredness in their eyes, the news, their drive.
"You guys need each other more than you know," Sensei smiled, bowing his head to the children.
