The Girl Behind The Mask

Unknown Feelings

The next morning, Todoroki woke to a bang and a curse. He opened his eyes to see (y/n) was awake. Not only was she awake, she had obviously tried to stand. Tried and failed as she was now face down on the floor. Todoroki got up and offered her a hand up which she took gratefully.

"Where are we?" She asked quietly as if she was afraid of the answer

"My house. It was the closest place that I knew was safe."

She looked relieved. Then concern flooded her face.

"Will you get in trouble because of me?"

"My family are all on a holiday. They will never know." It amused him that after everything that had happened that she was worried about getting him in trouble with his parents.

"Are you sure it's okay? This is your home."

"I'm sure."

After that conversation, Todoroki help (y/n) into the kitchen for breakfast. He had to admit, he was a horrible cook and he went through three batches of rice before (y/n) decided that she should show him how to cook. She also showed him how to perfectly fry an egg. They both sat down silently and ate their egg on rice on toast. It wasn't bad. After breakfast, Todoroki found some clothes that fit (y/n) and let her take a morning shower. Feeling fresh, (y/n) looked at herself in the mirror. Mask in place, she went out to face Todoroki. She had no idea what was going to happen but she knew that he would interrogate her. She would breakdown just like she always did. No one knew the entirety of her story except her and she didn't want that to change. She didn't want others judging her for her past. So she told nobody about it. They couldn't judge her if they didn't know about it. As she stepped out, Todoroki's planned speech fell to shreds around him. He had planned on interrogating her as soon as she got out but as she stood there, wet brown hair falling onto her shoulders, in a baggy jumper over plain black t-shirt and jeans in high boots she look stunning in her own way. His heart was having its own personal rebellion.

"What?" She asked as she noticed that he was starring at her.

"Oh.. nothing it's just... those look good on you."

"Well, thanks."

Was he imagining it or was she blushing. Yep, she was blushing and worse than that, he was blushing as well. Well this is awkward, thought Todoroki and (y/n) at the same time.

"Um.. so, what do you want to do today?" He tried to ask her casually. "I hear that Uraraka has planned a pool party later today. We could go buy swimmers and head there later, if you want to that is..."

"Let's go." Said (y/n) with a smile. Todoroki returned the smile. He really had no hosting skills and that pool party was his only idea for how to entertain people and was relieved that she had said yes.
