QUIRKY! (MHA x Reader)

Part 8 - Practice Makes Perfect

Ice cream with your aunt and Todoroki...

You couldn't say it was the worst outing ever, but the dynamic was certainly odd. Quiet Todoroki and your flamboyant aunt, and then you trying to be in-between. You were surprised that Todoroki actually engaged in conversation. His calmness was comforting in a way - usually, you had to handle your aunt on your own.

He rarely talked about himself, even when you or Midnight asked about him, but you did take note that he enjoyed ice cream. There was a light in his cool eyes while he enjoyed his sugary treat. It was kind of... adorable?

When you finished, Midnight went ahead to the car and you stayed behind with Todoroki.

"Are you sure you don't want a ride home?" you asked, "You were the one who said we shouldn't be out alone at night."

He grinned, "Hm. You're right. Okay, if it's not too much trouble."

"Not at all!"

Relieved that he agreed, you drove across town and dropped him off. Wow, this was where the Todoroki's lived - where Endeavor lived! It was a handsome home, but even with its size and beauty, something felt empty about it.

"Goodnight, sweety!" Midnight waved from the car window. You groaned, wishing Midnight had some kind of filter.

"(Y/N)?" Todoroki was next to you in the backseat, "Could you walk with me?"

"O-Oh, sure!"

You walked him to his front door, waiting to see what he wanted to say. For some reason, you felt nervous. He stopped and turned to face you. The moonlight cast a white light and dark shadow across his face.

He is attractive, isn't he?

"(Y/N)," he said, "Thank you for letting me join you and Midnight tonight. Is she...?"

"My aunt."

"Your aunt. Interesting," he seemed to mull that over, "Is she your guardian?"

"Yeah. My parents... aren't in the picture. Haven't been for a very long time."

"I'm sorry."

You waved your hands, "It's okay! I was so young when it happened."

Todoroki seemed to hesitate about something. His eyes and smile were warm. He opened his mouth as if to say something but stopped himself. You were shocked when he reached out to rub your arm and kept his hand there.

"I-" he seemed to get lost in your eyes for a second, "I'll see you at school."

You were confused, but nodded, "Yeah, of course. Goodnight, Todoroki."

"Goodnight."

When you returned to the car, you slowly sat into the passenger seat, still in a daze. Your aunt was practically wiggling, "Was there a confession?!"

"Nemuri!!"

The next day, you woke bright and early for the first day of your training with Aizawa. You rolled out of bed and put on your tank top and sweat pants. The mornings were gorgeous, but you rarely got to see the sunrise. By choice - you loved to sleep.

You were surprised your teacher wanted to be up this early, considering he slept through most of his own class. You arrived at the gym where he'd instructed you to go, only to be met with an angry blond preparing a death glare for you.

"Bakugo?" you asked wearily, "You're here too?"

"What of it?" he glowered.

You raised your brows, not prepared to deal with his shit this early, "Nothin..."
