Different Than You Think (Todoroki Shoto x Fem!Reader)

27

"Everyone has their costumes, right? Remember, you don't have permission to wear them out in public yet," Aizawa said, everyone standing before him at the train station. "And don't lose them."

(Y/N) stood next to Shoto, holding his hand while nodding at Aizawa.

"Don't forget to use your manners with the heroes."

"Yes sir!" Everyone said in unison, then departing.

When everyone went their separate ways, (Y/N) stayed with Shoto just until they boarded their separate trains.

"So... Shoto," (Y/N) began speaking.

"Yes, (Y/N)?" She received a response from him.

"Are you excited for your internship?"

He paused for a second, trying to figure out how he felt about it.

"It's going to be a learning experience, I cannot say that it is exciting."

"Huh... Well, I'm excited! I get to strengthen myself for the sake of being a hero!"

A few moments of silence passed before she broke it.

"Oh! It looks like my train is here!"

Shoto looked up at the train to notice that it was the same one that he was riding.

"It seems that we're taking the same train. What a coincidence." (Anyone else getting the "what a coincidance" vibes from tik tok? No? Just me..? Okay...)

"Then come on!"

The two boarded the train together, still hand in hand.

"So," (Y/N) began another conversation when they sat down. "What hero agency are you interning for?"

"...My father's." He responded, receiving a shook reaction from her.

"R-really? That's the agency I would least expect you choosing."

"Yeah... Well, I just feel the need to interact with my old man. Also, all those other offers were probably just because I'm his son."

"Wow..." She completely forgot that she was about to tell him who she was interning for.

"What about you?"

She paused for a second, trying to figure out what he meant.

"Wha..?"

He giggled a little at your perplexity before answering. "Who are you interning for? You came up with the topic, wouldn't you tell me?"

"O-oh! Sorry, Shoto... Well, I'm actually interning for your dad as well."

His eyes widened at her answer.

She decided to get deeper into the topic, so she spoke again. "I didn't think that it made sense that he had given me an offer since I had done very poorly in the sports festival. But I'm grateful, so I thought that I might as well take advantage of the moment, you know?"

"Yeah. That explains a lot of this, actually. I was kind of confused of why you had the same train ride as me..." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"At least this means that I'll get to meet one side of the family, you know?"

"Yeah... Maybe we shouldn't mention the relationship thing yet."

"Why?"

"Oh... Just," he paused for a second. "You'll find out eventually."

"Come onnnn~ Can you tell me?"

"Not now."

"Pretty please, with sugar on top?"

"...Fine."

"Yay!"

"But I'm not going to tell you now."

"Awh."

(Y/N) pouted for a few seconds, then realizing something.

"H-hey... Don't you think it's a little weird that Iida-kun is going to Hosu? The same city where his brother was almost killed," she asked, wondering how he felt about the situation.

"I've thought about that for some time. I've been worried about him since that incident. He just didn't seem like himself when he came back."

"I hope he's okay..."
