Deku's POV:
I stared down at my wrist a minute before my 16th birthday waiting impatiently for my soulmate mark to appear. In this nervous state, I covered my left wrist with my right hand and fought the urge to vomit. I tried desperately to act tough like my favorite comic book hero All Might, who's posters covered my entire room, but I failed. I was just so scared of what would happen if I looked down and saw no writing. The thought alone petrified me and sent me spiraling. All the "what if's" cluttered my head and suffocated my senses. "What if no one could ever love an idiot like me?" I said aloud with tears in my eyes.
My green curly hair fell over my face as anxiety slowly took over my physical and mental being. My anxiety attack was interrupted by a phone call from none other than Uraraka, my best friend since we started high school together.
"H-hello?" I answered my voice shaking.
"Deku oh my god did you get your mark yet?!"My energetic friend exclaimed most likely waking up her parents.
"U-um I haven't exactly l-looked yet," I managed to stutter out.
"What?! Why not?! Hurry up!"She practically screamed.
"Okay I will," I said trying to act confident and fearless like my idol.
"What does it say?!" She asked in about 2 milliseconds.
'Oh great now I have to look,' I thought. And with Uraraka's curiosity as motivation I gathered all my courage and removed my right hand from my wrist revealing the letters "S.T."
"I-um it says S.T." I muttered.
"What?! Do you think it's Shoto?" She said referencing one of the most sought after handsome boys at our school.
"What?! N-no way! His soulmate is Momo," I said frowning. 'Wait why am I frowning? I mean it's not like I like him or anything...right?' I thought.
"Something always seems staged with those two..." Uraraka trailed off in thought.
"No way I'm sure he has her initials and she has his," I said pouting.
"Whatever it's getting late and we should be going to bed soon," she said with a yawn.
"You're right goodnight Uraraka," I said suddenly noticing that I was utterly exhausted.
I hung up the phone and changed into an emerald green sweatshirt that read "I'm the purest of them all" and some of my favorite black pajama shorts. I found myself stealing glances at my wrist a lot and wondering about who my soulmate could be. As I laid in bed these thoughts plagued my mind, but eventually my exhaustion won over me and I fell into a deep and dreamy sleep.
Todoroki's POV:
beep* *beep* *beep*
My alarm clock announced jolting me out of my bed. "God damn why does that thing have to be so loud," I groaned while rolling out of bed and unplugging that despicable clock.
After getting up I went straight to the bathroom to brush my teeth and comb my hair. As I sectioned out my red hair from the white I noticed again the mark on my wrist that had appeared a couple of months before. The letters "I.M." stood out in bold letters making it easy to read which didn't help my case whatsoever. Those letters were the initials of my soulmate and I had absolutely no idea who he was. Yeah that's right I said he. I had figured out I was gay a long time ago, but no one knew except for me. Not even Momo, my "girlfriend." I stole a quick glance at the clock and saw I was going to be late if I didn't hurry, so I threw on a pair of cuffed jeans and a black turtle neck with my old beat up red converse that I've had for years.
When I walked downstairs I saw that no one was home. This wasn't an unusual sight, my old man was some big shot lawyer that was never home and my sister was probably at her early morning college classes. So I just shrugged and grabbed all the things I needed for school as I hummed the tune to "This December" by Ricky Montgomery. I hadn't really heard many of his songs but I could tell his music was good. I looked at the time and saw that it was 7:20AM. "Great I'm late," I huffed.
As I grabbed the door handle I couldn't help but notice a feeling of bitterness wash over me. 'Time to put on "that perfect couple" show again,' I thought with dread when I opened the door and stepped out into the cold air.
