love letters | todoroki

day one.

shouto's cheeks still felt extremely warm where you had gently kissed his cheek after he had walked you to your room. the two of you had been out together for an entire ten hours that sunday, but as you bid him goodnight at your door he was suddenly consumed with the feeling that he didn't want to let you go.

he wanted the night to continue, he didn't want the door to close.

not yet...

yet, when you had finally closed the door, his heart hammered in his ears, was he supposed to have kissed you? no, that would be too forward! he liked you sure, but did you like him enough to let him kiss you?

his thoughts were interrupted as the door once more threw open and you planted a kiss on his cheek before giving a shrilly goodnight and slamming the door.

so there he sat in his room, his left cheek burning as if you had burned your lips against his cheeks. how ironic it was his left side too.

without knowing what to do and seeing your goodnight text, he pulled out a blank notebook he hadn't ever used before.

he had become comfortable with writing, ever since he had began to exchange letters with his mother, writing old-fashioned was comforting. it was soothing, it was a release.

without so much as another thought, he grabbed a pencil and began writing.

'y/l/n:

today was our first date. fuyumi says dating doesn't mean we're together but I hope at the very least we might be some day. i'm not really good at... feelings or emotions, and I know you're very aware of that, so i'm writing you these messages. maybe one day you'll read them, maybe you won't. i'm not sure yet. I just know that i've never been as excited about my future as I am now. I just hope it's mutual.

signed,

shouto.'

day forty-three.

'y/l/n,

you hate that I still use your last name. to be honest, I don't want to use it either, but I find the small huff that escapes your mouth when I call you that funny. it's been two weeks now since I let you kiss me, and I think I got the hang of it now. i'm still sorry I bit your tongue as hard as I did that first time, it scared me. today was a good day though, you showed me a film that I honestly can't remember the title. but it was about someone a little broken like me who was able to make something of himself. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it resonated a lot, and I love it. that and watching how interested you were in my reactions were hilarious too. I don't know many movies, but I hope one day i'll get to show you my favorite film, and I plan on watching you the entire time too.

signed,

shouto.'

day ninty-three.

'y/n,

i'm in love with you and I don't know how to tell you.

love,

shouto

p.s. is it weird if I say love shouto? it looks so... strange to me...

day ninty-four

'y/n,

somehow I once again lost out to you. I decided to be blunt about how I love you because doing something that uraraka and mina suggested was... so weird. I don't think having the girls singing to you sweetly outside your balcony and me in a heart of flowers was just so... unnatural. I hope you enjoyed how I choked on my soba noodle as you told me you loved me as if you were telling me about your day. I hope you equally enjoyed how I was unable to speak and burned my shirt half off... you'll owe me a new turtleneck for that.
