Todoroki's POV

Not an ounce of sleep last night. Even listening to some sort of music couldn't lull me to sleep. How her face haunted my mind... and that mistaken kiss in the waters. It was a memory I could never forget. Yet it seemed I've forgotten it. The bright screen of my phone kept me up as I opened up (y/n)'s contact information... watching the black light blinking for my text message. 

"What to do...?" I grumbled, shaking my head. I started writing a few sentences... hoping that it'll get to her.

"Hey (y/n)."

Is that too creepy? Probably... it seems to direct. Just meeting her last night... I shouldn't be like that. Maybe a bit formal?

"Good morning, (y/n). About last night...
can we talk about it?"

Gah! That seems would probably frighten her and take things the wrong way. She was just an acquaintance... so why is starting a text to her proved to be so difficult...? The first seemed to be a bit... no... maybe it was a good one. I proceeded to write it down... but instantly deleted it. I wanted to talk to her... what was a casual way to talk to her...?

An idea popped into my head, and so I wrote it down.

"Hey, (y/n), it's me, Shoto." Sent at 9:21 AM

It was... it was now or never. I sent that text... now... 

"I was wondering... if you were free today." Sent at 9:21 AM
"If so... can we hang out this afternoon?" Sent at 9:22 AM

Was it too early to send that text? It is a Sunday after all. Most people would want to stay in bed. Unlike me, I'll do some training before officially starting my day. A few workout sessions in the morning, I was heading downstairs to make myself a bowl of miso soup. 

Ping~

I nearly jumped when heard that noise. Most of Class 1-A were still in their rooms. Midoriya was down in the lobby with... I believe it's Eri. He didn't seemed bothered by the phone noise. It wasn't from his. Kaminari was busy playing some sort of video game with Sero. Same deal with them: weren't affected by the noise.

As a final resort, I checked myself. A small gasp escaped from me when I saw (y/n)'s popping up. A text message from her. Unlocking my phone and opening up that text message, I could feel this smile growing on my face. In contrast with that smile on my face, my heart began to pound as my hand was trembling over (y/n)'s unread message. 

Was she going to accept my invitation or turn me down?

I can't be afraid of such a text... so I opened it. 

"I'm free all day, Todoroki. We can hang out today.
Where were you thinking of going?" Sent at 9:59 AM

I chuckled a bit, seeing that she didn't reject me. I took a small spoonful of my miso soup and began to text her back.

"Well, I don't mind where we go." Sent at 9:59 AM
"Perhaps going to a ramen shop...?" Sent at 9:59 AM
"We can go wherever you want to go for lunch."
Sent at 9:59 AM

I wasn't aware of using my Quirk... but there was no flames at all. My cheeks felt so warm, I could've thought that there was fire igniting on them. I had to cool my body temperature to keep my cheeks from overheating.

"Ramen sounds good right about now.
I kinda prefer something warm after 
my training..." Sent at 10:00 AM

"It's a date then." Sent at 10:00 AM

It didn't occur to me what happened... until after I pushed the sent button. I really... really wrote that down huh? I can't delete it- because she already got the message. I didn't have the power to retract that message. Was it really a date...? I wouldn't call it a date... but I called it a date. What is a date?

"😊 Where shall we meet up?"
Sent at 10:00 AM

This took me back for a bit... where would be a good place to eat out at...? It took me a few seconds for me to think about it. 

"Think you can make it to the gates of U.A.?" Sent at 10:01 AM
"I can walk you to a good ramen place near me."
Sent at 10:01 AM

"Shouldn't be long then. About 7 min.
from now. 
See you then, Todoroki!"
Sent at 10:01 AM

"I'll be waiting." Sent at 10:01 AM

I sighed heavily, finishing up on my miso soup before heading back up to my room to change. This isn't really a date, but... I wouldn't dress too casually. Maybe just a pair of jeans and this dark blue t-shirt... with a jean jacket would fit just well. I then began to wonder about how (y/n) would look like. I just... wonder...
