{Todoroki x Female Reader} Fallen

Chapter 3: May We Meet?

Your POV

"Is... is this good enough...?" You asked yourself as your fingers began to fumble with your black skirt. When he texted you, you were already out doing some errands. But it was small and you didn't have to return home after getting it. "Hopefully..."

"(y/n)?" You looked up, seeing Todoroki slightly smiling at you. He walked over and chuckled a bit. "Y-You look so... you look well..." He says, taking your hand. "A-Anyways, let's go and to that ramen place."

Your cheeks were flourishing red when Todoroki took your hand and leading you off. There were so many times when you opened your mouth to try to speak to him, but you couldn't make any noise. Nothing came out of your mouth. But when your eyes gazed over to Todoroki... he had this calm expression on his face... but it was a completely different story when it came to his hands. Those were clenched... almost like he was trying to keep himself from doing something.

"How have you been, (y/n)?" 

This time, Todoroki said something towards you, slowly relieving his clenched fists. "O-Oh!" You blushed a bit more as you proceeded to give him an answer. "Ah... I've been well. Actually... I didn't have much sleep last night..." You confessed, sighing heavily as you leaned against him as you settled into the train.

Todoroki chuckled a bit, nodding his head. "Wow, is that so? I'll admit... I didn't sleep much as well."

You didn't think that your cheeks could grow any more warmer than it was now. "I-I see, T-Todoroki..."

The train announcer then announced the next stop. "It's our stop now, (y/n). Stay close to me." He whispers softly towards you. He grips onto your hand as the train stops. He pulls you close as he walked out with you by his side. "You holding onto me...?"

You nodded as he quickly pulls you through the tough crowds. You both didn't catch a break from the crowds until you were up above ground. One thing that you didn't realize was that Todoroki stepped off to the side, and you bumped back into his chest.

"You okay, (y/n)?" Todoroki asks, holding you tightly. "You're not hurt, are you?"

You shook your head, trying to lift yourself from Todoroki's chest, but you wouldn't move. Your hands gripped on his shirt as you nuzzled your head into his chest. Your heart was pounding heavily as you quickly realized you were spending too much time on his chest.

Pushing off of him, you tried to hide your face and stammering some jumbled words. Todoroki simply chuckled, holding onto your hand tightly. "It's alright. Ready to go?"

"Y-Yeah..." You finally managed to say, walking by his side. 

It wasn't long until he led you into a shack. Walking in there gave this ancient smell of ramen. It was so delicious, you almost grew full just by smelling the atmosphere. Todoroki chuckled softly, sitting down at the bar. He pats on the other one, smiling softly. "Here, sit down."

You were both placing some orders, and before they arrived, you tried to pay for the meal first.

"(y/n), please... I'll handle it." He smiled when he said it, but once he realized what he said, he turned his head. "I-I'll pay, okay? I did ask you after all..."

You nodded as you watch him quickly pay first right before the ramen came. Taking the first bite, you couldn't help but notice that Todoroki was watching you eat before he began to eat. It was like he was waiting for an approval of you before doing something. And you never noticed it because it was a slight movement. No one would give a second thought... but he slowly turned his body to the point where he was so close to you.

After the ramen was done, and you two were heading back to the train back to U.A. before Todoroki made a slight request. "Hey... can I... walk you home?"

"W-Walk? Home?" You gasped, hearing those words of his. "U-Um... sure. I-I wouldn't mind it."

Taking the correct lines to your home, which was a small house on the shore, Todoroki didn't stay at the station. Instead, he walked down the streets with your hand in tow. He then quickly asks you a question, almost embarrassed to ask you it.

"D-Do you... want to do this again?"

Your cheeks turned red when he asked you this, but nevertheless, you nodded. "Yes... if you don't mind."

Todoroki chuckled softly, nodding his head. "I don't mind it at all, (y/n)."

"I can't wait until the next one, Todoroki."

He stops in front of your house, nearly blushing. "You don't need to call me that... just call me Shoto. Just like I call you (y/n)."

Once more you blushed as he held your hand tightly. "Okay... Todo- I mean, Shoto."

Todoroki then leans forward, kissing your forehead before taking a step back. "I'll see you... soon... okay?"

You nodded, walking back into your house. Before you closed the door behind you, you waved to Todoroki, which he was still standing where he was. Once you closed the door, Todoroki stays for a few more seconds before returning back to the train station. 

Now, you were looking forward to meeting that Todoroki again.
