a pair of dull, blue-grey eyes scanned the large, empty rink with boredom. the cold nipped at todoroki's exposed skin, but because of his quirk, he barely felt it. the boy was hunched over, tying his ice skates clumsily, while his classmates chattered loudly around him.
"it was a good idea to make everyone from class 1-a hang out at the ice skating rink today!" uraraka said happily. "it'll definitely help us bond!"
shoto todoroki could care less about bonding with his classmates. unfortunately, a certain green-haired boy had convinced him to go. however, right as they arrived, he immediately regretted it.
as his classmates started stepping out on the ice rink, todoroki's eyes fell upon an elegant figure. it was [name] [l. name], one of his classmates. while everyone else was clumsily hanging onto the wall or falling, [name] was in the middle of the rink, practicing jumps and spins with gracefulness.
"[name]! how are you so good?!" kaminari exclaimed with awe, as [name]'s classmates gaped at the beauty of her talent.
"i come here a lot! i even used to take figure skating lessons!" the precious girl laughed lightly, her nose and cheeks a soft, pink hue due to the cold. she then turned to meet todoroki's eyes.
todoroki, inspired by [name]'s agility on the ice, took a deep breath and placed one foot on the ice, elegantly skating to the middle.
"todoroki!" an angelic voice lightly laughed next to him. "it's been a while since i've seen you here! guess you're still as graceful as ever!"
todoroki looked down at the female, cheeks heating up slightly at the compliment. he quietly nodded to her.
"thank you. i enjoy ice skating because of my quirk." todoroki mumbled. the boy looked down at his feet, cheeks slightly dusted pink.
"why don't you ice skate with me?"
todoroki warily looked at the [h/c] haired girl's open, outstretched hands. it's not like the shoto and [name] were close friends; he liked to keep his distance from everyone.
however, in a class full of loud and annoying idiots, [name] pleasant nature was surprisingly tolerable to todoroki, on the first day of school at ua.
as weeks and months went by, todoroki realized that he more than tolerated her, he was comfortable around her. although they could not really call each other close friends, todoroki rather enjoyed being around the girl, as opposed to anyone else, whether it was hero training or group hangouts.
at lunches, he preferred to sit next to [name] at a group table. the two picked each other for group objects because they found it easy to work with one another. it was no surprise that even today, todoroki would rather hang out with [name] than anybody else.
"come on!" the girl smiled, cocking her head. todoroki nodded and put his larger hand in hers, and [name] took her place beside todoroki, happily smiling and humming softly as the two steadily and skillfully skated around the rink. one thing he liked about [name] was that she was not one who attempted to make pointless small talk. any conversation with her was meaningful, important, and held value.
midoriya told her that the reason why todoroki thought like that was because he was so fond of the girl, that he thought anything she talked about was important, whether it was relevant or not. but todoroki had simply dismissed izuku's thoughts with a shake of the head and a 'i'm here to be a hero, not form relationships.'
"todoroki, want to do a partner routine?" [name]'s excited, soft voice pulled todoroki out of his thoughts. as the girl quickly let go of his hand, and a feeling of disappointment welled up in his chest. the boy tried to push the unexpected emotion down.
"i guess i don't mind." todoroki shrugged. as long as he would get to hold [name]'s hands again.
[name] went to the rink's control panel. she visited so often that her instructors had given her control to the panel, for when she wanted to practice.
[name] pressed a few buttons, and the lights went off, causing everyone to gasp with wonder. beams of soft purple, green, and blue illuminated the cold and smooth rink. finally, the figure skater put a track into the radio which connected to the overhead speakers, and pressed 'play.'
a soft, sweet song played overhead. the two teenagers started in the middle, slow and elegant. as they separated and skated in figure eights, jumped to astonishing heights, and spun like a whirlwind, they eventually found their way back together, looking at each other with passion and raw emotion in their eyes, as if no one was watching.
her classmates could only watch her with wide eyes.
they finally ended striking a subtle yet beautiful pose, with [name] against todoroki's muscular yet lean chest, his arms wrapped around her waist, her hands gently on top of his hands. His face was near her neck, and as the two felt the warmth radiating from each other's body, todoroki suddenly felt a burst of admiration and fondness for the girl he was holding.
it didn't matter if he came to ua to become a hero. he couldn't deny his feelings for the [h/c] haired girl.
"[name]..." todoroki whispered, resting his chin on her head. "i need to tell you something."
[name] turned around and cocked her head. their hands still intertwined. todoroki's ocean blue-grey eyes looked deep into [name]'s [e/c] orbs with sincerity.
"[name]... it took me a while to realize it... but, i like you. a lot."
"todoroki... i like you too."
the boy felt a rushing feeling of happiness in his chest, one that he had never felt before in all his life. he leaned in and connected his lips to the [h/c] haired girl's lips, showing her all the intimacy and affection he felt for her as their classmates suddenly burst into applause, whistles, and compliments.
❝THE WAY WE WERE SKATING IN SYNC TOGETHER TODOROKI, LETS ME KNOW WE'RE MADE TO BE TOGETHER.❞
