It'll only get better//Todoroki x oc/reader

Chapter 37

As soon as your foot hit the pavement, you inhaled deeply. The day that you and the boys were being released from the Hosu general hospital had finally arrived.

"Ahhh, do you smell that Shouto?" You asked him with a grin on your face. The two of you were in front of the small group comfortably holding hands whilst walking down the long path leading out of the building.

"Are you talking about the air? The pollution in the air? Me!?" He asked seeming to get nervous that you might've thought that he smelled bad.

You shook your head in confusion but still kept your grin.

"What? No silly, I'm talking about the sweet smell of freedom." You sighed taking in the air around you once more, finally, you were able to feel a breeze that wasn't from the AC.

Todoroki seemed to still be confused, more than likely not understanding that it was just a figure of speech. You didn't mind though, he was still the socially-awkward teen that you fell in love with.

You glanced over your shoulder to sneak a peek at what Iida and Midoriya were up to. You noticed that Midoriya was gradually walking at a slower pace as he was frantically writing in one of his notebooks (how he managed to obtain it, you had no idea) whilst a curious Iida was seemingly in a losing battle at trying not to peek at what he was writing down. You smiled warmly at the sight.

"So, we've got three days of our internships left." Todoroki notes drawing your attention away from the two goofballs and back to your goofball.

"Hmm yeah, I didn't think about that." You thought out-loud seeing that the four of you had only experienced two days in your hero internship and spent another two days in the hospital meaning that the final three days of the week were left remaining.

You soon also realised that only you and Todoroki would be able to participate in the last remaining days out of the group that was with you.

This was irritatingly because even though the four of you agreed to let Endeavor and manual have the spotlight of defeating the hero killer, that for some reason didn't stop the higher-ups from taking away Gran Torino and Manual's teaching licenses.

Thankfully, Aizawa didn't have to go through with any consequences due to him having allowed you to use your quirk against any threats that day whilst on the other hand Endeavor, as the 'oh so popular' number two hero, had enough lawyers and power to escape punishment.

Speaking of the heroes, you noticed two cars that were parked by the end of the pavement with Aizawa and Endeavor standing next to them respectively.

You waved goodbye to Midoriya and Iida as they were heading off to the train station with their supervisors leaving the four of you standing there seeing who would be the first to comment about you and Todoroki holding hands.

Aizawa seemed to notice first and rolled his eyes at the sight but still smiled nonetheless. Endeavour, however, lost his composure a bit no longer looking as intimidating as before.

"Ahem, um so are you two, together?" Endeavour coughed out awkwardly.

"Yeah, you got a problem with it, old man?" Todoroki snarled getting defensive on the subject. You rubbed your thumb against his hand which luckily calmed him down a bit but he still remained tense.

"No, not at all. I just wanted to say something to Mitsuki Itō." You focus your full attention onto him at the mention of you which did not help ease Todoroki's nerves one bit.

What happened next brought a surprised yet amused look in your features as you witnessed the Endeavour bow slightly towards you.

"I apologise for underestimating you Mitsuki, I realise now that you are as strong, maybe even stronger than my son. He's lucky to have you as a friend...and um whatever else." He quickly added seeming to forget that you and his son where now together as awkward as that was.
