Different Than You Think (Todoroki Shoto x Fem!Reader)

30

"I-is t-that..?"

(Y/N) cut herself off when she realized how frightening Endeavor was in person. He was so... tall and strong, enough to chuck her out of a window and make her fly into space.

Shoto rolled his eyes at the other Todoroki, not surprised by this entrance.

The three walked back into the pro's office, which had a sort of traditional Japanese aesthetic.

Once situated, which seemed to happen very quickly, the older Todoroki began to speak.

"The two of you are going to be going on patrol with me this week." He began to glare at Shoto in an uncomfortable manner. "As for you, don't pull any shenanigans. And you," he turned his head in (Y/N)'s direction, signaling that it was her turn to receive rules and regulations. "I saw that power out on the field, you've got potential. Just don't fail again."

"Y-yes sir!" (Y/N) was nervous as she spoke, already showing her vulnerability.

"And don't stutter, please. It makes you seem as an easy target." He pinched the top of his nose in disappointment and frustration.

"Yes sir!" (Y/N) avoided the stutter, afraid of what Shoto's father could truly do to her, as he was very tall and muscular, unlike herself. (A/N - I'm so sorry that I just called you a short noodle, but I am too so I can do what I want)

Nothing would really happen that day, there were just people walking around the city. The three didn't end up fighting crime that day, which seemed suss. There was crime a lot and it seemed that there wasn't any as of recently except of reports of the Hero Killer, Stain. He'd almost killed a hero in Hosu city not too long ago, yet Iida had chosen that city for his internship.

It all clicked.

(Y/N)'s eyes widened in realization.

'I-Iida... Went to fight Stain... Because of his b-brother..?'

"Sh-Shoto..." (Y/N) mumbled under her breath, hoping Endeavor hadn't heard her stutter.

"Yes, (Y/N)?" Shoto responded in a monotone voice, as usual.

"Do you think Iida..." She trailed off, getting lost in her worrisome thoughts.

"Do I think Iida what?"

"N-nevermind. I'm just thinking out loud..."

"Well, if you need to talk to anyone, I'm right here, you know?"

"Yeah..."

Some time passed and they had all been given a few stares, squeals, and been asked for photos and autographs. Well, Endeavor and Shoto at least. Nobody knew who (Y/N) was, and not many people asked, but when they did, she would answer.

"Excuse me, who are you?" A random citizen would ask here and there.

"Oh, I'm (H/N)." She would respond.

That's literally it. They wouldn't ask anything more.

"Look for me in a few years on the TV kicking villain's ASSES." Okay, that one was only said once. Did anyone begin to see a resemblance between herself and Bakugou? Definitely, she's gotten more... How would you say it? Arrogant. It was probably Bakugou's fault, but she never noticed it. Shoto had just gotten used to dealing with it.

Unfortunately, Endeavor would hear her cuss. He had also began to notice Shoto's close relationship with her. He still had yet to question it, though.

As night began to fall, the heroes started making their way back to the building that they had originated from since the morning.

"So... What now?" (Y/N) asked, knowing that they needed SOME place to sleep.

"We're going to my place," Shoto answered. It would only make sense since only one of the three didn't live there. And technically, she used to live at the same apartment complex too.

"Alright..."

Nothing was the matter, memories would probably flood back into (Y/N)'s mind from when she lived there, but it wasn't much.

Time skip because I don't want to write much more

"You'll be sleeping in the guest room," Endeavor stated as they walked in the door.

"And where's that?" (Y/N) questioned. She'd never been in their apartment before, it was sure mapped out similarly to her old apartment, but it was very different at the same time.

"It should be down the hall, last room on the right."

"O-okay! Thank you, sir!" (Y/N) bowed, also realizing she had stuttered.

He gave up on the stuttering, it had been a long day and they needed rest.

And it seemed, the next day wouldn't be any easier.

"I'll do anything to make you smile, I just never want to see you cry."
