Villain or not, I love you..~

Familiar Warmth - Ch 14

Todoroki's POV
I flinched at the question, and I'm pretty sure Izuka noticed because she began to apologize for asking.

I sighed at her apologies and stuffed a cookie in her mouth. She glared at me and bit the cookie in half.
"As I was saying.." she finished the cookie, "I'm sorry if you don't like talking about it, I shouldn't have just bluntly asked that..!" She put her hands in front of her.

"No no it's okay..You told me about your scars so I suppose it's only fair." She nodded and waited for me to begin. I shakily sighed and decided I would keep it short, leaving just a few details.

"Well like I said before in my brief explanation, I went to UA, and was going to be a hero. However, being a hero takes lot of training. My ngh.."

I wanted to throw up just thinking about him.

"My uh father thought I had a strong quirk from a very young age, and decided to train me himself. His idea of training though, pfft, it was just plain abuse!!" I began to laugh, I had to stop myself after seeing the greenettes worried features.

"My mother and f-fathers marriage contained barely any love. But if it did, it was long gone by the time I came around and got my quirk. Anyways, one night my mom was on the phone talking to her own mother, and I unfortunately happened to be there. She mentioned that my left side was unbearable and looked more and more like my fathers everyday, right before pouring boiling water over my face. In attempt to help me just seconds later, she activated her ice quirk, but you're not really suppose to apply ice directly to a burn soo...Yeah." I shrugged and looked back to met with big glossy green eyes.

Her lip began to quiver, as tears threatened to spill from her eyes. "Hey no need to cry, I'm okay, and you are too right?" I gently brushed away the forming tears and placed my hand on her cheek.

"Do you still talk with your mom? Or at least letters?" Her eyes went from my hand back to me.

"Well 1, I'm a villain so I'm not sure that would really work out..2, she actually died already." I slowly slipped my hand off her freckled face and looked down at my now frost covered coffee.

'I still get jitters whenever I talk about her huh..'

"I'm sorry Sho, or um Todoroki...I maybe should've just let you keep that to yourself, and I'm kinda dumb for not thinking about the villain thing again." She scratched at cheek then looked back at me.

"Also should I call you Sho still Todoroki? Oh or maybe Shocchan still?? What about Todo, or Todoroki-kun..? Or just Shoto? I could come up with a new nickname if you want! Hmm...Red and White would make pink....Nah that isn't a good name..Strawberry Sho?? Ha that just sounds dumb-!" I let her ramble about what name to call me by, only to realize I was almost in a trance.

Each freckle was placed to perfection, they almost looked like little stars dusted over her cheeks and small nose. The way her nosed scrunched up when she was mumbling or insulting someone, heh that was cute..Her eyebrows furrowing as she only thought harder, and her eyes. Anyone could easily get lost in those big emerald eyes. Always filled with stars and gold sparks of curiosity, happiness. Her smile. Shit...Her smile was brighter than the sun and she could easily lighten up anyone's day. Even her sassy grin could make anyone laugh-

"So what do you think?- Uh Shocchan??"

It took me a moment to realize that I was slowly leaning closer to her small figure. I could feel the warmth she was radiating from that small body of hers. I could hear fuzzy soft words coming from the girl, but i was in my own mind. I felt myself leaning closer and closer, not being able to stop.
