Burning Ice

Akwardness

Can you smell that?What is that smell?It's kind of gloomy,a bit salty,but not really abrupt.It was awkwardness,absolute awkwardness to boot.I mean doing something embarrassing is one thing,but kissing a girl's neck and then running away a very different type of awkward.Todoroki had been admiring the ceiling of his room for quite some time.It had been 4 years since the...nah nah nah jk,but I got u there.Admiring his ceiling he had realized something that was pretty hard for him.He was scared.Scared of what you might ask,he didn't know himself.What could he be scared of? He couldn't even imagine the outcome of this.Not even a single prediction.
He already considered himself lucky for managing to get himself to his room without encountering anyone,he had prepared a simple dish for himself through his secret mini-fridge supplies and his secret hotpot.What could have triggered his actions? He obviously had accepted that he had an attraction towards Momo long ago,but he had blamed that to his age and his...needs.He trusted her,but...to what degree did his feeling grapple to?Was this beyond attraction?He had already orchestrated a plan on how to convince his father to move him to america to become a better hero,but that would be troublesome.Man how much he wished to be child again.
"That's it!"he thought launching up from his futon.
"I must've been acting playful due to the after effects of my time as a child!"thought out loud Todoroki.He needed to explain this to Momo!He had done nothing wrong,the bizarre events that had ended a while back had to be blamed.
(Man,I am thinking about the plot as I go and man I am fangirling through my own ideas.Why am I so creative in this and I can't write more than 1/4 of a chapter every month in my og story?)

Momo had taken a long hot shower,she made sure to get rid of every drop of sweat that had dried on the surface of her skin.Her shower consisted of 20 minutes of just standing still trying to wash away any memories of the last 50 minutes,even though this had the opposite effect.
She did everything she could to think of anything else.Brush her hair,rub her face with water,make some different knots with the karategi belt,brush her hair some more,arrange the benches in the changing room in different ways,brush her hair even more.She had been playing around in the changing rooms for 2 hours now and had no intention to leave any time soon.At this point; she was trying to perfect her hair brushing technique,standing in front of a mirror and using a handheld one to view her head from to different angles,anything to keep her mind...away from other thoughts,she almost managed to do it,until she noticed something while moving her hair around with one hand and holding the mirror in the other.
A hickey.
She wore her normal uniform,a bit tighter around her neck for some reason and sprinted a bit to her dorm room.After a few minutes she was there.
She took her keys out of her pocket.
Cling-cling.
They made a distinct sound.
She inserted the key in the keyhole.
Vfup~
Another sound as the key slid in.
Clang,the lock opened.
The door made a backwards motion revealing her majestic,although a bit cramped room.
She closed the door behind her,she slowly let the belt of the bag slide down her hand and then fall to the ground.She pressed her back to the door and slowly slid down.Hugging her knees had become one of her distinct actions.Her mind was suddenly stormed with thoughts,her color become a distinct crimson.
"What am I doing?"she couldn't process the situation at all,she had tried and tried again but Momo.exe was only blue screening her.
She didn't know how she felt about this truly.Confused of course...but, should she feel scared?Shocked?She didn't.
"I think...I'll avoid Todoroki for a bit..."she said to herself.
Buzzzzzz.
She heard her bag buzzing,she had a new notification one her phone.
She took her phone out.

"Hey,Todoroki,Yaoyorozu.You two coming to prepare dinner or what?"asked Mina in the group chat.
Why did she have to be stuck with him for all that time?She truly felt lady luck stabbing her in the back.
She obliged with these terms and started changing clothes,of course,she put something on that could properly cover the back of her neck.
She exited her room and walked to the stairs.She entered the common area where most of her classmates were residing at the time.
There it is!That distinct smell again.Akwardness,although it affected only her,there wasn't a reason why too,she just felt awkward being around other people at this time.
"Yaomomo!"said Mina cheerfully.
Momo just gave her a nervous smile,Mina being herself just flat out didn't notice.
"So,what we eating for dinner tonight?"said Mina entertaining the thought of spicy chicken in her mind.
"Well,I don't know,I didn't speak with-"
"Yaoyorozu"said a distinct male voice.
A!A different smell!
This was tension.
It smelled like my mother's burnt toast,which smelled like burnt and toast.
Momo slowly turned around,horrified at the thought of what expression to make.
She saw Todoroki walking towards her.
"Todoroki"she whispered.
"I would like to apologize!"said Todoroki bowing down.
"Huh?"this had caught Momo of guard,but this also caught the attention of their classmates currently in the common area.
"After our training I acted playful,I believe the cause was our time spent together on spring break.So I would like to apologize for my actions"Todoroki was quick witted,but even he realized what he had said only after he had said it.The important thing to note was that their classmate's ear were biting on certain phrases.
"Acted playful"?
"Time spent together"?
Momo's current state would fail to described even by the most talented poet.
What horrific outcome could this have?
