"Shoto? Where are you going?" Without turning to face her, Shoto gave his sister a short answer.

"The hospital" he bend down looking at various colours of sneakers, seeing a red one, he took it out of the shoe rack.

"Why do you want to see mom now, after all this time?" Hearing the question, his mind wandered back to the sports festival. Without answering his sister, he slid the door opened and said "I'll be back."

Shoto started on his way to the hospital. His hands plunged in his pockets, he lowered his eyes to the ground as he walked not wanting to meet anyone's eyes. He could hear some kid saying things about how cool the sports festival was.

The voice become smaller and smaller as he reminisce about his mother. How her gaze change to a terrified one the more he grow up, her voice rang in his ears.

"Shoto...his left side sometimes looks very unsightly to me...I can't raise him anymore...No, I feel like I shouldn't" Shoto's mother, Rei said to the person on the other side of the phone.

Seeing the concrete building of a hospital in front of him, Shoto finally raised his eyes.

'Ever since that day, I thought my presence would put pressure on mom, so I never went to see her.'

He stood still for a few minutes to observe the huge blue building in front of him, snapping out of his thoughts, he continue to walked in and asked the receptionist for his mother's room. The receptionist seemed a bit shocked and Shoto assumed it's because of his father's identity.

Walking to where the receptionist had told him, he stopped at room 315. He stood in front of the door, staring at a sign with the name Mrs Todoroki.

'I'm sure she continues to be bound by me....by Dad... That's why, in order to become my ideal hero, I need to see her and talk to her'

Exhaling a breath, he opened the door and saw a woman with her shoulder length white hair sitting on the bed looking through the window.

Waiting for a few minutes, he finally opened his mouth "Mom..."

The woman was a bit taken aback by the familiar voice she longed to hear. Turning around, she gaped slightly at the sight of her 16 years old son standing in front of her.

"...Sho...to..."

Izuku glanced at his watch, 2:11 pm, furrowing his eyebrows, he contemplated whether to call Shoto or not. But before he could decide, a familiar voice spoke out.

"Midoriya, sorry I'm late." Looking up, he saw Shoto taking a seat in front of him.

Without hesitation, Izuku asked him the question he had in mind for the whole time "So, what do you need my help for?"

Shoto, not knowing how to start, he stared at the table awkwardly. Clearing his throat, he answered by saying only one word "Sakura"

Once he heard her name, Izuku smiled teasingly, knowing this will be something he like. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, who would have thought that the oh-so-mighty Shoto Todoroki could show so much emotions? About a girl at that.
