Shouto Todoroki x Reader: Soulmate AU

This was a request from someone. I can't remember who, I'm so sorry. Also, you weren't specific about what kind of soulmate au, as there are a lot, but I think I picked an okay one. I'm not the greatest at soulmate au's so sorry if this isn't to my usual standard!

AU: any time your soulmate is injured, you feel the pain from the injury on your own body.

Quirk: literally whatever you want, it's not really important in this oneshot

----------

As a child, you'd never liked the concept of soulmates. While you loved the idea of one day finding your one true love, you'd grown to... Pity your own soulmate. You couldn't exactly harbor any hatred towards them, as this kind of pain didn't feel self-inflicted, or a result of regular clumsiness.

You think back to a time, when you were younger. You remember playing outside with a few friends, when you felt a searing, burning pain around your left eye. The pain was so severe you'd let out a scream, and all of your friends looked at you with pity evident in their eyes. Your mother took you home, and on the way there the skin began to prickle with a painful chill right where the burn had been... Apparently, somebody didn't know you shouldn't put ice on a burn. It will probably scar..

But at least then you'll be able to recognize him when you meet him.

If you weren't a child, you would have scolded yourself for thinking such things... But then again, you weren't exactly wrong, were you?

You walked through the halls of UA on your first day at the prestigious academy, and couldn't help but feel yourself bubble with excitement. New school, new people, and a chance to potentially meet your soulmate. But you couldn't seem to find your classroom. So you tapped the shoulder of a guy you saw walking past. He had spikey blonde hair, and as he turned to look at you, he had a scowl on his face.

"What do you want, extra? This better be damn important." He growled out, and so you asked where class 1-A was. He laughed. "There's no way a loser like you is in 1-A.. But, because I want to see the embarrassment on your face when you realize that you're not in the right class, follow me. That's where I'm going." He said, and started to walk to where he hoped the classroom in question was.

After a few more minutes of walking, you stepped into the classroom and looked around for a moment. You took a seat at a desk near the back, and took your phone out of your pocket, going through it to pass the time, until you heard the door again. You looked up, and your eyes widened. A boy walked in, with red and white hair... And a scar over his left eye. You kept your eyes on the male for a moment until he looked your way, to which you responded with a somewhat awkward smile before turning your head to look away from.

Oh my god. If you were right, and he was it, our soulmate was actually pretty damn hot.

He took a seat beside you, and went to begin a conversation with you, but before he got the chance to speak, your homeroom teacher emerged... From a sleeping bag at the front of the classroom. Alright, that's a new one...

He announced that the first thing everyone would be doing is tests.

And whoever failed would be expelled...

Shit.

You did not want to be counted out and expelled this early on.

All of the students went to their respected changing rooms, where they changed into their gym uniform before meeting outside. As Aizawa explained the exercises that the class would be doing, you failed to notice the duel-haired boy from before staring at your lower arm, along which ran a scar from an incident when you were a child. A villain attack to be more precise. Memories of a random, unexplained pain in that spot crossed the male's mind, something which had felt like a knife, or some other sort of blade.

Todoroki was confused.

He had heard of the myths concerning soulmates. How they worked, how you could tell who your soulmate was... But honestly, he'd never believed in it. He was too focused on other things to think about soulmates... But this had him intrigued. He wanted to find out if what he was thinking was correct, so he moved one hand down close to the other, and harshly pinched the back of his hand.

He then watched you wince, glance at your hand, then look towards him when you saw that there was nothing there.

So you knew too, huh?

The tests started, and you both continued to sneak small glances at one another occasionally. Once the tests were all over, and the class was dismissed, he approached you while the others were leaving.

"What's your name?" Was the first thing he asked. You both introduced yourselves, then there was a moment of silence.

Then you took hold of his collar, and pulled him down to your level, before pressing your lips against his.

He kissed back almost immediately.

And you could tell by the feeling of the kiss that you had both been correct. You were Soulmates. The warm feeling from being so close to one another only confirmed this fact. You looked up at him and smiled a little.

"Nice to meet you.. Now I finally get a chance to ask, who's ass do I have to kick for all the pain you've been put in in the past? They're a jerk." You said, and Todoroki had to hold back a laugh. He simply shook his head, as a way to tell you that it didn't really matter to him, which caused you to pout a little.

"Don't worry about it. Let's just head back, we can talk a little more later." He said, and you nodded your head a little before heading back to class again. A small smile was spread across your own face, and you could have sworn you saw a ghost of a smile on his face as well. The Shouto Todoroki was smiling... It appears he was loveable after all.
