"T-Todoroki?!" Midoriya yelped. Of course, the next fantastic thing he needed to happen today was to get run over full force by the boy who he was having an internal panic over. 

"Gah! Midoriya!"  Todoroki's face was beat red.  He quickly pulled himself off of Midoriya and helped the green-haired boy to his feet.  Both boys were a red mess. "I-I'm so sorry I didn't see you!"  he kept looking over his shoulder timidly. 

"No no- It's not your fault!" Midoriya wavered, "I wasn't looking ahead of me either!" 

"You uh..."  Todoroki looked at Midoriya's feet, "You spilled erm- milk..."

"What?!"  Midoriya looked down.  The milk jug he'd been carrying with his other groceries had burst upon impact with the ground. "Shoot," he slapped his palm to his forehead. 

"I am so sorry Midoriya! This is my fault!"  Todoroki's cheeks were still tinted pink. He kept looking back over his shoulder timidly.

"It's alright, I'll just go back and get another one, it's fine really,"  Midoriya assured. 

"You sure?" Todoroki questioned, looking back behind the corner nervously.

"Yeah, and uh... why do you keep doing that?"  Midoriya rose a brow.

"N-no reason," Todoroki jerked his head back around, "Hey um... can I help you get erm... milk?"

"Um... yeah you can come with. Are you avoiding something?"  he Midoriya smirked.

"N-no! Not at all!"  Todoroki stepped around Midoriya, picking up the damaged milk jug.  He strolled over to a nearby trashcan and tossed it inside.

"So you were just running, for no reason? While in your hero suit?"  Midoriya continued to smirk, as he picked up his groceries, hoping they hadn't been damaged. Luckily, he wasn't carrying eggs, though his butter seemed a bit squashed. 

"Fine, I'm avoiding my dad, now can we get out of here?!"  Todoroki hissed.

"You ran away from Endeavor?!"  Midoriya was taken aback.

"Yes of course I am! He'll find me any minute if we just wait around!"  Todoroki said, continuing to back down the sidewalk. 

"Fine by me, but what happens when we get caught?"  Midoriya asked, following Todoroki swiftly.

"Uh... well you didn't do anything wrong so it's not 'we' get caught but rather 'I' get caught." he gestured to himself, "And in that case, I probably won't come out of my house for another week to see the sun,"

"Really?" why did Midoriya feel like this was somehow familiar? Like someone had already told him something like this before?

"Yeah, I'm not allowed out much." Todoroki sighed, "It's ok though.."

"Well, if you needed it I'd come to your house and sneak you out." Midoriya found himself saying.  He looked at Todoroki with a confused expression, as if he had no idea what they were saying.  Todoroki just looked, paled, spooked, something. Midoriya couldn't quite put a finger on it. 

"I-I'd like that," Shoto admitted.

"I feel like I'm having Deja Vous right now, have we had this conversation before?"  Midoriya asked as they sped walked to the grocery market. 

"N-no! Never! Why do you ask-well I mean you kinda said that but um..." Todoroki looked away. "I'll pay for the milk," he claimed as they entered the store. 

"You don't have to-"

"I'm paying for it,"  he stated.  He didn't really leave room for Midoriya to protest.  The two went straight to the dairy section, and grabbed another jug. Once they checked it out, they headed out of the store.
