Todoroki's POV

I was already at the mall around 3:45. As I was walking towards the cafe, I passed by a vintage gift shop and there I saw a small hedgehog stuffed toy that reminded me of someone. Yes you're right, it reminded me of Yaoyorozu.

I remembered back when we were shopping before the field trip, I noticed that she bought a hedgehog printed towel (Chapter 3)

I remembered back when we were shopping before the field trip, I noticed that she bought a hedgehog printed towel (Chapter 3).

"Should I buy it for her?" I was staring at the stuffed toy for a while, debating to myself whether or not to buy it. I took a step towards the vintage store but my phone beeped.

"Akari..."

Akari: Hey Sho! I'm already here at the cafe. I can't help but to come a little early, I was reaaallyy excited! Hehe see ya! <3

I think I'll just buy it next time, I should probably go now.

Time skip: At the cafe

The chime bells at the cafe door rang as I entered the store. A strong aroma of coffee filled the place. The workers bowed at me and I greeted them back with a small bow.

"Shotoo!!" I heard a feminine voice called my name, it must be her.

I saw her as she waved at me wildly.

"Hey" I said as I approached her, but I was surprised to see her ran towards me and gave me a hug. I didn't respond to her hug, I didn't hug her back. I was awkward with these kind of gestures.

"I missed you! It's been years since the last time I saw you." she held my arms as she pulled away "You looked really great."

"Thanks, you too." I smiled at her awkwardly.

"Soo... how are you?" Akari asked me as she scans the menu in front of her.

"I'm fine, but things went worse ever since Touya ran away from home. That's why I wanted to talk to you, I have lots of questions about Touya."

Her jaw dropped after I mentioned Touya. Her once cheerful face is now somehow dimmed with shock.

"W-wait... you came here just to ask about Touya?"

I nodded

"I t-thought you're gonna ask me out, like ask me to be your girlfriend or something."

"Why would you think that?" I was surprised with what she said

"Shoto..." She lowered down her head as she continued to speak "Ever since we were children, I know that I liked you but you were too oblivious to know it. That's why when Endeavor called me-"

"Wait, Endeavor called you?"

She nodded

"What did he say?"

"He told me that he has plans, for us." She said sadly "That's why I thought you liked me, but I guess I was wrong." She let out an awkward smile before rubbing the back of her neck. I gripped my hands in anger, not for Akari but for the old man who gave her false hope.

"I'm sorry-"

"No" Akari shook her head with a forced smile in her face "This is not your fault Shoto, I should've known. Ever since we were kids, you only see me as a friend, and you're a guy who puts all his time and focus on being a hero and a good student. I know you're not into all this lovey dovey things." Akari lifted his head to face me "But if ever, if ever you meet someone who will be lucky enough to touch your heart. I genuinely hope for all the best."

"Akari..."

Yaoyorozu's POV

I looked at my phone, It's already 4 o' clock. Damn, I wonder what Todoroki's doing right now. I wonder if he's having a good time with his girlfriend.

I jumped out of my bed to finally get ready for my date with Takenaga. To be honest, I would just like to just lay down at my bed for the next few hours, but I can't 'cause I have already agreed with Takenaga.

I combed my hair and just let it down. I wore this black dress with a lace sleeves and black ribbon. I also wore a black heels that will match it.

I do hope that I do not overdress.

I was walking towards the door passing the common area when I heard Jirou called my name. I know that she's against this date.

"Momo, please think about this first."

"I did, and I'm going, Jirou. I'll just call you if anything goes wrong." I said as I smile at her. Jirou smiled as she rolled her eyes.

"Fine. Be careful Momo."

"Yeah I will, bye Jirou!" I bowed at her and left.

Jirou's POV

This just feels wrong. I tried my best not to worry but I can't help it. I reached for my phone in my pocket, my phone rang against my ears.

"Hello?"

"Hello Todoroki, It's me Jirou."
