"-and it's been over a month for goodness sake! the todoroki i know wouldn't hesitate to say what's on his mind, so what's holding you back?" momo made eye contact with the boy through the reflection of her vanity mirror as she brushed her long raven hair.

he suppressed a sigh.

shoto wouldn't admit it out loud but he was terrified. sure, being rejected would obviously suck, but the possibility of tipping the balance of their - what he would consider perfect - friendship? it made his stomach churn. he was scared.

emphasis on was.

"that's actually the purpose of this visit, i plan to confess this saturday. i just. . . wanted a few words of encouragement from my friend before it happens."

"oh, well you should've started with that!" shoto deadpanned. he did, but instead of listening to him, momo went on to rant about his previous hesitance.

"yeah, i should have."

his plan was foolproof; give y/n a bouquet of her favorite flowers and confess. it was pretty simple but he knew y/n, anything too grand of a gesture would cause the girl to be emotionally overwhelmed, literally shutting down at being put on the spot like that (he learned the hard way after a birthday surprise had the poor girl on edge for the remainder of the day) so making her anxious is the last thing he wants to do. besides, he wanted to keep the intimate moment between themselves.

now finished with her hair, momo made her way over to her bed taking a seat right beside todoroki, "i know this may appear nerve-wracking, i mean, it took me forever to pursue mina due to my indecisiveness but you-" she nudged his side with her elbow and gave him a pointed look, "-already have the confirmation on her feelings. there's absolutely no reason to feel anxious."

the deep furrow of his brows smoothened, that was honestly all shoto needed to hear. he wrapped an arm around momo's shoulder, giving her a little squeeze and a mumbled 'thank you' before pulling away.

the pair sat in a comfortable silence until momo tilted her head towards him, lips twisting at a thought.

"todoroki," he hummed in response, letting her know to continue.

"i've been meaning to ask y/n but it always slips my mind- but why hasn't she used her chi quirk on you to- i don't know. . . 'sense your feelings' or something of the sort?"

he wished it were that easy.

"well you see, y/n doesn't have a firm grasp on all her quirk's availabilities just yet. she can reach into her inner self to harness the spiritual properties of her mind, body and soul to enhance strength, healing and energy expulsion but to be able to reach into someone else's has been a weak point. she's trying hard though." he explained, pride warming his chest at how far she's grown. she just needed to take better control of her emotions.

even if her quirk did allow it, y/n wasn't the one to make the first move in situations like this, claiming that she'd rather 'eat a jean jacket' - whatever that meant.

"damn todoroki! you've been around midoriya too much, you sounded just like him!" whipping their heads around to the new voice, they watched as mina sauntered into her girlfriend's bedroom, giving her a quick forehead kiss then taking momo's previous seat at the vanity with a smirk.

"how long have you been here?" todoroki questioned, turning his attention to the door. this was probably one of the only moments he hoped not to see y/n.
