Todoroki used his hand to lift your chin. He looked at your puffy (e/c) eyes before tracing down to your soft lips. "Why are you the only one causing me so much confusion?" ┈➤ While struggling to get through a life-changing incident, you met a reserved boy, Shoto Todoroki. Outside forces seemed to pull you together, though he wanted nothing but to tear himself away.

I held out my hand again, but this time, I was more determined than before. More certain of what I was after. "So what do ya say, Todoroki," I said, "Do you wanna be friends?" ~~~~~~~~ You were a quirkless child with an impossible dream of becoming a hero. One day, your dream is given hope in the form of your very own Quirk. Now, attending UA High School in the Hero Course, you're on the road towards fulfilling your dream.
