*jokes about making out with you until it actually happens*

           a laugh escaped him at his response - a hand rose to move through his own curled locks. despite parts of his memory of their previous battle being HAZED & locked away in his mind, he didn’t try to let him affect it too much. his body was still healing from that encounter, some bandages around his chest & waist still needed their own time to heal. there’s only so much recovery girl can do to him, & he needed to be patient. but only mentioning that to the other would raise his guilt levels, & he didn’t have it in him to do such a thing. even if todoroki didn’t believe it, it seemed the other did have a heart of gold; it’s just hidden by a straight face & a calm personality.             he wanted to see more of that pure heart. from first glance, he thought the other would be a repeat with bakugou - an aggressive entity who would only push him away, even  going to lengths to insult him. he was grateful his initial judgement was wrong. even when he gave him a subtle smile, his heart fluttered with EXCITEMENT. he nearly couldn’t tell freckled cheeks began to flush a crimson color, as his eyes moved forward once more. it was silly to let himself get embarrassed quickly like that; he really hope the other didn’t mind his strange behavior. having a stable set of friends was new to him, especially since he always half - heartedly tagged along with bakugou & his gang, just so he can find a place to feel ACCEPTED. even if it hurt to be around them, 

          ‘ my family ? no, my dad could breathe fire & my mom can attract small objects to her. ‘ as far as he knew; they could handle their quirks fairly well. he hasn’t exactly seen his father at all within his life time; only in pictures his mother kept in a photobook. he was aware they were at least still MARRIED. it’d be cruel of him to write him off, it’s not as if he completely ABANDONED them, right ? he never really thought about it until now, his heart felt a tinge of pain within his heart - but it wasn’t worth fretting over right now. he could just bring it up with his mother later when he’s home. ‘ i’m …. a little different than them. i don’t remember what my grandparents quirks were, though - so i think i got their heritage more. ‘ 

                      “..Small objects-??”

Breathing fire too; both of those quirks had little to nothing to do with ‘overwhelming strength’, especially a strength that rivalled All Might’s own. His brow furrows with a slight confusion, his mind wandering over why Midoriya was such an exception to every rule he ever knew about quirks and how they were inherited. Again, it seemed that the smaller of the two had something he was hiding about the issue.

Or, he really did get something from a grandparent, and it’s something far rarer than even being quirkless was. He felt somewhat glad that he was an exception. It would have been a terrible waste if such a great hero was stuck with quirk that had him floating small things towards him. Todoroki side-eyes Izuku quietly, noticing the addition of a rosy red to the littering of freckles that dusted his cheeks; he blinks as it fades, and he wonders if he was just seeing things. He wouldn’t press further, he simply acknowledges the answer with a short nod.

                                  “You are very different. Not just from them,                                      but from everyone. I’m grateful for that.”

Todoroki wasn’t a fool, he knew upon looking back at himself that he was on a dangerous road that could have twisted him into a villain with one wrong misstep. He was still only used as an object by his father, and he was sure that would never change. Yet, whenever he might feel upset or angry over this fact, he could always feel a gentle tug from Midoriya putting back on the right path. He would become a true hero, far better than his father ever could be. 

                                       “Have you prepared for tomorrow-??                                        The written part of the exam, I mean.”

                      “.. You’re here to take a refreshing walk-??”

A guess. One that was probably very wrong, but what else could he be here for, unless he wanted to start trouble. There was no point in doing so, however, thus Todoroki doesn’t act like he may have with a villain who’s intentions were clear. This guy was everything but clear, his intentions hidden, but no less dangerous. More importantly, Shouto isn’t even allowed to do anything, since he’s not a certified hero yet. He had gotten into enough trouble regarding this fact as it was.

                            “I’m not a mind reader.. but it’s probably no good,                                                       whatever it is.”

hairhorns:

       NEEDLESS TO SAY, Kirishima didn’t fully believe in a higher power until this dreamlike moment. Like, being paired with one of the strongest AND smartest kids in the class? The day’s fated to be a cakewalk. But he tries not to stagger his response too belatedly, attempting with all of his might to tone back the ferocious grin. 

“  —— yeah!  Is that alright with you?  ”  Wait, what? Stupid. Stupid. Why would he ask that?  “  Not that you can do anythin’ about it! You’re stuck with meeeeeee!  ”

AND WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT, TOO?  Maybe it’d more complicated than he imagined. Cakewalk: decimated. Anyway, he’s courteous enough to kick a spare chair over, shuffling some junk off of his desk to give Todoroki some room. “  Sit, won’t ya? On a scale of one to what the hell… how much of the lesson did you understand?  ”

                   “We don’t have a choice.. But it’s fine with me.”

Words are spoken concisely, clearly, making sure that Kirishima knows that he holds no ill will toward his newfound partner. He watches with a raised brow as the other boy moves things around, the chair kicked his way was regarded with a scrutinising look before he sits down and their attempt at working together could truly begin.

                       “That’s a strange scale, but I understand the lesson.”

It was starting with a theory of how to use their quirks in a given situation, and then putting it into practice when it was their turn to go out with All Might. As far as Todoroki knew, they’d be saving a ‘hostage’ from a ‘villain’. Or trying anyway. Unlike before, however, he wasn’t about to do all the work himself like he had done previously. He intended to let Kirishima work with him, rather than for him.

                           “We need a solid stratergy, so if you could tell me more about                                     your quirk---- And how you can handle temperature.”

            with a simple hum, & with a slight skip in his step. perhaps it was this NEWFOUND friendship that got him so cheery - especially with one of the most INTERESTING people from 1 - A. he couldn’t stop thinking about his quirk; despite it being almost SIMPLE. he had so many questions, & he was extremely interested in seeing what he could do with his fire - side. eyes would glance over at him, looking from his shoulder down to his digits. how he could just BURST this power from his skin was beyond him - & hell, he wanted to see only MORE of it. such a thought could almost be viewed as selfish, admiring his power before the man himself. but he couldn’t help it, he’s spent all his life learning about everyone’s quirks, maybe to fill the void of him not having one to call his own.              yet, his eyes glanced up at his scarred face. curiosity peaked on how he got it - but he knew it was a story he shouldn’t pry on. it was alright for him to have a few kept secrets; after all, no one but bakugou knows he was born QUIRKLESS. even though, he’s said it multiple times. thankfully, he only believes he HID his powers until now. which thankfully, hasn’t caused a stir just yet. maybe in time, he could tell todoroki about his past; about one for all. but for now, he’s alright with staying quiet. optics would shift forward, his scarred hand moving upward to rub at the side of his face. god, he never realized how HUNGRY he was. maybe it was because he skipped breakfast, even though his mother INSISTED on at least a bite. maybe he shouldn’t have overslept.              his voice caused him to pull out of his trance; blinking a few times in thought. his … favorite food ? a strange topic; but it was also to be expected. todoroki knew next to NOTHING about midoriya; a small laugh escaped his lips. how silly ! 

           ‘ katsudon ! ‘ he nearly yipped out, feeling his SMILE only glow brighter. it was quite alright; he can pick up any slack the other leaves. ‘ – what about you ? i feel as if you’re probably big on noodle - dishes. ‘ such an ASSUMPTION might anger most - but he LOVED theorizing on others. perhaps in its own way, that could be a quirk. if he put his mind to it, that is. 

                            “.... Lucky guess. I like Zaru soba.”

He assumed that Midoriya was talking about the pork cutlet rice bowl rather than egg or chicken. Not a bad taste in food, Shouto finds a smile easily starting to form; he wanted to know more about his classmate, more so than anyone else he’s ever spoken with. His interest in someone’s personal life had never really shown before, and his interest in a person’s quirk only went as far as a simple curiosity. 

Midoriya seemed to always break all these rules, bend the fabric of Todoroki’s reality and make into something new, better, stronger. Never in his life would he have guessed that a boy like this would flip his world on it’s head in just a short few months of knowing each other. The skin around his left eye tingles slightly under Midoriya’s gaze------ He remembers telling him the story, but whether it was another memory lost from their intense stand off, he doesn’t know. It’s not important enough for him to ask.

Instead, as they enter the cafeteria side by side, he decides he wants to inquire more about Izuku’s life. It didn’t seem fair that he’d shoved all of his own problems and his tragic past on Midoriya without giving a shred of concern to his own. Not that he wasn’t, far from it, he just didn’t wish to push his luck. 

                                           “What about your family-??                            Do they have the same problem with their quirks-??”

[freezeburned-blog]

casually gives the others cheek the QUICKEST of smooches, only to hide his own face from embarrassment. was it too daring ? maybe.

                 It’s lucky that Midoriya didn’t hang around near his cheek,since the left was now slowly lighting itself aflame with abandon. No amount of frost could quell the storm that Izuku had created with one simple action, a heat that would spread through his entire body that was deeper than anything he’d ever felt.

Emotions were hard, having always been told to suppress them, forget them, they weren’t important. What was he supposed to think, how was he supposed to feel. More importantly, how was he supposed to act with this raging swirl of questions and strange stirrings in his gut that scared him into stillness. Midoriya was still near him, rendering him unable to think as he normally would. Just breathe and suppress. Breathe and forget. 

He hoped Midoriya wouldn’t notice his hands, quaking as his mind ran over every uncertainty possible. But one thing was abundantly clear, Todoroki had feelings for Midoriya, how strong those were and where he’d place them, he didn’t know----- But not knowing if the other had meant to stir his heart like this, whether it was a joke or friendly gesture, it stops him from acting. 

                                            “... M- Midoriya..”

He managed, his voice quiet, strained from the overwhelming feelings. This friendship was so precious to Shouto that he’s terrified of damaging it with a wrong move, one wrong word and he could lose what has become his world.

                      “You.   What do you think you’re doing here-??”

That was a face he hadn’t seen in a while, but he remembered it, how could he not. Though his eyes would narrow, he’d maintain his calm demeanour the best that his nerves would allow. This place was lightly crowded, and that would pose a problem should the villain decide to look for a fight.

                  “I guess we’re working together on this.”

Kind of obvious, but Todoroki was an awkward child, unsure of how to approach. He had yet to really sit down with his classmate, and as far as he knew, their personalities couldn’t be more different. Something in the back of his mind tells him, however, that this is the whole point of the exercise. Hopefully they could get through this without failing. He wouldn’t want to drag the boy down.

                  It takes him a moment to realise that he’s never seen this person before. He didn’t look like any hero he’d heard of------------ A civilian, perhaps. Yet the beach was a danger zone, and Todoroki had been tasked with searching the area for a villain that had been spotted heading this way, now probably in hiding.

                                    “Hey, this area is dangerous, you need to evacuate.”

           he felt as if it was too risky. with bakugou, he aimed upward, he tried to be super careful when battling the other - afraid that if he aimed at a major organ of his body he’d collapse. it was not only dangerous to midoriya himself; he felt as if it could be dangerous to those around him if he really wanted to commit such a crime. he didn’t dare try, however. he could never forgive himself if he ever seriously injured an innocent. that’s why he was in the hero program in the first place. it was his own uncertainty about his quirk – that’s all there was to it. he didn’t know what power laid within, he didn’t know if it could get stronger after every new successor. but he couldn’t quite convey these anxieties to the other just yet. he’d love to tell him – he just… didn’t want all might to be disappointed in him again.            ‘ yeah, that … might be for the best. ‘ his mind grew more worried-some - what if he could never control it ? what if he DOES accidentally land a lethal blow? he could’ve done it to bakugou during their class…. god, that sent a shiver up his spine. it was true bakugou didn’t seem to like him that much, but he knew… deep down, he has some sort of respect for the smaller male. at least, that’s what he’s hoping. yet, he was pulled away from his train of thought when the other spoke. he … wanted to grab food with him? he felt himself grow excited, jumping a little bit as his smile perked up once more.

            ‘ i’d love to ! ‘ 

                      With that decided,  Todoroki drops it--------- If Midoriya was truly that worried about it, then he wouldn’t push him. He’d definitely ask for a real spar once the embodiment of sunshine was more confident in his ability to control the explosive power within him. Until then, some practice in close combat would suffice. 

Cold soba called to him from the lunchroom, and he finds himself more hungry than he thought. Or perhaps this was an eagerness to finally sit with a friend, Midoriya’s excitement----- And his smile, were two things he wanted to preserve. So, they begin the walk together, heading down the halls and hoping they weren’t a little too late after the conversation they just shared. A companionable silence fell over them for a moment, not because Todoroki didn’t want to talk, but simply because he wasn’t sure what to say for a hot minute.

He wanted to talk more, to be able to express himself to Midoriya like everyone else, like a real friend would. Social interaction was not a lesson his father had beaten into him, so he’d just have to take this in stride and hope that Midoriya would forgive him for any mistakes he’d make.
