a/n: I’m back on my Todoroki BS. Only because I had no other ideas and I was babysitting most of the day so I had to pick something that I can passively write without any intense feelings. And because Todo deserves some crack. Not terribly proud of it, but it was a good idea in my head so, here ya go.

“It was a mistake! Honestly!” Hatsume cries, backed against the wall at the group of students confronting her.

“Well, YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO FIX IT!” Bakugou yells, the most ticked off of all of them, sparks popping in his palms.

“How could you do something so irresponsible? What were you even doing with something like that?” Iida reprimands the girl, chopping the air as usual.

I was planning on asking Hastume for some adjustments on my hero costume, but instead I’m standing in the doorway watching a confrontation. In addition to the two boys, Uraraka and Midoriya stand behind them, slightly flustered but still cross. Yaoyorozu stands with them, arms crossed over her chest in disappointment.

“Uh…?” All of their heads snap towards me. "What’s…going on, guys?“

Before anyone has a chance to respond, Bakugou bellows, "THIS IDIOT MADE ICYHOT INTO A RUDE EMO BASTARD!”

Huh? I blink and turn to the three standing aside for a better explanation while Iida continues reprimanding the support girl for her wrongdoings.

Yaoyorozu rubs the bridge of her nose. "Hastume-san made a truth serum for some reason and left it in a cup of tea, which he drank.“

"I thought he would’ve liked it to cheer him up,” Uraraka twiddles her finger nervously, “He seemed more stoic and quiet than usual today. Deku and I came for some upgrades and we saw it on the table.”

“Hastume-san said I could have it, but we figured Todoroki would’ve liked it instead,” Midoriya whines out. "It’s all my fault, I did this.“

"You had no way of knowing, Midoriya, don’t beat yourself up,” I assure the poor boy and I quirk an eyebrow. "But, if Hastume said you could have it, and there was a truth serum inside it, then what was she trying to…?“ I slowly turn to the girl in question.

At my train of logic, Bakugou growls and steps closer to her. "YOU BETTER START TALKING, PINK HAIR!”

Her face becomes flustered. "I just needed to ask him a few questions, that’s all!“

"You should be ashamed of coercing your schoolmates for information like that! That’s way beyond unethical!” Iida chimes in, truly the class representative.

“Guys, why she did it is a whole side issue, the bigger thing is that she makes something to fix it,” I cross my arms in front of my chest and give her a harsh stare.

Hastume waves her arms around. "I promise it’s only temporary! It should wear off by itself in an hour or less!“

"If you’re wrong, I won’t have any qualms about the two of us roughing you up,” I crack one of my knuckles and she nods frantically. I turn to Bakugou. "Wait, so what do you mean Todoroki’s a ‘rude, emo bastard’?“

"I think it’s unhealthy for you to be eating all those sweets, but it’s part of your quirk, so I guess you can’t help it.”

Frankly, Sato doesn’t know how to react to that. The confused guy was just coming out of his dorm with freshly baked cakes ready to share with his classmates when Todoroki, quite literally, violated his quirk with such a stoic expression.

“Okay, I understand the rude part,” I whisper to Midoriya, covering my hand with my mouth.

“Just wait, it gets worse.”

Mineta casually walks down the hall towards the two boys and waves, “What’s up guys-”

Todoroki looks down at the little purple boy. "I’d love to file a restraining order against you on behalf of every girl in this school, it’s a good thing you’re not pansexual or else I would’ve done it myself.“

Mineta’s jaw drops to the floor. "I- Where-”

Kaminari laughs from behind, patting the boy’s back. "Todoroki got you good, Mineta!“

Todoroki sighs. "I don’t know how to sugarcoat this, Kaminari, but I’m afraid that being around you might make me lose brain cells. Sero should probably tape your mouth shut. At least then he would be a more notable classmate.”

My jaw drops to the ground and I shrink back a little behind the corner so they can’t see us. "Oh…my…god.“ Half of me doesn’t want to go out there for fear of what he might say to me.

Kirishima eases up to the sharp-tongued boy. "Hey, hey, where’s this coming from, dude? We’re your friends.”

His mismatched eyes downcast. "Unfortunately, I was never taught how to be friendly because I was isolated for most of my childhood. Not to mention my father isn’t the most personable or kind either.“

The hallways falls silent. What is anyone supposed to say in that situation?

"I’m going to bed. At least in sleep, I can feel a percentage of the sweet relief of death,” Todoroki casually turns on his heels and walks off.

“Holy shit, it’s worse than I thought,” I mutter. I’ve always wondered what’s inside the usually quiet and proper boy’s head, but this is something else.

“OI, ICYHOT!”

“For fuck’s sake, Bakugou, you couldn’t have just left him alone?!” I whisper-yell at his sheer stupidity.

Todoroki turns around to face the spiky-haired hothead. "Yes, Pomeranian?“

Bakugou growls at the insult. "I’m still not finished with you from earlier!”

There’s still the same cold expression on his face. "What more do you want? Do you want me to say that if I wasn’t hesitant to use my left side at the Sport Festival, I would’ve been the 1st place winner?“

The ash blond pops sparks from his hands. "You wanna test that theory out right now?!”

Todoroki puts his hands in his pockets, still keeping his cool. "I’d rather not waste my energy ruining this building to appease someone with a deeply rooted inferiority complex.“

"You better shut up before I smash your face in!” He bends his legs into position, about to spring.

“And I’d still be considered better looking than you.”

I come out from behind the wall to calm the situation down before it escalates anymore. "Alright, that’s enough.“ I glare at Bakugou. "You didn’t need to egg him on, stupid, you just made it worse for yourself.” I brace myself and turn around. "Todoroki, just-“

"I like you.”

The rest of my words catch in my throat. Huh? I had to look up to make sure he was looking at me.

His heterochromatic gaze fixes on me. "You can be just as aggressive as Bakugou at times, and it’s frustrating how you have so much potential to be a great hero with such a strong quirk, not to mention that you can be such a mess during practice.“ He steps towards me so we’re standing arm’s length away. "But you’re charming and sweet as well. Just seeing you smiling makes me feel warm on the inside. Sometime’s it’s the only thing I need to see in the morning to make my day better. And I can look into your eyes…” He trails off suddenly.

My heart’s already pounding and I can feel the heat from my blush reach my ears. When he stops, I finally let out a breath. I thought I was going to die if he continued.

Todoroki’s expression morphs into slight confusion before his eyes widen and he looks around at all the slack-jaws and smirks around us. A blush as intensely red as his left side colors his entire face and neck. When his gaze finally rounds back to me, he nearly bursts into flames and slaps a hand over his mouth. "Pardon me,“ he murmurs before retreating to his room.

I’m dizzy enough that I could faint, from both embarrassment and joy that the guy I like has feelings for me too. My legs are about to give out until Midoriya holds me up. "I guess…the serum’s…worn off now,” I let out shakily.

“Are you okay?” The freckled boy looks concerned trying to balance me back onto my feet.

I nod, my thoughts a little scrambled, but I still need to address the rest of the students. "So, uh, Todoroki was under a truth serum, which is why this all happened. Just thought I’d let you guys know.“ I lean over Midoriya’s ear. "Can you take care of the rest?” The weightlessness in my stomach tells me I should go knock on a certain someone’s door and talk to them.

The boy nods and I stumble over to Todoroki’s door, leaving Iida’s signature class rep voice to deal with damage control. I take a deep breath to calm my rattled nerves as I stand there. I’d say we’re friends by association, since we both talk to Midoriya, but we’ve never really been alone to talk before. Somehow, I’d developed a crush on him, but I’d never really planned on confessing.

I gather my wits and knock gently. "Todoroki? It’s me.“

There’s rustling of clothes very close to the door, which means he was probably sitting behind it, before the boy opens it a crack. He clears his throat, "Yes?”

It’s cute how he’s trying to sound like everything’s normal. "Can I come in? I’d like to talk.“

Without another word, he opens the door fully to let me in, closing it behind me. He doesn’t meet my eyes, trying to hide his face behind a closed fist. The image of this normally cool guy falling apart embarrassed is priceless. "I’m…sorry…I embarrassed you. And I wasn’t very kind to everyone else either. My behavior was completely out of line, and I’d like to take back everything-”

“You want to take back what you said about me, too?”

His face turns even more crimson. "If it makes you uncomfortable…“

"It doesn’t, actually.”

The boy finally looks at me, childish shock clear in his eyes. It makes me want to hug him and not let go. "Really?“

I nod, "I’m just a little upset that you cut off where you did.” I close the distance between us and tug the fabric on his sleeve. "What did you want to say about my eyes?“

It seems I might have asked too much of him. He’s the complete opposite of how he was 2 minutes ago, but that’s what makes this more genuine to me. "I…was going to say…I can look into your eyes…all day.” And he finally does so. "Because they hold the entire soul of the person I’d like to get to know.“

My heart flutters at the cliche but sweet line and throw my arms around him. "Was that so hard to say?” I tease.

“Somewhat…”

I rest my head on his shoulder. "I like you too, Todoroki.“ The words coming out of my mouth feels almost like a liberation. And when his stiff figure finally loosens up to envelop me too, I smile. "You know, you’re gonna have to apologize to everyone formally tomorrow.”

His body becomes hotter. "I know…“
