Bakugo had headed home in rush, forgetting to say good bye to the brunette and so to remedy that mistake, he'd walked to school with her. When he knocked on the door, it swung open to reveal the friendly looking woman, "morning."

"Rinny! Someone's waiting for you out here!" Chisa called out, soft giggles escaping her lips. "Come inside, she doesn't usually take this long but, it's her first time away from home."

"Okaasan." A soft sigh escaped her lips as she walked down the stairs, with a bag in hand. "It's only for a week, don't miss me too much."

Adan came up from behind her and enveloped the small, petite girl into a hug. "We'll miss you, we've just gotten used to having you at the house everyday," he turned to the ash blond standing by the closed door. "I expect you to take care of her."

"How am I supposed to take care of her when we're not going to the same fuc—"

Kourin rushed over to him and placed a hand over his mouth, smiling over at her parents. "What he means to say is that, we're not going to the same place, so he won't be able to take care of me. But, you and I both know that I can take care of myself. Bye!" She waved them goodbye as she ushered her best friend out of the door.

Bakugo draped an arm over her shoulder, pulling her closer to him. "Where the fuck are you interning? And why the fuck was that half and half bastard so close with you?"

"Careful there, hedgehog. I smell jealousy on you," she teased, and he had every right to be, but she didn't want to tell him for fear of hurting his feelings. "I'm interning with Endeavour, and what about you?"

Even mentioning the half and half bastard angered him. He didn't want to have to bring him up but he was jealous. He moved his arm from her shoulders to her waist as he rested his head on her shoulders. He'd been seeing her so often now, even one week would be too long. "Endeavour? How come he didn't give me a fucking offer," he grumbled with a huff. "I'm with Best Jeanist, the number four hero."

From anyone else's perspective, they looked like a couple and it was like they were. "I'll miss you Kat," she mumbled.

"Well, the feelings mutual, Kou." He pressed a kiss to the crown of her head. Normally, he'd be the first one at school, but this time, he made sure to take his time. "I expect you to text me every day."

"Only if you text first," she grinned, causing the ash blond boy to scoff. He'd do so nonetheless.

"You all have your costumes, right? Remember, you aren't allowed to wear them in public. Don't drop them or anything. Make sure you mind your manners with the heroes at your internships! Off with you now!" Aizawa bid them farewell.

"I'll miss you Koucchan!" Ashido whined, engulfing the brunette in a hug. "So much."

"It's just for one week." Kourin reassured the pink skinned girl, rubbing her back comfortingly. Once she pulled away, she noticed that Kaminari, Sero and Kirishima had gathered around her and engulfed the brunette into a hug, saying the same things as the girl before them. "I'll miss you guys too, I've grown fond of you," she mumbled.

Once the three boys parted from her, she came face to face with the ash blond. With her, like this, in front of people, he didn't know what to say. Bakugo pinched her cheek and wrapped an arm around her. "Daisuki."

"He's awfully affectionate with you.. well, more affectionate than he is to others." Yaoyorozu said, standing beside her.

"He's plain old Katsuki to me," she merely shrugged and turned to face the dark haired girl. "Momo, you really need to stop doubting yourself. You're an amazing hero, okay? More than amazing. Who're you interning with?"

"Uwabami, I hear Kendo from Class B will be with me." Yaoyorozu smiled weakly. "Thank you, Kou."

She was so social, Todoroki noticed, much more social than he was. It seemed that everyone was so drawn to her. But all he wanted to do was keep her for himself. Is that selfish of me? He wanted her, because in the short time he'd gotten to know her, he'd already fallen. He'd already felt closer to her than he ever felt with anyone else.

"Ocha, where are you interning?" Kourin asked.

"With Gunhead!" She said excitedly. "I better go, the train's leaving soon! I'll see you in a week, Koucchan!" Her arms wrapped around the brunette's petite figure. "Bye, Deku!"

"You going to miss your girlfriend, Izu?" She teased, nudging the green haired boy beside her.

"Koucchan! She's not my girlf—"

"I'm kidding, update me on your training okay? If you don't, I'll have to check on you. All Might secretly asked me to do it, so, don't forget, okay?" Kourin ran her fingers through his hair, a soft smile featuring her lips. "Bye for now, Izu."

"Are you two going with each other?" Midoriya asked, his green hues landing on the half and half boy. Seeing her with him made his mind flashback to the day at the hospital where he saw her kissing Bakugo. He could tell that she genuinely liked them both.

"We're interning together." Todoroki told him before he was dragged off by the brunette.

"I have been waiting for you, Shouto. It seems you're finally ready to take the path of the mighty, huh?" Endeavour mused, a smirk evident on his fiery face.

"I have no intention of going down a path you made. I will take my own path." Todoroki declared coldly, his hand gripping onto hers. A gesture that the pro hero noticed and for a second, just for a second, a genuine smile appeared on his face. He already knew that they were going to be close. Just as he was with Emi, a long time ago.

"Oh well, you should both get ready, too. We're going out," he told them.

Todoroki laced their hands together as he furrowed his brows. "Where?"

"I'll show you both what a hero is." He tore his gaze from the half and half boy and turned his attention to the brunette. "I was going to offer only Shouto an internship, but you seemed to favour fire more at the festival. You have potential for greatness, like Shouto."

"So, where are we going again?" Kourin asked.

"And to do what?" Todoroki mumbled.

"If this incident follows precedent, then the hero killer will appear in Hosu City again. We will go to Hosu for a time on a business trip and work there. Contact Hosu City immediately!" He ordered.

Todoroki pulled the brunette out of his office and into a place they could change, separately. "I'm glad you're here with me Kou," he mumbled, mostly to himself.

Endeavour was in his office, rummaging through his drawers when he spotted something sticking out from the piles of paperwork, a photo, from the looks of it two. He pulled it out and his face softened, it was a picture of him, Emi and Dai. Whilst the men had grins plastered onto their faces, the brown haired woman's face remained stoic. And in the second photo, he pulled one cheek whist Dai pulled the other, forcing the woman to smile. Towards the end of their lives, they were growing apart from him with all his talks of making an offspring strong enough to surpass All Might.

When Kourin stepped out of the changing rooms, the half and half boy's dual coloured eyes were instantly on her, his mouth slightly open. "I got rid of the cape, it wasn't my style.. And it really was just an inconvenience."

"You look good," his lips curved upwards slightly.

"Well, the material's more or less the same, but, more durable and elemental proof like before." She stretched out the skintight fabric. "It's strangely comfortable. Oh, and I like this costume better than the last.. not that you didn't look in that one too."

"Are you two ready?" Endeavour's voice echoed through the hallways alerting the pair.

By the time they'd gotten to Hosu City, it was already dark, which meant that they'd used up one of the seven days travelling. Having done practically nothing all day, Kourin insisted on training and the pro hero agreed, wanting to experience her power first hand. Whilst the two battled, Todoroki sat on a bench, analysing both their moves. Every now and then his hues landed on exposed back, where her scars were.

"You strength, your prowess.. It's greater than Shouto's." Endeavour began as he looked down at the panting girl. "You have better control over fire than he does, but, you still have a ways to go if you want to be excellent."

Kourin noticed the burnt trees around her and sighed softly, with the click of her fingers, the burnt trees and the scorched grass had grown back. She wiped the sweat off of her brow as the usual stoic expression she showed appeared on her features. Focusing on Endeavour, she didn't notice the half and half boy moved away. She wanted to ask why she was only training with fire, but she settled for asking a question about her best friend. "Where's Sho?"

Her demeanour and attitude reminded him of his own best friend, her mother. He pointed to a tree not too far from them, he seemed to be collecting flowers. "Right there. Kourin, why won't he train with me?"

"Really..?" She quirked her perfectly shaped eyebrow at him. "You really don't know? Look, Endeavour, you're a great hero, I mean you are the number two for a reason. But you're a shitty father. What you did to him, to Shouto and his mother, your children, makes you a shitty father," her tone turned cold as did her eyes. "I was surprised he picked your agency."

"Then why did you pick this agency?" He mused, narrowing his eyes. Awfully blunt, like her mother. I miss her.

"I wanted to learn from a great hero. It's your father skills that don't impress me. If you hurt him, you'll face my wrath. You haven't seen what I'm capable of. Not even close," she warned him and made her way to her friend.

Todoroki could feel the dangerously cold and irritable aura that radiated from her, he wasn't used to it. "Are you okay?" When she didn't respond, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her down to sit with him. "You know you can tell me anything, you know that."

Sighing softly, she rested her head on his shoulder. "Your father agitates me.."

"I know the feeling," he mumbled, rubbing her back comfortingly.

In the background, a pair of turquoise hues watched them, a content smile on his face. Maybe I won't have to force a quirk marriage on him.. But more than that, it was one of the few times his son had shown actual emotions on his face. His face showed surprise when his son, placed a flower crown on top of her head. Endeavour watched as the brunette smiled and engulfed him into a hug. Just like us..

They were booked into a fancy hotel, but Endeavour had only managed to get four rooms, two for his sidekicks and neither of them were going to bunk with the fiery pro hero. He wanted to remark something funny, something dad like, but he couldn't bring himself to. "We're patrolling tomorrow." He called out to the pair who'd already walked away from him and entered their room. Don't do anything naughty..

Both had changed out of their hero costumes, and into their pyjamas. Todoroki wore loose sweatpants to bed, whilst Kourin wore a loose black camisole with matching silk pants. Neither could their keep their eyes to themselves. A light pink hue enveloped both of their cheeks.

"If this makes you uncomfortable, I can put a shirt on," he mumbled shyly.

"No, it's fine.." She shook her head, her heterochromatic hues running over the half and half boy's sculpted abs and muscles. "I can change too if you want."

Todoroki shook his head and patted the empty spot beside him. "Today wasn't eventful, was it?"

"It's only the first day." Kourin shrugged and rested her head on his chest. "My phone's been buzzing all day. I should probably check on them.." It felt all so natural, his hand was placed on her waist, pulling her closer to him. She brought out her phone to reply to the people who'd texted her.

"Who's the human heater?" Todoroki asked, resting his head on hers. "Someone I need to be concerned about? And why human heater anyways?"

"No, no. He's cool. I saved him." Her lips curved up into a small smile, ignoring his last question. She wasn't about to tell him that she had a man come over to her house and cuddle with her, his warmth lulling her to sleep.

"You're close with him, aren't you?" Todoroki mumbled, almost sadly with a hint of jealousy in his voice.

"I practically grew up with him, and Izuku. I wasn't as close to him at first, but once you get past his explosive personality, he's not so bad." A sot chuckle escaped her lips. "He's jealous of you too. You're jealous of each other.. The only difference is that you don't really pay attention to him."

"I have you, what's there to be jealous of?" He placed a kiss on her forehead and nuzzled his face into her neck.

⠀

Todoroki stared at her back, not aware that she was talking to the green haired boy, "I'm glad you're away from them.." He mumbled, using his index finger to trace over her scars.

"Mhm, I couldn't have done it without everyone." She said.

"Are you ever going to tell the rest of the class?" He asked.

Kourin hummed, "probably."

Todoroki continued to examine the scars on her back, "who would you say you're the closest to in the class?"

"What's with all these questions?" She rose an eyebrow.

"I'm just asking," he mumbled, placing a kiss on her back. "I want to get to know you better."

Kourin pursued her lips, "well, I'd say you, Izuku and Katsuki, but I am trying to get to know everyone better. Eijirou is pretty adorable and so is Ochaco."

⠀

"Ochaco suggested making a group chat, what do you think?" Kourin asked him.

"It's meaningless for you and I, but it gives the rest of the class an opportunity to catch up and talk. It won't be just used in this occasion, it can be used any time." He said, brushing his fingers along her exposed midriff before turning her to face him.

"Izuku really urged you to come out of your shell," she mumbled.

He placed a hand under her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. "He helped, but it was because of you. Always know that, Kou. You are my light."

"Kiss goodnight?" Todoroki asked, almost nervously.

Kourin placed her phone on the bedside table and shifted her position so she laid atop him. "Just a kiss."

He stifled a chuckle as he placed a hand on her cheek. "Just a kiss," he repeated and closed the gap between them. His left arm wrapped around petite figure, pressing her body against his as he slipped his tongue between her lips. Before, he or she could get carried away, he pulled away looked into her eyes. "We should sleep."

"Mhm, good night, icyhot.." She rested her head on the crook of her neck as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

"It still amazes me how quick you fall asleep.." Todoroki whispered, tucking a strand of her behind her ear. "Thank you for everything, Kou, my flower.. You're still wearing it.." He removed the poorly made flower crown from her head and placed it on the side. "Daisuki.."
