They talk. 

They arrange a time and date to meet again since Midoriya took note on his exhausted appearance. 

Maybe he can write about that or add it into the article. He hasn't exactly came up with what he wants to write about yet, but he'll leave it up to Todoroki. He'll take matters into his own hands when he has to. 

He can't help but notice how handsome he is and his heterochromatic eyes seem to tell stories.  

Maybe they should become friends. 

×××××× 

Todoroki thought Midoriya would be more pushy. Surprisingly, he isn't. He's friendly and easygoing, although he does get flustered easily. He found out when he once complimented Midoriya on his cute freckles and he turned a deep shade of red. Todoroki thought he might have to take him to go see a doctor.  

They talked, even after they finished the details about the meet up, and even when their coffee cups were nearly empty. 

He was soothing. 

He wasn't like any other journalists or reporters, seemingly asking neverending questions about his personal life or staring at him like he's an object to be dissected into little pieces. 

He asked questions about daily life instead and general ones like "do you have any pets" or "what's your favourite colour". 

He answered his questions.

Midoriya Izuku was interestingly unlike other reporters or journalists and he thinks he has a shot a befriending someone and feeling normal again. 

×××××× 

They chat over text before they meet at the same location once more at 9 PM.  

Midoriya thinks, yes. He does have a shot at befriending Todoroki Shoto the actor, which nearly everyone swoons over.  

Even he does. Well, not exactly. He enjoys the movies and his talent is amazing. He brings out the best in each character he plays and makes everything look more real, more believable, which is interesting enough for Midoriya. Okay, so maybe he does occasionally swoon over Todoroki Shoto. 

He takes a seat once more and waits, ordering a cup of hot green tea and Todoroki's favourite drink (iced peppermint latte with a little bit of whipped cream). 

×××××× 

Todoroki rushes into the shop as quickly as possible while pulling his hood up. He pretends to ignore the screams of fangirls and fanboys as they run past the cafe and walks over to the table Midoriya is sitting at.

Midoriya laughs at him, who was red faced and panting. He passes him his peppermint latte and he takes a sip gratefully. 

"Thank you." 

Midoriya nods and pulls out a small notebook and a pen. He taps it against his notebook while staring off into somewhere, blatantly refusing eye contact.

"Do you have any specific topic in mind about what personal thing you want to talk about?" Midoriya asks. 

The interrogation begins. Todoroki always feels it's like that whenever someone interviews him. This time, it doesn't feel like an interrogation though. He's much nicer, calm and patient. It's feels like friends chatting even if it's slightly more formal. 

"...my feelings and my relationship with my family." 

He hums and scribbles something on his notebook. "We can do this slowly at your pace just, uh, try to do this within or by a month," he says while smiling sheepishly. 

I nodded and he tells Todoroki to go on. 

"I don't like my dad. Never did. We always look like a happy family when we're together when actually we're not. Endeavour is known to be stoic and headstrong with strong opinions about things and my entire life he thinks I should be an actor. He wants me to surpass All Might".  

He talks and watches as Midoriya nods and scribbles things onto his notepad. He isn't completely sure if he can trust this part of Midoriya and he silently hopes he doesn't twist his words into something else.  

"Is that all for today? We can continue next week, it's late and you need rest". 

He nods and takes a sip out of his latte. Midoriya smiles and closes the notebook before putting them into his bag. 

He shifts as Midoriya stares at him as if he's trying to read him. "If you don't mind me asking, how do you put so much emotion into one character?".  

Honestly he doesn't know. He relates with some of those characters in certain situations he supposes, but for real he doesn't know. Maybe he just has the talent to do it. That's all there's ever to it. 

"I don't know, honestly."

Midoriya stares as if he wants to say something, but he shakes his head instead and smiles. 

"Alright then. I'll see you next week", he gets up and slings his bag over his shoulder. "Maybe I'll text you later?", Midoriya asks nervously. 

Todoroki simply nods and watches him leave the cafe before he smiles, feeling at peace for once.
