「 Todoroki's POV 」

I had to calm down, take deep breaths, and figure this out. The more I thought about it the more it scared me, the thought of the prettiest girl in class rejecting me was terrifying. I was scared of telling her about my true feelings. It was as if I had come to this wall I couldn't sneak around or climb over. Something that blocked my path of moving forwards. This was supposed to be easy, confess and go out a happier man. But no, I must be chicken for not getting over this.

On my way back to the 1-A dormitory, my heart had been aching, as if something was constantly tugging violently at my heartstrings. I didn't even know how I was going to tell her that I loved her, or where I was supposed to do it. Fuyumi, my sister, had told me that I should do it under a cherry tree, but I felt like it was.. a bit too much.. Even embarrassing if I were to put it in my own words. To drag someone out to a cherry tree and confess, no, it didn't feel right. But what other options did I really have?

I guessed none, my confession needed to be proper and direct, but I wondered if my heart could handle being so direct and blunt all the time, especially in a situation like this. Maybe she would be more likely to accept my confession if I wasn't so formal..? In the books I read, most love confessions were direct and clear, if it was a proposal for marriage or a confession of love, almost all the time, they were accepted, but I don't think that Yaoyorozu would be the type of girl to want something like that.

She was from a rich family, yes, most rich families in my books wanted their daughters to be married into a proper household and their sons to propse formally. So that fact was undeniable, we were both from rich families, so.. Maybe that was how it was supposed to be? But on the other hand, isn't love supposed to be expressed in the way that you are most comfortable with? So that plan fell flat on it's face when you thought about it that way. If it didn't feel right, I won't do it. Back to planning.

I entered the 1-A dormitory and headed straight to my room, locking the door after me, just in case. I sat down with a piece of paper and a pencil, furrowing my brow. The only way I could possibly get over this was to find a good spot to confess and do it face to face. I kept the cherry tree in mind as I thought about multiple different options for a good confession. A forest perhaps? They are usually calm and bring a sense of peace and privacy, if that didn't work, I could even write out the letters "I Love You" with candles outside her window and call for her, but I found that pretty cheesy.

I had scribbled down a few ideas on the piece of paper in front of me, maybe I was thinking too hard about this. Considering how anxious I had been, I probably was. I scrunched up the paper into a ball and leaned backwards, tossing it towards the trashcan and watched in satisfaction as it landed on the edge and fell into it, landing on the bottom with the other pieces of paper and other things that my trashcan might contain.

I looked at the clock and determined that it was time to head to bed, I would have more time to think about this tomorrow after classes. I got undressed and reached for my PJ's, quickly pulling them on and climbing into bed, pulling the covers over my head and slowly feeling the sleep consume my body.

~Timeskipp~

I woke up from the annoying sound of my alarm, I slowly worked myself into a sitting position and turned off the alarm. I yawned, twice.

Getting out of bed was hellish as usual, the feeling of the hard floor underneath my feet sent a tingling sensation up my spine, not one I liked, mind you. I heated my body up as I changed into my school uniform and grabbed my bag, walking down the stairs and into the kitchen, making myself some toast that I could munch on as I walked towards the classroom.

I made my way into the main building of U.A and changed shoes before starting to navigate through the hallways to find the 1-A classroom. It had become somewhat of a routine now, at first it was like navigating through a maze, but now it was like walking down the street to a random trashcan.

I entered the classroom and saw some of the usual faces at an early hour, Midoriya, Bakugou, Iida, Shouji and of course.. Yaoyorozu.. I felt my face heat up a bit as my look lingered on the raven haired girl seated by the window. I found myself staring at her and quickly averted my eyes in hope of her not noticing my embarrassing stare.

I took my seat and breathed out, seeing the classroom slowly filing up with familiar faces, and eventually, Aizawa showed up, starting homeroom, telling us about some unnecessary activities he clearly didn't care about. I glanced over to my left and saw Yaoyorozu paying full attention to class, I felt myself blush slightly, quickly turning my attention back to the front.

~Timeskip again, ik, exciting~

After classes were done, students were exiting the classroom, rather quickly, spreading a loud chatter as they walked. Yaoyorozu was walking out of the classroom, calmly, I followed pretty close after. Outside of the classroom I saw a familiar face. A boy with purple hair and dark circles underneath his eyes, Shinsou Hitoshi. His eyes were narrow and scanning the crowd of students exiting the classroom, why was he here? To rile up Bakugou again?

Then I saw something that surprised me, Yaoyorozu who had been walking a few metres infront of me took a turn, walking up to Shinsou with a sweet smile across her face. The two started to talk and walk away from the rest of the students. I had stopped dead in my tracks, glaring after the two, I felt jealousy burn up inside me, like the raging fire that Midoriya had lit inside me during the sports festival.  But this time, it hurt, and it made me bubble up, almost like Bakugou did whenever his squad were being idiots and annoying him.

I couldn't stand the sight of Shinsou making Yaoyorozu laugh, I quickly turned around and ran out of the main building of U.A, pushing everyone who was in my way aside, making my way to the dormitory. I couldn't handle it, it couldn't possibly be real, I was just hallucinating, I was sure..

Sorry for the rushed chapter -~- I just wanted to get something out ASAP, but either way, I hope you enjoy this chapter!~ <33
