「 Todoroki's POV 」

The day of the study "date", I had decided to invite Jirou, Sero, Ashido, Hagakure and Ojiro along, it was a shame that Ojiro couldn't come, but I respect his private life and won't butt in unless I find it necessary, which I don't, at least not in this case.

I was walking down the hallways towards the library, thinking back to when I was at Recovery Girl's office, my quirk apparently wasn't malfunctioning and she refused to tell me what the problem was, she only told me to make room for the next person who was supposed to come in and figure out the rest for myself. What was wrong with me though?

The thought continued to gnaw in the back of my head, my quirk wasn't malfunctioning and it only happened to me whenever I was close to Yaoyorozu. I heard that Ashido was the best person to give advice about feelings and more personal stuff, even relationship advice as well. I wasn't quite sure how she knew so much about people's problems, before I thought it was a girl thing, and.. I still think so.

I managed to make my way to the library and pushed the door open with my shoulder as I was holding my bag and blazer, and it was too much effort to adjust the position of the objects, so my shoulder was the most convenient option.

I let out a breath, seeing that I was the first one there, although it was a bit surprising, I thought that at least Yaoyorozu would be here by now, it's not like her to be running late, usually influenced by Iida to be at a meet-up at least 15 minutes early, maybe she went to the bathroom or to the cafeteria to get a snack, for which I wouldn't blame her.

I walked up to an empty table, putting my blazer over the wooden chair before pulling it out and sat down on the soft cushion that was placed on it. I made myself as comfortable as possible before putting my bag up on the table and rummaging through it for maybe a minute before I found all of my supplies.

I had come to notice that it was easy to loose your pencil in one of these bags, so therefore I had stocked up on them and kept at least 5 in my bag for every occasion that I might find myself in need of a pencil. Which was only 5 days a week, so technically I had one pencil for each day that I was attending classes at U.A High School.

I wasn't able to think for much longer before Ashido and Hagakure burst through the library doors, they were chatting happily about what seemed to be boys. I couldn't help but sigh, but on the other hand, now that Ashido was here, I could ask her about what was going on with me, she of all people should know.

"Oh! Todoroki~kun!" Ashido noticed me and came running over, Hagakure close after.

"Hi- Ashido, Hagakure.." My voice kind of gave in on me, so I sounded meeker than usual.

The two girls plopped down on their seats, placing their bags on the table and making themselves comfortable. I hesitated, was I really going to trouble them with this? It felt a bit embarrassing to ask, maybe I was just overreacting.

"Hey, Ashido~san?" I brought myself to ask, it felt important to me to find out.

"Hm?" Ashido perked up and smiled at me, something you commonly saw from her.

"You are good at feelings, right? Emotions?" I mumbled, scratching my cheek.

"Oh! Yup, I'd say I'm an expert in that area! What's up?" she hummed, paying full attention to me.

"I have.. A bit of an issue.. I feel like my quirk is malfunctioning but when I went to Recovery Girl, she told me that nothing was wrong." I explained, letting out a sigh. It felt pretty relieving to let someone know about this.

"Malfunctioning? When does that happen?" Ashido tilted her head to the side, looking at me with wide eyes.

"Whenever I'm close to Yaoyorozu~san." I replied, looking down.

"That's not malfunctioning!! That's love you airhead!" Ashido violently stood up, knocking her chair back. I have to say, it surprised me.

"Love?" I replied, a bit unsure of what the definition actually was. Because my parents' relationship surely wasn't love, I was sure of that.

"Yes! Love love love!! Sexual feelings, romantic feelings! You want to spend the rest of your life with someone, butterflies in your stomach!" and so it continued, Ashido continued to give me different things that could define love.

I felt my face heat up again, sexual feelings..? No, never, I couldn't. It was inappropriate, she was only a classmate after all, right?

"Oh my god! You are totally blushing! If you love her just ask her out already!" Mina flailed her arms in the air.

With my luck, just as she said that, Yaoyorozu, Sero and Jirou entered. I looked over and saw them, Yaoyorozu seemed frozen in place while Jirou was trying to push her forwards.

Shit..
