Chapter 5-Shortcake


Green scales replaced parts of my skin and covered my cheeks. My eyes turned red and black wings erupted from my back and a tail shot out from behind me.

My hands and feet turned into reptilian claws and I flew up fast aiming for one tree clawing at it, ripping and carving it to shreds like large wooden spears. Before the wooden stakes I had carved could hit the ground I grabbed it with my tail and threw them at another tree, impaling it with perfect symmetry.

I then turned into a blazing Phoenix and performed what I had practiced the other day, slashing and burning other trees into ashes. Again my favorite form became of me and and I rammed into another tree with my eagle wings, causing it to fall over knowing other trees like fast dominos.

I then landed in front of Endeavor on one knee back in my human form awaiting his response. My mother of course looked nervous as some sweat formed on her forehead.

Endeavor had his eyes wide like he was in utter shock, but not by the performance.

'It can't be! It is just a coincidence? It must be..' Endeavor thought as he shrugged off the thought.

Endeavor then gave me a grin and looked somewhat impressed. My mother sighed in relief.

"That is some quirk you have there, Tekami. I am sure you will be of great use to me," Endeavor said confidently as my mother looked greedy and happy all at once which was pretty scary to be honest.

I shuttermed at his creepy comment and gulped as I nodded in response.

"This is wonderful! Now Endeavor we must discuss the deal, yes?" Mother mentioned impatiently, but careful not to make him angry.

"Indeed. Well then Tekami I must introduce you to my son. You two will become very close." Endeavor smiled as he placed one of his large hands on my shoulder, causing me to flinch.

"Y-Yes, Sir," I said meekly as we went back inside and into a small room with a large coffee table with pillow seats around it and a TV set up.

My eyes widened in awe as a boy with white and red hair evenly on his head and he had a heterochromia eyes, one eye grey and the other blue.

He was sitting quietly reading a book until he jumped noticing his father's and our presence.

"Father," The boy said standing up. His face didn't show a lot of emotion, but he just seemed so unique that it grabbed my attention.

"Shouto. You'll be spending time with this girl for some time. I'm sure you two will be great friends." Endeavor slightly announced as he and my mother left me in the room alone with Shouto.

Silence....

It's so awkward!

I stood a distance away from Shouto and I kept my eyes away from him hoping not to meet eyes with him.

"So, I'm Shouto Todoroki." Shouto stuck out a hand.

I jumped at his sudden action.

"U-Uhm..My name is Tekami.." I shyly said shaking his hand.

"So uh what do you want to do?" I asked him.

"Do you want to watch All Might with me?" Todoroki said pointing to the TV.

Just like Izuku..

I smiled at him sweet causing him to blush as I replied,"Yeah, that's sounds cool!"

He nodded smiling as a response as he grabbed a remote off the table and turned on the TV.

All Might appeared and Todoroki was no longer this blank boy, but a bright one.

I looked at Todoroki and he had the same eyes and the same smile Izuku had when he would watch All Might with me.

I blushed at the nostalgic feeling until my attention turned to the screen.

As the show ended Todoroki clicked it off and started to go back to his blank face.

"Wooh! That was awesome!" I shouted as I began stretching my arms.

"Don't you think, Todoroki?" I said looking at him smiling.

He nodded back without saying anything.

"Hey, you know Todoroki. You look better when you smile," I mentioned starting to giggle.

He blushed hard saying?" W-What?"

I started laughing and soon he came to laugh with me.

After that it became more relaxed and we could talk easier.

Todoroki showed me a tour of his house and we played a ball game in the court yard except it was just us and his other siblings couldn't play along, especially the other boys.

"Hey you cheated!" I yelled giggling trying to dodge the ball.

"I did not! Maybe it's that you just suck at the game!" Todoroki shouted grinning as he tried to hit me with a ball.

After that we relaxed and we ate some snacks that someone had prepared for us.

I was happily enjoying my shortcake until I looked over at Todoroki who had cream on his nose.

I giggled and I grabbed a napkin.

"Todoroki look at me," I said as I got up close to his face.

"E-Eh?! Tekami what are you-," Todoroki stuttered as he blushed looking me in the eyes.

"There!" I said happily as I wiped off the cream off his face.

He was as red as a strawberry just like the ones in his shortcake.

I giggled sweetly as he started to laugh as well.

"Shouto, If you're gonna keep turning red like that I'm gonna have to call you shortcake!" I joked.

"Eh?" Todoroki pouted, but his widened realizing something,"Hey that was the first time you called me by my first name,"

It was my turn to blush.

"I-Is that so? Well is it okay for me call you Shouto because I'm sorry if I-," I embarrassingly was saying, but he interrupted me.

"N-No it's okay! You can call me anything you want, Tekami!" Shouto frantically said shaking his hands at me.

"Well, okay then Shortcake-kun!" I teased giving him a smug smirk.

"Anything except that," Shouto mentioned as we both started laughing.

After that we just started talking in his room reading books or something.

"Hey, we're friends right, Shouto?" I asked him just out of the blue.

"Yeah. Why do you ask?" Shouto asked me lifting his head from his book.

"Well, it's been awhile since I had any friends," I sighed as I layed down closing my eyes.

"Well, I think your actually the first ever friend I've had since my siblings," Todoroki mentioned bluntly turning to another page in his book.

"Eh? Really?" I said surprised as I crawled next to him.

"Yeah, I don't get to socialize a lot around here and I barely get to even talk with my siblings," Todoroki said bluntly as his eyes focused on his book.

Wow, Shouto is really open sometimes..

I thought for a bit until I smiled.

"Well, me and you are the same then," I inferred as I just started to look up at the ceiling.

"The same? How?" Shouto asked looking up from his book as he turned his head to face me.

"Well, I never got to socialize either since I was always locked up like a animal in that house," I sighed as I softly looked down at my hand smiling a little bit.

"I guess we are the same then and I'm guessing you don't have a normal childhood either?" Todoroki inferred as he closed his book.

I remembered everything that happened before I was adopted into a new family and the things I've seen.

I sighed as a flood of memories came back to me,"Like you couldn't imagine," 

Todoroki gave me a thoughtful look as I just smiled at the ironic thought and might as well reassure him.. 

"Well anyway, why don't we go do something? I'm pretty sure that I'll be spending a lot of time with you," I mentioned as I stood up and gave hims a sweet smile.

"I look forward to it," Todoroki said as he grinned playfully at me.
