A/N: DECIDED TO TRY A DIFFERENT POV:D

°.✩┈┈∘*┈🌙┈*∘┈┈✩.°

S.TODOROKI POV

There wasn't a moment where I didn't love Y/N.

She was with me from thick to thin.

She was all I ever asked for. And I knew I didn't need to look for anyone else as long as I know she exists.

Out of all the people I have met, she was the one who understood me the most.

She looked for the beauty within me and helped me stitch all my flaws into an imperfectly perfect Shoto.

Our love story began when we were 5.

. five .

I ran away.

Somewhere far. Anywhere. I didn't care where my feet would take me. As long as I don't see him, that was all it matters.

Running out of breath, I halted in my footsteps and tried to catch my breath.

Until I saw you standing in front of me.

It caught me off guard so I slightly jump back.

"Whoa... You're so pretty!"

For a five-year-old, a simple and sudden compliment like yours made my blood rise to my cheeks.

Other than my mother, you were the first person of my opposite sex and of my age that complimented me.

So I couldn't help but fumble in my words.

Then you giggled.

Oh how adorable you were back then. I couldn't forget it.

"I'm L/N Y/N!" You straightforwardly introduced yourself, reaching out your small hand.

I was hesitant.

How badly I wanted to tell you my name. But the fact that I shared the same surname as my father's made me waver.

You noticed.

And for a five-year-old, you didn't throw a fit and simply smiled.

"It's okay if you don't tell me! Cause you'll be cooler if you remain... remain... m-mish..torious..!"

"Mysterious?" I corrected.

You laughed and sweatdropped. "Yeah! That's the word. You're smart too, just like my other bestfriend."

"You have a bestfriend?"

"What do you mean? Everyone does!" You raised your hands up in the air.

"Well I... I don't have one."

Your face momentarily dropped before a bright and brilliant grin appeared on your face.

"Silly! Yes you do!"

"No I don't.."

"Then what about me?" You pouted with those small lips.

That was when my eyes twinkled as if I saw the light after living my whole life in darkness.

"For some reason, we were both led to here. So I'm pretty sure we're meant to be friends!"

Your words had no logic.

It made my adult self laugh. Just remembering how you confidently said that as if you just stated something smart.

"Shoto." I blurted without thinking.

You tilted your head. "Huh? Sho? Oh! Your name is Sho!"

I was about to correct you. But... you were clapping your hands and bouncing up and down circling around me with joy.

I couldn't just ruin the atmosphere.

Because for a moment there, I almost forgot all of my problems.

. end .

She was my safe haven.

When I was around her, I feel like I could catch all the stars, only then to give it to her.

Basically speaking that with her, my problems were nothing but mere non-existent tiny particles.

I had mixed emotions, remembering that time.

Happiness, angst and frustration.

Not of her, but of myself.

Come to think of it, she was the first one that I have ever opened up too.

And for a 7-year-old, she handled it way too well.

. seven .

(A/N: 707, HERO OF JUSTICE~)

"What?! Your name isn't Sho?!" You gasped.

The look on your face was like of a person who just got betrayed.

So I quickly shook my hands. "Y-yes but you don't need to correct it!"

"No way!! Two years and I thought your name was Sho!!" You cried.

"L-L/N! Please don't be sad..!" I frantically tried to comfort you.

You sniffed. "Then what's your real name?"

"Shoto... Todoroki Shoto."

My voice was a lot clearer than my mumble jumbles back then. Obviously saying that I was comfortable with you.

Your eye twinkled. "Whoa~"

"But L/N! Please continue calling me by the nickname you gave me." I requested in a plea.

You pretended to think. "In one addition-"

"Ah, it's condition L/N." I whispered.

"Oh! Yeah, what he said." You scratched your neck. "Anyway! In one condition."

"What is it?"

"You have to call me by a nickname too!" You grinned.

I blushed. "B-but what though..?"

"Anything!"

"Um... N-N/N."

(A/N: Btw I was thinking I'd officially change your nickname into Flower but I think I'm too late to change it for the last chapters so I'll start it next chap if you agree. What do you think? I'd love to listen if you have any ideas!:D)

I would be lying if I said I didn't already think of a nickname for you.

And I'd be lying if I said I didn't imagine calling that to you too.

You laughed but I didn't fail to notice the growing pink color in your cheeks.

"That's so pretty! I like it."

Of course it had to be pretty, Y/N.

But you deserve more than any pretty childlish nickname.

What you deserve, should be my surname and to be called my wife.

Ah, yes. I suppose that would do just the trick.

Then you suddendly carresed my hair strands.

"Everything about you is so pretty." You softly smiled.

"No, not really... I don't think the same of my home and the events that happen there."

You frowned and continued to listen to my rants.

My rants that I've held back for so long because I had no one to talk to.

My rants that I bottled inside me making me carry a heavy burden.

And I was about to open that bottle.

At that moment, I was surprised... scared... and amazed.

Without a thought I was blurting out all the things I haven't told anyone.

Without a thought I told the story of myself with ease and no discomfort.

And it terrified me.

Because I was telling you things I once couldn't say out loud.

After I ranted out everything, I didn't notice you were embracing me with those small arms of yours.

Small arms yet your warmth spread throughout my whole body, enough to reach my heart.

I hadn't also realized that the once cold heart that laid in my chest was slowly warming up.

And it was because of you.

"It's okay Sho. Your N/N is here."

I didn't even need more than those seven words to make me feel reassured and happy.

Suddendly, you pulled away from the hug and stood up.

Then you reached out your hand.

And it shocked and confused me.

You'd usually grab my hand and drag me from anywhere to everywhere.

But this time... instead, you held out your hand.

And your lips curved upwards in a most soft and gentle manner.

"Do you trust me?"

That send palpitations to my heart.

I didn't realize that I was in the verge of falling in love with you.

My eyes were even teary when my hand collided with yours.

"I do."

So you grinned brightly and we started running to a cliff.

We stood in a distance away from the end of the cliff where the sea was splashing from below.

It caught me off guard when you suddendly shouted.

"HEY NUMBER 2 YOU BIG MEANIE! I'LL PUNCH THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF YOU, YOU STINKY SOCKS!"

I widened my eyes at you. Up until now, I didn't know where you got those words from.

"Your turn!" You laughed.

I was hesitant.

"Don't worry! Nature is helping us out so no one will hear us. Plus, if it's that hard then just think of his ugly face and scream at him!"

>:D

Now it didn't matter.

So I took in a huge breath before shouting my lungs out.

"OLD MAN I WISH YOU WEREN'T THE STRONGEST SPERM! GO BACK TO GRANDPA'S CROTCH OR I'LL GROW UP AND INVERT YOUR RIBCAGE!"

You bursted into a fit of laughter. "What the fudge dude!"

With that, I laughed along with you.

And for the first time in my life, I had wholeheartedly laughed out loud.

I may have not favored my house. But at least I found my home in you..

. end .

I felt so at ease with her.

I wanted nothing else but to make her happy.

This infatuation of mine was something I can no longer ignore and deny. I was hopelessly in love with her.

I couldn't forget the time when I felt so frustrated and lonely that I never studied under the same school with her (until highschool) too.

Because I craved for her attention and was touch-starved, middle school was the turning point of our relationship.

(A/N: If I mentioned anything about when their relationship started or anything else not adding up, please do tell me! Bc even tho I'm the author, I often forget about the small details of the book since a lot of things happen in my life lmao:DD)

. middle school .

It was around halfway of my second year of middeschool without you.

I was still able to see you after school or weekends but it got more difficult since school work and training piled up even more.

And that fact alone frustrated me to the very end.

Especially when I occasionally see you hanging around with your male classmates.

I was already old enough to feel and understand that I was certainly jealous too.

Until the weekends came.

"L/N Y/N, I like you."

Your beautiful E/C orbs widened, unconsciously dropping the flower you once held.

I didn't know why I blurted that out.

Perhaps it was the perfectly sunny day that boosted my confidence.

Or the chirps and songs of the early birds- or maybe it was because of how the grass and flowers danced.

It happened in a spur of a moment.

Feeling blood rise to my cheeks, I continued to observe how surprised you look.

"What?" Your voice cracked.

"I... I like you. I like my N/N. She makes me happy and I want to make her happy all the time- just like the way she makes me happy."

I gently held both of your hands as I continued to stare in your orbs.

Deeply did you blush and looked down.

"Oh no..."

Nervousness washed over me.

I didn't think it through... I almost regretted it. What if my stupid confession would cost the friendship that I cherish oh so much?

"Y-Y/N?" I stuttered.

"Oh no no no, you're too adorable!" You squealed and hugged me tight.

"I like you too! Like, very very very much..! Don't worry Sho, I'll protect you from everything else!"

You held onto me as if I was something precious to be taken care of.

"I... I'm so glad." I fought the urge to scream 'I love you' to the world.

"But let's just stay like this! My face right now is really really red!" You laughed.

I just nodded and hugged you back, tightly. Afraid that you'll go away.

"You'll stay beside me, right?"

"Mhm. I'm right here."

. end .

If I knew she'd disappear for years, I should have hugged and kissed her a billion times than I already did.

Either way, I could never bring myself to blame her for my suffering.

Sharing the same blood of the self-conscious Endeavor was already enough to put a burden in her shoulders.

Then I let out a big and heavy sigh.

"I want to talk to someone..." I mumbled, staring at space.

I couldn't talk to Midoriya or Iida too since they're on a mission.

So then I came to my last resort.
