chapter f i v e
Is that a confession? Did Todoroki really say those words or am I so sleep deprived that I'm starting to hear things? Or maybe-
"Y/n," and as a hand tapped your shoulder, you shrieked before finally calming down once you saw who the perpetrator was. Ah, the person who has been filling your mind as of late- how convenient for you. Wait, is it just you or are you two spending so much time together now? Like, whenever you have your free time, you two would converse or just about do anything-
"Are you alright? You've been spacing out since English time," Todoroki said to you, concern lacing his tone. So he was watching you... and the mere thought of that made the tips of your ears redden. "To be honest, no. I'm just thinking so much about you that I can't really focus," you sighed as you raked your hands through your hair. You figured that there is no point in lying, so here goes the truth. "You.. you're thinking of me? So that was the reason for you zoning out all this time," he mumbled to himself, and was it just him or did this classroom suddenly got hotter?
"Yeah. To be honest, I don't really know. Ever since I've caught on to the words you've said to me days ago, I still can't get it out of my mind. Tell me, Todoroki, do you really like me?" You asked him as you stood up, slinging your bag over your shoulders as you had eye contact with him. Todoroki gulped, he didn't know what to do. Should he just say 'yes' and hope for the best? Or should he lie just so he can get swallowed up by his fear of getting rejected.
"To answer your question, yes," he finally managed to say without stumbling over his own words. He planned his confession already in his mind over a thousand of times. Yet he didn't know that he'd do it inside this four-quartered room. Additional to that, your gaze on him is making his heartbeat accelerate so fast he thought that it'd escape out of his chest-
"Todo, what do you say about discussing this in my dorm room? Just to get the privacy we both want?" You couldn't say that you have a keen sense of hearing, but you were sure that someone was there, outside the premises of the classroom, eavesdropping on you two. Whatever, in U.A, rumours spread around so fast that you knew it wouldn't be long 'til people talked about this certain interaction you two had.
"Y-Your room?" It was so out of character for him to stutter that you it took all of your willpower not to let out a chuckle nor squeeze the dude for he was acting too adorable for his good, like the main female protagonist in some kind of romance novel. "On a second thought, that was too bold of me. But I couldn't think of a better thing to suggest, so that's that," you continued walking, heading straight towards the classroom's door, ready to exit. "Are you planning to spend your night here?" You asked him, with a teasing tone of course.
"I am alright with that. However, are you truly sure that you're comfortable being alone with me inside your room? We could discuss over this matter next time if you're just pushing yourself to do it," his concern for your wellbeing truly was endearing. Who knew that the one who told everyone before that he didn't come to this school to make friends, say those words that would just melt anyone's heart?
"Oh don't worry, it'll be fine. Plus, being with you makes me feel safe."
Ba dump. Ba dump. Ba dump.
There goes his heart beat, 'cause you are the reason– No, it's not the time for you to be engrossed with the song you'd just recently discovered when it was made decades ago, Shouto.
The girls squealed as they watched the whole thing unfold right before their very eyes. They just shipped you two so much that they want to just lock you two together in a storage room or something just so his relationship with you would escalate further. Yet, once they saw that you are heading things your own way, they immediately ran as fast as they could, not fearing any kind of scolding they might get from running around the halls.
"They were too obvious," you just let out a laugh once you reminisced what just happened awhile ago. The two of you are on the walk now, just being two nervous teenagers without letting the other know it since they were too scared of veing labeled as a wimp. "They should've picked a better location if they wanted to do that," and the two of you continued conversating, trying to loosen up since your nerves were eating the hell out of your even if you tried to hide it.
And the sound of the door opening filled your ears as you gestured for Todoroki to come in, all stiff since this was a first for him. Going into his crush's room, talking about the feelings he had and still has for her- What was the world thinking? Is cupid playing with you two? If that's the case, he just hoped that everything will go well.
"I don't really know how to start this," and there was this feeling enveloping him. Was it excitement or nervousness? He never could tell, well, maybe it was a mix of both? He did have two quirks, so feeling two emotions simultaneously- maybe that would explain this feelings of his?
"Todoroki, I've said this before, haven't I? You're literally the perfect male any female would want.. and are you really sure you'd want to pursue these feelings of yours towards me?" You asked him as you sat on the chair right in front of your bedside table as you faced him, the dude sitting on your bed, so still like he was a damned statue or something of the likes.
"You think so lowly of yourself and that fact is what I despise. You are someone that has their flaws, yes, but even I have them, everyone has them. Please do know that your flaws make you stand out, and may I add that even those imperfections of yours make you even more perfect?" He decided to stop at that because if he didn't, it would take him hours on end to list out everything that he loved about you– which was, you, so to say.
"I apologize if these words of mine are all jumbled up. I'm so excited to be here with you that I can't form coherent thoughts," he paused before coughing on his hand, looking to the side as if he was trying to hide his actually apparent blush.
"There are just so many words that want to leave out of my mouth and I just can't-" And the current 'you' made him stop. You were all curled up into a ball, with the palms of your hands covering your face and you justlookedsocuteinthatpositionthathejustwantedto-
"I've never blushed this hard.. How do I make this stop? How can I slow down the fast pace of my heartbeat? Do you know how much your words affected me, Todoroki?"
And once again, came in the blunt side of you.

If he didn't have this much self control, he prolly would've stood up in an instant and pull you into a bone-crushing hug and lock his lips with yours. His face turned to crimson red at that, subsequently vehemently shaking his head for thinking such... indecent thoughts.
Ah, he lik–
Loved you so much that he's now at a loss as to what he should do.
