Your P.O.V.

I sat on the shore, listening to the gentle waves. I quietly hummed a song I remember hearing as a child.

"My heart is pierced by cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold"  I felt pulled closer to the water, and I couldn't help but to give in.

As the cold water hit my feet, then my knees, then my waist, then my neck, I stopped. I wasn't sure what I was doing but it just felt right. I stared out at the horizon and the far waves, rising and falling. I caught a glimpse of that red and white speckled tail to my left, but when I turned to look there was nothing. I looked back in front of me but a pair of blue and grey eyes stared back.

"Who are you?" I stepped back staring into the captivating eyes.

There was no answer he moved closer to me and the memories of yesterday flooded in my mind. The red and white hair, those eyes. He moved closer and I felt frozen. He lifted his hand out of the water and gently cupped my face. Our eyes locked and I noticed how solemn he looked. He was beautiful and mysterious. I felt like I've known him for years, yet he was a stranger. I didn't notice how close he was until I felt a warmth on my mouth. I panicked and stepped back slipping on the wet sand under me. There was once again a moment of silence with us staring into each other's eyes. After what felt like hours he went under and I started moving trying to follow him.

"Wait, who are you?" I forgot how far out I was and went under.

Todoroki P.O.V.

I saw her standing in the water, going deeper and deeper into the waters embrace. 'This is my chance.' I thought as I swam up to her. I surfaced, meeting her gaze. She was beautiful more than what I had originally thought. Her hair was wet and wild, and her eyes were shining in the moon light. She had uttered words that I couldn't understand. I knew what I had to do, I had to have contact with her lips to understand her language.

I swam closer to her and raised my hand from the water to touch her cheek. Our eyes were still locked on each other, and I felt my heart speed up. I leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips. She was warm, like nothing I had ever felt before. She stepped back and looked at me again. I felt the longing in my bones for her, but I already felt the words swimming swiftly into my mind. I felt dizzy and confused, my head began to ache turning into a full on spiral of pain.

I dove into the water, away from the girl I longed for. I laid on the ocean floor gripping my skull from the pain. It felt like a shark had been biting at my head. The pain was excruciating. The pain then moved from the back of my skull to the front. All the while words upon words flowed into my mind. I tried to scream but I couldn't even form it, then I blacked out from the pain.

Your P.O.V.

"(Y/N)!" I sat up gasping for air. "Thank God you're okay." Momo wrapped her arms around me.

"Where'd he go?" I looked at the water, looking for the red and white.

"Who? Are you doing alright? You almost drowned." She let go of me and looked at the water too.

"There- there was a boy. He had red and white hair with a scar on his left eye. His left eye was blue and the right one was grey." I pushed myself onto my knees and scanned the horizon.

"There's no one out here. You're lucky I came when I did." She stood up and held out her hand for me. "When you went under I got so worried." She pulled me up and looked into my eyes.

"Sorry, Momo. I just thought that...I thought there was someone out there." I shook my head and turned to start walking back to the castle.

"Be more careful next time." She walked with her arm around my shoulders.

"I will." I nodded. "I'm sorry, I just wasn't thinking." I sighed. We walked in a comfortable silence and she lead me to the kitchen.

"Uraraka, do you mind making some tea?" Momo asked the brunette, pulling a chair out for me.

"Of course not. Any preferences?" Uraraka smiled at us.

"Anything is fine with me." I nodded.

"Green tea, please." Momo sat across from me.

"Momo, how'd it go with Ida?" Uraraka placed a cup in front of each of us.

"What are you talking about?" Momo raised her eyebrows.

"Did he not...never mind then." Uraraka shook her head and left the kitchen.

"That was strange." Momo mumbled.

"I'm surprised you don't know what's going on." I sighed taking a sip of the warm drink.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"It doesn't matter anyways." I sighed.

"No, tell me." She leaned on the table.

"He'll tell you when he's ready." I looked out the window.

"Is it good? Bad?" Worry filled her voice.

"It all depends on you. I just don't want to push anything." I looked back at the cup and the sweet drink inside.

"Do you want to talk about what happened earlier?" She changed the subject.

"I'm not sure, to be exact." I sighed. "I don't know how to explain it." I shrugged.

"What were you doing in the water? You just went under all of the sudden." She put her hand on my forearm.

"I just felt pulled into the water. There's something more to it, I'm not sure how to explain it." I traced the rim of my glass.
