Yaoyorozu's POV
Todoroki.. had he really gone through all that? How has he been able to hold it all together, despite everything that was stirring inside of him? How could he be so strong in power, IQ, and in emotion?

Ha.. Todoroki-kun doesn't waver a single bit, does he?

My mind swirled with similar thoughts all night. Through just a few words, I had lost a vast majority of respect for the No.2 Hero in the rankings. Endeavor, Todoroki's father. I wondered about his mother. From what I heard, his mother was really kind, and she cherished he son a lot.. I think Todoroki mentioned which hospital she was held in.

I wonder if I can meet her someday..?

Todoroki's POV

The next day: After School

"Todoroki-kun? Uhm, Todoroki-kun? Todoroki!" One moment I was lost in thought, the next I was rapidly being shook by Midoryia.

"What?"

"Oh, you finally heard me— oh! Uh anyways, I wanted to ask you something.." Midoryia stopped shaking me and backed off a little.

"What is it? Please hurry too, I need to be somewhere soon." I bluntly told him.

"Oh, uhm, well— Todoroki, I have noticed you have been spacing out recently... I don't want to pry or anything, but is there something on your mind..?" Midoryia looked down at his feet.

I paused for a moment and walked past him, exiting the classroom.

I walked down the streets of the large city, people walking past me and cars passed by.

When I reached my destination, something felt off, but I wasn't all too sure what. Pushing the thought aside I entered the building and walked up to the counters.

"Hello again, Mr. Todoroki, here to visit her again I see?" The lady at the counter said with a smile, informing me of my mother's recent well being.

I walked down the halls and opened the door slowly.

"Oh, didn't expect you so soon Shoto. Hm, you have this look on your face. What's on your mind?" That was the second time I was asked that in the past hour..

I wanted to respond to her with "Nothing, I'm doing fine", but, there is no way you can get past my mom when she notices something.

"What if I were to say .. that there was this classmate at some school," I started, pulling a chair up to her.

"Go on," my mom nodded.

"And recently your mind has been filled with that certain er- classmate instead of schoolwork?" I looked at my mother.

A big warm, playful smirk appeared ok her face. "Oh, I see Shoto, it's a girl isn't it?" She said out of the blue.

I flinched for a moment, seriously moms are way too thorough..

"Ah, so that IS the case then." She continued with a giggle. "Tell me all about her Shoto~"

With that said, I told her everything . When this feeling came when I was around her, about the injury of my wrist and my cast, and about last night.

My mother had her arms crossed and closed her eyes as she let out a slow hum. "Shoto, I think I know what this is. I think you love this girl, and you don't even realize it. So what is her name then?"

"Yaoyorozu Momo."

"What a beautiful name, tell me, is she beautiful?" She asked another question.

I mumbled my next words carefully and answered honestly to my mother. "E-extremely.."

"You have a wonderful taste in women, Shoto. And you were lucky enough to find your future wife." I stared blankly at my mother, without words.
