(Y/n)’s POV

I sat at the table with Mei, spending the day with her silently. “Hotshot 10 o’clock~!” My eyebrow raised at her outburst my eyes boredly trailing that way. Walking into the small cafe was Shoto and Momo causing me to groan internally. Let me clarify that these past two weeks were very stressful. I didn’t want to see them, it hurt, but I accepted it. Yet he didn’t? I turned into a mouse, climbing into my bag with struggle before he saw me. “Why do you keep avoiding him?” She whispered to my bag, I glared at her chittering angrily. “Okay. I get it, let me pay and we can go..” She got pretty good at knowing when I’m not okay in public, so she stood and paid, I peered at her as she made it back over and grabbed our drinks after sliding my bag over her shoulder.

Once outside, I looked into the window seeing him looking to the side, not really focused on the excited raven haired girl. After she carried me off I morphed back.

“I’m avoiding him cause he keeps trying to scout me out! It’s annoying. Can't he leave me alone?” I glared at the ground, kicking it.

“Maybe he’s sorry for being a total ass!” I rolled my eyes.

“He wasn’t a complete ass, just a little off putting. I mean, I was so excited that I found him, it’s really my fault. But he’s at fault for running. I’m already over him.” Mei scoffed causing me to point at her accusingly. “And what do you think?”

“You’re not, it’s obvious you want to be a good soulmate. Honestly you tend to make me think of an envious protective mate. Maybe cause you spend so much of your time as animals.” She joked causing me to blush and shove her. “Hey! You know I’m right! Just try to be his friend! You don’t have to make out or anything!” Her emphasis on 'make out' told me she totally wanted us to which caused me to shudder.

“Ew, but okay…. Maybe.” I gave it a second, pondering. “Nah, I’m fine.” I concluded, shuddering at the past experience. And that was two days ago. Two. Nope, not over it. I straightened myself, taking the drink from her, walking quickly away from the cafe to my house.

“Hey! I swear to god! You need to! You’d be so cute together!” I stopped and looked at her, choking on a laugh.

“No shit Hatsume! He’s my soulmate!” She bashfully looked away.

“Oh yeah! Sorry!” She ruffled her hair, laughing as she closed the distance walking with me to my house. “You need to be friendly though, it’s the only way to ever get him to see your true beauty.”

“Nope.” I answered instantly. “Something happened between us and I am not going to friend him so soon.”

“Tell me!” She whined.

“No!” I shouted, shutting the door on her. “Go home!” Listening to her whine I hadn’t noticed my parents walk into the living room happily.

“We have news!” I jumped, screaming.

“HOLY GREAT GODS ABOVE!” I screeched looking at them. They laughed, stumbling out apologies that they didn’t mean. "What’s the news?" I asked once I calmed down, locking the door so Mei couldn’t get in.

“My job is having me travel to the Amazon Jungle. And you guys can come with me!” My mom cheered. “Only if you want to! No pressure!” I looked to the side in thought. I bet it’d be beautiful. Just like anything else that had a tragic backstory. I smiled, nodding.

“Will we be at the dead part or the lush forest?” I asked, either being perfect for me.

“Both! Taking a day or two in each.” I gasped happily.

“When?” I bounced in place, this breathtaking adventure might be what I need.

“In a week sweetheart, I’m sorry that it isn’t so soon, I was just too excited.” My bouncing slowed before I grinned, jumping on them in a huge hug.

“No! That’s fine! Perfect even! Thank you!” My dad tapped out after a second causing me to let go.

“You’ve had so much on your mind, I begged that the next exhibit I explore I be able to bring you guys.” My mom smiled gently causing me to smile back, my eyes watering.

“Thank you…” She hugged me telling me to wash up cause she’d be getting dinner done soon. So I did just that. Maybe it’d be good for once. Maybe this month won’t just be a game of cat and mouse.

Shoto's POV

It was annoying. I know she's avoiding me. I sat on my futon, staring blankly at the picture I still hadn't returned, I mean, I couldn't. You wouldn't anyway. I rolled my eyes, listening to the voice in my head. I sighed, laying down thinking back to all the past attempts when I saw her.

"We could study tonight after school! It'd be so fun!" I nodded to Momo's enthusiastic request.

"I'd love too." I took her hand, noticing her stiffen some. "Maybe we could study at my house. My dad won't be there anyway." She let go of my hand and hugged herself happily. 

"Sure if you want! But will an adult be present?" I nodded, catching a glimpse of (h/c).

"My sister, yes. Hey.. hold on." I moved around her and walked over quickly to the corner and sighed, not seeing her. "Dammit… I need to ask her." I huffed out, turning and being met with Momo.

"Need to ask who what?" She tilted her head looking over my shoulder.

"That support girl. I was going to see how much she'd charge for more fireproof shirts." And don't get me wrong I did, but I wanted to see her arm. I needed to know! She nodded slowly and we walked back to the classroom.

I sat up and glared at my door, suddenly remembering that that night really fucked up a majority of my happiness. “Fucking father….” I snarled, balling up my fist not holding the photo. Realizing it was still in my grasp, I put it back in it’s safe spot and sighed.

Opening her door, I smiled and thanked her chauffeur for driving us. “Come back in two hours please!” She asked sweetly, the driver nodded and we watched him drive off before I smiled and walked up to the door. Before I even could open it for her it opened on its own.

“SHOTO! I HEARD YOU GOT A GIRLFRIEND!” I growled, my eyes narrowing at the tall male, I stood between them. “Oh! Yaoyorozu’s daughter? She’s a spitting image of her mother!” I paled, instantly not liking the look on his face. What’s he want with her?“Come in! Tell me about your quirk over some tea.” His tone had calmed and it frightened me, more so when he said quirk. He called a maid to make tea while ushering us inside. I stood protectively with her while she thanked him for his hospitality nervously before telling him what he wanted. I tried telling her to shush to no avail. And my dad's eyes grew brighter and brighter with every word. I grew uncomfortable knowing what was crossing his mind.

“Momo, please.” I begged. “Stop telling him.” Her hurtful expression shut me up and I sighed, letting them carry on.

I hated that, she left telling me she’s so happy my dads sooo awesome compared to what he displays. But no one would really understand how that’s a facade.. It was that night it all bothered me even more, cause if she was my soulmate, she’d know.

From thereon he invited her to dinners and out with other heros. Not wanting to be there myself made it so much harder knowing I had someone he was showing off as his ‘future daughter in law’. The comments I got and she got… they got bad. Who the fuck even said I wanted kids? I scowled thinking back on Mount Lady commenting about how cute they’d be. And Momo was awkward with them too, but it seemed she didn’t even want to be around me. She never openly accepts my hugs and I feel I'm pressuring her… I can’t help it though. I’m stressed over my possible soulmate avoiding me like a fucking ninja. It’s been more difficult to sleep, and I dunno, just hoped cuddling could help… My mind swarmed with what I could do to find comfort.. And to talk to the goddamn girl.

The next day I had a pile of fire resistant shirts on my desk. So she was around me, maybe if I would have kept going I'd have seen her..

Walking down school halls was a nightmare, people must have thought I was crazy. At any hint of her (h/c) locks I’d run from the group, mostly Midoriya, Iida, Ochako, and Momo, they’d get worried and after the first few times kept trying to follow me. Though, I never found her. It was always empty or too crowded to carry on with the search.

Dammit! I swear! I growled, it had been Thursday yet I hadn’t seen her all week. Not in the support projects building, at lunch, even Mei told me "Sorry. I'm sworn to secrecy!" I kicked the floor in anger and seethed at the pain in my leg, feeling the flowers growing under my pants. Just great. I'm not finding her cause she's out doing stupid shit! I bent down, deciding to roll up my pant leg. During the process I saw a cute sparkly pen on the ground. I had ignored the questioning glances from the four as I picked up the pen and examined it for any name or anything.

(I dont normally throw pictures in mid way but choose a pen! Lolol)
Upon not finding one I opened it, testing it on my hand. Smiling in victory of ink I closed it and carried on causing the others to follow my figure with questioning stares. I had actually forgotten why I was down that hallway. My hand absentmindedly clicked on the pen the rest of the way, setting it in my pocket with a final click, I entered the males changing room with Iida and Midoriya.

"That's a ...pretty pen you found." The latter commented, making me smile as I pulled off my clothes.

"Yeah." I hummed, stopping at a wet feeling on my hand. Turning over my top, I blinked at the ink that had filled my pocket. I took out the pen and twirled it in my hand as the ink leaked out.

"Uhh, Todoroki, I think that pen is busted." I frowned at Iida's words, nodding solemnly as I threw the shirt then pen in the trash. "I'll buy you one!" He hurriedly added. I shook my head, already grabbing my hero costume, sliding it on.

"I don't need one anyway.. " I muttered, walking out.

That was my most recent attempt. I had given up trying to find her at school, I knew I couldn’t. But the more I thought about her the worse it got. My paranoia, at least I assume you’d call it that. I was so fascinated I just need to see her and ask. Just ask that one small question. I rolled over onto my stomach unable to know why I couldn’t get her out of my head. Its like her face and name haunted me, but it never brought a bad feeling. And because of Momo’s reactions, it’s only gotten so much worse. I don’t feel welcomed to hold her hand even, so I keep adding distance between us. Maybe if I find what my problem is with (Y/n) and sort it out, I can focus on Momo more. I smiled some, before it fell. I need to know why she hates physical contact. It was her that asked me out.

I grabbed my phone off its charger, scrolling through (Y/n)’s profile. I started doing this occasionally after Hatsume tagged her in a photo. Her name isn’t even hers, it’s a made up one. I looked at all the photos she shared and added, most of them being inspirational quotes or art and nature pictures. It didn’t resemble the girl I met, she was ruthless and rude. The girl behind this account was sweet and wanted to help everyone. I sat up with renewed hope to push the (h/c) brat out of my head by dialing up Momo’s number.

“Hi Shoto! Is something wrong?” I smiled hearing her voice and hummed.

“There’s this cafe down the road from me, and I wanted to know if you’d join me…” I trailed off, suddenly filled with the feeling she’d say no.

“.....Sure! Sorry I asked my mom.” I breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’ll come get you!” I stood, and walked out, peeking into the living room motioning to Fuyumi that I’d be leaving. She smiled and waved, I returned the gesture and slipped on my shoes walking out, still on the phone, but hadn’t heard any response. Looking down I saw that she had hung up and sighed. What am I doing wrong?

I opened the door to the cafe for her, smiling gently. It was empty enough I felt safe that no one would bombard us. She giggled and walked in causing me to sigh happily. So far, so good. I made my way over to order our drinks. Once we sat down she started excitedly telling me about a sleep over the girls had planned. I looked out the window, only half listening. She’s only excited when she’s talking about the other girls in class…

“And Mina invited Hatsume from the Support Class, and she’s inviting an (Y/n), whoever that is. Mina said she could! Oh, I hope I make a new friend!” My eyes lit at the name and I nodded as our drinks were sat down.

“Same..” I debated to ask her. Maybe she just doesn’t like germs? I tried to reason with myself.

“Hey! Are you okay?” I blinked and grabbed my drink, taking a sip.

“Totally, sorry…” She furrowed her brows.

“Okay.. So I ha-” She was cut off by her phone going off and I raised a brow as she grabbed it, answering. “Hello!” I couldn’t hear the voice on the other end, though I could tell it was feminine. “Oh? Yes, okay! I’ll be there right away!” The lack of hesitation in her voice silently hurt me, but I kept myself composed as I took another drink. “I’m sorry Shoto, the girls are wanting me to go shopping with them before the sleepover! I'll see you later!" She smiled, already running out. I gave her a soft one before sighing. So much for that.. I grabbed my drink and paid, leaving.

Btw. I killed my friend with it lol. Right Emonekochan26 ~?
