[ 3rd's P.O.V ]

Every single person who's born amidst the diversity in the enormous Earth have their own starting line. Some happened when they found their dreams, the others when they could successfully ventured every problems that laced onto their shoulders, or for simple, when they finally be able to say, 'Here I'm, this is where my life begin.' But for Todoroki, his starting line emanated when he finally could encounter his mother directly after thousand years. He's being a telltale, decipher every moments that had passed on his life without his mother's entity. The world didn't revolve only around him and his old man, but also his mother.

Instead of coming back to his manor and listened for his old man's blabber, he chose to sauntered around the small city. A simple yet magnificent city, not as crowded as where his life taken a part on. Whilst walking passed a motley of stores, his ears caught a familiar voice from a nearby cafe. The voice swiftly enraptured his attention, stifled him to entered the cafe. It was none other than (F/N) (L/N) who's singing a random song as playing guitar. For a moment, the time halted for a while, how (F/N) could mesmerize him easily never could be solved by him. Later, their gaze met each others and Todoroki chose to bought a beverage and took a seat near the windows.

After the notable lassie's performance ended, still staggered with the sudden meeting between them, scurried towards Todoroki and inquired questions that might erase her awkwardness or curiousness,

"...Shōto, why're you here?"

"You want me to leave, (F/N)? That's not how you treat your customer."

"That's not what I meant-Are you sort of stalking me or-?"

"No."

"So? It's scary! There's only 0.05 percent of possibility to meet my classmates around here. And from that such small percentage, it has to be you!"

"I visited my mother on the hospital near here."

"..Oh.. Is that so? Sorry, I'll go then-!"

When (L/N) wanted to leave Todoroki alone, his hand grabbed onto her arm gently. With the startled swift and delicate gestures that she received, her cheeks dusted with reddish, translucent pattern. What made her staggered her even more that Todoroki's gaze was very different from before, they're become softer and sent a relaxing yet weird pleasure beneath it, at least, for (F/N).

"Stay with me, (F/N)."

The simple and lavish syllables that (F/N) has ever heard uttered from the certain boy, who would be able to resist the offer which set (F/N)'s heart flutters? She shook her head before took a seat across Todoroki, keeping the vicinity between them. Instead to letting both of them skid into abashment, Todoroki fished out his book and read it quietly. But of course, (F/N) wouldn't let silence scraped both of them,

"How's your mother. Shōto?"

"She's fine.. You can use your Quirk to read my mind, why'd you ask?"

"Gezz-Using Quirk outside the school is delinquent, you know? Besides, it's more credible if I heard it directly."

"She has forgiven me, I've cleared my problems."

"That's good to hear. Will you forgive your father soon, then?"

".. Who knows?"

Such a vestigial answer for someone as serious as Todoroki, but (F/N) didn't want to scour the problems deeper, she didn't want to offend or make a mistake which might made Todoroki infuriated. Thus, her eyes landed onto the book that Todoroki's currently reading, the notorious and medieval book,

"Isn't it Shakespeare's book? About what?"

"Macbeth."

"Oh, I know it! I've heard that it's one of the most tragic trilogy from his plays!"

"You knew it?"

"Of course, duh-Don't think I only know about Romeo and Juliet! Sure it's a very good story but... meh, cheesy.."

"It's not good, it's awful. Why'd they choose to die? Risking their lifes?"

"For their love. They'll do anything for their love to be kept, to be together. Even if it means, they should sacrificed their lifes."

"It's insane."

"Not for them and me... I'd do the same if it's for someone that I love.."

Heard that, both of Todoroki's eyes widened for a while, bewildered about the message which lured beneath (F/N)'s syllables. Nonetheless, their conversation was interrupted because the Manager of the Cafe came and chatted with (F/N) over some matters. When the manager had left, (F/N) elevated her body from the seat. Imperceptibly, Todoroki also followed her to stood up.

"Shōto?"

"I'll walk you home."

"No-You needn't to do that!"

"I insist, (F/N). It's been quite late. Now, let's go?"

"I don't want to bother you, I'm fine walking home alone."

"No."

"Wait-"

(L/N) still regally insisted not to be walked home by Todoroki, but she was late. Her left palm collided with Todoroki's palm. Didn't want to let (F/N)'s yowl droned more, Todoroki dragged (F/N) away to leave the Cafe. Again, both of (L/N)'s cheek blushed redder, she's embarrassed about the fact that Todoroki would do such brave gestures like that. Not just the proximity between them, she's also embarrassed about how far and quick their relationship has escalated. Sure, awkward silence gripped both of them, or maybe Todoroki who seemed keeping his stoical countenance. (F/N) later broke the silence,

"You needn't to hold my hand, Shōto... I'm not going to leave you or being kidnapped around here.."

"You dislike it?"

"No-I mean-..."

What should (F/N) answer? She likes the warmth which sent by Todoroki's bigger palm, his touch is like how an Artist tried to touch their masterpiece, soft and gentle, she loves it. Those gazes, the gentle and loveable gaze from Todoroki, it's like seeing the constellation and spangly stars revolved around her, for short, extravagant. Does (F/N) cherish those moments when she realized how beautiful Todoroki is? The answer is /absolutely/ yes, along with the idyllic feeling which emerged onto her heart.

"Your hand is warmth, I'm quite surprised.."

"You think it's too cold or too hot like when I'm using my Quirk?"

"Gosh, Shōto! I'm trying to be romantic here!... Wait, did you try to make a joke?"

".. I was.."

"That's hilarious! Ugh-"

".. Should I thank you?"

"No need to thanks me! I should be the one who said that to you.."

"... Okay, no problem.."

Their ways continued with comfortable silence gilded, mayhap, they chose to used the public transport. Later, arrived in front of (L/N)'s house, Todoroki had retracted his hand from (L/N)'s hand. A thin smile plastered onto her visage before she bowed politely towards Todoroki who has been accompanying her that day,

"Thank you for walking me home, Shōto!"

"You're welcome, (F/N)."

"Good day and take care, Shōto."

"Will do."

"Uhm-W-Wait-"

For a brief second, adrenaline inside (F/N) was increased drastically, made her abashment obliterated. Being fearless, (F/N) leaned closer towards him and pecked his cheek, lent a short and quick kiss,

".. See you later, Shōto.."

Swiftly, (F/N) parted herself from Todoroki and run to leave Todoroki dumbfounded. He could even comprehend what had happened for several seconds later, made his cheeks flushed rapidly. Instead of making himself more embarrassed, he chose to left (L/N)'s house and walked towards his own home. Thus, another day had passed /again/.
