Days passed, School was fulfilled within common lessons that every High Schooler have. But today, it's different. All of your classmates got the Hero costume that any of you had designed before, made all of the kids instantly get excited. Even All Might, the number one hero came and instructed the 1-A Students to attend a Battle Trial in Grounds Beta.

"Heroes and Villains! We'll begin our Battle Trial!"

"... Uh-I'll pass.."

"Sadly yes, young (L/N). You can watch their match or help me to conduct the Battle!"

"Are you sure, S-Sir?"

"Yes! No worries because I'm here!"

"Okay..?"

The battle was severe, you couldn't slew your attention away from them. Especially when Midoriya against Bakugō, the brave declaration which uttered from Midoriya's mouth, reverberated amongst the Battle. Nonetheless, in the end, the Heroes team won with Uraraka's effort. A magnificent battle, for you, but the others stamped that the Battle was too exaggerating.

"Sure thing. I'm gonna help you to clean their fusses."

"We-We're very sorry to caused you any trouble, (L/N)!"

"It's fine, Iida-kun... Where's Midoriya-kun?"

"Recovery Girl took him, he's very injured."

"Gosh, God bless him!"

You emanated a short breath before used your Quirk to eradicated the mess caused by the A Team. However, All Might chose to let the team B started their Battle in the same time, which let your works unfinished. The second battle somehow staggered you, without any hesitation, Todoroki reached the victory just by freezing the crumpled building, let his opponents freezed and unable to move. Such an ironic battle, left some of your classmates terrified within the heterochromia boy's entity.

All Might chose to postponed the Battle Trial since the school almost ended, ordered another your classmates came back to class and changed their costume back into their uniforms. An exception for you, All Might tagged you along with him to visit Midoriya.

"...Is he going to be okay?"

"Maybe... I know you could read everything in my mind, young (L/N). You must know that young Midoriya inherit my Quirk, One For All."

".. Yes, he hasn't been able to control his Quirk and ended up hurting himself..."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be, All Might. He'd learn how to control it later, I believe he'll overcome that."

"I hope so too, young (L/N)."

Then, you and All Might entered the Healthy Room where Recovery Girl was treating Midoriya. Midoriya still unconscious, lurched beneath his rest. Thus, Recovery Girl screeched about how badly Midoriya injured and how careless All Might is. Instead of contributed inside the skirmish, you leaned closer towards Midoriya and lent your palm onto his forehead,

"You're such a great Hero, Midoriya-kun. Sleep well for now.."

Using your Quirk, you undirectly sent a pleasant dream for Midoriya before retreated yourself away from the room and left the school. A day after the exhausting day, 1-A students to learn common lessons along the day. No physical lesson or practice, merely theory or calculation emerged towards all of the students. Even, the last hours were devastating,

"As an U.A's Student, any of you must know your Quirk. Maybe, some of you don't fully recognize or know about your Quirk. Now, I'll give you a work-in-pair assignment and should be submitted tomorrow."

"What's that, Aizawa-sensei?"

"Comment your partner's Quirk, give any suggestion or criticism about how they use their Quirk. Your partner'll be random, I'd decide it by lottery."

'Ugh, lottery. Only 50% of probability to get paired up with someone that I acknowledge.' You cursed surly before chose to take the number. You got 4 and informed your teacher about it,

"I got 4, Aizawa-sensei."

"Your partner is Todoroki. Congratulation."

You shuddered rapidly whilst heard the notorious name, sure you've talked once to the Half-and-Half boy, but it's just a tentative conversation. For the sake of your score, you didn't have any choice left but to work together with him. After the school's bell has rung, you approached the boy,

"Uh-Todoroki, kun?"

"Yes?"

"I'm your partner.. Should we discuss together or do it by ourselves?"

"... Discuss it together'll be more efficient."

"Ah-I see. Where'll gather for the discussion?"

"Your house?"

"O-Okay.. I'll guide the way the-Wait-"

You fished out your phone from your pocket, sent a Text Message saying that you'll walk on feet with Todoroki, who stated as a Friend. Somehow, you felt nervous and dubious around Todoroki. You'd never expect what's inside a cold and distant like him, you wouldn't be able to decipher his mind unless you're using your Quirk. Several seconds later, a reply received by your phone saying that you're allowed to go.

"Okay, my car has left. Shall we go?"

".. Yes."

Without any refusal, Todoroki tagged along behind you. There wasn't any conversation latched amongst the way. His countenance changed whilst he encountered your home, the modern and sophisticated building that become your shelter. You unearthed that he might have the bigger house since he's the son of the Number Two's Hero, but he was startled.

"Some people stamp my house as Mansion. But no, it's not as fine like what the outside is."

".. Means you're rich."

"Oh. No?"

"What's your parents's job?"

You halted your steps whilst flashed a thin smile towards him before proceed to enter your house. Your workers greeted you which you regally replied, the Half-and-Half boy dumbfounded seeing the rare spectacles. Suddenly, the familiar entity of a woman scurried towards both of you and Todoroki,

"Finally, my (F/N) is back! And, you're bringing me your  future husband?"

"He isn't, Mom! He's just a friend-"

"Oh silly, I needn't to use my Quirk to see that-"

Todoroki interrupted the abashment conversation between you and your mother with a polite bow, caught your mother's attention.

"I'm Shōto Todoroki."

"Todoroki? As if Endeavor?"

"He's my father, Madam (L/N)."

"Very polite of you, Todoroki-kun. You might call me (M/N) (L/N), and I believe you'll be more familiar with my other name, CrimsonPhysic."

"Oh. So, It's you.."

"Yes! Now, I don't want to disturb your private time~ See you later, Todoroki-kun. And (F/N), I'm going to my office again. Might see you on the evening."

With that, she left you and Todoroki alone. Didn't want to emanated any askew callisthenics, you chose to walked to your room. Silence grasped both of you, comprehended what kind of circumstances both of you're in. But when the door of your room furled closed, Todoroki spoke first,

"Your parents work as Heroes?"

"..Well, Yes.. I don't want to tell it towards another person but yeah..."

"Why?"

"Do you know how it feels when you're compared with your own parent? It's soo disgusting, I mean I'm nor like my parent. I'm my ownself."

"You're as strong as your parent, (L/N)."

".. Is that supposed as a compliment?"

"Yes."

"Thank you, Todoroki-kun. But, you do realize that it means I'm carrying another burden on my shoulders, right? I know you feel the same too, related to your Father."

"My old man doesn't care about me."

"I know-"

You halted your sentence whilst sat on the chair in front of your desk. Your eyes latched its gaze onto the work papers, you began to wrote some words.

"Even to have such a hazard Quirk like this suffocated me. I couldn't watch myself dying because the heavy burden I'm carrying, plus people's expectations.."

"... I see.."

"Talking about that-your Quirk is Half-Cold Half-Hot, right?"

"Yes."

"I see. Though, You rarely use your left side."

"It's the same as my old man, I reject him. I obliged myself to use my mother's Quirk to become the number one hero."

"Well, it'll kill you."

"I don't care."

"You should care. A decision which is taken on severe times usually bring people to another catastrophe."

You emanated a short breath, Todoroki skid into the translucent silence, his usual stoical countenance maintained. But you could tell that he's indeed astounded to seeing how far both of your conversation had gone, like you've known each others for a long time. He sensed something peculiar from you, something which enraptured the magnate Shōto Todoroki. Broke the silence, you assigned him the working paper,

"I've done my part, Todoroki-kun."

".. Okay, that's fast.."

"I dislike to work in a long range of time, that's it."

"About before-"

"We needn't to discuss about it further, Todoroki-kun. I don't intend to offend you more."

"(L/N)-"

"It seems that you needn't my assistance more. You can do your part in your own, right?"

".. Yes."

"Good. Thank you so much for your time, Todoroki-kun. Fancy to working together with you."

Did you expelled him from your house? No, you did it for his own sake. Such a cliche reason, you've scoured inside his reverie. He has a severe past, not as dim as yours but to charcoaled such stories would need an enormous trust and couragement. You've just met, it'd be rude and delinquent to let people speak up their mind easily even if you've known it. Understood your motive, Todoroki retreated himself from your room and left your house, didn't forget to send a gratitude and farewell towards your mother. Even your mother got curious about the Half-and-Half boy and inquired you,

"Does he nice, (F/N)?"

"Nice doesn't describe him well. He's still dubious..."

"It's hard to be the only Endeavor's son."

"He hates his dad, and pledged to not use his left side."

"It'll be dangerous!"

"I know, mother. But, I'm also trying to help him to find a way out from there."

"You care about your future husband so much, (F/N)."

"I told you he's not my future husband, not even my friend.."

Meanwhile, in the same time, Todoroki's heterochromatic orbs syrupy examined your written syllables on the working paper. A thin red emerged onto his cheeks, he's ablush.

Comment On Shōto Todoroki's Quirk:

Half-Cold and Half-Hot is such a strong Quirk and very useful in the battle ground. Even Ice and Fire such a contradictary onto each others but Todoroki could use it, manifest his Quirk very well. He's the strongest one, and I might add as well, he'll make a good hero.

Suggestion/Criticism for Todoroki:

It's okay to use your left side, to concreted the full power of your Quirk. Using your left side doesn't mean you're supporting your father, it means you're accepting yourself whoever you're like me who accept whenever your Quirk is. And don't be deeply drowned inside your own indignation. Did I write it using 'you'? i'm sorry. – (F/N) (L/N)
