My Hero Academia Oneshots

(Hello! I decided to give this chapter a bit kinder of a mood than some of the others,so tell me how you guys feel about it! The song for this chapter is called ‘Dancing Without Music’,and it’s by BRDGS)

From the very first moment I met you

I was yours

“(First Name),come on! It’s our first day,we can’t be late!” Her best-friend,Ryuuji,shouted into the almost empty apartment. (First Name) stumbled out of her room,tying back her hair as she stumbled towards the door. She grabbed her bag and slipped her shoes on quickly,apologizing as she did so. 

“Sorry,sorry! I didn’t mean to oversleep!” She said,Ryuuji just shaking his head. 

“You’re such an idiot,you know? You definitely owe me for waking you up all the time!” He told her,making the girl turn around so he could fix her ponytail. 

“I’ll make you a bento tomorrow,’kay? I’m sorry!” (First Name) said,the boy just sighing. He understood her family situation,so he wasn’t actually angry with her. 

“Let’s just hurry up and get to school,okay?” He asked,grabbing her hand and pulling her outside. He released her wrist when she started to walk beside him,glad that she was listening to him today. 

(First Name) and Ryuuji walked towards their school in silence,though (First Name) froze at the front gate when she saw a half-and-half boy she had never seen before. While most of the other students had come to attend Michimiya Middle School from Michiyagi Elementary School,this boy seemed to be one of the ‘rare weirdos’. 

“(First Name),what’s wrong? We’ll be late at this rate,” Ryuuji sighed,grabbing her wrist. (First Name) pulled her arm out of Ryuuji’s hold and walked over to Shoto,her (Eye Color) eyes sparkling. 

“Have you met this kitten before?” She asked Shoto curiously,the half-and-half boy giving her a cold glare as she knelt down. (First Name) just grinned at him,holding her hand out to the kitten,who pressed into her touch after realizing she wasn’t a threat. 

“(First Name),let’s go! We’re gonna be late,you idiot!” Ryuuji shouted at her,(First Name) just pouting as she turned to look at him. She stuck her tongue out childishly before she stood up once again.

“You didn’t go to Michiyagi,right? I hope we can become friends!” (First Name) told Shoto,who just glared harshly as the girl ran over to Ryuuji. 

“Have you met that kid before? He’s scary looking..” Ryuuji asked,(First Name) elbowing him. 

“Don’t be mean! Anyone that a kitten likes is definitely a good person!” (First Name) said,Ryuuji just laughing and nodding. 

“Yeah,yeah.. Whatever you say,you air-head.” He told her as he headed inside. (First Name) walked inside happily,swapping her shoes out calmly. When she saw that the bell was about to ring,however,she quickly slipped her indoor shoes on and ran to the classroom,passing a teacher that began to shout at her not to run in the hallways. She just made it to her classroom with a grin,flopping down in an empty seat right before the bell rang. 

The half-and-half boy walked into class right on time as well,(First Name) perking up when she saw him. While Ryuuji wouldn’t be in the same class as her this year,she could definitely befriend half-and-half. 

During attendance,(First Name) found out that half-and-half’s name was Shoto Todoroki,which just ignited her excitement even more. 

Since their first day was only an orientation day,(First Name) was able to walk home with Ryuuji earlier than usual that day,the girl rambling excitedly about how she would befriend Shoto and make him stop glaring. Ryuuji just listened and laughed,knowing how stubborn his friend could be. 

Every part of me knew it

I’d never felt like that before

“Shoto! Hey,Shoto! Half-and Half! Shoto!” (First Name) called a month into the school year. She had been pestering the boy since the beginning of the school year,trying to test just what she should say to get him to like her,and unfortunately for Shoto,they were deskmates. 

“(Last Name),don’t call me so familiarly. How many times do I have to tell you that?” Shoto growled out,already fed up with the girl’s attitude. (First Name) grinned at him,leaning over and peering at him. 

“Why not? We’re friends,right?” She asked,the boy trying to hold himself back from snapping. 

“I’m not here to make friends. This place is nothing more than a stepping stone.” Shoto growled out,(First Name) just pouting. 

“Well you don’t need friends if you have a best-friend,right? So just consider me your best-friend!” (First Name) said,grinning at him. Shoto just scoffed and continued his work,though he soon sighed. 

“Aren’t you going to do your work?” He asked,annoyed by the fact that she didn’t even have a pencil in her hand. 

“Aww,are you worried? I’ve already finished my work,so don’t worry your pretty little heart about it!” (First Name) told him,winking cheekily. 

“I’m not worried about you!” He snapped,the teacher shushing both of them. Shoto just glared at (First Name),who was trying not to giggle. 

After their class was finished and the time for gym class rolled around,both (First Name) and Shoto changed into their gym clothes before heading to the gym. 

“(First Name),are you gonna be okay using your Quirk? You freaked out last time..” One of her friends,Minami,asked. 

“Of course I’ll be fine! I’m not a kid.” (First Name) said with a grin. Shoto scoffed as he walked by them,ready to use his ice to display his power. They were allowed to freely use their Quirks during gym class in order to give them more experience in Quirk usage and the dangers that accompany it,so he was fine with not holding himself back. 

“We’re playing volleyball today. Use your Quirks to help,but they can’t pass the net or else I’ll consider it cheating.” The gym teacher told them,everyone nodding. 

After drawing lots,(First Name) and Shoto ended up on the same team,which annoyed the boy. 

“Just stay out of my way. Got it?” He growled at her,(First Name) grinning. 

“Of course,” She said,the teacher flipping a coin to see which team would serve first. 

“Alexander’s team will be serving first.” The woman said,tossing the ball to the towering giant of a man. 

“(First Name),we’ll be counting on you,then.” Her friend,Mirai,told her. 

“Of course. Leave it to me.” (First Name) said,grinning slightly as she took her own position as the setter. Shoto was in the back middle,ready to use his ice to his advantage. 

“I won’t be holding back,then..” Alexander warned,his mouth turning up in a twisted smirk. Everyone on their team wavered except for (First Name),who just smirked back at him. Shoto was even thrown back by the sudden change in atmosphere,not having expected either of them to be so serious. Alexander did a jump serve,aiming straight for Shoto. The boy used his ice to prepare a wall around himself,his eyes widening when the wind suddenly shifted before the ball could even make it to him. The ball flew towards (First Name),who bumped it up and shouted at Mirai and Sekai to follow up. Shoto watched in shock as the duo followed up,Mirai setting the ball high in the air as Sekai spiked it down. 

“Who has the wind Quirk?!” Shoto shouted angrily,(First Name) just raising her hand and grinning at him. 

“Your ice isn’t good for this,Shoto. The ball would have just bounced right off of it,and I don’t feel like losing today,so I used my Quirk.” She said,Shoto growling angrily. He reached out and melted the wall of ice,hating that he had to use his father’s Quirk at all. 

“Don’t insult my ice,(Last Name).” He spat. 

“I’m not insulting you,Shoto,but I won’t let us lose this game. The losers have to buy the other team icecream after school,and I don’t feel like paying.” (First Name) said,grinning at him. Shoto just glared at her,trying to keep his temper down. 

The game went smoothly until the last set,where they were tied. (First Name) was struggling to catch her breath,a side-effect from overusing her Quirk,and it was starting to make her lightheaded. The girl went down suddenly,everyone freezing up immediately. 

“Oi,(Last Name),are you alright?” Shoto called out to her,not sure whether that was expected or not. He had learned that most of the kids at his school had grown up together,so he was waiting to see how the others reacted. 

“I’m.. I’m fine.. Watch.. Watch his serve..” (First Name) panted out,forcing herself back to her feet. She could hardly breathe,but that didn’t stop the girl from wanting to continue the game. Alexander just smirked and did another powerful jump serve,aiming at (First Name) herself this time. Shoto tried to make an ice wall to block it,not caring that it would cost them a point,but he didn’t make it on time. (First Name) tried to dig the ball out,the power behind it sending her flying backwards. She managed to use her second Quirk at the last second,a pool of water catching her before she could hit the wall. Shoto’s eyes widened when he saw it,absolutely shocked that the girl had two Quirks like he did. 

“Alex,that was taking it too far! (Last Name) was barely even able to stand!” Mirai shouted,the water splashing to the floor as (First Name) finally passed out. Shoto caught her before she could hit the ground,the gym teacher telling him to take her to the nurse. 

Nearly an hour passed before (First Name) finally woke up,the girl in a bit of a daze at first. She looked around as she sat up,her eyes widening when she saw Shoto next to her. 

“Shoto..?!” She asked,unable to hide the shock in her voice. 

“Why do you have two Quirks?” Shoto asked her,his eyes full of anger. He was actually worried about her,though it came off the wrong way. 

“Why..? Well,I inherited both my mother’s Quirk and my father’s Quirk..” (First Name) said,rubbing the back of her neck as she gave an awkward smile. “You’re the same,right? Did your parents have a Quirk marriage as well?” 

“It was a Quirk marriage..? Are your parents still together?” Shoto asked,staring at her curiously. He had never met someone like him before,let alone someone born from another Quirk marriage. 

“No.. My folks broke up when my Quirks showed up.” (First Name) said,looking down at her lap awkwardly. “I,uh.. I kinda live alone now ‘cause of it..” 

“I’m sorry,” Shoto muttered,(First Name) looking at him in surprise before she threw her head back and laughed. “Why are you laughing?” 

“Because you did nothing wrong! Me having two Quirks made you anxious,huh? It’s fine,you don’t need to worry! I can barely keep my wind Quirk under control,and overusing my water Quirk makes me feel sick,so people tend to think of me as Quirkless anyways,” (First Name) told him,grinning. “Hey,Shoto,we can be friends now,right?! I’ll be good,I promise! I won’t pester you as much anymore,and I’ll do anything you ask,alright?” 

“Why do you want to be friends so badly?” Shoto asked,sighing a bit. He had the tiniest sliver of a smile on his face,which made (First Name)’s eyes light up when she saw his expression. 

“It’s because you’re cool! Your ice is really beautiful and cool!” (First Name) told him,grinning cheekily. “Not only that,but that kitten liked you,remember? If a kitten likes a complete stranger,then obviously that stranger is a good person!” 

“It only liked me because I’m warm,” Shoto told her,though he did let out a slight chuckle. “Cats like warm people,after all.” 

“It doesn’t matter whether your Quirk makes you warm or not,that kitten liked you,and you took the time to stop and pet it! Some people would have just walked by it,you know? I think it makes you cool!” She told him,Shoto just sighing. 

“I’m not here to make friends,but I’ll make an exception for you,” The half-and-half boy told her,(First Name) cheering and launching herself at him childishly. His chair tilted back,both of them falling to the floor. Shoto just sat there in stunned silence for a moment,before the boy began to laugh when he saw how worried she looked. (First Name)’s eyes widened when he laughed,her face flooding with color suddenly. 

She hadn’t expected to fall in love with her friend just because he laughed,but she found herself completely enamored.  

To the edge of the world I would go

If you’d only ask me to

(First Name) and Shoto’s friendship blossomed throughout their first year,with (First Name) eagerly doing everything Shoto asked her. After meeting each-other,both of them found themselves feeling less alone. 

“(Last Name),it’s time we go back to class,” Shoto said softly,trying to shake the girl awake gently. “Come on,wake up.” He sighed,(First Name) snuggling into his left side as she continued to sleep. She had gotten into the habit of using the boy as her personal heater when they went to the roof for lunch,something that Shoto pretended to hate even though he found it rather cute. 

“Fi… min..” (First Name) muttered,rubbing her cheek against his arm. The boy just sighed,giving up on waking her up for now. He knew they’d get in trouble later for skipping class,but he didn’t really care much. 

Sometimes,Shoto caught himself thinking it wasn’t bad to have his father’s Quirk because when (First Name) was cold,he could warm her up. He would erase the thought from his mind as quickly as it came,but it always lingered in the back of his mind.  

And I wish you would

I wish you would

(First Name) and Shoto spent their second year of middle school getting even closer. Since (First Name) had nobody waiting for her at home,and since Shoto was desperate to avoid going home,they spent most of their time together after school. 

“(First Name),what’s this scar from?” Shoto asked her curiously one day when he looked at her wrist. Around (First Name),he could forget about his father for a while. 

“Hm? Oh,when I was younger there was an old man in my neighborhood who did a pottery class. Since it was close to my house and the lessons were cheap,I took his class for a few years. Since he was fine with me coming in and out of his shop whenever I wanted to,I got into a habit of going there even at night. Since he would obviously have to lock up the shop,I would just sit outside,but then one day there was a guy there trying to break in. He was going to stab the guard dog,but I managed to get in the way on time.” (First Name) explained,Shoto listening with wide eyes. 

“You got stabbed over a guard dog?” He asked,(First Name) nodding and grinning. 

“It’s pretty cool,right? I felt like a hero,even though the police didn’t end up catching him!” She said,Shoto just shaking his head. 

“You shouldn’t endanger yourself like that.. Are you wanting to be a hero or something?” He asked,(First Name) grinning at him. 

“I wanted to be like All Might!” She told him,Shoto frowning a little at her words. 

“Don’t put yourself in too much danger.” He warned,(First Name) nodding and winking at him cheekily. 

“Of course I won’t,but don’t you dare underestimate me,Shoto!” She said,grinning. Shoto just sighed a bit,knowing how much of an airhead his friend was. 

But you can’t love me like I want you to

And I don’t want to face the truth

(First Name)’s parents made a sudden reappearance in her life during their third year of middle school,and life suddenly changed. 

“Shoto,stop with your little tantrum already and come with me!” Enji shouted at his son,grabbing the boy’s arm. Shoto tried to pull away,but his father dragged him outside and shoved him in the car. “We’re meeting someone important today!” 

“Let me out of here,old man!” Shoto snapped angrily,trying to get out. Enji kept the boy in the car,refusing to let him out despite his son’s struggles. 

Soon enough,they made it to a large,traditional temple. Shoto stared up at the temple in confusion,though the boy no longer tried to escape. He had decided to just play along with his father’s wishes for now,despite his disgust with the old man. 

“Let’s go,Shoto.” Enji ordered as he walked towards the front door. Shoto followed him,trying to keep his temper in line. 

“It’s good to see you again,Enji.” A woman with (Hair Color) hair greeted them as they made it to the door. She was in a traditional kimono,the woman lowering her head politely. Shoto just stared at her,before his eyes widened when he saw a familiar set of (Eye Color) eyes. 

“Welcome to our home.” (First Name) said politely. The girl was in a (Favorite Color) kimono,though she lowered herself politely. She seemed exactly like her mother,and it terrified Shoto to see her like this. She seemed completely calm. 

“(First Name),why are you here? What’s this about,you shitty old man?!” Shoto shouted,unable to keep his temper down anymore. 

“(First Name)? So you’ve met her already? I sent you to that school in hopes that you would,but I had my doubts that it would actually work out!” Enji said,throwing his head back as he laughed. “Shoto,this is your future wife!” 

“Future wife?! What the hell is this about?!” Shoto yelled,(First Name) flinching at how loudly he was yelling. They had told each-other of their childhood traumas earlier that year,with Shoto going into detail about Enji’s abuse and (First Name) going into detail about her mother’s abuse,so they were both upset. 

“Enji and I decided earlier this month that you and (First Name) are to be wed. It’s good that you already have a relationship with her,since that will make things easier from here on out.” Her mother said coldly. 

“We’re not dating!” Shoto snapped,(First Name)’s mother jerking around to look at her daughter. 

“(First Name),you dared to let a man you’re not dating refer to you so familiarly?! Are you some sort of slut!?” The woman shouted,her fan coming down and striking the girl’s face. Shoto’s eyes widened,the boy’s Quirk activating before he could even think. The fire covered his side,scorching straight through his clothes as he stood there. 

“Shoto,stop! I’m fine!” (First Name) shouted as she finally snapped out of her shock,wiping her cheek with the sleeve of her kimono. “You said you hate your fire,right? Don’t force yourself because of me..” She said,grabbing his face. Her mother watched in absolute disgust,while Enji’s eyes were full of excitement since his son had used his flames. 

“So hurting her is all it takes for you to use your flames,Shoto?!” Enji shouted as he watched the flames dissipate,Shoto pulling (First Name) into his chest and glaring at his father. 

“Don’t even think about hurting her,you shitty old man!” Shoto snarled out,(First Name)’s mother nodding. 

“I’ve given my consent in this engagement under the conditions that (First Name) isn’t to be hurt,Enji. If you betray that agreement,I will end all connections between (First Name) and Shoto.” The woman said coldly,Enji sighing as he tried to calm himself. (First Name) just gripped onto Shoto tightly,not knowing what to do. She felt cornered. 

“Everything’s going to be fine,(First Name).” Shoto whispered to her,the girl gripping onto his shirt tighter.  

“Shoto,once you come of age and marry that girl,you two can have a child together. Since both of you have two Quirks,your child will almost certainly inherit a combination! Just imagine the power they’ll have!” Enji shouted,laughing. “Isn’t it wonderful,Shoto?! Choosing a wife for you took a long time!” 

“I won’t marry (First Name)! She’s my friend,nothing more! I’ll reject this marriage and everything else to do with you with every fiber of my being,old man!” Shoto shouted back at him,(First Name) nodding. Despite her feelings for Shoto,she knew they could never be together. She was part of his father’s ideals now,and that meant Shoto would push her away. 

From that day forward,Shoto never stayed after school to hang out with (First Name). He never spoke to her unless it was necessary,and he never made eye contact with her. Shoto couldn’t forgive his father for dragging (First Name) into their war,nor could he bring himself to properly face (First Name),so he began to avoid her like the plague.  

Loving you is like

Dancing without music

(First Name) didn’t see Shoto after graduation until she transferred into U.A. during her second year. She froze up the second she saw Shoto,who froze up and stared at her as well. 

“Well? Introduce yourself.” Aizawa urged,(First Name) just turning and running out of the room. Aizawa just sighed and walked out to go after the girl. 

“What was that about?” Mina wondered aloud. 

“Maybe she’s shy.” Tsuyu suggested,the other girls nodding a little. 

“She was sexy! I wonder if she’d be my girlfriend!?” Mineta pointed out.

“Shut up,you pervert.” Sero muttered as he shot tape out to cover the boy’s mouth. 

“Todoroki,are you okay?” Izuku asked when he noticed the expression on his friend’s face. “Do you know her or something?” 

“Yeah. From middle school,” Shoto said,looking down at his desk. “She’s my fiance.” 

“You have a fiance,Todoroki?” Momo asked in shock,the boy just nodding. 

“There’s no way.. You proposed to a girl in middle school?!” Denki shouted,unable to contain his excitement. 

“That’s super manly,Todoroki!” Eijiro pointed out with a grin. 

“It’s an arranged Quirk marriage.” Shoto said,everyone falling quiet at that. 

Aizawa returned after nearly ten minutes with the girl behind him,(First Name) muttering an awkward introduction before taking her seat in the middle of the classroom. 

Shoto stared at the back of her head in silence the entirety of their first two classes,trying to decide how to approach her. When the bell rang for lunch,however,it was Shinsou that (First Name) retreated to.

“Hitoshi,it’s been a while.” She said,the purple-haired boy nodding. He reached out and ruffled her hair calmly,before nodding to the door. 

“Want to eat lunch with me and Kaminari today,(First Name)?” He asked,(First Name) nodding slightly. Shoto just watched in silence as the girl walked out,Izuku having to shake his shoulder to snap him out of his daze. 

“Are you gonna come eat with us,Todoroki?” Izuku asked,Shoto nodding slightly. He stood up and followed Izuku and Tenya to the cafeteria,taking his seat after getting his food. (First Name) was already getting along well with Hitoshi and Denki,Shoto staring at them silently as he ate. 

“(First Name),look! I’m a french-fry vampire!” Denkii shouted,sticking two fries into his mouth like they were fangs. (First Name) threw her head back and laughed,clutching her stomach as she giggled. 

“Denki,you idiot! You should eat properly!” She told him with a grin,the boy grinning at her. 

“I thought you’d be way more serious,but I guess not,huh? I’m glad!” Denki told her happily,the girl tilting her head to the side. 

“How come?” (First Name) asked,Denki panicking a bit before he sighed. 

“Well,Todoroki told us that you’re his fiance for a Quirk marriage,so you’re strong,right? I just assumed you’d be more like him,I guess..” The boy admitted,rubbing the back of his neck. Hitoshi elbowed his side and gave him a sharp glare,annoyed that he had brought it up. 

“It’s fine,Hitoshi. It’s not a big deal,that kind of stuff is just because of my parents. Shoto and I have no real relationship anymore.” (First Name) said,her heart aching as she spoke. She gave them both a huge grin,though her eyes were watering now. She reached up and wiped at her eyes,Shoto on his feet and walking over without thinking. 

“What did you say to make her cry?” The half-and-half boy asked angrily,(First Name)’s eyes widening when she heard his voice. While the boy had never been sure of his feelings towards (First Name),he wouldn’t tolerate someone hurting her.  

“Get away from our table,Todoroki.” Hitoshi said,ready to use his Quirk on the other if he needed to. 

“Don’t do it,Hitoshi,” (First Name) told her friend,sighing a little as she finally gathered her courage to face Shoto. “Let’s go talk somewhere. Alone.” 

“Are you sure you’ll be fine talking to him alone?” Hitoshi asked,(First Name) nodding as she stepped away from him. 

“Of course I’ll be fine,” She said,winking at him. “I’m me,after all.” She added when she saw how nervous the boy looked,Hitoshi chuckling a bit as he nodded. She left the cafeteria with Shoto following close behind her,the half-and-half boy staying silent as he walked with her. They eventually found an empty classroom,where (First Name) just flopped down in a chair and turned to look at him. “Fire away. I can tell you have questions.” 

“How do you know Shinso? And why were you crying?” Shoto asked,(First Name) just tilting her head back with a sigh as she tried to gather her thoughts. 

“I met Shinso last year at a cat cafe I like to go to sometimes,and we just ended up getting close from there. And I was crying because I felt like it,” (First Name) said simply,staring at him. “Any other questions?” 

“Why are you here? And why now?” Shoto asked,sighing. He had been avoiding her like the plague for nearly two years now,and the girl had destroyed his chances at continuing his life like that. 

“My old teacher got into contact with Principal Nezu and recommended me. Had I known you attended this school,I wouldn’t be here right now.” (First Name) told him,looking straight into his eyes blankly. 

“You had to have seen me on t.v. last year.” Shoto told her,(First Name) shaking her head. 

“I was in the hospital last year around the time of the sports festival,and I don’t really care about it much,so I never really bothered to go back and watch it again,” She explained,standing up. “I’ll stay out of your way,so don’t bug me,Shoto.. And don’t bring up that stupid engagement.” 

“What’s so bad about people knowing about it? Do you like someone?” Shoto asked,glaring at her slightly. While he was still preparing himself to forgive his father,he didn’t know if he could forgive (First Name). He knew she’d done nothing wrong,but he still couldn’t stand the fact that she hadn’t voiced her opposition to the engagement. 

“As a matter of fact,I do. Got a problem with it?” (First Name) asked angrily,clenching her fists. The air around her was buzzing now,though she was trying to keep her Quirk contained. 

“While you’re engaged to me,you should at the very least behave yourself.” Shoto growled,clenching his own fists. The girl had changed too much,and it was frustrating. (First Name) nearly lost her temper,though she just shoved Shoto out of her way and headed to the door angrily. 

“Go fuck yourself,Shoto. You’re a scumbag,” She spat out,grabbing the knob and turning it. She stopped suddenly,taking a deep breath. “I have no clue why I ever fell in love with someone like you.” She added before she flung the door open. Denki,Izuku,and Eijiro all tumbled in,raising their heads awkwardly. 

“Ah,sorry.. It’s just.. You looked upset earlier when you left with Todoroki,so we wanted to see what happened..” Izuku admitted,his face burning from embarrassment. 

“It was super unmanly of us to eavesdrop,but we were worried you two might actually fight..” Eijiro admitted,keeping his head down. 

“Hitoshi asked me to come check on you..” Denki told her,rubbing the back of his neck. (First Name) just sighed and walked past them,Shoto still just standing there in shock as he tried to compute her words. 

Nobody had ever confessed to Shoto before. 

Loving you

No, I don’t know why I do it

(First Name) moved into the U.A. dorms on her second day of attending U.A.,the girls helping her unpack. 

“Wah,what’s this? Is this you and Todoroki?!” Mina asked excitedly as she waved a picture around. (First Name) looked over,her cheeks heating up when she saw the familiar picture. She had forced Shoto to dress up as a vampire for one of their school festivals,the girl herself dressed as a cat-eared witch. 

“Woah,you’re so pretty! And Todoroki looks super happy!” Toru praised,(First Name) giggling at that. 

“He wasn’t actually smiling there because of us dressing up,he was laughing because I had called him his nickname,” She said,continuing to unpack the boxes. 

“What was his nickname back then?” Momo asked,her eyes sparkling. Ochaco even paused unpacking to look over,her eyes full of curiosity as well. 

“I used to call him half-and-half all the time,’cause of his hair,” (First Name) said,giggling a bit. She became confused when she saw how weirded out the others looked. “What’s so strange about that nickname?” 

“It’s just.. Bakugo calls him that all the time.” Ochaco said after a minute,(First Name) bursting into laughter. 

“Well it’s ‘cause of his hair,right? Sho hated it when I called him the ‘half-human,half-vampire half-and-half of Michimiya Middle School’!” (First Name) said,the girls just staring at her before they all began to laugh. 

“You’re so weird,(First Name)! Anyone would hate a nickname like that!” Jirou said,clutching her stomach as she laughed. (First Name)’s face exploded into color at that,the girl looking down and laughing. 

“It’s just ‘cause I used to think it was a funny nickname is all! Shoto only used to complain about it when I told Ryuuji about it before the play,so it’s not like he actually hated it that much..” (First Name) muttered,looking down with a pout. 

“Who’s Ryuuji? Is he your secret boyfriend?” Toru asked excitedly,Mina perking up. 

“Ooh,I bet Todoroki used to get jealous,right?! Did he ever say ‘hands off my girl!’ like they do in the movies?!” Mina asked,her eyes shining with curiosity. 

“Ah,it’s not like that! Ryuuji and I have been together since we were kids! See,my mother and father had a Quirk marriage,and since they didn’t actually want anything to do with me outside of my Quirk,Ryuuji’s parents practically raised me.. Since then,he and I have always just been together..” (First Name) admitted,rubbing the back of her neck. “Shoto’s never liked me back,so it’s not like he’d ever get jealous..” 

“So you love him? What made you fall in love?” Mina asked,Momo leaning closer curiously. All of the girls were excited to give their new friend advice,(First Name) just looking away shyly. 

“Well.. When I first met him,he was petting this kitten,and it was super cute ‘cause it loved how warm his left side is because of his Quirk.. So I couldn’t help but approach him,and then I realized he looked lonely,so I wanted to be his friend.. It only took around a month before he eventually found out about my Quirks and how I was born from a Quirk marriage,and he took pity on me from there and agreed to be my friend..” (First Name) explained,rubbing the back of her neck. “But I think I fell in love with him the first time I made him laugh.. I’d kinda ended up falling on top of him after I accidentally knocked him over,and he started laughing because I was an idiot,and it felt like my heart was racing all of a sudden..” 

“Why the hell doesn’t Todoroki love you..?! You’re so perfectttt!” Mina whined as she pounced on the girl. (First Name) threw her head back and laughed,Ochaco pouncing on both of them with a grin. 

“Ne,(First Name),wanna play with my Quirk? We can float around the dorms if you wanna.” Ochaco offered,(First Name)’s eyes lighting up as she nodded. 

“Definitely! Your Quirk is so cool,Ochaco!” (First Name) said,grinning at her friend. Ochaco’s face flooded with color,the girl shaking her head quickly. 

“My Quirk’s not that cool.. It makes me dizzy..” The brunette muttered,(First Name) grinning. 

“My Quirks don’t work well with my body. Using my water Quirk makes me feel sick,and using my air manipulation Quirk makes me breathless,so I have to be really careful with it.” (First Name) told her. The other girls lit up as they listened to her explain her Quirks,mainly since they hadn’t seen her use her Quirks yet. 

“Are you finished unpacking for now?” Momo asked,(First Name) nodding and holding her hand out to Ochaco. Ochaco gave her a high-five,doing the same to all of her friends before making herself float as well. They made their ways out into the common room,(First Name) using her Quirk to get them out her bedroom door and down to the first floor. The boys looked up and laughed at the girls,Ochaco just grinning as she waved down at them. 

“When (First Name) uses her Quirk to help,it feels more like flying than it feels like floating! You guys wanna try?” She asked,a few of the boys nodding. She high-fived the boys who wanted to ‘fly’,(First Name) giggling as she made everyone spin around the room as they floated. Izuku and Kaminari were spinning around in circles as they tried to figure out how it worked,while Sero and Eijiro were ‘dancing’ around each-other while they laughed. Jiro was holding onto Momo,who was just floating around in lazy circles. 

“This is not proper dorm etiquette!” Tenya shouted as he air-chopped. “You must stop this at once,Uraraka!” He added,the brunette girl just tapping him. Tenya began to float as well,(First Name) ‘flying’ over to him. 

“Hey,you’re Ingenium’s little brother,right? How’s he doing?” She asked curiously,her (Eye Color) eyes sparking. Tenya froze up at that,the boy clearing his throat as he pushed his glasses up. The girl was adorable,so he decided to allow them to continue their ‘game’ for now. 

“My brother is doing great now,thank you for your concern! Were you a fan of his?” Tenya asked,clearing his throat once again. 

“Of course! He’s super cool and fast! You’re so lucky!” (First Name) said,grinning cheekily. “I bet you’re fast as well,right? I heard from Ochaco how fast you were,Tenya!” 

“Ten.. Tenya..?! You’re using my first name..?” Tenya asked,his cheeks turning a light shade of pink. 

“Why not? I use everyone’s first names,’cause your family doesn’t define you,ya know?” (First Name) asked,grinning at him. Tenya just nodded slightly,before he let out a fake cough. 

“So you prefer to go by your first name as well?” The blue-haired boy asked awkwardly,(First Name) nodding and grinning. 

“Yep! Everyone can call me (First Name),except for that purple grape kid. He tried to barge into my room to smell my panties or something earlier.” (First Name) said,Sero shooting his tape out to wrap up Mineta. 

“Sorry,I didn’t mean to take my eyes off of him.” The tape boy said,(First Name) shaking her head and grinning. 

“Thanks a lot,Hanta!” She said,the boy’s face going a light shade of pink as well. Shoto just watched them from the couch,the boy just standing up and walking off to his room. He didn’t want to see her having fun with everyone right now,his mind still a jumbled mess. 

Shoto didn’t understand his own heart. 

Loving you is so hard

It leaves me with bruises

“(Last Name) here will be taking everyone on at once. If any of you hold back,she’ll win,so don’t hesitate.” Aizawa ordered his class the next day as they stood in the training room. 

“With our Quirks and everything?” Mashirao asked,a bit put off about the idea of actually fighting (First Name). She was short and slender,so he worried what they all could do. 

“Remember how Togata beat all of you single handedly last year? (Last Name) could easily beat him with the power she has right now.” Aizawa said,his entire class tensing up as they heard the comparison to their senpai. 

“On her own..? She rivals Mirio?” Izuku asked,starting to mumble and ramble as he took invisible notes. Ochaco elbowed his side,trying to get him to snap out of it. 

“You can all charge at me whenever you want.” (First Name) said calmly. Katsuki and Tenya tried to attack her first,but the girl easily kept them back,the wind surrounding her as water began to swirl around her as well. The force of the wind was strong enough to shove everyone back,the girl ‘flying’ forward suddenly. She grabbed Katsuki by the elbow and jerked around,using the wind to blast the boy into the wall. She took out the short-distance fighters first,before she moved onto the long-distance fighters easily. Nobody was fast enough to even land a hit on her until Izuku managed to nearly kick her. She used her water Quirk to create a ‘buffer’,keeping herself in place despite feeling the bone in her arm crack. She had trained hard for a long time,so she had better control over her Quirks. Instead of just letting Izuku launch another attack,she grabbed his arm,prepared to throw him into the wall like she’d done with Katsuki. Aizawa used his Quirk to make her stop,the girl freezing up immediately. She panted and coughed a bit,letting go of Izuku immediately.

“That was super manly,(First Name)! How come you can move so fast?!” Eijiro asked her excitedly once everyone had recovered. It had taken nearly half an hour for everyone to fully ‘come around’. 

“Well,I just use the wind to make myself faster,and I use the water to help buffer attacks.. Oh,I can also make hurricanes!” (First Name) explained,grinning slightly. 

“You can make hurricanes?!” Izuku asked excitedly,wishing he had his notebook so he could take notes. 

“Yep. It takes a lot of energy to control,though,and the wind dissipates fairly quickly if I’m not careful. I’m not allowed to use it very often,though..” (First Name) said,rubbing the back of her neck. 

“Where’d you learn martial arts at,(First Name)?” Ochaco asked curiously,wondering if she could get (First Name) to train her. 

“My mother,” (First Name) sighed,not really wanting to talk much about her training. “I also trained under a few pro heroes last year.” 

“You trained under pros? Like an internship or something?” Izuku asked,his eyes sparkling as he looked at her. 

“It wasn’t an internship,it was just for training purposes. I didn’t get paid or anything,but it was really fun,” (First Name) explained,sighing a bit. “It was rough,though. Old man Neito and granny Illia weren’t easy to train against.” 

“Oh,I’m sorry about your arm. We should head to Recovery Girl,” Izuku said,grabbing her good arm. “I’ll take you to her office.” 

“That’d be great,Izuku,” (First Name) said,raising an eyebrow when she saw Izuku’s face go bright red. “What’s wrong? Do you not like being called your first name?” 

“No,no! It’s just.. I’m used to everyone calling me Deku is all..” Izuku said,his face burning. 

“Then that makes it special,right?” (First Name) asked,grinning. “Oh,Katsuki,you used to work with Best Jeanist,right? He’s tough,right?” 

“What do you know about Jeanist?” Katsuki growled,glaring at her. “Go die!” 

“I actually quite prefer living,” (First Name) said,before winking at him. “Jeanist told me about you last year when I went to his agency for a bit,and I became a fan,so let’s get along,’kay?” 

“Isn’t that great,Bakugo? Your first official fan!” Eijiro told his boyfriend,who elbowed him and glared. 

“Shut up,shitty hair!” Katsuki snapped,his cheeks just the tiniest bit pink. (First Name) just laughed,Izuku leading her out of the training room once the conversation was over. Shoto watched the entire thing in silence,Tenya turning to Aizawa. 

“How come you used your Quirk,sensei?” The blue-haired boy asked. 

“(Last Name)’s Quirk is dangerous when she gets hurt,which is part of the reason she had to come here. She loses control if she’s too badly injured,” Aizawa told him,sighing a bit at how dry his eyes felt. “So make sure you guys don’t let her get hurt unless I’m around.”  

“How badly injured is she able to get before she loses control?” Mashirao asked curiously. 

“I’m not completely clear on the details myself,but I know that a fight broke out at her old school. It resulted in three kids being sent to the hospital before the pros managed to take her down.” Aizawa explained,everyone in the class muttering about how dangerous that she had to be. 

“If she’s so strong that the only ones that could apprehend her were pro heroes,she’s really strong..” Momo muttered,Kyoka nodding. 

“Do you think she’d attack us if she got a papercut?” Denki asked Eijiro,who just shrugged. 

“We’ll do our best to keep her safe,sensei.” Tenya told Aizawa,who just nodded and waved them off. 

When Izuku returned to the classroom,he sighed when he saw the questioning look in Shoto’s eyes. “Recovery Girl said that (First Name)’s arm will only take two or three days to heal before she can use it properly.” 

“Thanks.” Shoto said quietly,before turning his attention back to Present Mic. 

Shoto didn’t understand his own worries.  

Loving you is like

Dancing without music

Shoto finally approached (First Name) nearly three days after her confession,the boy just pointing at the door. “Let’s go talk.” 

“Why?” (First Name) asked,standing up. Hitoshi grabbed her good arm and pulled her back down,shaking his head. 

“If you have something to say to (First Name),say it here,Todoroki,” Hitoshi ordered,holding (First Name)’s wrist tightly. “She’s not an object.” 

“I never said she was an object. This has nothing to do with you,Shinso,” Shoto snapped,glaring at him slightly. He had become more open with his emotions in his own way,but nobody seemed to understand them except for Izuku. “(First Name),it’s an order. You promised me,didn’t you?” 

(First Name)’s whole body went rigid,before she just let out a giggle. She pulled her arm away from Hitoshi’s grip,pushing her hair out of her face as she looked at him. “Of course it’s an order.. You always use whatever and whoever you want,you know that Shoto? Fuck,you really are an asshole..” She said,grabbing his collar and jerking him down to her height suddenly. “One of my old teachers used to say it pretty often about her husband,you know? That loving him was ‘like dancing without music’. That it’s supposed to make you feel happy inside,like everything you do for that person is somehow going to be returned.. That’s such fucking bullshit,don’t you think? I’ve spent years of my life completely in love with you,never once questioning anything you told me,and you want to use that shit against me? Go fuck yourself.” She snapped,shoving him back. Shoto stumbled back,bumping into the table behind him and wincing. 

“That is not how a U.A. student should act!” Tenya shouted,(First Name) turning and giving him a bright smile. 

“Sorry Tenya! I just wanted to get my point across,” (First Name) said,rubbing the back of her neck. “I didn’t mean to go so far,though.” 

“As long as you’re aware of your faults,” Tenya said,pushing his glasses up. He had already developed a soft spot for the girl,so he couldn’t bring himself to actually get angry at her. “Todoroki,are you alright?” He asked as he turned to his friend. He froze up when he saw that the boy was crying,(First Name) seeing Tenya’s expression and turning back to Shoto curiously. Her eyes widened when she saw that he was crying,not sure how to react or feel. 

“Sh.. Sho..?” She asked,the nickname slipping out of her lips before she could stop herself. Shoto just turned and walked off,the boy wiping at his face quickly. (First Name) followed him,her body moving on its own. She grabbed the back of his uniform once they were in the hallway,gripping onto him tightly. 

“I’ve turned into my father..” Shoto sniffled,his whole body trembling. (First Name) shook her head,sighing a little. 

“Shoto,you’re nothing like your father.. I’m sorry,okay? Please don’t cry..” She said,gripping onto the back of his uniform tighter. “Fuck,Sho.. Fuck! Why are we like this? What the hell did I do wrong?” 

“I’m sorry..” Shoto muttered,turning and looking at her. He didn’t understand himself. He didn’t understand his emotions,nor why his heart sped up around her. The concept of love felt so foreign to him,and he didn’t feel like he deserved it,so he was struggling to understand her. 

“It’s not our fault,Sho.. It’s never been our fault,it’s always been our parents that caused all of this,and yet.. Yet you fucking left me behind.. I’m trying so fucking hard here,Sho,but I’m fucking scared,” (First Name) told him,sniffling. She couldn’t bring herself to hate him,even though she wanted to. She couldn’t bring herself to abandon her love for him,even though she wished she could. Shoto meant too much to her,and being hated by him hurt worse than any training she had been put through. “Do you hate me? Do you want me to disappear? Do you want me to never even look at you again?” 

“I don’t.. I don’t hate you,I just..” Shoto struggled to find the words. As quiet as the boy was,as arrogant as he could be,he felt completely shattered. Before Izuku had told him that his power was his own,before he had accepted his classmates as friends and companions,(First Name) had taught him what it meant to have a friend. “You mean so much more to me than anything else,but I just.. I couldn’t face you. My father dragged you into an engagement without any concern for your feelings,so of course I was upset,but that doesn’t excuse everything I put you through back then.. My father has been trying to repent,he even built a new home for us.. I’ve rebuilt my relationship with my mother,and I’ve started preparing myself to forgive my father,so can’t we just restart? Can.. Can you ever forgive me for everything?”

“Sho.. You’re an idiot,aren’t you?” (First Name) asked,sniffling as she wiped at her eyes. “I’ve never once hated you for any of this.. I.. Let’s just restart,like you said,okay? It’ll be fine if we start over from square one..” 

“Thank you..” Shoto said,hugging her tightly. As awkward as physical affection was for him,holding her in his arms again reminded him of their days in middle school. The days that she would drag him into stupid things,and the days that she would sleep with her head on his shoulder,were the days he missed most. (First Name) hugged back,though she pulled away after a few minutes. 

“Tomorrow marks a new day,okay? A new start,” (First Name) said,grinning up at him. Her heart was completely breaking apart over the fact that she had to once again bury her feelings for Shoto,but she ignored the painful feeling emanating from her chest. “Let’s meet again tomorrow,okay,Shoto?” She asked,Shoto nodding slightly. He watched in silence as she went back to the cafeteria. 

Shoto didn’t understand the pain he was putting her through. 

Dancing without music

(First Name)’s days at U.A. continued peacefully after she and Shoto had restarted. The girl had never fancied herself an actress,so when the girls in class confronted her one day about her feelings for Shoto,she wasn’t surprised. 

“(First Name),how come you and Todoroki are getting along so well now?” Momo asked worriedly. 

“Whenever you’re around him,you look so sad.. Are you alright?” Mina asked her with a worried frown. 

“Do we need to beat him up or something?” Ochaco asked,the others looking at her in surprise. 

“You haven’t been smiling as much since you started hanging out with him again..” Kyoka said nervously,tapping her jacks together. “Has he been mean to you or something?” 

“You can tell us anything,(First Name),” Tsuyu said,letting out a little ‘ribbit’ as she spoke. 

“Let’s go beat him up if he’s been mean!” Toru said,waving her arms with a huff. 

“It’s not like that,you guys! Sho and I just decided to start over from scratch is all. We’re not worrying about the engagement or the past or anything,” (First Name) said,rubbing the back of her neck. “It’s nothing to be angry at him over..” 

“But didn’t you confess to him? That’s so mean!” Toru snapped. “He’s not even acknowledging your feelings!” 

“It truly is unfortunate.. Are you holding up well..?” Momo asked her worriedly,(First Name) nodding and laughing. 

“I appreciate the worry you guys,but I’m really not gonna fall apart over this. Sho and I both decided on ignoring the past,” (First Name) explained,rubbing the back of her neck. “So no trying to beat him up,okay?”

“Fine..” Toru and Ochaco muttered in unison. 

“Why not flirt with other boys in front of him? I’m sure it’d make him upset!” Mina asked,grinning at her. 

“No way,no way! Sho’s not a jealous person,so it wouldn’t work even if I tried,” (First Name) explained with a giggle. “I do appreciate the thought,though.”

“Let’s come up with an ‘attack’ strategy!” Momo suggested,grinning. “I’ve read about them in books! There are hundreds of ways to make a man fall in love!” She added. (First Name) just sighed when she saw how excited her friends were,just nodding. 

“Fine,fine.. But nothing that would interfere with school,got it?” (First Name) asked,the girls grinning. 

Shoto had no clue what was coming for him.  

And there's nothing that I wouldn’t do

To truly be yours

(First Name)’s first ‘task’ was to bake a cake with Rikido,who was absolutely flustered when the girl asked him to teach her. Everything went fine at first,until the girl got wrapped up in the recipe. 

“I know how to make a lot of different cakes,but I’m only really good at decorating them..” (First Name) told Rikido,who stared at her with a slight blush. 

“Really? Knowing how to decorate a dessert is just as important as knowing how to make it! Half the flavor is in the decorations,after all,” He encouraged her happily. “Which would you like to make?” 

“Ichigo cake!” (First Name) said without hesitating,grinning. “I love strawberries,and I’m sure everyone in class likes them as well,so should we go get the ingredients?” 

“Of course. Is there a certain shop you wish to go to?” Rikido asked curiously. 

“Momo insisted we use her card to buy the ingredients and supplies from an expensive shop,so we should probably go to Kiyomiyagi’s Confectionary Supplies,no?” (First Name) asked,Rikido’s eyes lighting up at that. 

“Let’s go,then!” He said excitedly. 

The duo spent nearly two hours off of the campus before they finally returned and set to work baking in Rikido’s room. Rikido took care of most of the actual making of the cakes,while (First Name) decorated them beautifully. It took them nearly an hour to finish,(First Name) looking over at him and letting out a giggle when she saw how happy he looked. 

“We make a pretty good team,Rikido!” (First Name) said,Rikido nodding and chuckling. 

“I guess it’s time we serve everyone,huh?” He asked,(First Name) nodding and carefully picking up the box they had put one of the cakes in.

Ten minutes later,and nearly everyone in the dorms was eating some of the cake,everyone complementing both of them. (First Name) saved a piece for Shoto,who had yet to arrive. When the boy finally made it to the common room’s dining room,she pounced on him after setting the plate aside,nearly knocking him over. 

“Sho,you have to eat some! It’s good,I promise!” She urged,Shoto just nodding with a tiny smile. 

“I’ll eat a bite,so give me a piece,” He said,(First Name) nodding and handing him the plate. In her excitement,she had completely forgotten to try and feed it to him,making the girls sigh. 

“(First Name),you have icing on your cheek,” Tenya said,(First Name) looking at him curiously. 

“Where?” She asked,Tenya sighing and reaching out. He brushed the icing off of her cheek with his thumb,licking it off his thumb afterwards. (First Name)’s face was suddenly burning up,everyone in the dining room stopping to stare in shocked silence. Shoto didn’t even seem to notice,just taking a bite of the cake. 

“It’s good,” The half-and-half boy said calmly as Ochaco launched herself at Tenya. 

“Iida,you can’t just do that to a girl!” The brunette said,laughing. “Look at how embarrassed (First Name) is!” 

“Please forgive me for my rudeness,(First Name). I had no clue that women found that sort of thing embarrassing,” Tenya said,bowing. “I won’t do it again!”

“It’s fine,Tenya! It’s not a big deal!” (First Name) said,laughing a bit when the boy walked off to eat his own slice with Izuku. She then remembered Shoto was there,turning to him. “Sorry,Sho,what had you been saying? It’s good,right? Rikido’s a really good cook!” 

“I know. He cooks for us weekly,” Shoto told her simply,the girls all a bit annoyed that their plan hadn’t quite worked. 

Shoto didn’t understand why the girls had all glared at him for the rest of that day. 

When you touch me I swear it’s like heaven

But I’m left at the doors

Life at the dorms was fun,but the girls were all going insane that their plans to get Shoto to fall for Shoto weren’t working. When winter rolled around,(First Name) used Shoto as her personal heater,which freaked out most of the class. 

“(First Name),you should go to your room to sleep,” Shoto warned the girl,who was snuggling into his left side as she tried to nap. “The others are going to wake you up when they come back from shopping.” 

“Shh,I’m comfy.. I’m a sleepy baby,” (First Name) muttered,snuggling closer to his side. “Be quiet,Sho..” 

“But you’re not a baby.” Shoto pointed out,(First Name) letting out a sleepy giggle. 

“It’s a saying,Sho. I know I’m not actually a baby,but people say it when they want others to think of them as something that needs protecting,” (First Name) explained,yawning a bit. “Now won’t you let me sleep in peace?” 

“Sorry.” Shoto said,getting comfortable once again. (First Name) dozed off quickly,unable to stay awake long because of how warm her ‘friend’ was. Shoto dozed off soon after,his arm wrapped around her protectively as he slept. 

Aizawa was the one to find them first,the teacher just sighing and walking by. He didn’t get paid enough to deal with them,so he chose to ignore them for now. 

The girls were the ones to find them next,Toru and Mina nearly squealing at the sight of the ‘sleeping couple’ while Momo and Kyoka both took pictures. Ochaco and Tsuyu were both happy,though they stayed quiet so they wouldn’t wake either of them up. 

The boys arrived nearly an hour after the girls had returned,some of them not even fazed by the sight. Rikido was going to get them a blanket,but Katsuki started shouting at Izuku when the other nearly broke the presents Katsuki had just bought,which resulted in Shoto and (First Name) both waking up. 

“What’s going on..?” (First Name) asked sleepily as she sat up normally,rubbing her eyes cutely. Mineta tried to launch himself at the girl,Hanta wrapping him up in tape before he could. 

“(First Name)’s so cute!” Denki pointed out,Hitoshi nodding. 

“Of course she is,she’s (First Name),” Hitoshi told his boyfriend,giving a slight smirk. While Hitoshi usually got jealous when Denki flirted with others,he knew that his boyfriend had only said it to try and see how Shoto would react. 

“I told you they’d wake you up,” Shoto said as he stood up,looking around the room with a slight yawn. Katsuki was being held back by Eijiro,who was trying to get his boyfriend to calm down before a fight broke out. Izuku was just shouting his apologies as he tried to retreat,Tenya shouting at both of them about how they needed to behave because they were breaking dorm rules. (First Name) just looked around and then threw her head back and laughed. 

“It’s fine,it’s fine! This place feels warm now that everyone’s home,” She said,grinning at her friends. “Are the girls back yet?” 

“They should be,they all headed back earlier than us.” Denki told her,(First Name) thanking him and walking off. 

Shoto didn’t understand the concept of how she could call a dorm ‘home’ quite yet,but he understood feeling like their class was a family.  

And there’s nothing I can do or say

To change your mind or numb the pain

(First Name)’s ‘big break’ came during their third year at U.A.,when Aizawa left Eri with her and Shoto. He had to go to the hospital to meet up with a victim of a Quirk-altering drug that was causing their Quirk to go haywire,and the rest of the ‘mature’ students were gone,so he chose Shoto and (First Name) as the babysitters. 

“You know how to contact me,so call me if anything happens,alright?” Aizawa asked,relieved when he saw (First Name) nod. 

“I’ll take good care of Eri!” She said cheerfully,Aizawa nodding before he left. “What would you like to do first,Eri?” 

“Can we.. Can we read a book?” Eri asked nervously,(First Name) nodding and grinning. 

“Did you have one in mind,or should I read you one of my favorites?” She asked. 

“One of your favorites!” Eri said,relaxing a bit now that she realized (First Name) was a good person. (First Name) nodded and scooped the girl up,carrying her off to her room. Shoto followed awkwardly,not sure how to act towards children still. While (First Name) seemed more experienced and confident in dealing with Eri,Shoto was too nervous. 

After setting Eri down on her bed,(First Name) got out a book she had on her little shelf,sitting down beside the girl. “It’s called ‘The Biggest Kitten’. Are you sure you want to read it?” She told Eri,who nodded eagerly. 

“Mr.Aizawa likes kittens!” She told (First Name),who nodded and giggled. 

“Hitoshi Shinso likes them as well,you know? He had a cat named ‘Brownie’ when he was younger,” (First Name) told her,smiling when she saw how happy Eri looked. “Shall I start the story now?” 

“Yeah!” Eri said,smiling up at her slightly before she crawled into (First Name)’s lap to see the pictures better.

“Well,once upon a time,there was a litter of three kittens born to a mama cat and a papa cat. The biggest kitten,Tobi,was a giant compared to the smallest kitten,Tweed. While Tobi was a giant,and while Tweed was tiny,the medium-sized kitten,Leo,was right in between. Tobi was a chubby kitten,and he never let Tweed get any milk. ‘This is mean!’ Little Tweed would cry out,” (First Name) read,using different voices for each kitten. “Tobi never listened to his complaints,but Leo always did. ‘Being the biggest kitten means you should be nice!’ Leo would tell Tobi,who would get upset. One day,Tobi ran away from home,angry that his brothers had teamed up against him again.” (First Name) added,Eri looking at the pictures with wide eyes. “He ran and ran as fast as his chubby legs would let him,until he met a bird named Tweet. ‘Why are you running,little kitten?’ Tweet asked,which only upset Tobi more. ‘I’m not a little kitten! I’m the biggest kitten!’ He roared out,which made Tweet laugh. ‘You are just as little as the rest of the kittens in your litter. Being bigger than your siblings doesn’t mean you’re better or that you have to protect them,it just means you’re bigger.’ Tweet told him,which made Tobi happy. Hearing that being bigger didn’t mean he had to act tough made him happy,so the kitten went home to apologize.” 

“So he was only mad because he thought he had to be mean?” Eri asked,(First Name) nodding as she flipped the page over once again. 

“When Tobi made it home,he apologized to both his brothers,but neither of them believed him. ‘I don’t trust you,’cause big kittens like you are mean!’ Little Tweed told him. Leo nodded as he listened to Tweed yell at their brother,when suddenly,a giant bird swooped down and scooped him up!” (First Name) said,starting to tickle Eri with a laugh. Eri let out a squeal and wriggled around,giggling. 

“Oh no! Is Leo gonna be okay?!” Eri asked,trying to get (First Name) to continue reading. 

“Well we’ll have to see,won’t we?” (First Name) asked her with a grin,before she returned to reading. “Before the big bird could carry his brother off,Tobi launched himself at the bird and saved his brother,who ran crying to their parents. Tobi protected both of his brothers until their parents got there. ‘You were very brave,Tobi!’ Papa cat meowed,mama cat nodding along as she praised her son. ‘I wanna be big and strong like Tobi one day as well!’ Tweed told his parents,who laughed and nodded. While Tobi was the biggest kitten,he was also the most loving kitten,and the one the other kittens loved the most. The End.” She told Eri,who was practically sparkling from excitement. 

“Wah,Tobi’s so cool! He’s a hero like Mr.Mirio and Mr.Deku!” Eri told her,her eyes sparkling. “Even big kittens can be nice!” 

“Yep! Everyone can be nice,whether they’re big or small!” (First Name) told her,Eri giggling. 

“Ooh,can we play dress-up now?” Eri asked,(First Name) nodding. 

“What do you wanna dress up as?” She asked,Eri looking around (First Name)’s room curiously. 

“Let’s dress up as kitties! I wanna dress up like Tobi!” Eri said,(First Name) nodding and laughing happily. 

“When Yuga comes back,I’m sure he’ll be willing to do our makeup for us,so do you wanna wait until then? He has a lot of sparkly makeup,” (First Name) asked,ruffling her hair. “He’s really good at it,and Katsuki is good at doing hair,so he could make both of us look really pretty.” 

“Then let’s wait! Can we watch a movie until then?” Eri asked excitedly,(First Name) nodding and grinning. 

“How about we watch Wolf Children? It’s a good movie,and it has a great plot!” She suggested,Eri perking up and nodding. (First Name) pulled it up on her t.v. calmly,Shoto sitting down beside them calmly. 

After the movie was finished,Eri decided that she would dress up as Yuki and that Shoto should be ‘papa wolf’ while (First Name) should be the mama. 

“Who’s gonna be Ame,then?” (First Name) asked her with a giggle,Eri grinning. 

“Mr.Iida!” The little girl said,(First Name) covering her mouth to stop herself from laughing. 

“Yeah,I think Tenya would agree to it..” She said between giggles,Eri just pouting since her great idea had been laughed at. “No,no,I’m sure Tenya will agree! It’s a great idea,Eri.” 

“Do you think Mr.Aoyama and Mr.Bakugo are back yet?” Eri asked,(First Name) nodding and scooping her up before carrying her out. 

“Who would you like to visit first?” (First Name) asked,Eri thinking for a minute. Shoto stayed close behind them as they walked,though he wasn’t exactly sure why he was supposed to be ‘papa wolf’. 

“Mr.Iida! He has to get his makeup done too!” Eri said,(First Name) nodding as she carried her to Tenya’s room. 

“Tenya! I know you’re back already,so come play with Eri and I!” She called out,knocking on the door. The boy soon opened it,(First Name) explaining the situation. 

“If that’s what Eri wants,that’s what we shall do! I will do my best in the role of this ‘Ame’ character!” Tenya said,airchopping as he spoke. (First Name) just laughed and led them to Momo’s room,where they were forced into clothing that matched the characters they wanted to look like. 

It took half an hour for everyone to get in the ‘appropriate clothes’,Momo using her Quirk to create the ‘costumes’. Once everyone was finished getting changed into the correct clothes,she waved them off,(First Name) leading the way to Katsuki’s room next. 

After nearly an hour of wrestling everyone’s hair,Katsuki stepped back and marveled at his work,smirking a little. He had managed to give both Tenya and Shoto ‘wolf ears’,doing the same with Eri’s hair before he braided (First Name)’s hair. After that,he shoved everyone out of his room,shooing them off. (First Name) just thanked him and headed to Yuga’s room with a laugh,knowing the glamorous boy would fix everyone up nicely. 

Forty-five minutes passed,and Yuga finished up on everyone’s makeup. He had done only the basics,pulling back and grinning at them once he was finished with all of the whiskers. “You all look super cute!” 

“Thanks,Yuga! Wanna meet up tomorrow after class and gossip?” (First Name) asked,Yuga nodding excitedly at that. 

“Of course!” He said cheerfully,(First Name) grinning at him before she carried Eri out of the room. 

They spent nearly an hour ‘performing’ the movie before Eri finally collapsed for a nap,(First Name) curling up in bed with her while Shoto and Tenya went to change. When Shoto returned to see the duo fast asleep,he felt his heart squeeze,though he wasn’t quite sure why. 

Shoto didn’t understand why he wanted to see (First Name) laughing so happily with a child beside her. 

I know you’ll never feel the way that I do

(First Name) spent most of her days at U.A. peacefully,up until the day of the school festival. Everything fell apart at once. 

The school festival had been going well. They were putting on a concert,which they had apparently done back when they were first-years,and people seemed into it until a villain managed to slip in. Nobody even noticed that she was missing until it was too late,and that’s when chaos broke out. 

“Hey,has anyone seen (First Name)?” Momo asked the boys as she walked over. They had finished the concert a while ago,but (First Name) had never shown up to help them clean up. 

“Wasn’t she supposed to be advertising the show to people earlier?” Eijiro asked as he picked up a heavy box calmly. 

“She hasn’t picked up her phone,though,and (First Name) never misses a call,” Momo told him,anxiety written all over her face. Shoto just stared at her silently before he decided to try and call (First Name),frowning when it went until voicemail. 

“Should we tell Sensei?” Izuku asked,having a bad feeling in his stomach. 

“Allow me to scan the crowds for her first!” Tenya shouted. “We shouldn’t be too hasty in telling a teacher.” 

“I’m gonna tell Sensei anyway,” Ochaco told them,gripping her phone tightly. “(First Name)’s not the type to disappear and skip out on helping us clean up.” She added before she ran off to find Aizawa. 

Hound Dog was the first to be called in to try and track down (First Name) after the festival was over,though he struggled at first to trace her scent. Once he eventually caught her scent,he traced it all the way to the school gates,letting out a rabid growl at how angry he was when he realized an unfamiliar scent had accompanied (First Name)’s the entire time. “They smell like firewood and dirt. That’s not a scent we usually have around here.” He told Aizawa,who let out a sigh. 

“We’ll regroup for now and keep trying to get into contact with her. Nobody’s allowed to leave the dorms tonight,” He told his students,narrowing his eyes when he saw the look on Izuku’s face. “That includes you,problem child. The same applies to you,Todoroki. I won’t allow anyone else to ‘disappear’.” 

“I wasn’t going to go out tonight!” Izuku said,sighing a bit. “But Sensei,we all have a lot of experience,and we’re on the brink of being pro heroes anyways.. Can’t we help out somehow?” 

“I’m ordering you all to stay out of this precisely because of that. You all need to stay safe,” Aizawa sighed,shaking his head. “Head to the dorms,all of you. Hound Dog will just try to track her scent for now. Everyone needs to call her one at a time so we don’t overwhelm her if she manages to turn her phone on.” 

“Fine..” Izuku and the others muttered,begrudgingly going to the dorms. 

Hours passed before they got the news that Hound Dog had officially lost (First Name)’s scent,and that there was no trace of the girl anymore. Nobody slept well that night. 

Shoto didn’t understand why he felt so empty without (First Name) there,but he understood that he needed to see her again. 

And I’m getting tired of nights like this

Spinning on the precipice

(First Name) spent her first week in confinement trying to figure out a way to escape after she had been injected with some sort of Quirk-cancelling drug. Her whole body felt heavy,but she was desperately trying to figure out a way to escape. Her golden ticket came when Chrono decided to turn her phone on. Her eyes widened as she listened to the voicemails he played,hearing the fear in her classmates’ voices. 

“Hey,(First Name),where are you at? It’s been a week already,and the teachers aren’t letting us off campus. Mr.Aizawa won’t let us out of his sight because he knows we’ll all try to run off to find you. Please just be safe,okay?” Ochaco’s voice rang out from the phone. 

“(First Name),you dumbass,you’d better answer the fucking phone before I blow your dumbass up!” Katsuki shouted. 

“(First Name),come back to us quickly,okay? We’re all worried about you.” Kyoka and Momo said. 

“If you’re able to hear this,please find a way to show us where you are. We’ll all come to save you.” Izuku ordered. 

“Sensei said we should all continue to call you,but it’s been five days. I highly doubt you’ll hear this before we rescue you,but if you somehow do,please don’t give up hope! We’ll save you soon.” Tenya told her calmly. 

(First Name) listened in silence as she heard her friends try to encourage her,wishing she had a way to contact them. Her whole body shook and went rigid when she heard Shoto’s phone call,which just made Chrono smirk. 

“Wait for me.” Was all Shoto had said. Those three words alone meant more to (First Name) than anything,the girl’s anxieties quelled at the sound of his voice. She drifted out of consciousness again,her head lolling off to the side.

Shoto had no clue what his words had meant to her. 

'Cause you can’t love me like I wish you would

(First Name)’s second week in captivity was abruptly over when Endeavor showed up to rescue her,the flaming man seething with anger as he apprehended Chrono. Once Chrono was successfully arrested and hauled off to jail,Endeavor left (First Name) with the paramedics to go pick up Shoto. 

While Endeavor was off apprehending Chrono,many of Shoto’s classmates spotted the half-and-half boy praying in the kitchen. 

“Why are you praying,Todoroki?” Denki asked him curiously. 

“I’m praying for (First Name)’s safety,” Shoto said calmly,not raising his head. He rarely prayed,but praying for (First Name) right now felt right. 

“Really? You haven’t been sleeping properly,right? Why not go take a nap?” Momo asked. The girl had yet to properly sleep either,feeling completely restless whenever she thought of the fact that (First Name) was still missing. 

“I’m fine. My father is out to save her right now.” Shoto said simply. He had called Endeavor earlier about (First Name)’s disappearance,and the man had agreed to open a proper investigation of his own. The Endeavor Agency was adept and quick-witted,so they had taken only a week to figure out where the girl had gone. Enji had texted Shoto earlier that afternoon to tell him they had found her,so Shoto knew he’d have her back soon. 

When his father arrived to pick him up an hour after (First Name)’s rescue,Shoto hugged the man. He had never shown his father such affection before,but Enji knew it was only because he’d saved (First Name). 

“Come now,Shoto,she’s waiting for you,” Enji told him,clearing his throat as he patted his son’s back. 

“Thank you,father,” Shoto said as he stepped back. He had yet to fully forgive his father,but seeing his father’s eagerness to help him had made him a little happy. “Let’s go,then.” He added as he got into the car. 

It took half an hour for them to make it to the hospital (First Name) was at,Shoto in the building within seconds. Once he got the news that she was still being treated,he just nodded and sat down in the waiting room. Enji spoke to the nurses,eventually getting permission for them to go see (First Name) while she was being treated. 

Walking into (First Name)’s hospital room made Shoto finally relax,and sitting in the chair beside her bed once the treatment was over made his body finally give in to his exhaustion. 

Shoto didn’t understand why he felt so warm sitting next to her,but he was starting to understand the reason why his heart raced when she smiled. 

Loving you is like

Dancing without music

(First Name) was fast asleep for nearly two days,with doctors and nurses leaving her room nearly every half an hour. Shoto rarely left her side,the boy skipping his classes in order to stay next to her. When she finally woke up,she saw a very anxious and nervous-looking Shoto staring at her face. 

“You’re awake..” Shoto pointed out,(First Name) letting out a slight giggle. 

“I waited for you..” (First Name) told him softly,Shoto’s eyes widening before they filled with tears. 

“Yeah.. Yeah,you did.. I’m sorry I wasn’t there,(First Name),” The half-and-half boy said,grabbing her hand and squeezing it. “I’ll protect you better from now on.” 

“I don’t need you to protect me,Sho. Hearing your voice was what kept me going,you know? That’s all the protection I need.” (First Name) told him,forcing herself upright. 

“Then can I tell you something else?” Shoto asked,looking at her as he wiped away the tears that had been threatening to spill. 

“Of course,” (First Name) said,letting out a giggle. “You can tell me anything,Sho.” 

“I love you.” Shoto said curtly,(First Name) freezing up and staring at him in shock. 

“I’m sorry,what?” She asked,her (Eye Color) eyes swimming with confusion. 

“I love you.” Shoto repeated calmly. 

“Like.. Romantically?” (First Name) asked,not quite sure she’d understood. She was certain she had misunderstood somehow. 

“Yes. The same way you love me.” Shoto told her. He seemed unbothered,but on the inside he was screaming. He hadn’t been able to put a label on his feelings for her until he’d almost lost her,but he wanted her to know. 

“You’re serious..?” (First Name) asked him,her heart racing now. She had never expected him to reciprocate her feelings for him. 

“Completely,” Shoto told her,his eyes widening when she ripped the IV’s out of her arm and launched herself at him. He caught her,though they both fell back regardless of his attempt to keep them upright. He sat up quickly and looked down at her worriedly. “Are you alright?” 

“Me too! I love you,Sho!” (First Name) told him as she sat up. Her face was burning from embarrassment,and her arm was bleeding some from how she had ripped the IV’s out of her arm,but she was unbelievably happy. “I love you a lot! Like,a lot a lot!” 

“You need to get back in bed,” Shoto told her,though his cheeks had the tiniest tinge of a blush. 

Shoto didn’t understand why he had fallen in love with an air-headed woman that hardly cared about her health,but he knew he’d never regret these feelings. 

Loving you

No, I don’t know why I do it

(First Name) was welcomed warmly back into the safety of the dorms once she was released from the hospital. News spread throughout the school quickly when Denki found out she and Shoto were now dating,the blond making sure everyone on campus knew the news. 

“Denki,why the hell would you go out and tell everyone all of that?!” (First Name) asked as she punched the boy’s shoulder. Her face was burning from embarrassment,but Shoto seemed completely calm. 

“Thank you,Kaminari.” The half-and-half boy told the blond,who just laughed. 

“Of course! Everyone knows Hitoshi and I are dating,and that Bakugo and Kirishima are dating,so it’s only right that everyone knows you two are dating!” Denki said as he winked at them. (First Name) just puffed out her cheeks and punched Denki once again,starting to pout. 

“It’s just not fair! The girls don’t even know yet!” (First Name) whined,her eyes widening when she saw Toru and Mina running at her. 

“(First Name),Todoroki actually accepted your confession!?” Mina asked her excitedly,her eyes sparkling. 

“And you confessed while you were in the hospital?!” Toru asked,letting out a squeal. 

“I confessed to her,” Shoto said simply,his eyes widening a bit when both girls turned their attention to him. They started to bombard the boy with questions,the rest of the girls soon arriving and doing the same. (First Name) struggled to try and calm her friends down,but her attempts at rescuing Shoto only resulted in more questions. 

Shoto didn’t understand why his classmates enjoyed gossip so much,but he answered a few of their questions calmly.  

Loving you is so hard

It leaves me with bruises

(First Name) spent the first year after highschool in college,making some new friends as she attended classes. While she occasionally met up with Shoto,she spent their first official year of dating focusing on school while Shoto focused on working as a hero. (First Name) was more concerned with her classes,though she did help out with some of the larger scale villain attacks. 

Loving you is like

Dancing without music

(First Name)’s second year after highschool was still spent in college,though she ended up moving into an apartment with Shoto that made it easier for both of them to commute. They rarely saw each-other since she spent most of the day at school or at work while he spent most of the day at his father’s agency as a temporary sidekick,but the hour a day they spent together made both of them happy. 

Dancing without

(First Name)’s third year after highschool was spent temporarily abroad,which made her relationship with Shoto a bit rougher. While she wanted to spend everyday with him,she knew it was impossible. She had only taken the option to study abroad after he’d told her it was a good opportunity for her to save people overseas,but leaving hurt both of them. 

But you can’t love me like I want you to

And I don’t want to face the truth

(First Name)’s fourth year after highschool was when she finally graduated and returned home. She was eager to see Shoto again,and the boy took the next week off of work so they could catch up. They were both happy to just be back together,and Shoto promised to never let her go again. 

Loving you is like

Dancing without music

(First Name)’s fifth year after highschool consisted of constantly arguing with Shoto. After finally graduating and opening a hero agency with him,they had begun arguing over almost everything. 

“Shoto,how come you didn’t take out the garbage?” (First Name) asked,running a hand through her hair. She had just come home from a particularly rough mission,and she wasn’t happy when she saw how much of a mess her fiance had left around the house. 

“Because I haven’t thrown anything away,” Shoto told her from his spot on the couch,his nose still buried in his book. “I’ll take it out tomorrow.” 

“Of course you haven’t thrown anything away,you never clean. Can’t you at least try to clean instead of being so lazy?” (First Name) asked him,sighing as she began to pick up the mess he had left. 

“I had a rough day today. We can just hire a maid.” Shoto told her calmly,(First Name) snorting as she tried not to laugh at him. 

“Shoto,we live in a fucking apartment! We don’t need a maid if you’d just pick up after yourself.” She snapped,Shoto putting his book to the side finally. 

“Would you just stop complaining already?! I’ll throw the fucking trash out,so shut up about it!” He snapped. As aloof as the boy usually was,(First Name) had been irking him recently. Nothing he’d been doing seemed correct to her,so it was driving him crazy. 

“Forget it,I’ll do it myself. Just go back to reading,” (First Name) growled out,shoving Shoto’s trash in the bag before she pulled it out of the can. She tied it shut and started to carry it out of the apartment,Shoto getting pissed off and blocking her way. “Move,Shoto.”  

“I’ll take it,so hand it over,” He snapped,yanking the bag away and shoving her back all at once. (First Name) stumbled back from the force behind the shove,falling on the floor. Shoto stared down at her in shocked silence,(First Name) just standing up quietly. 

“Sorry.” Was all she said as she walked off,Shoto cursing when he realized he’d fucked up. 

After he had thrown out the trash,Shoto scrubbed the apartment clean,heading to their room once he was done. He quietly pushed the door open,knowing she had already gotten out of the shower by now. 

“(First Name),I’m sorry,” He said softly as he walked over to the bed,seeing her curled up under the blankets. She turned away from him childishly when he got near the bed,making him sigh. “Hey,come on now.. You know I didn’t mean it.” He told her,reaching out to touch her. He frowned when he saw her flinch,the boy just walking over to his side of the bed and laying down. He pulled her close in silence,wrapping his arms around her and the mass of blankets she’d curled up in. 

“Lemme go..” (First Name) muttered,not wanting to be touched for now. She was upset with him,so of course she didn’t want to feel his arms around her. 

“I’m sorry.. I didn’t mean to use so much force when I shoved you,I just forgot that you were already tired from your mission.. We’ve been fighting so much recently that I just.. No,nothing makes up for me pushing you like that. How about we go out somewhere? A date,just the two of us?” He offered,his voice as gentle as he could make it. 

“A date..? You promise you won’t be mean…?” (First Name) asked quietly,peeking out at him from her blanket burrito. 

“I swear it. We can go anywhere you’d like,okay? I’ll take the day off of work and everything.” He promised,(First Name) nodding and snuggling into him now. 

Love was difficult for both of them,but they were taking it one step at a time.  

Loving you

No, I don’t know why I do it

(First Name)’s wedding day was one to remember,but it was her vows that would forever be engraved in her mind. 

“Shoto,I.. I didn’t fall in love with you at first sight. I fell in love with you the first time you laughed at me,and I fell in love with you over and over again every single time we experienced something new together.. I will never stop loving you,no matter what happens in our lives.” (First Name) told him softly,Shoto giving her a soft smile. 

“(First Name),I don’t know why I love you. I wish I could list a million reasons,but I can’t. I just know that I love you,and that I want to protect you. I don’t love you for your Quirk or your looks or anything,I just love you for you.” Was all Shoto could say. 

Loving you is so hard

It leaves me with bruises

(First Name) was staring at her phone in silence,unsure of whether or not to make the call. She and Shoto had been married for nearly a year,but they had never spoken about kids. She knew Shoto didn’t want to be a father,but it was too late for that now. 

She had spent the last three weeks vomiting nearly every morning and night,and Ochaco had convinced her to go to the doctor about it. Shoto was going to come with,but he had been assigned a mission instead,and now she was glad she was alone. 

She knew it was best to call Shoto first,but she couldn’t bring herself to. Instead,she called her friends. 

“Kyoka.. Kyoka,can you and Momo come here?” She asked,sniffling. 

“Huh? (First Name),what’s wrong? Where are you at?” Kyoka asked worriedly when she heard how scared her friend sounded. 

“Mitoka Café..” (First Name) muttered,sniffling a little. “Please hurry..” She added before hanging up. 

It took twenty minutes for Kyoka and Momo to make it to (First Name),the girls rushing inside and over to their friend. 

“(First Name),what’s wrong? You had a doctor’s appointment today,right? Are you alright?” Momo asked her worriedly,a little bit panicked. 

“It’s nothing serious,is it?” Kyoka asked once Momo had calmed down a little. 

“It’s.. We’re.. I’m.. I’m pregnant..” (First Name) muttered out,slowly forcing the words out. Both of her friends were speechless for a few minutes,before Momo began to speak. 

“Haven’t you been taking birth control?” She asked,slowly rubbing (First Name)’s back. 

“I have been,but.. They said it happens sometimes,but I.. Fuck,Shoto’s gonna be so mad..” (First Name) whimpered out,wiping at her eyes as she tried to contain the tears that were desperately trying to spill. 

“He won’t be mad,(First Name),” Kyoka told her,trying to find the right words to say. “He might get a little upset,but I don’t think he’ll be angry at you for it. You were taking the pills regularly,so it’s not like you were trying to get pregnant.” 

“But what about everything with his father?” (First Name) asked quietly. Enji had come forward about his abusive behavior before relinquishing his title as the Number One Hero earlier that year after news that the villain Dabi was actually Touya Todoroki,but that didn’t mean Shoto had forgiven him. 

“If Shoto actually gets angry at you over it,you can just come and stay with us until he calms down,okay?” Momo asked her. (First Name) slowly nodded,holding onto her tightly. 

When Shoto returned from his mission three days later,(First Name) decided to tell him. 

“Welcome home,” She greeted him at the door,the half-and-half boy nodding. “How’d the mission go?” 

“It was fine. Sorry for missing the doctor appointment,but how did it go?” Shoto asked her calmly. 

“It went fine. I’ve still been pretty sick,though,” (First Name) said,seeing the anxious look on Shoto’s face when he turned to look at her. “It’s not something that can be healed overnight,though.” 

“What did they tell you?” Shoto asked as he set his shoes to the side. 

“I’m pregnant.” (First Name) told him,Shoto raising his head and glaring. 

“(First Name),seriously,what did they tell you? Is it cancer or something?” He asked,(First Name) sighing a little. 

“Shoto,I’m pregnant. Like,we’re going to have a baby. I’m nearly two months in already.” (First Name) explained. 

“You’d better be joking,(First Name),” Shoto said as he stood up,towering over her. “Now I’ll ask you one more time,and you’d better answer me properly,alright? What did the doctor say?” 

“I’ve already told you! The doctor asked if there was any chance I could be pregnant,and I explained that I’ve been on the pill,so he checked me over. Before he could subscribe anything strong to help me with my ‘sickness’,he needed me to run some tests,and I came back positive for a pregnancy test. He made me do an ultrasound and everything. We’re going to be parents,Shoto,” (First Name) told him,walking over to the table they had near the door and pulling open the drawer. She pulled the photos out,holding them out to him. “That’s our baby.” She added,Shoto slowly taking the pictures and staring down at them. 

“I don’t want it.” The half-and-half boy said without hesitation,his hands trembling as he stared down at the pictures. It wasn’t the baby he didn’t want,but the whole ‘fatherhood’ thing. Of course babies freaked him out,but what freaked him out more was the fact that he felt like he’d turn into his father. 

“I had a feeling you’d say that,so I’m going to stay with Kyoka and Momo for a while,” (First Name) said,sighing as she pushed her hair back. She had spent every single day of her life after meeting Shoto being patient with him,waiting for him to be prepared for every step forward,but she couldn’t wait for him this time. She didn’t have the energy to fight for him this time,not over this. “I’ll ask someone to come move my stuff out of here,so please don’t worry about it,alright?” She asked before she headed to their room. Shoto felt completely hollow as he trailed after her,his mind a jumbled mess. 

“I.. I’m sorry for this.” The half-and-half boy said right before his wife left. 

“It’s not your fault,Shoto. I’ll take care of everything,alright? You don’t have to worry about me or the baby,just focus on your work.” Was all (First Name) said before she got into the car Momo had sent to pick her up. She felt like falling apart,but she knew it was for the best. She prayed Shoto would eventually find it in himself to help her with the baby,but she wouldn’t expect anything from him. Her baby was all that mattered to her. 

When she made it to Momo and Kyoka’s house,(First Name) was surrounded by support from her friends immediately. Momo was eager to volunteer as an auntie for the baby,which made (First Name) laugh a little. Even without Shoto around,she knew she’d be okay. 

Loving you is like

Dancing without music

(First Name) spent the fourth and fifth month of her pregnancy curled up in bed,taking frequent naps due to Momo’s insistence. She had quit her work as a pro hero for now,though she doubted she’d ever actually return to being a hero. She wanted to be there for the baby forever,and if that meant giving up on being a hero,she was fine with that. 

While his wife was finding comfort in her friends,Shoto was struggling to come to terms with the fact that he was going to be a father. While he had known they’d be parents eventually,he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon,and he felt like a piece of shit for sending his wife away. He knew he should be by her side for now,but he couldn’t bring himself to even look at a picture of her right now. 

(First Name) spent the sixth and seventh month of her pregnancy picking out baby clothes with her friends and explaining the situation to them. Ochaco had offered to try and fight Shoto for being such an ‘insensitive prick’,but the others had been understanding. 

While his wife was still living with Momo and Kyoka,Shoto had reconnected with his parents. He told them both the situation,and he decided to move in with his mother in order to learn everything he could about babies. He had been told he was having a daughter,which had only added to his anxieties,but Rei taught him all about what raising a daughter was like so he could be prepared. Shoto had bought a new house and set up all new furniture and a nursery by the time the seventh month was over,the boy wanting everything to be perfect. While he wasn’t by (First Name)’s side for now,he was preparing himself to see her again. 

(First Name)’s eighth month of pregnancy was when Shoto finally showed back up in her life. After five months apart,the brazen half-and-half boy had the guts to knock on the front door of Momo’s mansion and ask to see his wife. 

(First Name) was taking a nap when Shoto walked into her room. Her skin seemed paler than usual,and her stomach was huge compared to before,which made him anxious. He didn’t know how to feel yet. After spending the last five months struggling to accept the fact that there was going to be a new baby with his father’s blood in it,the boy was still terrified. 

Approaching the bed took almost all of his strength,but reaching out and touching (First Name)’s stomach took everything out of him. Feeling how warm her skin was,feeling a soft kick,feeling his daughter,overwhelmed him. He fell to his knees beside the bed in silence,keeping his hand on her stomach as he did so. 

Shoto Todoroki felt stupid. Sitting there,feeling the life he’d help create in his wife’s stomach kicking his hand,he felt like an absolute dumbass for ever being afraid. “Fuck..” Was all he could breathe out. (First Name) was starting to wake up,the girl letting out a sleepy groan as she rolled over from the kicking. 

“Hush,baby,let mama sleep..” She muttered,Shoto letting out a chuckle. Hearing the familiar noise made her shoot awake,the girl nearly letting out a scream. 

“Shh! It’s me,I’m sorry!” Shoto said,holding his hands up in surrender. “I just wanted to come talk to you.” 

“Talk to me?! After five months of no calls or texts,you want to talk to me?” (First Name) asked angrily,Shoto nodding. 

“I’ve been busy learning.” Was all he said,(First Name) sighing as she sat up. It was hard for her to sit up on her own,but she ignored his outstretched hand when he tried to help. 

“Learning what,exactly?” She asked him,not bothering to hold back her anger. Her hormones had been acting up,but that didn’t mean her anger wasn’t real. 

“I want to start off by saying I’m sorry,” Shoto told her,bowing deeply. “I short circuited when you told me about the baby,and I didn’t react properly. I should have hugged you and told you everything was okay,but instead I let you leave me. You’ve always been waiting on me to mature and be ready for everything,and this time I’ll wait for you. You don’t have to accept my apology,(First Name),but please don’t leave me completely.. I bought us a house and everything,she has an entire nursery set up,and I’ve filled the fridge with everything Momo told me you’ve been craving,so please just give me one more chance.” 

“You’ve been talking to Momo..?” (First Name) asked,staring down at him with wide eyes. She felt like breaking down and forgiving him already,but she had to be cautious first. 

“From day one. She’s texted me every single time you’ve been craving anything,and sent me pictures from every doctor appointment you’ve had. She even sent me the name ideas you’ve had,” Shoto said,raising his head and looking at her. “I’ve spent the last two months with my mother,learning everything I could about raising a baby.”

“You’ve been doing all that..?” (First Name) asked,her eyes filling with tears. “You’re not bullshitting me,right?” 

“Of course I’m not bullshiting you. It took me a while to find the strength I needed to accept all of this,but I promise I’ll be a better husband,and I’ll be a better father than mine ever was,so please give me this last chance.” Shoto told her,(First Name) finally giving in. 

“It;s your last chance,Shoto,” The (Hair Color) haired girl told him. “I’ll kick your ass if you do it again,got it?” 

“Yes ma’am.” Shoto said,kissing her forehead gently before pulling away. 

When the baby was born a few weeks later,Shoto spent nearly three hours straight crying over how cute his chubby-faced daughter was,and Enji was very proud of the tears he spilled himself when he held his granddaughter. Izuku swore to take his duties as an uncle very seriously,while Katsuki was already in love with the chubby-faced newborn the second she wrapped her little fingers around his. Momo and Kyoka were both crying and talking about how they were going to adopt a baby soon,while Tsuyu just tried to calm them both down with Ochaco’s help. Hitoshi and Tenya were threatening everyone as they tried to get their friends to shut up,while Denki and Mina were doing ‘happy dances’ around the hospital room. The nurses had given up on trying to interfere with the room,and (First Name) was just fast asleep amongst the chaos. Their daughter was surrounded with love from day one.
