You where breathless, and coughed "Are you okay L/n?" Iida pats your back "Y-yeah... Just working har-d" you say in-between breathes. "You should really take a break L/n, we don't want you to get sick before the Spring Festival!" Midoriya says, you cough. "This is idiotic..." you look up at Todoroki, he was walking over to you and grabbed your wrist "I'm taking L/n home, she needs rest" you pull for your hand. Your cheeks get hot "Todoroki- I'm fine-" he pulls you along, you sigh as your tripping over your feet. Todoroki was always like this with you, and you hated it because he definitely wouldn't like you back, no matter how many times he acts like you two are close he wouldn't actually like you.

You've known this for a while, everytime he touched you, talked to you, texted you. You felt special, but you knew he wouldn't like you in that special way, because sadly he only cared about becoming a hero. You where both halfway down the hall way when you tore your hand out of his grip. "Todoroki I am fi-" a loud crash interrupts you and you feel a pain in your side as you get thrown into another room. "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DAMN RED HEAD!" you recognized Bakugou's voice "I-Im sorry, please calm down!" Kirishima says.

"Damn you..." you hear footsteps stepping away from the crowded room you where in. You took a second to look at your surroundings, you where next to Todoroki, barley touching, in a broom closet. Todoroki sighs "Let's get out of here and get home, Bakugou is so immature..." he grabs the handle. A couple seconds go by until you both scream "I-it's locked!" You say in fear "W-what if we're stuck in here forever-!". You start to hyperventilate from the fear of being stuck in a closet "Y/n!" You blink back into reality, Todoroki was holding your shoulders.

"I would get us out of here, but I might hurt you" you shake "I just don't want to be stuck in here". "Maybe you could try wetting the door until it is soft enough to punch out" you nod "Great thinking Todoroki!". You think "I need you to make me sad" he raises an eyebrow "Remember when I came to school drenched on a hot day?". He nods "I was sad that day, which triggered a rain storm over my head, if we can get some kind of water I can get this door opened". He thinks for a second, putting his hand on his chin in deep thought "Well, what makes you sad? I don't know a whole lot about your emotional bonds".

You frown "Um, well... I guess I could share a bit" you say sitting down and patting the spot infront of you. He sits as well, your knees both touching you breath "Well, when I was younger my mom was sick for a long time". You say looking at your hands as you play with your fingers "My dad never came home, he barley slept to pay for the bills". "One day, I went up to talk to my mom, but she was dead asleep, too asleep" you chuckle "I called the cops and they confirmed that she died after saying goodnight to me". Todoroki is in deep thought, he looked suprised and a sign of empathy tinted his expression.

"My dad was heartbroken, he used all the money he saved up to pay off our house bills". You smile "But after moving closer to U.A when I got accepted, he started drinking". Todoroki's breath hitches "He still tries to act like a good father, and he is... But when he gets drunk he is so sad". You frown "He cries, and cries all night until I sneak out because I can't sleep" you say, you where about to continue until you felt water dump onto your head. You chuckle sadly "Well, guess that worked..." you control the rain making it hit the door.

"This might take a little while, the rain isn't coming down hard" you say turning to the focused Todoroki. "L/n... I-I'm sorry for your loss" you feel your cheeks heat up and hot tears in your eyes. You never had a funeral for your mother due to how expensive it was, you never heard those words from anyone. "T-thanks Todoroki.." you say in a sob, the rain falls harder "Why didn't you tell me about it earlier?" He says standing. "I- I thought you wouldn't care.." you say looking back at the door "L/n..." you feel his hand on the side of your cheek, and he turns your face to him.

"I care about you a lot" you feel your cheeks get hotter, and you can feel his smirk as he sees your face. "If your confessing something important I should too, it's only fair...". You turn fully to him "Since we've became friends, I noticed small things about you, when I told you about my story you where completely there for me". "Even through your own trails you where still there for me, lathered in empathy and hope that I would get better". His thumb rubs your cheek caringly "You are a great part of my life, I can't imagine what I'd be like without you, because of you I'm friends with Iida and Midoriya".

You blush harshly as he continues "You pull yourself down so much, I can tell because you are suprised when people express how they feel towards you". "You know there are people who love you just as much as you... Love them" you chuckle nervously "T-todoroki...". He leans in, closely to your face "I have something to confess Y/n..." you felt your stomach turn "he used your name". Your back was against the door, and he pressed into you "Can't you feel how thick the air is?" You chuckle "I like you Y/-". A cracking sound jumps you both, but you both fall back hearing louder cracking and you both hit the floor.

"Ow..." you say sitting up, Todoroki moves off of you "Oh my God, are you two okay?!". You look up at Mina "Y-yeah..." you say painfully "What where you two doing in there?" Jiro helps you up as Mina helps Todoroki. "Bakugou accidentally shut us in there during a fight" she laughs "Wow, sounds like something he'd do.." they small talk for a while before leaving you two alone. Your face becomes heated again as you grab your hands playing with your fingers "Y-you where saying...". He smiles and walks over to you putting a hand on your cheek once more "I wanted to tell you that I like you...".

He plants a kiss on your lips.
