The crisp autumn leaves crunched under Todoroki’s boots. Trailing behind him, was none other than ♡. “I’m sorry, we’re almost there,” He apologized to ♡, assuming that they were growing bored. “It’s okay!” ♡ managed to squeak out. He stopped momentarily, letting his friend catch up to him. “What are we doing again?” ♡ cocked their head up at Todoroki. He gave them a small smile, “Just buying some things for later tonight.” ♡ thought back to yesterday, where he came up to them, asking if they had any plans at all. To which they responded with a shake of their head. He followed it up by asking if they wanted to hang out together the next day. ♡ agreed, wanting to spend more time with him.Â
♡ wrapped their jacket tighter around their frame, as they trailed behind Todoroki in the store.”What do you have planned for tonight?” ♡ asked, watching Todoroki stare at an aisle full of different types of crackers. “Well... I wanted to try this one food I saw in a show. I thought you would like it too since you like sweets.”♡’s face heated up as he mentioned a small fact about them. “I didn’t think you’d remember...” Todoroki chuckled at them. “I don’t see why not.” He decided on a popular brand of crackers and hauled ♡ to another aisle. This time, it was full of sweets and candies. ♡’s eyes widen in awe, looking at the varieties of candy. “Pick a chocolate bar,” Todoroki gestured at the chocolates with the bag of marshmallows he was holding. Deciding on (dark, milk, white) they handed it to him and followed him to the cash register.Â
Todoroki set the small bag on the picnic table. “Unpack these.” ♡ nodded as he brought out two metal rods. They unpacked the snacks, breaking the crackers in half and putting chocolate in each as Todoroki explained. “Um...” ♡ pointed at the rods, as if to ask him what he was planning on doing. He stuck a large marshmallow on the ends of the rod and created a small fire on his right hand. Once it was a golden brown, he set the marshmallow on the cracker/chocolate mix and placed another cracker on top. Todoroki repeated the actions for the next marshmallow.Â
“Let me know what you think,” The two of them grabbed a s’more, and took a bite. “Wow, this tastes good!” Todoroki chuckled to himself, hearing ♡ exclaim about the treat. “I wish we could eat these more often.” ♡ shook her head in agreement, knowing their strict hero diet wouldn’t let them eat such a treat often. The two huddled next to each other, ♡ enjoying the small bit of heat that his left side emitted. “♡...there’s something I want to tell you. But I don’t know if I can,” His head tipped downwards. ♡ studied his face, seeing a solemn expression. “You can always talk to me about anything,” ♡ pressed him to continue. “Well...I have a crush on you...” He trailed off, turning away from ♡. Their body tensed up in shock. ♡ replayed his confession throughout their head over and over again. “Todoroki I-” “Shoto.” He looked back at ♡, smiling warmly at them. “Shoto, I...love you.” His grin faltered a bit. “I don’t know if we can be together though.” He admitted. ♡ raised their eyebrows at him. His heterochromatic eyes glanced at their expression.Â
“Why not?” “I’ve never...actually been with someone before. This is my first time being around people my age.” ♡ frowned, remembering how he told them that he was rarely allowed friends or to even be around his siblings when he was younger since he was deemed a child prodigy by Endeavor. “It’s okay.” ♡’s hand intertwined with his, as they beamed at him. “I’ll wait until you’re comfortable.” Todoroki felt his heart beat faster. What did he ever do to deserve someone like ♡? “Thank you.” He squeezed back their hand.Â
