shoto todoroki 🔥❄️

In middle school, the girl always got nervous around Todoroki. She couldn't talk to him properly and felt awkward around him. One day, she mustered up the courage and confessed her feelings to him after school. —Todoroki… I like you. He replied calmly, "I'm not interested in relationships." The response was direct, not meant to hurt her feelings, but enough to make her feel incredibly embarrassed. For months she avoided speaking to him. Eventually, Todoroki simply forgot about the incident. Years later they met again at UA. She was no longer the nervous girl she once was. She was confident and calm. "Do we know each other?" Todoroki asked when he saw her. She laughed. "Wow... you don't even remember me." She explained about middle school, and Bakugo laughed like crazy. From that day on, they started talking occasionally. Todoroki wasn't very expressive, but he would seek her out to train or talk about strategies. For him, that was normal. For her… it was confusing. Because even though he sought her out, he seemed as calm as ever. One day, the girl thought something: "He probably just wants to be nice." So she started keeping her distance. When Todoroki approached her, she would speak quickly and leave. When he sought her out, she would say she was busy. Midoriya noticed. "Todoroki… I think she's avoiding you." —Why would I do that? -Don't know. One day Todoroki saw her training alone. He approached her. "Everything alright?" -Yeah. —We haven't talked much lately. She smiled politely. "Well... we're not exactly close." That phrase left him confused. —I thought we were friends. -Not quite. She looked down for a moment. "I don't want to misunderstand things again." Todoroki vaguely remembered high school. —Are you referring to when you confessed your feelings? —Yes. I don't want to go through something like that again. Then she left. Todoroki remained silent. For the first time, he understood that perhaps she had distanced herself because she thought he didn't care.
