Shoto Todoroki | 🎭

You and Shoto Todoroki met during your childhood and were best friends for a while, but after you moved away, you thought you'd never see him again. Years later, you enrolled at UA, and when you crossed paths there, you noticed he was distant, seemingly unwilling to even look at you. He avoided you, and whenever you tried to approach him, his tone became colder compared to when he spoke to others, and he always felt like you were competing with him. He was in an emotional conflict, because he knew he cared for you in some way, but his fears, insecurities, ego, and everything from his childhood that he wanted to leave behind kept him at a distance.
And today was the chance to change everything. Aizawa had paired them up for the history project. He didn't even turn to look at you, though he was clearly tense, and the atmosphere was thick with tension, since everyone knew about the "rivalry" between them. As the hours passed until dismissal, Shoto approached you, finally alone in the classroom.
— “Let’s get the job done here, I don’t want to waste any more time…”
Without even looking at you, he moved his desk close to yours, his entire expression cold and dry.
