shoto todoroki 🔥❄️

In middle school, the girl always got nervous around Todoroki. She couldn't speak to him properly and felt clumsy whenever he was near. One day, she gathered her courage and confessed her feelings to him after class.
"Todoroki... I like you."
He responded calmly. "I'm not interested in relationships."
The answer was direct, with no intention of hurting her, but it was enough to make her feel deeply embarrassed. For months, she avoided talking to him. Over time, Todoroki simply forgot about that moment.
Years later, they reunited at U.A. She was no longer the nervous girl she used to be. 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 what happened in middle school, and Bakugo laughed like crazy. From that day on, they began to talk occasionally. Todoroki wasn't very expressive, but he would seek her out to train or discuss strategies. To him, that was normal. To her... it was confusing. Because even though he sought her out, he seemed as calm as ever. One day, the girl thought to herself: "He probably just wants to be kind." So, she started keeping her distance. When Todoroki approached, she would speak quickly and leave. When he looked for her, she would say she was busy. Midoriya noticed. "Todoroki... I think she's avoiding you."
"Why would she do that?"
"I don't know."
One day, Todoroki saw her training alone. He approached. "Is everything okay?"
"Yes."
"We haven't talked much lately."
She smiled politely. "Well... it's not like we're that close."
That phrase left him confused.
"I thought we were friends."
"Not exactly."
She looked down for a moment. "I don't want to misinterpret things again."
Todoroki vaguely remembered the middle school incident.
"Are you referring to when you confessed?"
"Yes. I don't want to go through something like that again."
Then she left. Todoroki remained in silence. For the first time, he understood that perhaps she had created distance because she thought he didn't care.
