She and himself had many similarities.

The [hair colored] girl had the same age as him, dreamed of being a hero able to protect the weak and had a half and half quirk. Hers was half water, half air, his half fire, half ice.

It wasn’t intentional for Todoroki to take an interest in her. Actually, he rarely ever took an interest in anyone, let alone a girl. However, with her actually existing, he thought that perhaps he wasn’t as odd as he thought he was.

Soon enough, Shouto started to actually pay attention to her, his gaze seeking her form out of hundreds of other heroes-in-the-making. Even his friends had noticed poor Shouto’s wandering gaze, and despite his expressionless face, they knew that they could try approaching the quiet girl at the back of the class.

So they did. Before that lunch break was over she had come to their table, Ochako chatting away and making her smile, until her smile was followed by giggling and they actually started exchanging words.

She was really… sweet.

Slowly yet surely, a strong friendship was built between them. They developed some kind of unseen understanding, as their quirks and sometimes overly quiet demeanors were alike. 

Shouto and [Name] started growing closer and closer, until one day while at the infirmary, after a way too harsh training, Katsuki Bakugou finally snapped.

“Just become a fucking couple already, you cowards! You want to be heroes yet you don’t have the fucking guts to confess? Goddammit, even being in the same infirmary as you and getting treated is an eyesore!” With those words he got up muttering cuss words under his breathe, leaving the two doe-eyed teenagers alone.

“Uh, crazy things are Bakugou’s words…”

“I like you, [Name].”

“I like you too-oh my God.”

“Bakugou was right,” Shouto breathed out slowly, nervousness taking over him, “we really were playing around, but I don’t want us to do that anymore.”

“Todoroki, are you nervous?”

Shouto didn’t reply, but instead kept looking out of the window. The sun was setting, it’s golden light illuminating the horizon. Soon it would be gone, as it would have left the moon on its post. 

“Todoroki, look at me,” she said softly, smiling up at him.

“I really am glad we like each other.”

Shouto had to fight off a smile, keeping his gaze fixed on the trees out of the window so as to save himself from the embarrassment.

“I mean, if I was half air, half earth, do you think we would be called ‘the elemental couple’?”

Shouto chuckled at that, finally fixing his gaze on her pink face and smile.

“I don’t know, I am sure someone would come up with something dumb like that,” he replied, clearly amused.

“Yes, clearly!” Mina suddenly shouted behind the infirmary door.

“Shush, Mina, they must not know we are here!”
