This is a fanfiction dedicated to a friend of mine, since it’s her birthday today. I’m doing it at random, just saying. :D She enjoys my writing, so I decided this would be a good present, being under quarantine and all...
Happy birthday, Bitchy Sensei!
“Just go for it, Todoroki-san. I’m sure it will work.”
Shouto rubbed the back of his neck nervously staring at the floor.
“I don’t know, Midoriya...I feel like this is completely unnecessary. I can just find another way to court her.”
“Just fucking do it already! How damn hard can it be to tell a girl you like her. You don’t even need those lame pick up lines. It’s just one girl, for crying out loud.”
Bakugou had overheard the conversation and knew about Todoroki’s failed attempts at asking Yaoyorozu out, so he couldn’t hold in his annoyance anymore. This was ridiculous. It’s not as if Todoroki was making a life threatening decision or something.
“Easy for you to say. You speak as if you’ve done it before, Bakugou...wait...have you? Huh? Have you asked anyone out before?”
Kirishima joined in and was curious to find out whether his friend had ever had any experience in this field. And by the look on everyone’s faces, they were curious as well and stared intently at the angry blonde.
To everyone’s surprise, Bakugou blushed deeply and got even angrier.
“It’s none of your goddamn business.”
He stomped off and left a confused bunch of inexperienced guys behind.
Kirishima just sighed and mumbled something about him being a hothead then focused his attention back to Todoroki.
“So...Yaomomo, huh? That’s a pretty high bar. But I guess since you’re both top students and have a history together, I think it might work out, so I’m rooting for you.”
Kirishima slapped Todoroki’s shoulder supportively and both him and Deku encouraged him to act.
When Shouto was finally convinced, he waited for the moment when he and Momo would be alone.
After classes he rushed to her locker and waited patiently. She arrived a few minutes later and couldn’t hide her surprise.
“Todoroki-san, I thought you had already left. You rushed out of the classroom so suddenly.”
He watched her as she started putting away her thing and preparing to leave.
“Yeah, I just had something to do before I leave.”
He began to feel nervous and hadn’t noticed he was blushing until she stared at him with concern and placed her hand on his forehead.
“Todoroki-san, you feel so hot. I think it might be a fever. You should go to the nurse to make sure you’re ok. I’ll come with you.”
His previously thought out plan was quickly being forgotten and all he remembered was Kirishima’s advice - “If something goes wrong, just woo her with a pick up line.”
He then grabbed her hand and held it close to him.
“Your hand looks heavy, let me hold it for you.”
Momo was taken aback and there was no reaction from her at first. She was processing what had just been said.
“Uhm...is it that heavy? I wasn’t aware. I’m sorry, if I troubled you...”
Shouto inwardly facepalmed for sounding so rude, but he wasn’t about to give up yet. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
“You’re shaking. Are you cold? Because I’d like to catch you sometime.”
Momo still wasn’t sure what the hell was happening and thought Todoroki was saying weird things because of the fever.
“I’m not cold actually. Maybe it feels this way because of your fever.”
It wasn’t working at all and this situation was becoming uncomfortable for both of them, so he decied to step up his game and be more direct.
“I’m no photographer, but I can picture us together.”
His words finally sank in and Momo’s mouth was agape. She stepped back and retrieved her hand, while staring at him like a deer in headlights.
He shut his eyes and rubbed his forehead, trying to calm down. This was absolutely ridiculous. What was he doing? Of course a girl like Momo wouldn’t be impressed by stuff like that.
He took a deep breath and looked at her with a serious expression. After all, it turned out that Deku’s idea was better - “Just say what you really feel. She would appreciate it at least. Momo is not a bad person.”
“I really like you, Yaoyorozu.”
Her eyes widened in surprise but she just listened.
“I’m sorry for confusing you, it’s just...I have never wanted to be with someone as much as I want to be with you and it took me a long time to figure out how to approach you. It seems that I’ve only made a fool of myself and would accept your rejection. I don’t want to make you feel worse than you already do.”
Shouto bowed slightly. He was so embarrassed, he couldn’t even look at her.
When he was about to leave, he felt her grab his hand and he turned around abruptly. They were now face to face and were both beet red.
“I...I want to apologize, too, Todoroki-san. I don’t feel bad. I’m actually exultant. I like you, too. So, please, don’t let my ignorance in courting stop you from expressing your feelings. I too have been trying to get your attention. I even went as far as to ask for advice from my friends. I was actually mustering up the courage to give you this.”
She handed him a white envelope, which he opened and read the contents of the small piece of paper in it.
Momo was fidgeting and blushing, waiting for him to read it.
Shouto’s eyes widened and he looked back at Momo.
With the small paper still in his hand, he threw himslef at her and embraced her. His joy was too great to keep under control and after finally being reassured of her mutual feelings, he didn’t feel nervous anymore and just wanted to act on his current emotions. She pressed herself against him and hugged him as well.
This went on for a while and the forgotten piece of paper, now crumpled in a moment of bliss, still read:
I have never had an interest in someone until I met you. I do not expect your feelings to be returned, but I just wanted to say what might be a once in a lifetime opportunity to express feelings that might not occur again with anyone else.
I am happiest when I am with you.
TodoMomo is one of my OTPs. <3
I want to write more random fics but we’ll see how it goes.
Stay safe and thanks for reading. <3
