Based on @kitanoko 's fic (The Queen on AO3), when Momo had her grand Cinderella dress moment and Shoto was astounded beyond reasonable doubt. Look at him, basking in the presence of her royal majestic-ness, the little dork that he is.
Shouto isnât a bad student. He doesnât go out of his way and goes insane over his homework, but his grades are good enough to get by. He may seem bad by comparison, considering his best friends are in the top 5 of the class. Iida and Midoriya donât mess around when it comes to their classes. And then there is his girlfriend, the absolute top of the class. He knows how smart the people in his life are. And it isnât that he is stupid or anything, he is normal (sometimes he and Uraraka pair up in their study sessions just to remind themselves that their friends and significant others are the outliers.)
Yaoyorozu knows he isnât an idiot. She knows he has his strengths. She admires him for other reasons and their relationship, both as partners and heroes in training, works, because they complement each other.
That all being said...
Theyâre in self-study now, so most of the class is chatting and laughing. Usually, Shouto would join Midoriya, Iida and Uraraka while Yaoyorozu either helped others or went over her homework with Jirou. Today, however, she shyly approached him and asked:
âTodoroki-san, may we study together?â
His heart heart clenched. Theyâve been together for weeks now, but he can never get over how cute she is.Â
âSure,â he said. He wondered if his voice sounded as broken to her as it did to him.Â
Uraraka and Midoriya always tell him he tends to not show what heâs really feeling, but it isnât possible that it isnât obvious to the world how weak he is when Yaoyorozu is around.Â
How he blushes a bit when she smiles and sits by his side.Â
Hell, he doesnât even like studying, but he likes the way his classmates know to leave them alone so they can study together. Itâs such a couple thing to do and Shouto enjoys the moments they spend with their shoulders pressed together, sharing one book and scribbling away until...
âI really canât figure this one out,â Yaoyorozu mumbles, tapping at the book with her pen.
Shouto squints at the book. Truth be told, he wasnât really paying attention to the exercise, maybe he can...
Before Shouto can start reading, she grabs the book and stands. Wasnât she asking for help...?
Yaoyorozu crosses the class and walks to... Bakugou. Shouto blinks in confusion as she calmly excuses herself and takes the seat Kirishima vacated to go mess around with Kaminari and Ashido. Yaoyorozu sits with Bakugou and shows him the question as though this is something normal to do. Shouto is aware that Bakugou finally surpassed Iida and is the no. 2 in grades now, but... What the hell? Since when Yaoyorozu is friends with Bakugou? Since when Bakugou helps others, other than Kirishima?
He watches as she gets confortable, not even flinching at Bakugouâs snappy answers. The two of them seem perfectly fine exchanging theories.Â
Shouto glances at the back of the room, wondering if Kirishima isnât going to interrupt them, but the red head seems completely distracted with whatever the hell Kaminari is saying.Â
He turns back to Yaoyorozu and Bakugou. Bakugou takes her pen and starts scribling something on her notebook. Shouto stands.Â
Right then, they hear the bell announcing lunch time... which is good, because he has no idea what he was planning to do. Either way, lunch means no more homework, right? He walks to Bakugouâs desk.
âYaoyorozu-san, letâs go to the cafeteria,â he says.
Bakugou glares at him, annoyed that his line of thought got interrupted. Shouto glares back, which surprises both boys. He doesnât usually get riled up by Bakugouâs shenanigans.Â
âAh, Todoroki-san, Iâm sorry,â Yaoyorozu smiles sweetly. âWould you mind going ahead? Bakugou-san and I are almost done, Iâll join you in a minute.â
Shouto frowns. She didnât notice anything. Of course she didnât. She doesnât have any idea how amazing she is or the effect she has on others. He canât be mad at her, because... Well. He loves all of her, even that earnest side. The boy sighs. Heâs being irrational, he knows, and he trusts her, for crying out loud. That being said...
âFine,â Shouto says. Then he leans down and plants a kiss on her lips. âIâll wait for you.â
Yaoyorozuâs cheeks become a lovely shade of crimson and he hears squeals behind them. Theyâre not keeping their relationship a secret, but theyâre not big on the PDA.Â
Regardless, there is only one person that was supposed to see that. He turns to Bakugou to make sure he got the message and is surprised to see the other boy smirking widely.
âHeh,â Bakugou scoffs. âSo thatâs your weakness, icy hot?â
Shouto feels himself blushing. Huffing, he turns around to leave. Damn annoying loud explosion bastard.Â
Alas. So long he understands Yaoyorozu is Shoutoâs and Shouto is hers, there is no problem.
ur tdmm thread on twitter is awesome, i convert ppl to ship them through that đ€Ł
Ah thank you so much, I did it because I was tired of people dismissing Todomomo as something made-up that didnât have any base, when itâs one of the few relationships in shonen that has interactions and mutual respect and itâs more than just âsheâs pretty, he is pretty they have to be together after a time skipâ I really like that aspect of their friendship, itâs there if you connect the dots in between chapters. (just like Kirishima and Mina and Shouji and Tokoyami having all a background bond that later comes to be relevant and you think âdid this come out of nowhere? no, it was there all along if you read their background interactions.)
