Snow - TodoDeku Moment

REQUEST: Maybe one where Todoroki bonds over something that reminds him of his mother with Izuka. — This was a cute one! Wanted to get something out there in case I wasn’t able to finish the Christmas short I was planning! Here’s some cute TodoDeku <3

It had started snowing a few hours ago before school had let out. It was beautiful to see, the snow falling all around the campus as students shouted with glee at the snow covered ground. He overheard many students talking about what they were going to do over the weekend - go sledding, maybe skiing, make snow angels, or like Bakugou had shouted out to the class when they all crowded around the windows to see the snow falling - “Staying the fuck in my bed and away from you fuckers!”

Todoroki sighed as he watched his classmates run out into the cold. His left side flared up, keeping him warm as he walked towards the dorms, making sure to follow the footsteps already created so he wouldn’t disturb anymore of the snow covered pathways. His mind was reeling with memories of a childhood long ago, one where him and his mother used to-

“Hey, Shou-chan, you in there?”

Todoroki paused as he looked to his left, seeing Izuka smiling up at him, her hand waving in front of his face. He must have stopped along his walk, since she was farther behind him when the class had let out. Her face was flushed a beautiful pink, and her eyes seemed to sparkle in the dimming light of day as he nodded in reply. “Sorry, I was just lost in thought.” He smiled softly down at her, her smiling growing as she wrapped her arm through his, and looked around them.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” She looked up at him, her eyes taking in his expression before pressing on. “Do you have any memories of the snow, Shou-chan?” Todoroki nodded, his mind going back to the memories from before. “I do. All of them with my mother.”

Izuka seemed to brighten at the mention of his mother. She had come with him a few weeks ago to meet her, Shouto wanting to introduce the two as he had talked about Izuka many times to his mother. His mother was ecstatic to meet her, her eyes shining in the way they did when he was younger and free of his father’s burden. Shouto smiled at the thought, his arm tugging lightly to pull Izuka a bit closer.

“Same with me. My mom loved to come outside and make snow angels and bake cookies with hot chocolate whenever it snowed. It was always a lovely time.” Izuka seemed to be far away in the moment, but her soft smile left Shouto musing over an idea.

“Say, Izuka.”

Her eyes lifted up to him, just as they reached the door to the dorming hall. “Yes?”

Shouto smiled at her, his left hand coming up to ruffle out the snowflakes that had gotten caught in her hair. “Would you like to make a snowman with me later, and finish the night with hot chocolate?”

The smile that broke out onto her face was answer enough.

—- Izuka giggled as Shouto shook out his pants leg, his face annoyed as the snow fell from his right pant’s leg. He couldn’t melt it with his left side without causing water to cover his skin, so he took the normal route. He gave Izuka an exasperated look, his eyes with a playful glare as she grinned in his direction.

“Oh yeah, very funny Izuka. Put snow down my pants. Ha. Ha.” Shouto sighed as he finally got the last out of his snow pants, and stripped them off to the extra pair underneath. His right side was chillier than normal, the snow and cold affecting it a lot more than he wished since he couldn’t warm his right side with his left in fear of melting the snow and ruining their moment. He let the warmth flood his body and he smiled as his body settled the cold making him shiver.

He glanced over at Izuka, seeing her hands rub over her arms before her eyes met his.

“Come here.” Shouto waved her over and she walked towards him, her eyes with a questioning look before he pulled her closer by her hand. He wrapped his arms around her, his warmth sinking into her cool skin as a sigh of contentment left her lips.

“Thank you Shouto…” Izuka hummed and he smiled at the calm moment passing between them. She pulled away slightly to look around her dorm room before nodding at her desk that was set up with a few choices of tea, hot chocolate and cookies. “Do you mind warming up the water in the mugs and I can get a movie set up?”

Shouto nodded, reluctant to let her go. He knew there would be time during the movies to hold her close again, his body light as he settled about heating up the mugs of water. He looked through her selection of teas, smiling as a few of his favorites were found. He grabbed a mug of water with his left hand, heating it up to a proper temperature before adding in his tea and setting about the next mug.

He turned around, handing Izuka her own All Might mug and watching her mix in a hefty amount of hot chocolate mix. “Why water? Why not milk?”

Izuka shrugged and smiled at him. “This is how my mom and I always did it. I know some people heat up milk to add the chocolate mix into it, but water tastes just as fine.” She grabbed a candy cane from her desk and a packet of the pocky she likes and settled herself on her bed. She patted the spot next to her, setting the laptop on her lap with the mug placed to the side.

“Weird American Holiday movies alright?”

Shouto held back a barely contained snort, settling himself against her side and glancing at the screen of the laptop. “Jim Carrey version?”

Izuka’s grin spread across her face. “Of course! I enjoy the classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but this Jim Carrey fellow is hilarious. I enjoy all the improps he does in the movie.”

Shouto just smiled at her, nodding in agreement and settling his arm around her waist. “As long as it’s with you, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it.”

Izuka glanced up at him, a shy smile on her face before she leaned over and gently kissed his cheek.

“Me too Shou-chan. Me too.” ***

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Happy New Year to all in case I don’t get around to posting the Christmas short!
