Headcanon/Prompt:
Todoroki x Female MC
8 years after HaLWX
Todoroki Yosuke, along with the other full-time Oyakou members, has created a private security agency with Todoroki as the CEO.
He still remains as stoic as he is but takes his job very seriously.
He easily gets stressed and pissed when an assignment has some issues but relying on his friends (Fujio and the gang) always helps resolve the issues.
As Oyakou alumni, they still look after the district as part of their mission (Todoroki assigned Fujio to lead this group).
Though very diligent, with the help of his friends, he has learned to take things easy and unwind when they could.
He hasn't dated in a long time because most girls just go after his looks and status, so he mainly focused on his responsibilities and only hang out with his friends (including Odajima).
The boys once again set up a dating mixer and upon remembering the funny and failed encounter they had back in high school, Todoroki decided to go just to witness his friends fail hitting on girls for the hundredth time.
You are finishing your master's degree.
You are working part time on a bakery (since you started college) to help pay for your expenses.
You also haven't dated since your 3rd year in college because your last boyfriend cheated on you.
Your best friend from the same department tagged you along (by force) to go to a dating mixer because she thought it's time for you to get to know someone.
During the mixer, Todoroki immediately caught your eye because of how he carried himself. Something about him was different from the other guys.
While doing the introductions, he only curtly bowed to you, so you took it as him not being interested in you.
He was the quiet type but also wasn't dismissive when being talked to. He didn't crack jokes like his friends, but he smiled, smirked, or laughed when he found something funny.
Still, you couldn't help but steal glances at him because when he laughed or smiled at one of his friends' jokes, it made your heart skip a beat.
It was obvious that he was annoyed at the girls who were pushy and aggressively flirted with him, but he was being a gentleman on how he turned their advances down.
You easily got along with his friends (some from Oyakou, some from Housen) because they were so funny, and they enjoyed your comebacks.
In the middle of it all, your best friend and Odajima were in their own world, your best friend completely forgetting about you. She looked happy and they obviously liked each other, so you didn't get in their way.
Those who found each other interesting also started pairing up and talked to each other.
Feeling out of place and a little skeptical about mixer relationships, you decided to head outside for a breath of fresh air.
You were startled when a manly voice suddenly asked you if you regretted coming. When you turned around, it was Todoroki who was already outside long before you, reading something from his phone.
He told you he recognized you as one of the girls from the mixer and that he thought his friends could handle themselves, so they probably don't need him around.
You told him about your best friend being engrossed with a conversation with Odajima. He told you that if Odajima found your friend interesting, you might as well consider going home alone. He awkwardly paused and stuttered because he realized the rudeness of his joke and his reaction made you laugh, taking zero offense to what he said.
You exchanged jokes and laughs with each other, mainly about his friends.
Small talks led to you telling each other about yourselves.
When he noticed you were slightly trembling from the chilly night breeze, he asked you if you wanted to go to a cafe somewhere.
You tried your best to conceal how surprised you were at his offer. You couldn't believe that he might be a little interested in you and the conversation you already had. Wearing the most casual smile you could, you agreed.
None of you used the map to look for a cafe nearby and just strolled around the block and the next, carrying on with your random topics.
At the coffee shop, your conversation with him continued smoothly and naturally without being forced.
It was already past 2:00 AM when you both remembered to check the time.
While you were both silently waiting for the ride you booked for yourself on your phone, he broke the silence and asked for your number.
You were smiling like a teenager on the ride home thinking about Todoroki and any interesting thing he mentioned to you that night.
Your phone pinged, "Good night. Would be nice to see you again soon (if you'd like). -Todoroki," an unknown number texted you.
That night, you know for sure, you've finally come to like someone again after a long time.
