I'm curious to know why the fandom isn't more into ships like Todoroki x Ashido and Todoroki x Hagakure, when these two girls have been vocal about finding him attractive lol.
That's adorable! Hagakure is so outgoing and bubbly, so she's a good foil for calm and reserved Shoto. He's easygoing and wants to make her happy so he'll often let her dictate how they hang out, but sometimes he'll surprise her with over-the-top dates. I really dig it!
Send a pairing to my inbox and I'll tell you what I think of them!

This time… I ’ll get him, for sure.
Or so she says, but Hagakure Tooru still hesitates. She has three cards to go in her hand, and she sees that across from her, Todoroki Shouto has seven cards left to shed. Objectively speaking, she’s in the lead, and she’s halfway to winning her little bet against him.
Despite this, though, Todoroki doesn’t seem fazed in the least. Which makes her nervous, because if he isn’t worried, then maybe he still has something up his sleeve. And she really doesn’t want to lose this game. After all, loser has to do anything the winner asks, anything at all!
She tries to stare at his face, tries to read what he’s thinking, but it’s so hard--she can’t get past the fact that his face is so blank, and he’s so… unjustly good-looking, and he’s staring right back at her.
“Your turn,” he says, as if he thinks she’s forgotten already, because she’s taking an awfully long time to put down her next card.
Tooru huffs. “I know! Gimme a little more time to think, Todoroki-kun! Mou!”
The corner of his mouth turns upward, juuuust a little bit, and Tooru feels her heart go into overdrive. “All right. Take your time.”
“Fine!” She knows she’s probably being annoying, but she can’t help it. Todoroki is pretty good at confusing her. It’s just so hard to understand what he’s thinking.
And she thought she has the advantage in these kinda games, because darn it, she’s the invisible one! She doesn’t even have a face to read! So why does she think that he knows exactly what she’s thinking!? It’s not fair!
Her invisible hands hover over the queen of spades and the queen of hearts. She doesn’t know if she should play ones or twos--Todoroki has seven cards to go, after all, and the chances that he could fight against a pair is pretty high. But if the rest of the cards he has left are terrible, then she could win this easily…
After more fussing and fussing, she finally decides on putting down the queen of spades.
Todoroki blinks at the card, and then at her. “Sure?... that's too bad, Hagakure. No second chances.”
Tooru feels herself break out into a sweat. W-why would he say that?! She doesn’t know if he’s bluffing or not, but in any case, it’s against the rules to take back her card now! “I… I put it down already, Todoroki-kun! So there! Don’t try to trick me, because…”
“Mhm. I warned you.”
The smile he gives her is so cute, it’s deadly.
Oh no.
Breathlessly, Tooru watches as Todoroki quietly places the two of diamonds on the pile. And then a straight hand. And finally, the four of clubs.
“Nooooooo!!!!” Tooru squeals dramatically, throwing herself in the floor between them. “Y--you sneaky--!!!”
Todoroki huffs in amusement. “Not my fault you’re very easy to read, Hagakure.”
“How! How am I easy to read! I’m invisible!!!” She’s just throwing a tantrum now. She ought to be embarrassed, but her indignation only grows when the boy starts chuckling at her antics.
“You just are, Hagakure. I know what you’re thinking all the time.” He crawls closer to her and gestures for her to get into position.
With a hearty harrumph, Tooru relents and crosses her legs. Todoroki obliges and places his head at her lap, shimmying a little bit to make himself more comfortable. “I’m claiming my 30 minute scalp massage now. Please and thank you.”
“Fine,” she grumbles playfully, placing phantom fingers into his soft hair. “You’re lucky you’re cute, Todoroki-kun, and your hair is so nice.”
Todoroki hums contentedly, closes his eyes and begins to melt under her touch.
