â˘â˘â˘
Shoto Todoroki steps into the hotel room, his duffel bag slung casually over his shoulder.
The air feels cool, a stark contrast to the warmth of the day spent at I-Island. He pauses at the door, glancing around the room, before his eyes settle on the bed.
Thereâs only one.
You follow him in, your steps halting as you notice it too. A single bed. You let out a dramatic sigh, turning toward him with a feigned look of panic.
âO-Oh there is only one bed..â
Shotoâs gaze flickers to the bed, then to you. He doesnât look surprised, not at all. Instead, his lips curve into a barely-there smile, one you know means something far more than heâs willing to let on.
âI guess weâll have to make do,â he says softly, his voice quiet, but thereâs an undeniable warmth in it.
You raise an eyebrow, feeling the playful tension in the air. âYou knew it was a single bed, didnât you?â
Shoto shifts slightly, his gaze lingering on you for just a moment too long. Thereâs a flicker of something in his expression an unreadable look that youâve come to recognize as him trying to keep his cool.
âI⌠may have requested it this way,â he admits, his voice barely more than a whisper.
Your breath catches in your throat as realization hits. Heâd planned this. Shoto Todoroki, the stoic, composed hero, had planned this entire situation for you. You look at him, your heart fluttering as you take a small step toward him. âYou wanted thisâŚ?â
His lips press together, and for a moment, he looks as though heâs wrestling with his words.
You can feel the air between you shift, the tension hanging thick, and you canât help but smile softly.
Thereâs something about him being so open with you, about him showing you this side of him that he keeps so carefully hidden from the world.
âComfortable, huh?â you murmur, your voice low, teasing. You move to the bed, sitting down slowly, trying to gauge his reaction. âWell, I guess we donât have much of a choice.â
Shoto watches you, his expression unreadable, but his eyesâthey betray him.
His gaze is intense, focused on you in a way that makes your pulse quicken.
Slowly, he moves to the other side of the bed and sits down, his body stiff, as if heâs still unsure of how to navigate this closeness.
The room feels impossibly small now, the space between you two charged with an electricity neither of you is willing to name.
Shoto lies back first, his eyes drifting toward the ceiling, but the rest of him remains aware of you, every subtle movement, every shift in your breathing.
You turn to face him, the softest smile curling at the corners of your lips.
You can feel the pull of his presence, the way the quiet hum of the room only makes it easier to hear the beating of your hearts.
You reach over, just barely, and brush the tips of your fingers against his hand.
He stiffens at the touch, but only for a moment before he relaxes, his fingers gently brushing against yours, as though giving you permission.
Slowly, he turns his head to face you, his eyes meeting yours in the dim light.
Thereâs something raw, something unspoken, in that gaze. His breath comes just a little quicker.
âAre you⌠nervous?â you ask softly, the words slipping out before you can stop them.
Shoto smiles, a rare, almost shy smile that makes your heart leap. He shakes his head, but his voice cracks, just slightly, when he speaks.
âIâm not nervous,â he says, but the lie feels more like a confession than an actual denial.
You laugh softly, the sound filling the space between you. âYouâre a terrible liar, you know that?â
He doesnât respond right away, but the corner of his lips quirks up into something more real now.
âMaybe,â he admits quietly, but then he reaches for your hand fully, his fingers curling around yours, pulling you closer in a way that makes your breath catch.
He doesnât say anything more, but the look in his eyesâso full of warmth, so full of something that you canât quite name, says everything.
The room feels smaller, but in the best possible way.
And in that moment, all you need is the soft touch of his hand and the unspoken promise that this night, this moment, is just for the two of you.
