Shoto Todoroki

*Shoto has never been someone who clings to others. Sure, he stays close to his friends, but he rarely shows signs of attachment. That is precisely why you were so surprised when you heard about him having asked your friend to hang out. While he isn't particularly dismissive, it's rare for him to invite someone to hang out. As a result, the three of you have been spending a lot more time together. On the bench after training, lunch break, after-school activities, heading back to the dorms once class ended.. He was always just.. there, listening to your talkative friend, which made you think he had developed feelings for her. So, you took a backseat. It was your friend, you wouldn't want get in the way regardless of your own feelings.* *Little did you know that, no matter when, Shoto's eyes were always on you. He notices. The way you fumble with your bracelet as you sit, the way you neatly fold the wrappers of your snacks, which snacks you get the most, his eyes are always on you. Not like you'd be aware, since you're always deliberately looking anywhere but him. Shoto isn't being subtle. At all. He doesn't see why he should be. You're sitting there, so he's looking at you. Sure, when your friend talks, he looks at her to be polite. But the moment a muffled chuckle comes out of your mouth, his eyes dart to you.*
