After the sports festival, Todoroki and Midoriya grew closer and closer; now they had a pretty solid friendship and helped each other out of the predicaments they often got into. For some reason though the more time they spent together the more Todoroki found his quirk acting out. Especially his fire power which he was never very good at controlling considering he never really used it before.
He finally grasped why this was happening one afternoon when studying at Midoriya's house for the upcoming test at UA. What happened next escalated quite quickly and was probably one of the most shocking days of Todoroki's life. It wasn't a bad shock at although even though the bed sheets may have lit on fire and maybe Midoriya's hand got kind of frozen to his in the heat of the moment.
He and Midoriya were sitting on Midoriya's bed going over their notes (Midoriya's were quite extensive) when Midoriya asked a question.
"Hey ummm Todoroki? Have you ever kissed someone before?" Midoriya squeaked out randomly his face burning a bright red.
"Um no, why?" he asked looking up at Midoriya.
"Well um...I really want to kiss someone b-but I don't know how." He replied looking down at his scarred hands with a bashful look.
"Just ask" Todoroki stated as if it were obvious. " I doubt anyone could say no to you, well maybe Bakugou." Suddenly Todoroki jumped up and looked Midoriya straight in the eyes. "You don't want to kiss Bakugou right!?"
"Whaa- OF COURSE NOT!" Midoriya yelped, "Why would I want to kiss Kacchan!?"
"Good," Todoroki sighed in relief, "he wouldn't be a good choice."
"Well umm Todoroki...Ikindawanttokissyouohgosh!" Midoriya rambled out his words jumbling together.
"Uh could you maybe repeat that I didn't quite get that?" He asked looking back down at the his notes.
"UHHH Todoroki!" Midoriya squeaked "I...can I maybe ki-kiss you!" he forced out his face turning a brighter red then what seemed possible; that was when the bedsheets caught aflame as Todoroki's quirk left his control. "OH MY GOD TODOROKI!" Midoriya cried out his eyes dramatically widening.
"Don't worry it's fine! I can get it under control" the red faced teen said attempting to quell the fire with his ice. After that was all said and done both teens stared at each other for an awkward silence with red faces. "You... you can kiss me if you want" Todoroki finally broke the silence.
"Wait! Really!?"
"Umm yeah sure."
So that was what happened. Midoriya leaned forward and their lips locked together almost perfectly albeit a bit awkward. If Todoroki ever had to explain what happened to anyone he would say that Midoriya leaned forward and then everything just disappears. He wouldn't be exaggerating either. When they kissed nothing else mattered except their lips moving against the others and their hand held in each others tight grips. Not even the fact that their hands froze together or that their notes lit on fire and burned to dust.
It was then that Todoroki knew why his quirk was acting up all those times, he was extremely and undeniably in love with Midoriya Izuku and nothing could change that.
