TODOROKI

I narrowly dodge Kaminari punch jumping to my right. I look at him seeing his next move before he even moves into it, a left hook. I smirk as I dodge this as well jumping back a great distance while I decide my next move.

"You seem a little distracted today," states Kaminari smirking. I don't know why the fuck he is smiling. He is out of breath and I can predict most of his moves. He really should consider switching things up. "I plan to use this to my full advance." It is true I'm distracted but I will be taking him down soon enough. Kaminari looks serious but I also see a waiver in his confidence in those eyes as I glare at him unmoved by his words. Kaminari slowly takes a step forward before taking off running at me full speed. He jumps into the air with his blonde locks flying back off his face looking more eager to land a hit. He tries to knee me in my chest, I bring up my arms crossing them into an X blocking his attempt. I jump to my left knowing he is going to try to land a punch with me using my hands to block.

"Alright class," says Aizawa slowly. "That's enough." I relaxed my muscles slightly still on edge of survival from my one on one with Kaminari. I don't like to let my guard down completely because you never know what is going to happen.

"Damnit," hissed Kaminari. "I was so close."

"Sure you were," I reply straightening up my gym shirt before shoving my hands in my pockets. We're in our 3rd year and now learning to prefect our hand to hand combat. I'm looking more forward to using the hand to hand combat with my quirk. I have been training since I was young. It is clear that my skills are above most of my classmates thus far despite some of them being naturals when it comes to combat.

"Hit the showers," says Aizawa. "I'll meet you all in the classroom in 30 minutes."

"I need longer than 30 minutes to clean this beautiful body," states Aoyama with a wink. Aizawa looks unmoved.

"You will make it work," he states. "Be thankful I'm allowing you to shower at all." Aizawa turns and walks away without another word.

"I guess I could try," he says rolling his eyes as we make our way to the dorms. I get glance at Hagakure and Ashido talking. Ashido pink skin appears to be glowing today. They do look like they're up to something despite me not being able to see Hagakure due to her invisibility quirk. I wonder if they are trying to plan another party. I would not be in attendance no matter how much they beg me. I make my way quickly to our dorm building more than ready to get the rest of the school day over with. I beat the rest of my classmates as they're walking slower and chit chatting along the way. I get to my room loading up everything I need for a successful shower. I head into the bathroom and I smack someone with the door.

"Owww…," I instantly feel bad looking down at Midoriya. I didn't expect him to be the first in here. He is sitting on the floor holding his head with his left hand as his right hand is gripping his towel, I can still see his green hair lightly damp from combat training. My eyes travel to his legs peeking out from under the towel with one leg playing peak a boo more than the other. I know my eyes are lingering more than they should.

"Why are standing in front of the door?" I asked looking down at him. It took me a minute to gather myself, I hope he didn't notice.

"I wasn't," he replied rubbing his head. "I forgot my washcloth and I was going back to get it." He stands up carefully but almost losing control of the towel causing my eyes to go wide. He blushes as he makes his way past me. Damn I didn't get a chance to tell him I was sorry. I was too busy directing blame instead. I wonder if he was thinking about what happened at the party. I head to the stall that I usually take. I can hear my other peers piling into the shower room quickly. I start with my body first before focusing on my hair.

"Hey Icey hot," yelled Bakugou. "Heard Socket boy almost creamed you today."

"Yeah sure," I reply not wanting to fight with him right now. This pale blonde hair idiot is constantly scowling and treating everyone in class as if they are enemy number 1. The main person he gets along with is Kirishima. I think it is because Kirishima knows how to balance out Bakugou and his nonsense.

"What's your damn problem?" he asked getting in the stall next to me. I groan not wanting to deal with his shit today.

"I'm good," I replied. "You need to worry about how Shoji keeps kicking your ass."

"Fuck you," Bakagou hissed. That will keep him quiet for a while. I go back to washing up thinking how I haven't been the same since the party my classmates had a few weeks. I don't see how some of them can walk around like it never happened. I'm trying to but it's starting to affect me. I think back to that Friday afternoon when things got crazy.

***FLASHBACK***

I'm a little disappoint that we're in our 3rd year. I have done more growing in the past two years at Yuei than at my own home. I snort to myself as I begin to think about the summer months of dealing with my dad's shit. Lucky for me that is months away from now. Our last class just ended and I headed to my room for the evening.

"Todoroki!" called Ojiro. I stop walking and turn around. He jogging over to me holding his tail. His upper body has got to be strong, carrying it around looks tiring, not that he has a choice. "Sorry I know you have things to do but I was wondering if you would be going to the dorm party."

"Dorm party?" I question.

"Yeah," says Mineta causing me to look down. "I'm so excited! There is going to be alcohol too!"

"That's stupid," I replied. "We're going to get caught."

"Don't worry about that," said Tokoyami. "We worked everything out. The party is on the 5th floor, less chance of getting caught." At least they are trying to be being smart about it.

"I'm surprised you're entertaining this Tokoyami," I state looking at his eagle head, eyes fiercer than ever.

"I'm more interested in the booze over conversation," he states. "Don't get any ideas."

"I don't really do parties," I state as I continue to walk. I'm not trying to be rude but partying is the last thing on my mind. I get to my room heading to the left side to sit my bag down on my desk. I take a deep breath as I try to decide if I want to relax or do some small training. I'm currently trying to decide if I want to be a hero or not but that doesn't mean I'm going to slack on my studies. Being a hero is what most kids with quirks dream of but then again, they don't have a dad like mine.

I decide to get a head start on my homework and then train while they are having their little party. I change out of my school uniform putting on some regular clothes. I put on some sweats and tee, nothing special. I can also train easier in these clothes. I lose track of time but I know for a fact the party is starting as it becomes louder outside my door. It's not long before I hear a bang on my door after some time dragging me out of my studies.

"Todoroki, what are you doing in there!" yelled Kaminari. I get up from my seat on the floor and walk over opening my door.

"You're too loud," I tell him. "I was studying."

"Seriously?' he questions. I notice the drink in his hand right away. "We busted our asses this year come relax a little."

"We have only been in classes for 7 weeks," I replied folding my arms. "I can relax during winter break."

"Don't be that way," said Sero. "Come on just for a little bit."

"Fine," I said knowing they are going to keep asking. "Just a little bit." I head into the hall and I can see my all my classmates are in the hall. Jiro is playing music from a speaker she brought from her room. It certainly looks like your typical high school party I assume. I see Kaminari start to bob his head.

"Jiro has excellent taste in music," he states.

"I agree," says Sero. "Let's get Todoroki something to drink."

"I said I would stay a while I said nothing about drinking," I inform him.

"You can't not have one," pouts Kaminari. "If it is anyone who deserves a drink it is you." I follow them to the empty room where drinks are being held. Not all of the rooms on this floor are being used since this side is for the girls. We have more guys in the class than girls. I clearly remember Mineta bitching about that our 1st year. I decide one drink wouldn't hurt. I look at the drink select which is not much. I wasn't expecting it to be since they had to sneak it in. I frown as I try to figure out what I want. I finally decide to go with fruit punch and vodka.

Once I have my drink in my hand I lean against the wall and slowly watch as my classmates get a little out of control. I'm surprised to Bakugou actually showed up. He listening to whatever it is Kirishima is talking about. My drink is slowly making its way into my system causing me to relax more. I continue to scan over the room and I see Uraraka, Asui, and Midoriya together. They are actually dancing and full of smiles.

"You want to dance?" asked Sero.

"No," I replied quickly. I watch as Sero and Kaminari share a look. They both grab me and start pulling me towards the floor. "Wait, I can't dance."

"It's not rocky science," stated Kaminari. "No excuses." Kaminari shoves me a little too hard and sends me flying in Midoriya's back. The alcohol has already begun to slow down my reflects. I can feel Midoriya freeze up while Uraraka and Asui let out some little squeals of surprise from my presence. My hands instantly go around his small waist to steady myself as I stand up. I can't help but take in his scent with my face being so close to his body, he smells so good. I wonder did he shower before the party, he had to, to smell this good. I almost want to bury my face into his hair and just smell him so more. I stand up shaking away the weird thoughts. I finally allow my hands to release him.

"Sorry," I muttered refusing to let my embarrassment show. Uraraka gives me that warm smile she always does as she adjusts her bangs.

"Why don't you dance with us Todoroki?" asked Uraraka.

"I don't really…"

"It's fine," said Asui cutting me off. "None of us are skill dancers, this is just for fun." She begins to smile before moving her feet and hands to the music. Midoriya is looking at me with a small shy smile. I look back over at Kaminari and Sero and they are grinning and giving me a thumbs up, I don't know what the hell for. I sigh as I slowly begin to move my arms, I don't really know if I'm even doing this right.

"You're doing fine," stated Midoriya as if he could read my mind. He takes my hand making me feel more comfortable and willing to dance. I notice his hands are little damp. "Try moving your feet a little." I look down and Midoriya giggles causing me to look back up. "Don't look down."

"I need to make sure I'm doing this right," I hiss taking my hand back. I find myself missing his touch just slightly. I'm the best at everything I do and dancing will not be the exception.

"You're thinking too hard about it," stated Uraraka leaning into our space.

"You have to relax," adds Asui. "There are no rules to dancing."

"Besides we're your friends," said Midoriya looking me in the eye. "We would never make fun of you." I listen to the current song that is pumping through the speakers. I allow the music to take me. I start moving my feet and soon my head is moving too. I find myself moving in bigger movements as I closed my eyes to try to feel the music out. I feel a damp hand take mine and Midoriya scent begins to feel my nose. "You almost bumped into Sato." His breath is hot on my skin, I feel this tingling in my bones causing me to open my eyes.

"I knew you could do it!" exclaimed Uraraka.

"I'm going to go get something to drink," I say quickly walking away. What's wrong with me? I make it to the table pouring myself a cup very slightly shaky as Kirishima is also fixing something to drink.

"This was a great idea," he states while smiling.

"If you say so," I reply.

"Looks like you're having a good time though," said Kirishima adjusting a bright red hair strain trying to fall out of place. Most likely due to the heat all the bodies in this hallway is creating.

"I'm getting there," I add.

"What? You not drunk enough," said Bakugou jumping into the conversation.

"I don't have to be drunk to have a good time," I say flatly before taking a sip.

"I saw you getting all cozy with Deku," said Bakugou.

"Bakugou," pleaded Kirishima. "Leave it alone."

"I'm only stating facts," said Bakagou. "If he wants to be all up that guy's ass that's his business but I can say what I fucking want to."

"Until you can beat me in a fight, you can't say shit," I tell him knowing it is going to piss him off.

"What the fuck did you say!" hissed Bakagou blowing up his cup.

"Baku no!" said Kirishima grabbing him but Bakagou slaps his hand away.

"We can do this right now if you want!" snapped Bakagou. "You think you're better than me, come on then!"

"Don't test me right now," I snarled at him not wanting to deal with his shit. I take a sip from my drink while Hagakure is yelling about the carpet. Kirishima steps in between us and I walk back over to Kaminari and Sero.

"Well," said Sero looking at me. "Looks like you made a new best friend." They chuckle lightly as we watch Kirishima talk to Bakagou. Ashido comes skipping down the hall looking a little to happy in my opinion for it to just alcohol.

"Weren't you dancing?" asked Kaminari.

"Was," I correct sipping from my cup. Kaminari and Sero are talking about some movie they want to see. I'm not really listening as I watch the party in front of my eyes. Midoriya shoots me a glance here and there and I avert my eyes every single time. I can't handle looking at him right now, not sure the reason and I don't care. It's not like I hate him or anything. Things are going well and then Ashido just had to open her mouth.

"Let's make this more interesting," says Ashido loudly talking over the music. Jiro lowers the music enough for us to hear Ashido speak. She looks around as if she is building up anticipation.

"Oh god," says Uraraka fearing the worst. "What are you thinking?" Ashido looks sneaky so I know she is about to pull something out of her sleeve.

"7 minutes in heaven," she says with this gleam in her eye.
