[Foreword: This is a Fem!Todoroki AU, so don't be surprised by that. This IS my first fic, so sorry for any awkward sentences and such. If you're looking for some cool fight scenes, there might not be any, sooo... yep. The storyline mostly revolves around something non-actiony. Mostly fluff, nothing bad. Anyways, off to the story!]
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"Hm? Do you need something, Midoriya?"
I look up to see the green haired boy, and I feel a twinge of nervousness. I immediately shove it down, annoyed as hell. My mind is a torrent of words and thoughts, and I scream internally for it to SHUT UP. I keep my face neutral though, not letting him know my inner struggles.
He blinks, and looks around. He seems to be embarrassed, but I have no idea why. Midoriya scratches the back of his neck, and I hear him mutter to himself, "Why DID I come over here? Class is over and I should be studying for the exams next week but yet I came over here anyways what am I trying to accomplish-"
He goes on like that for a full minute, and I just look at him. I finally notice that he's lost in his head again, staring at nothing while talking to himself, and I heave an exasperated sigh. I start snapping my fingers in his face.
"Earth to Midoriya? You're muttering again." His eyes snap further open, as if fully realizing where he was. His face turns red, and he throws his hands up to cover his face. An involuntary smile tugs at my lips. Midoriya's stammering apologies, and turns to leave. Why was he about to leave? Why did he come over to my desk in the first place?
Before he could disappear, though, I abruptly ask, "Hey! Do you want to study for the exams together?" It leaves my mouth before I could stop it, and while my face may appear neutral on the surface, on the inside I was freaking out. Why did I say that?!? I didn't need any help studying, and neither did he! I was about to retract my offer, when he surprises me. Midoriya whips around and looks at me with his shining green eyes. Then, presumably recovering from shock, gives me the brightest smile I've ever seen. "Oh, uh, sure Todoroki! How about this weekend, in the commons?" I nod, and say, "Sounds good" And thus, this Tuesday, I've sealed my fate.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
...I'm about to have a panic attack.
Well, not about to- I AM having a panic attack. I'm lying on my bed with a pillow over my face, trying to hide from every life decision I've ever made. Why did I offer that?!? What are we even going to be studying?!? I try to think up a list of subjects, then look at my bedside clock and realize it's time to get up for another day at UA. Today's Friday, a day before the weekend, and I think I'm going to pass out from anticipation.
Of course, I don't tell anyone that.
If anything, I look calm and collected, if a bit unemotional, as always. No one's going to notice that on the inside, my stomach is churning waves. At least, I hope not.
I turn off my alarm before it could start beeping, and change into my uniform. I grin to myself when I think of Midoriya's tie struggle. If only I could teach him how to tie it properly... Alas, I have no idea how to bring it up, so...
Slipping on my shoes, I trudge down from my room on the second floor, hoping with all my heart that I could manage breakfast. I step into the dorm's common room, to find it as it usually is- chaotic. Bakugo and Kirishima were brawling indoors. AGAIN. I see explosions, and I hear demented laughter from the red head, and the repeated words, "DIE" by the short-tempered blonde. Iida, I can tell, is frustrated beyond anything, because he can't stop them. Mineta and Kaminari are in the corner of the room, gesturing expressively and talking about- you know what, better that I don't guess. Uraraka and Momo are sitting on the couch, seemingly undisturbed by the explosions, absorbed in their conversation. I scan the rest of the room, only noting the absence of Midoriya.
Strange. Izuku Midoriya is a punctual person. He's never skipped class, except when he had such a bad fever he could barely lift his head, or when he broke almost every bone in his body and passed out from the strain. Even then he asked for his makeup work when we all came back to check on him.
I frown, and scan a second time to make sure. I walk up to Iida, and ask him where Midoriya was. Iida looks confused for a second, swiveling his head back and forth to examine the commons, before answering that he had no idea.
"He might still be in his room... hm... I'll go check up on him, and see if he's feeling ill."
I thank Iida, then watch him hurriedly run in the direction of the boy's dorms. I hope that he's alright...
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII[*slight intermission- yes, it'll get better from here. Yes, I already have the story planned out. No, I don't plan on leaving this dead in the water. It'll probably be less than ten chapters, and I WILL FINISH THIS!!! It'll switch between Deku's POV and Todoroki's (don't worry, I'll let you know when I switch). Leave a review if you like it, or if you have any advice on how I can improve my writing skills, or if you just want to speculate! I'll answer any reviews in this little intermission here at the end of each chapter. I'll have the second chapter out probably tomorrow, because I already have it written. Anyways, that's all I have for now. Cheers to anyone who reads this! :-P]
