He had never been great at understanding social cues but they never did have a place on the battle field. After all, his father had sheltered him for most of his life. An intense training schedule and tons of family feuds tended to zap any feelings he could have had of socializing all together. Perhaps that was why he was currently in this predicament in the first place... Pressed against another person, pinning her to a stone wall.

"Todoroki..?"

Shit. What was he doing?

His eyes found hers in an instant, mismatched colors meeting confused stone. Her chest heaved beneath his own as her cheeks developed a rosy color. A few more minutes, perhaps, and her face would be as red as half his hair, as her current attire.

Double shit. They were supposed to be working.

He felt heat creeping up his neck in that moment as his gaze dripped lower on her face to glossy lips tugged into a small o. Were they always that shiny? Could he even think that? He liked to believe they were friends but how could he think that way about a friend? Is that normal..? Do friendships include thinking the other is beautiful?

"Are you okay..?" She lifted a hand as she mumbled, fingers creeping close to his forehead. "You look like you're steaming."

She was right, he realized with a shudder, as her gentle touch brushed across his skin. Embarrassment had always made his left side a bit unstable even after accepting and training that part of him. His eyes widened for a moment before he willed his body to allow her some distance. For some reason, he felt cold once he stepped away from her touch.

Momo continued to gaze at him, however, a swirl of emotion brimming in those dark eyes. How could he be so stupid? To pin her against a wall in the middle of a mission..? Was he trying to get slapped? She was smart, capable, every bit of the hero she had ever hoped to be and instead of him assisting her, he had distracted her. In his defense, they did have to hide but he had never hid the way he just did with her. Caging her body beneath his own, legs brushing against each other as he loomed over her. He hadn't even noticed the position for a couple of minutes. Too preoccupied with their surroundings to realize he was sending the poor girl into an overdrive of blushes and trembles. He supposed it was because he had scared her. After all, who in their right mind would enjoy being shoved against a wall by him? Regardless of being friends, he didn't mean to make her uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry." He breathed out. His eyes landed at her feet, a sheepish blush dusting his cheeks. What else could he say besides sorry? He didn't even understand what to say after that..

"Oh, um, it's fine Todoroki!" the smile she flashed him was small but genuine. "You were just focused on staying out of sight." He supposed that was true. What better way to take up less space than hiding closer together? In hindsight it was a good idea on his part but still... the way her face was enveloped in a bright red hue had to mean she was uncomfortable, right? Maybe he had stepped on her foot or something when he moved them...

"Are you sure?" His voice was soft, curious, childlike. "Did I hurt you? Your face was red. Are you in pain?" His words came out in a jumble and immediately he cursed at his horrible people skills. Way to bombard her with questions, Shouto.

"O-Oh no! You didn't hurt me at all! I was just..." she paused, the rosy hue in her cheeks deepening as the seconds passed by. "Just taken by surprise." Her eyes darted away for a moment, then. If he hadn't been avoiding her face then perhaps he would have seen how her eyes darkened as they glanced over his lips. Or how she was fidgeting in her spot to keep from drifting closer.

"Oh." He sighed at that and turned his head to glance left then right. They still had a job to do and now that he was certain he hadn't hurt her, they could get back to business. His body had subconsciously leaned closer to hers as he continued to take in their surroundings and in his distraction, he hadn't even noticed the shaky breaths on his neck. "Lets finish this." He murmured, glancing back to find her face extremely close to his own. Any closer and his lips would have brushed her own.

Triple shit.

He really did it again..?

She opened her mouth to speak but before she could get any words out, footsteps caught both of their attention. A gasp began to rise from her throat then and the beginning of it was already too much noise for either of them to make. Her hands gripped at his shirt and she yanked him closer, their bodies now firmly pressed together as his lips crashed down to hers.

It wasn't gentle or romantic in the way she had expected her first kiss but it certainly fit them. Momo felt him tense beneath her grip and part of her felt bad for catching him off guard. It was instinct to pull him closer, out of fear that he'd be spotted just for trying to give her some space. Frankly, she had not expected his lips to find hers but maybe it was the way she yanked him... No, he could have avoided it so why didn't he?

He pulled back slightly, soft shallow pants escaping his mouth. The air around them was hotter, perhaps because of how flustered the half-hot half-cold man currently was. She took the opportunity to glance around as he composed himself and her mind took notice of the footsteps getting quieter as they continued further down the hall.

Crisis averted. Nice work, Momo.

She turned her head back to explain to the man clutching at her waist only to find no words coming from her mouth. Instead, a pair of rough lips found hers again and she relaxed against the wall as he leaned further into her. Seconds felt like minutes to the pair of heroes before he broke away first and her eyes fluttered open to find his mismatched eyes gazing into hers.

"I... Sorry..."

She giggled, then, as his cheeks grew red. He sure did look cute when he blushed. Her hands fell to find one of his and with a soft smile, she began to move their bodies toward the direction of those footsteps.

"Don't worry, we'll figure it out later. For now, let's catch these guys so we can get back to that after!"

Shouto had never been good with people. He had never even been used to getting close to anyone nor was he comfortable with physical contact. Yet, as his pretty companion began to lead the way towards their targets, he knew that she was different. Perhaps that was why he didn't mind her hand in his, her body beneath him, her lips pressed against his own. All he knew was he was beginning to look forward to more missions as a hero if it meant he could be closer to her.
