Superotaku: Hello and salutations! I just wanted to make a quick note for those of you who arn't familiar with very much Japanese linguistics. Usagi means rabbit or bunny.

Izuko: What does that have to do with anything?

Todoroki: Nothing. Nothing at all.

Izuko: Todokun, are you hiding something from me?

Todoroki: No.

Iuko: Then why won't you look at me? Look at me an tell me that it has nothing to with this story.

Todoroki: Bunny undies has nothing to do with the story.

Izuko: WHAT!

SuperOtaku: Anyway on with the show!


"Hey! Wait for us!"

Kirishima's voice cut through the air like a knife through hot butter getting both Midoriya and Todoroki's attention. As they turned around expecting to see Kirishima coming, they were more then surprised to find that it wasn't just him. In fact he was being tailed by Ochako, Mineta, and Iida! The sight of all four of them together was enough to make both Midoriya and Todoroki look at each other in confusion before Todoroki grinned saying

"Hey, don't look at me. The're your friends."

Todoroki still felt a vise grip wrap around his heart at the look of shock on Midoriya's face at that comment. She had mentioned how she hadn't really had friends to text growing up, but he'd just been assuming she'd meant they didn't have cell phones, or even she herself hadn't had one, but this was just wrong. She didn't believe anyone could be her friends ever. As the group finally caught up the cacophony of voices that erupted from them was near head splitting before Iida took charge.

"Everyone lower your voices! This is no way for students of UA to behave!"

Both Todoroki and Midoriya let out a sigh of relief as everyone apologized practically in unison for overwhelming them. Ochako was the first to speak up after that, practically brimming with excitement.

"So Deku! How long have you and Todoroki been a thing?"

Todoroki's eye's went wide when he heard Ochaco say deku. He had heard that kid Bakugo call Midoriya that earlier but he'd never heard anyone else refer to her that way. Was it some sort of nick name that he'd been left out on? When he turned to look at Midoriya however a whole new thought process started.

"D-Deku?"

Kirishima cocked his head to the side quizzically at her response to that name.

"Yeah bro! That's your name right? Isn't that what that Bakugo dude was calling you earlier?"

No one really noticed when Midoriya flinched at Bakugo's name. No one except Todoroki of course.

"Oh, y-yeah. . . D-Deku. That's m-more of a n-nickname k-kachaan g-gave me when w-we were kids to m-make fun of m-me."

Todoroki noticed the way she was slowly cringing into herself as she spoke. Iida on the other hand was too distracted by the fact that his fellow class mate had been bullied by another fellow class mate in such a crude way and he voiced it such. Ochako was mumbling apologies for bringing it up while Krishima clenched a fist in front of his face grumbling about how unmanly that was. That's when Todoroki remembered something. Something a little inappropriate given the moment, but it also opened the door for the perfect segway into what Todoroki could only hope could lead to better memories. Stepping up beside Midoriya he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her gently into his side smiling down at her saying

"You know. I really don't understand that nickname. Quite frankly a better nickname for you would be something like Usagi. After all. Your small, your cute, your smart, and quite frankly I think your pretty lucky."

The moment the words left his mouth the whole group went quiet. Kirishima Was once again, fist clenched tightly in front of his face, muttering about how manly Todoroki was for saving the moment. Ochako was blushing furiously, and shit so was Iida. Meanwhile Mineta was giving him a fucking thumbs up for some reason as if he was in on something and at that he decided to deal with the grape headed squirt later. But nothing could have prepared him for the look on Midoriya's face. She was staring up at him with the most sugary sweet smile on her face that he was pretty sure his body had started fighting on whether to give him diabetes or an erection.

"Usagi it is then."

The soft tone of her voice snapped all of them out of there thought's as they all looked at her, smiling up at Todoroki with such gratitude and tenderness. It was so sweet that it made all of them smile. No one said anything at that moment. They just let Midoriya and Todoroki have there moment before Midoriya broke it. As she turned to the others she smiled but it wasn't the same smile she'd given Todoroki and he was Silently thankful.

"So, uhm, did you guys need me for something?"

Mineta lept up into view at that point his feet flailing at what looked t be mach 20 as he shouted.

"We just wanted to walk to the station with our new friend!"

Kirishima chucled at Mineta patting him on the head at his enthusiasm

"Whoa, whoa there buddy. We don't even know if she's . . . I mean they're heading to the station."

Midoriya was speechless at that and Todoroki already knew it would take a few seconds for her brain to process it so he took the lead this time opting to let them down easy.

"Normally we would be but we actually have other plans. We were . . ."

Todoroki was going to avoid calling it a date to avoid embarrassing Midoriya but before he could even finish his sentence she was talking over him talking enthusiastically.

"Todoroki is taking me out on a date! I'm kind of nervous because I've never been on a date before but I'm also really excited and I probably shouldn't be saying all of this out loud should I and I'm still talking aren't I I should really stop talking why haven't I stopped talking it's probably jut nerves or maybe . . ."

Midoriya let out a little squeak as her ramble was cut off as Todoroki leaned over and gave her short chaste kiss. He smiled at her softly before looking at the rest of the group saying

"Well what she said."

By then the whole group was either blushing or grinning from ear to ear. They quickly said their goodbyes and parted before however, Kirishima and Ochaco of course pulled Midoriya aside and offered her advice on her first ever date and wished good luck. Iida on the other hand had pulled Todoroki aside and strictly told him to treat her with the utter most respect. On the opposite end end of the spectrum Mineta had pulled him aside and wished him good luck on 'getting lucky' before throwing in a quick comment about pictures or it didn't happen.

At the end they parted ways with Midoriya asking Todoroki why he'd frozen Mineta in place. He'd given her some half assed excuse about how Mineta had been really hot after the day they'd had and wanted him too. In the end she believed him and left it at that. It wasn't until they were passing the station that she looked up at him curiously.

"Uhm Todoroki?"

"Hmm?"

"Uhm, I was just wondering. Where exactly does someone go on a date?"

Todoroki had to force the smile on his face a he looked down at Midoriya now. He didn't really have any experience with actual dating persay, but his father had forced him to learn the art of courting. So he had a good enough idea.

"Well, considering it is only our first date. I was wondering. Have you ever been to the fair before?"

Midoriya's eyes went wide at his question as she practically began bouncing with excitement.

"Really! Oh my god! I've only ever been once! My mom took me the same day we . . ."

In just seconds Midoriya's energy seemed to dissipate as she remembered how the last time she'd gone to the fair, she'd only shortly after received the worst news of her life. After that her mother always associated fair's with that day, so she never took her again. Todoroki of course had noticed the sudden change in Midoriya's mood and nudged her just enough to snap her out of he own thought's.

"You ok Usagi?"

Midoriya's face lit up at the use of her new nickname and Todoroki couldn't help but return it.

"Yeah sorry, my mind just wandered. I'd love to go to the fair!"

Todoroki had wanted to press the topic but left it for later. As many questions as he already had, he figured this one could wait as well.


It was only an hour walk with Todoroki stopping to withdraw some money from his family account, Midoriya of course protested to it but finally relented when Todoroki told her he wanted the money so that he could make sure the date went well. When they finally did arrive however Midoriya's eyes went so wide Todoroki was almost worried they might shoot out of her skull. After they got their tickets and made it past the gates Todoroki grabbed a pair of maps and handing one to Midoriya. As they both looked over the maps Midoriya's eyes went wide again and she couldn't fight the smile on her face as she tried to decide on what she wanted to do first. Arcade games? Bumper cars?

Todoroki of course had already begun planning out the most efficient rout through the fair to hit everything when he looked up from his map to see she was staring wide eye'd muttering to herself trying desperately to decide on something to do. This only caused him to chuckle, which easily caught her attention snapping her out of her stupor, and when she looked up to see she was the target of his laughter she felt the familiar sting of Junior High when Bakugo would call her out for her mutterings. Todoroki watched as her shoulders slumped and her eye's dropped to the ground and as she muttered out an apology regret course through him. He didn't know what caused that reaction but he didn't care. This was her first date, and he'd be dammed if he let anything ruin it. Closing the distance between the two, he pulled her to him and reached out to gently lift her chin until she was looking up at him. As he looked into her eye's he smiled and spoke softly/

"Hey. What's wrong?"

She tried to force a smile but the longer she held his gaze the harder it became, until eventually she couldn't bring herself to smile at all as she thought about what it was that had actually upset her. She was so sure he was making fun of her muttering but then when he looked at her like that it shook everything she knew about herself and others. She was used to her muttering being a running joke. Used to other's making fun of her for her. So when she'd heard him laughing at her she knew he was making fun of her, or at least she'd thought he was. Now she wasn't sure.

"It's just. Back before I got into UA. Back at my old school. I wasn't very popular. I just . . ." She hesitated for a moment looking away from him but when she looked back up into his eye's again and she saw the look in his eye's she felt the urge to tell him." I've always muttered to myself. And Kachaan used that to get the rest of the kids wherever I went to make fun of me so . . . so when I heard you laughing. I thought you were making fun of me."

Todoroki's eyes widened at that revelation and looking back he realized, while he'd always smiled when she muttered, he'd never vocalized his enjoyment of it. So now hearing him laugh at her excited muttering on her first date. It must have hurt so much. Todoroki pulled her into a strong hug and as he rested his chin on her head he took a calming breath to push aside the growing hatred for Bakugo aside.

"Usagi. I love it when you mutter. I think it's adorable. . . ." He pulled out of the hug and looked down at her smiling reassuringly before continuing " . . . and I will never make fun of you for that or anything. Well not unless I'm trying to make you laugh. Is that clear?"

She stared up at him with those emerald doe eyes of her's, overwhelmed by what she'd just heard and Todoroki could swear, the smile she gave him at that was so bright he was sure he'd go blind, and when he didn't all he could do was smile back.

"Now that aside, I figured we could start at the arcade first. Sound good?"


The rest of the date went off without a hitch. At the arcade Midoriya showed her superior brain power and practically killed ever high score at every cabinet in the tent, leaving the Arcade manager impressed and more then a few kids and parents upset that they no longer had shots at high scores. When it came to the bumper cars they opted for a shared car, which Midoriya was thankful for when Todoroki's arm wrapped around her waist protectively to keep her from jostling to much. Todoroki's favorite part was the roller-coaster's, and not because Midoriya held his hand the whole time out of fear. He also loved how she would always say after every ride 'That was fun! Let's go again!'.

It wasn't until it got late that things got interesting though. As the sun began to set, and the lights skittered to life, Midoriya stopped in her tracks as she stared bright eyed at how the light's accentuated every odd angle and beam. Todoroki, had silently taken the time to slip his phone out and snap a quick photo of her in her amazed stupor before slipping it back into his pocket. When she finally turned to look at him, smiling from ear to ear, his heart skipped a beat. Todoroki had seen beauty. He'd seen sexy. He'd seen cute. The girls in his class, were some. Those on TV and the internet where of the many. But then right here, right now. Standing right before him, amidst the glow of the lights dotting the fair, smiling at him. No one else. Just him, and in that moment he knew. He'd fallen in love with an angel.

Meanwhile Midoriya was happy. Happier then she could remember being in a long time. Here she was staring into the starlight eternal, surrounded by a million glimmering lights, on a date with the first boy who had ever taken a chance on her. And then she turned and looked at him, and her heart broke through the sky and into the heavens. The look on Todoroki's face as he just stared at her smiling. It was just perfect, and even if it didn't last she would cherish that feeling he gave her for the rest of her life, because right then and there, she felt like her goals weren't a far off dream, but instead an upcoming reality. Right then she felt as though she could accomplish anything. Right then she knew, she'd fallen in love.

Todoroki had one last thing he wanted to show Midoriya before he took her home for the night and now was the perfect time. He didn't waste any either as he made his way back to her and laced a hand with hers smiling as he did so before pointing off in the distance saying

"I was wondering if you wanted to ride the ferris wheel with me?"

Midoriya looked off in the distance too see where he was pointing too see a gargantuan wheel with a multitude of two seat cabins in them and back to Todoroki who only smiled back in return.


So here they were. Alone. Sitting in a box. Suspended 180 meter's in the air. Midoriya was so stunned at the view of course that she didn't even notice when the ferris wheel stopped moving. She just sat there staring wide eyed like a kid out the window. Todoroki just sat back and smiled. While he knew most boy's his age would have expected more from being alone on a ferris wheel with a date. He was just happy with seeing that look on her face. That was enough for him. So as the minutes ticked by Todoroki enjoyed his view, and Midoriya enjoyed her's.

After a while Midoriya grew tired of the view and her eyes drifted to Todoroki, and when she saw him just sitting there watching her, a cheeky smile on his face, she couldn't stop the little squeak that escaped her lips as she jumped in her seat. Her face turned red and her eyes darted to the side, but they couldn't stay away from Todoroki for long before eventually roaming back to match his intense gaze. As their eyes locked Midoriya's breath hitched and she finally noticed he was blushing too. As they sat there staring at each other, smiling like idiots, the image of Todoroki kissing her flashed through Midoriya's head and her face visibly reddened. Todoroki of course only chuckled at the sight of his dates increasingly intense blush.

"Uhm, Todorokikun? Why did you kiss me earlier?"

The question was so sudden Todoroki thought his head was going to go haywire. It took him a few moments of mental sputtering before he managed to gain his wits back enough to reply.

"Well. I guess, it's because I wanted to. And because I like you."

Todoroki's response didn't garner the response he had been expecting though, because instead of blushing furiously or at least looking away from him to hide some sort of embarrassment. She instead just seemed to be lost in thought, and then as sudden as the question she was closing the gap between them in the small little box. Midoriya leaned in closer and closer, placing her hands on his shoulders to brace herself, until her face hovered over his. Midorya's eyes locked with his and he could see the trepidation in them, but there was something else he couldn't quite place. Before he could say a word or even ask her about it though she leaned in the rest of the way closing her eye's and pressed her lips to his. Todoroki's eyes went wide for a moment before his' too slowly closed and his hands reached up to brace her hips as he kissed her back. The kiss may have only lasted a minute but when their lips parted, they were both breathless. She was smiling bashfully at him, and he just had to return it saying

"What was that for?"

"Because I wanted too . . . and because I like you too."


SuperOtaku: Woo is it getting hot in here or is it just me! I don't know about you guys but I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter. I spent all day reworking it and rewriting it, and to be frank I don't think I could have done much better.

Mineta: I think you did great!

Asui: Your just saying that because Todoroki and Usagi made out in a ferris wheel, ribbit.

Kirishima: Yeah! Buuuut I gotta admit, it was pretty cute.

Izuko: Guys! Come on!

Ochako: Ahhhh! Look guys! She's blushing!

Aoyama: Yes yes, and don't forget to follow! Adieu!
