Lunch was as boring as ever. Just like the first day, I sat down by myself...well...kinda by myself. Todoroki sat down approximately three seats from my spot. It's something that I guess we will be doing from now on. We never really talk during lunch but sometimes on the way to our next class we would have a little chit chat.

As always, I had my earbuds in, blurring out the world around me. It was a constant headache to be around Yuuei. The kids where loud, superpowers are constantly being thrown around, and honestly everything is hetic all the time.

I ran my hand through my hair, tossing it over my shoulder. My hair has become slightly longer since the summer, reaching nearly the same length as under my shoulder blades. I was thinking about cutting it but I never really found the time to do it.

I was playing a game on my phone, trying my best to hit every note on the screen when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up, after pausing my game, to see Todoroki staring down at me with his mix-match eyes. "Yes?" I asked, trying to keep my annoyed tone out of my voice.

"There's an emergency going on. You've been ignoring the alarms." I blinked at him only to realize that there was a flashing red light and the sound of students flooded out of the building.

I stood up from my seat, forgetting the half eaten food on the table. Thousands of students where pushing their way towards the exit, not even caring for who they hit. It looked like a mad house.

"We can't just stand here, Matsumoto-san. We have to evacuate the building." I looked at him and then back at the crowd.

"How the hell are we going to get through that?" I couldn't even describe the madness that was going on in that hallway. All grades and classes where there, pushing and knocking each other down in an instant. There was no order.

"We'll get through it." Todoroki calmly stated before marching off into the crowd. Seeing as we where the very last people to leave the cafeteria, I felt a little stupid if I just sat back down and continued to play my game.

Determined not to be left behind, I jogged up to Todoroki and clutched onto the sleeve of his jacket. His eyes slowly trailed down to my hand but didn't question anything. After that I felt a little stupid as redness took over my cheeks. "Just so we don't get split apart," I clarified with a little pouty look.

"Mhm," was all he mumbled back. Once I got over myself and embarrassment, we had entered the sea of students. Immediately, shouting had clouded my hearing and elbows where flying. I got a couple jabs towards my torso as well as my face as Todoroki had tried to push our way through the crowd.

I couldn't spot any familiar faces in the crowd as desperately as I looked. There was too many faces and not enough room. I clutched onto Todoroki harder, making sure I wouldn't lose the only life line I had.

"What's going on?!" I shouted above the chaos.

"..." something came from the boys mouth. But his soft voice made it nearly impossible to hear what he said.

"What?!" I yelled again. "I can't hear you!"

He turned around to look me in the eyes. "I have no idea." He bluntly stated.

I awkwardly sweatdropped at his bluntness as we stopped in the raging crowd. There was no use. There was too many people. "What do we do?" I could feel myself from becoming overwhelmed. I don't do well in crowds...I couldn't stand the closeness between myself and other people.

Sweat had started to trickle down my neck and I accidentally let go of Todoroki's sleeve. In that same instance, someone had knocked into me, causing my whole body to lerch forwards and knock into the poor unsuspecting boy. Luckily with his quick reflexes, he caught himself and me before we had the chance to fall onto the hard unforgiving ground.

"It's too crazy in here," he muttered above me. His arms where around my waist and my head was resting between the crock of his neck.

Heat radiated from my cheeks as he held me like this for longer than necessary. "You know...you could let go now..." I mumbled, burying my face into his uniform out of pure embarrassment.

"...it would be easier this was to stay together." He paused. "Unless this is too uncomfortable for you?"

"No!" I quickly squeaked. "Not at all!"

There was no other response from the boy. However, I couldn't stop the rapid beating that was thumping against my chest. Why is my heart beating so fast? I've been close to a couple boys like this in my life. Katsuki and Izuku-kun and I've shared close hugs before...but I never experienced something like this before.

The unending mass of bodies was starting to suffocate me. I can't stand being so close to all these strangers. At this point, sweat had covered my whole face and I could feel my arms shaking around Todoroki's waist.

"Is...is something the manner? Are you sure you're fine?" He asked, in a somewhat caring tone.

"Y...yeah it's n-not you..." I muttered, trying to get someone's elbow off of my shoulder. Despite my pushing, it wasn't until Todoroki intervened and pushed the stranger off of me.

"Are you claustrophobic?"

Damn, he hit the nail on the head.

"Um, maybe?"

At that same moment, a flying body had hit into us, nearly knocking us over once again. When the person hit into me, I let out a high pitch shriek which almost no one reacted to.

Todoroki automatically responded by pushing the student off of me and tucking my body under him more. "Okay, more than maybe. I'm fucking scared shitless."

I buried my head into his side, not really caring that there was a possibility of someone seeing us in this...suggestive position. My fears had started to consume me and I couldn't stand it anymore.

"I'll get you out of here...okay?" I heard the boy whisper. His breath hit the side of my cheek making a shiver go through out my body.

When I looked up at him, however, instead of looking up into his round face, a figure had flew above us which caught my attention more. "Hey, Todoroki?" He already looked up before I said anything though. "Isn't that Iida?"

At that moment, that boy had slammed into the exit sign, in a position that states "I JUST GOT MURDERED!" I almost started to break off laughing until Iida had started to talk.

"Everyone, calm down!" He yelled out with so much authority in his voice that it forced all the chaos to come to a sudden stop. "It's just the press! There's nothing to worry about! It's okay!" He kept on reassuring. Those damn people from earlier?

I peaked from behind Todoroki's brute and muscular arms to see that there was indeed a mob of news reporters outside. I also spotted a few teachers that seemed to have reached their limits with these people. Aka, my home room teacher who looked nothing more than glad to throw them off school grounds.

I looked up at Todoroki who was already looking down at me. "Are you better now?" He softy asked.

I didn't notice that my shaking had calmed down slightly but there was still an uneasy feeling settling in my stomach. "Y-yeah...thank you."

After Iida conducted a little speech of how he believed we should of handled the situation, everyone started to orderly go to their classes.

I still clung onto Todoroki as we slowly walked among the other students. It felt like this awkward silence was settling down onto my shoulders and weighing them down, lower and lower. "It's a good thing Iida came when he did, huh?" I attempted to make small talk.

"Mm..." he responded, not really paying attention to what I was saying. I faked comical tears at his response. He really is lost in his own world, huh?

After a while, I detached myself from his side as more and more people began to disappear into their respective classrooms. After a while, there was only a couple people in the hallway walking with us.

"I want to thank you, Todoroki." I paused to make sure he was actually listening to me. When I looked up at him, our eyes met immediately. "If you weren't there for me, I'm not sure what would of happened. So I wanted to thank you." I stopped in front of him and bowed several times.

"I...it's ok you don't need to bow." His soft voice spoke up. "We are classmates, after all."

I stood straight and smiled at him. "You're very kind, you know that?"

It seemed my words had hit a nerve as a little pink blush had spread across his cheeks and he shyly rubbed the back of his neck. "Don't say that-"

"But it's true!" I cut him off as we continued to walk side by side. "You where super cool back there and helped me a lot! I'm in your debt...let me do something nice for you." He kept on looking at me from a side glance but I'd didn't mind.

I put my finger on my chin and thought what I could do for him. I don't really know what he likes to do nor what he's interested in. "Umm...I can take you to a good place for lunch on the weekend?"

I looked up at him but it seemed he was lost in thought. I started to feel stupid for saying something like that. We barley hang out on a regular basis, why would he want to hang on just for fun? Stupid Katsumi, stupid!

"Or...um if you don't want t-"

"No, that's fine." He quickly cut me off. He wasn't looking at me but I gave him a closed eye smile.

"Alright, I'll text you the address later...I need your number actually." I let out a light chuckle as the boy sighed but pulled out his phone quickly and passed me it.

I chuckled softly as I put my name in as "Katsu~chan" but he didn't seem to mind as he just shoved his phone back into his pocket.

"It's a good restaurant...I swear." I reassured him as we approached the 1-A door. I chuckled lightly when he passed me a slight frown. "I pinky promise!"

His face went automatically blank as I stuck out my finger for him to wrap his around. We stood in an awkward silence for a moment before I huffed. "Todoroki, give me your pinky. For crying it loud..."

The boy seemed momentarily confused before slowly lifting up his hand. I rolled my eyes and grabbed his hand and linking out pinkies together. My finger was nearly four times smaller than his but I didn't comment before letting go. "See it wasn't that hard!"

"There was no point in it though..."

"You think too logically Todoroki..."
