Summary: Surprise me.


Todoroki looked down at the paper as if it had offended him in some manner. Like, slapped his mother, took a shit on his carpet, and then just asked him for a glass of water. Sure, the paper didn't do anything expect exist and sit on the table, but still.

"Do you want to go over it again?"

Midoriya's soft voice rang out again. Todoroki was mindful enough to spare a side-glance at him, although he didn't turn his head. "I would appreciate that, yes."

Midoriya nodded at him (although it was more so for himself). "Okay, look here." He points at a particular section of the paper. "This is the green zone, it's where Manaie found the temple full of rotting copses."

"Right, he monologues about how it was a bastardization of rot." Todoroki may have spoke in a tone of coolheadedness, but he was anything but. He barely understood this shit. Like, what the fuck is this? Why do they have to study this? Ugh, Todoroki hated literature.

Midoriya frowns and Todoroki already knows he gave him the wrong answer. "No, he doesn't monologue, but the narrator does get very descriptive at this point by reminiscing and explains what he was feeling at the moment. And how he feel-and what he thought-as he looked around the zone."

"Oh."

"Yeah. Okay, so, after him and his teammates search the place over, they find…?" It was obvious that Midoriya wanted him to finish the thought, but he scrambled his brain trying to remember what they found.

He doesn't recall what it was concluded as, but he remembers what it was initially. "Bodies?" It was more of a question than an answer.

"You're not wrong, but that's not what I'm talking about." He shyly smiles him. "What did they find in the lab?"

Todoroki scrambles his head again, but he doesn't remember, doesn't recall. "Equipment?"

Midoriya signs. "That's right again, but not what I'm looking for." He pauses to grab his water bottle and take a sip. "They find goop everywhere and human like…" He pauses mid-sentence, looking off to find the right words. "Partially formed bodies?" He gives Todoroki a halfhearted shrug. "Best way I can explain it."

Todoroki just blinks owlishly at him before face planting into the table.

"Sh-sh-shoto!" Midoriya sputtered. "What are you doing?! Don't do that!" He gently pried him from the shoulders off of the table. His eyebrows furrowed. "Is it that hard for you?"

Todoroki sank into Midoriya from, essentially going boneless on him. He groaned into the fabric of the other's shirt. "I can't take this anymore." He whined in a monotonous voice. "Please take me out!"

"Uh, in like, the date kind of way or in the assassination kind of way?"

Todoroki hugged the smaller boy, shifting closer that he's probably gonna fall off his chair at any moment. "Surprise me." And with that he gave him a quick peck to the lips.

Midoriya reddens like a tomato. "Oh. Okay."


A couple of days later finds the young couple walking a trail path in a popular hiking area. Midoriya can't help but finding himself swinging his arm while holding onto Todoroki's hand. Todoroki just smiled at his manner, he found it rather cute. "This is nice." He commented. The scenery was rather was boring, but pretty. A gently gush of wind blew every so often and the clouds were thin today. All in all, a pretty good day to go hiking. Not backtrack hiking, just to walk around a bit. Alone. With each other.

"It really is." Midoriya replied. "I'm just a little disappointed that we haven't spotted any wildlife yet."

"We've seen birds."

"Yeah!" Midoriya lets go of his hand and wipes his sweaty palm on his pant leg. "I just wanted to see something bigger, you know?"

"Quadrupedal?"

He nodded. "Something like that."

"Hmmm, who knows." Todoroki muses. "Maybe we'll see a deer later."

"Oh, I do hope so! I love deer."

Todoroki chuckled at his enthusiasm. A gust of wind blew directly into his face. He stopped in place and scrunched his nose. He attempts to get wherever was irritating his eye out. It takes him a few seconds before he's successful. When he looks back up, he sees that Midoriya is smiling at him. That's nice. That's normal. Though, he also notices that his boyfriend was pointing a silver gun at him. His face drops as does his stomach. Oh God, why was he-? What the-? Why? Why would he do that!? They were on a rather untraversed trail. His blood ran cold and suddenly the coat hugging his frame did nothing to warm him up. "Izuku-"

It is at this moment when he goes to say a statement of betrayal he notices that it's a fucking BB gun. The only thing that gave it away was the texture. Is was made out of plastic not metal.

Midoriya giggles at him, blissfully unaware of the internal turmoil the other had just faced. "I remember two days ago that I had a BB gun, so, I thought I would bring it along! You know, to keep that joke alive from like, last week?" He shows off the faux-gun with glee to his partner. His voice is stuffed with levity as he rambles. "It's Crosman C11! They look pretty real, but honestly they'll more for theatrics. I have some metal BBs pellets…"

He halts mid-sentence when Todoroki puts both hands on his shoulders. "Izuku."

"Um, yes Shoto?"

"Shut up." And with that he kisses the boy on the lips. Effectively silencing him. He'll get him back later for giving him a heart attack.


Look at any other site I postcross my fanfiction on to see the link to the comic that inspired this.

*wheezes* Finally some Tododeku. I keep writing Shindeku. /What's funny is that Tododeku was my OTP, but then Shindeku kicked it out and said: "I live here now." Oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯/
