"Street fight"

"What was that?" Midoriya asked, bewildered.
"I have no idea" Todoroki replied uncertainly.
"Will it be a villain?" Midoriya peeked, wiping his tears with the backs of his hands.
I hope not, Todoroki told himself.
"I don't know" He replied simply. "But whatever it is, we better retire" He suggested, circling Midoriya with his arm, so he would calm down. When they saw him enter, they moved away from the shock.
However the screams grew, and the tumult of people running everywhere, puzzled both men, who lacked little to get out of the mall completely.
Midoriya was the first to react.
"We better deal with this." He turned around, inhaling air, wielding his hands.
"No." He wanted to restrain him, but Midoriya's unquestionable will was greater than his. "We are not professionals"
"A hero enters where no one calls him," he said, looking at him with determination.
Todoroki seeing this, had no choice but to join Midoriya.
"Okay," he said, approving.
He smiled pleased; In that, Midoriya took a red bracelet from his pants pocket and placed it on his wrist.
"What is that?" Todoroki asked, interested.
"It's a gauntlet, it helps to use my power at its highest level" Midoriya replied, starting to devise some strategy. "First, we have to protect people"
"I can do that," he said, pointing to his left side; To this, Midoriya smiled sideways.
"We will try to get people away from danger," he said, starting to run, followed by him, who was looking everywhere for the source of the outbreak.
"I can create a barrier that protects people," Todoroki suggested. "And also reduce damage in the city"
"Perfect!" He winked. "Excellent idea, Todoroki-kun"
Even in disasters, Midoriya always smiled.
Always.
When they reached the origin of the noise, they ran into the villain who destroyed the Christmas stands, causing fires in the premises, driving away people who were possibly happy for the Christmas season before.
Midoriya gasped in realization as he glimpsed the villain, petrified with his mouth open.
"What's wrong, Midoriya?" He asked worriedly.
"It's-it's the slime monster" He articulated, standing with feet apart, arms outstretched, and hands half open.
"Do you know him?"
He nodded slightly.
"He attacked Kacchan" He revealed. "And me too"
"If you've had experience with him," Todoroki assumed. "How do we stop him?"
Midoriya looked at him uncertainly, wrinkling his eyebrows indicating that he was thinking of frenzy, but in what he did the slime monster was faster than them and launched a fierce attack on Midoriya, who flew off towards the building next door, through the window with his back.
"Midoriya!" He shouted in fright; He shook his head, sinking with one knee, creating an ice floor, which expanded to the slime monster that was clumsily clumping down the street, shouting intelligible phrases, but what Todoroki managed to perceive was that he was looking for someone with a powerful Quirk to absorb it.
The ice floor covered the viscous body of the monster, and then he created an ice barrier that covered the building opposite to the one that crashed Midoriya, also protecting civilians.
"You have a powerful Quirk" The slime monster pointed out in a hungry gesture.
Todoroki tensed his jaw.
And as if it were an incredible feat, Midoriya jumped out of the building in one piece, landing with his legs bent at his side.
"Midoriya" Todoroki sighed, relieved to see him unharmed.
"I'm fine" He said, smiling at his. "I think I know how to defeat him, or at least stop him" He rectified, inhaling oxygen.
"Ah! The young man without Quirk!" The enchanted slime monster sang.
He saw him visibly twitch, his features tighten and his hands clenched into fists ready to be crashed to any object that passed him by.
"Todoroki-kun." Midoriya suddenly spoke in a trembling voice.
"Yes?" He turned to see him, starting to create another ice barrier in the other buildings that still guarded people. "Do you know what we will do?"
"Yes" He replied by reflex. "The only way to defeat him is by using a force greater than his"
The slime monster approached them in an aggressive movement, extending its long viscous arm to Todoroki, who protected himself by making an ice barrier in the form of spikes, but did not retain the monster one hundred percent.
"Todoroki-kun, watch out!" Midoriya carried him in his arms and flew off to the opposite end. Todoroki blushed even though he was in a dangerous situation, but his feelings remained intact despite the circumstances already mentioned.
"Thank you" Todoroki said. He saw him nod, meaning he was listening. "How will we defeat him?" He questioned, being carried by Midoriya, being located in the middle part of the building where he was holding him while holding himself on the railing.
How strong Midoriya had become to support his own weight and on top of his own.
"I think we can dehydrate him," Midoriya assumed, jumping to another higher railing with extreme care not to let go. "If you want to use your fire, you can create a spiral that leaves him without oxygen and if oxygen is reduced the volume of its shape will be affected." He jumped again and climbed up to the railing of the building that led to the terrace. "I can take care of him from there."
"Sounds good to me." He agreed to the plan, feeling himself explode for being held in Midoriya's arms. His arms were so strong, despite his fragile appearance.
"Can you make a spiral of fire?" Midoriya tilted to see him, hanging on the terrace with one hand, without taking his eyes off the slime monster that threatened to approach them.
"Of course" He said for sure.
It did not take Midoriya a second to make his response, in which a pendular motion was thrown to the ground, landing with both feet on the barrier he had made when Midoriya was thrown into the building, also sliding down the ice, to then run at full speed activating his Quirk and pass under the slime monster that had barely noticed his movement; In what the monster turned to see them with malice, Midoriya left Todoroki positioned on the other side of the barrier, where he began to make a spiral of fire, allowing the fire to expand and circulate around the monster, who when wrapped by his flames he began to squirm like an insect.
In effect, he was dehydrating him as Midoriya supposed.
The fire came to life, also increasing the volume of its power, completely enveloping the slime monster, which kicked and shouted in relation to the effect that fire had on its physiognomy.
Todoroki looked for Midoriya, waiting for some sign of his presence, but by good luck, he found him in the middle of the street, where the people were evicted, but watched carefully how Midoriya's plan worked.
Todoroki thought that Midoriya looked great in that position, or rather, in all angles and he had yet to see in him.
How cool and cute could a person be? The descriptions would not do Midoriya justice in any feasible way.
When the monster had lost much of its original form, letting out a cry of contained pain, Midoriya ran at an almost imperceptible speed activating the red bracelet that expanded around his right forearm.
He jumped forward in the direction of the monster, at that moment Todoroki stopped using his fire, allowing Midoriya not to be burned with the force in which the fire burned.
Todoroki saw how Midoriya hit the monster using a massive force, sending the monster to fly to the end of the street, stamping brutally between the glass, completely losing its shape.
The monster had stopped moving.
Midoriya fell to his knees on the floor, impressed.
"Midoriya!" Todoroki ran to his side, worried and eager to be with him. "Are you okay?"
He saw him nod, blinking with bulging eyes.
Suddenly, some people surrounded the scene, including the reports that recorded them with video cameras and cameras.
People praised the feat of the two men for having dealt with a monster that was previously defeated by All Might, and now was defeated by UA students.
Todoroki wanted to give Midoriya full credit, but things turned upside down, taking all his attention, while Midoriya crossed his legs on the floor and began to write in his hero analysis book, muttering.
After a while, some of his classmates appeared with faces of concern, including Bakugou.
What was he doing there? Oh yes, he came because like him, he was in love with Midoriya.
It was obvious that he would come to see if Midoriya was unharmed of everything.
"Deku!" He was the first of his classmates to approach them, drawing Midoriya's attention, who looked at him with wide surprise.
"K-Kacchan!" He was able to articulate, open-mouthed.
"This, are you okay?" He placed both hands on his shoulders, anchoring them with a little force. He gave him a penetrating look.
"Yes-yes" He nodded slowly, frowning, as if he didn't think it was possible for Bakugou to see him if he had been injured in the attack.
"Bastard" He growled, directing his attention to Todoroki. "You better not have been inconvenient in the way of Deku"
"I wasn't" He reiterated indifferently.
"Listen, calm down," Kirishima intervened, putting an arm on top of Bakugou, wanting to diminish his fierce attitude. "Everything is in order, Midoriya is in perfect condition"
The nominee looked up from his notebook, not understanding what was happening, but similarly nodded, ensuring that he was unharmed, and Todoroki was also absent from damage.
"Did you watch us on TV?" Todoroki asked.
Both nodded, and at that moment Uraraka arrived in the company of Iida.
"Deku!"
"Midoriya!" The two friends chanted.
Making the nominee look up again from his notebook, eyeing them strangely.
"Guys" He smiled, glad to see them, standing up. "What are you doing here?"
"We came as soon as we saw you and Todoroki-kun on TV" Said Iida in righteousness.
"You looked amazing!" Uraraka flattered, clasping her hands to her chest, taking a small leap.
"Thank you." Midoriya smiled blushing at the compliment.
That said, Midoriya colored to his ears, mumbling nervously.
"Thank you guys," Todoroki broke in, being of help to Midoriya.
"By the way," Kirishima spoke to some degree of bewilderment. "What were you doing outside of school?"
"Christmas shopping" Todoroki mentioned in irony, glancing at Bakugou, who clicked his tongue and accepted the challenge.
As soon as he said that, Midoriya turned around and ran towards the stands, exalting the others.
"Midoriya?" Todoroki muttered, bewildered.
"Deku!" Shouted Bakugou, being the first to run after him.
"Deku!" Uraraka exclaimed and followed by her, Iida and Kirishima called him, but nothing made him come back. Midoriya didn't stop running, so Todoroki recalled that they left their purchases in one of the stands, hidden under the table that was covered with a white tablecloth that could cover the bags.
He followed him along with his friends, but still, Bakugou had been quicker to reach Midoriya, who managed to take the bags under the table, thanking the man, owner of the stand, for his consideration of taking care of his purchases.
"Thank you very much" He said, with a polite nod.
"Yes, that's fine." The booth owner reassured him.
"Stop, Deku." Bakugou hit him on the head, snapping his tongue.
Todoroki arrived with the rest, noting that Bakugou ruffled Midoriya's hair with his right hand, scolding him for being so dumb for everything.
"I'm sorry, Kacchan." Midoriya let out a chuckle, ducking his head as he was treated like that by Bakugou.
"You better have understood" He growled, removing his hand from his hair.
"Yes." He smiled, showing his teeth in a gentle air.
Todoroki did not like to see that. He didn't like it.
However, he noticed that Midoriya was very smiling, holding his shopping bags with a keen attitude.
"Midoriya" he spoke, restricting his disturbance from seeing Midoriya beside Bakugou. The aforementioned, turned his attention to him, nodding.
"Todoroki-kun, I have the bags" He showed them, in stunning aura, causing Todoroki to shudder at such a sight. "We still have to buy my mom's gift."
"Can we go?" His friends anxiously expressed.
Midoriya blushed in shame, mumbling; Todoroki knew that he must hardly be kind to them, because like him, they were his friends. Part of the people who had accepted him for being who he was.
"Yes." He agreed in a good way.
Uraraka and Iida looked at each other enthusiastically, Kirishima glanced at Bakugou, who made a face of disgust at seeing him, but in any case, he didn't object to accompany them, for it was Midoriya. There not even he could intervene,
"Sorry if I didn't let you know I was going to go shopping " Midoriya apologized, bowing his head in distress.
"Midoriya, don't worry" Iida deterred, mechanic.
"Yes, don't worry, Deku," Uraraka laughed nonchalantly, relaxing Midoriya's expression. "We are not offended if you didn't tell us that you would go shopping."
"Really?" He asked uncertainly.
They both nodded, surrounding Midoriya on both sides with their arms.
"That's what friends are for" Uraraka chanted.
"Indeed," Iida added affirmatively.
"I appreciate it very much," Midoriya admitted. "By the way, look at what I bought a while ago" He spoke excitedly, pulling the Santa's hat out of his bag, placing it on his head. "How do I look?" He put two index fingers on each side of the corner of his mouth, showing a bright smile.
Todoroki blushed, not avoiding noticing that Bakugou was red from his ears and his cheeks lit up.
"Ridiculous," Bakugou muttered, turning his head with his arms crossed in resignation.
"Your hat suits you" Iida praised.
"You look cute!" Uraraka complemented with her fists up, making Midoriya blush embarrassed, but he didn't erase the smile from his face or the position of his fingers at the corner of his mouth.
"Nothing bad, Midoriya" Kirishima laughed, friendly.
"I know!" Uraraka said, taking out her cell phone. "I will take a picture of you!"
"Ah! It is not necessary" Midoriya stammered, putting a hand to the back of his neck, brushing his hair.
"Yes it is" She insisted, adjusting Midoriya's pose to the previous one. "Now, smile naturally" She ordered in a determined gesture.
"But-but." He seemed to doubt a second, but he recovered and smiled, looking innocent and tender. "Go ahead, Uraraka-san," He said.
Todoroki smiled as he glimpsed unique scenes where Midoriya's smile was present, not immuted to be seen, or even told anything about his actions, but he didn't deny that he felt discomfort with Bakugou's presence among them, being a annoying presence and somewhat irritating, but quite irritating, of course, both were in love with Midoriya and would fight until the end to have him.
He looked challenging, to which, Bakugou gave him a disdainful look, giving him the appearance that smoke was coming from his hair.
He definitely wouldn't lose against Bakugou.
Definitely.
