Midoriya POV
I woke up way before my alarm and stared at the ceiling. I knew that I was prepared for the test, but I still had that nagging feeling that I wouldn't do well. I took a deep breath and got ready for school. If I didn't show up I would fail for sure. I ate my breakfast, while watching pro hero highlights. As I was finishing one of Endeavor came on the screen and thought of Todoroki-kun and how badly he treated him. I looked at the time there was still a lot of time before I had to leave for school and I knew that Endeavor doesn't work Mondays so he'd be there with Todoroki-kun which is bad for him so I decided to surprise him and meet him at his train station, which was surprisingly empty considering the time, but it also made sense because less people lived in this area so that's less people needing to go to work.
Todoroki POV
"Midoriya what are you doing here," I asked, thoroughly confused.
"Well I was up early and I know that your dad is off this morning and that he might upset you so I wanted to a make your morning a little better so I thought I could walk you to school!" he smiled.
Even though I was happy to see him and his smile I couldn't get myself to respond in a positive manner. I don't smile that much so that shouldn't think anything of it.
Unfortunately, he knows me too well, and saw through the mask I put on. "What's wrong Todoroki? Does it have to do with your father, because I know that he's off today."
I looked down and nodded, not feeling like talking. I noticed him get flustered before asking me something. Something that no one had asked me since mom got sent away. He asked if I needed a hug. I didn't know how to respond to that. I was still shaken from my encounter with Enji. The problem is there being people at the station but no one was paying attention to us. Everyone, as usual, were too engrossed with whatever was on their phones. So I nodded and walked up to the smaller boy. He awkwardly wrapped his arms around me, as I put my arms around him. He quickly relaxed. I don't think I ever felt as good as I did hugging Midoriya, his hair smelled of apples. I felt calm. I almost lost track of my surroundings. Almost, I'm always paying attention to everything around me. That's what made me reluctantly pull away as I heard the train. His face was bright red, but he was smiling. Though for some reason I felt my cheeks warm and a small smile on my face. I hoped that I'd get more hugs from him in the future. For some reason, I wanted to hold his hand as we boarded the train. It seemed like a weird thing to do so I didn't.
"Want to quiz each other?" he asked, as we took out seats. Studying for the test is probably something I should do. If I did well it might make Enji happy and as much as I don't want him to be happy, it is often more beneficial. It would also make Midoriya happy which is something that I do want. I agreed and we spent the rest of the commute doing that.
We arrived at the classroom before most of our classmates. Iida was one of them so I followed Midoriya to him. They started talking about the test while talking I wondered what it would be like hugging him. Even though I consider him a friend it didn't have the same appeal. When Ukaraka arrived I thought about her. She looked soft, and would probably give good hugs, but I'd still much rather hug Midoriya. This was very confusing, as I considered both of them friends. I guess I just saw Midoriya as a best friend. Although I didn't have any previous experience with friendship I did know that people had favorite friends. The freckled boy was mine.
Soon Aizawa-sensei announced the start of class and the test.
