Todoroki POV

I had just finished my breakfast when my brother came downstairs to have his.

"You look happy today, anything going on? You're not usually this happy the morning after you had to deal with dad," Natsuo smiled.

"Midoriya's walking me to school," I responded, "it's nice to have friends," I brought my dishes to the kitchen and started putting them in the dishwasher.

"Yeah, friends are great," I did not understand why he put so much emphasis on the word friends. It was like he was trying to hint at something, but I did not understand what. What I did understand was the time.

"I should go meet him now. I don't want to keep him waiting," I told him as I put on my shoes, I opened the door, he was standing by the fence mumbling to himself. I walked over to him; he is often oblivious to what was going on around him when he was mumbling. I wanted to see how close I had to get for him to notice me, when I got less than half a meter away my stomach started to feel weird, but in a good way. I was almost on top of him and he still didn't notice me, so I spoke to get his attention.

Midoriya POV

I approached Todoroki-kun' s house the next morning, he wasn't there was I too early? What do I do? What if he already left without me? Should I go and knock? But what if he isn't ready I don't want to rush him he also may not be the one who answers the door I know that he has a brother and a sister who may answer! I can't believe that I asked this I'm glad that he said yes and I love spending time with him but we never actually set an exact time or place! How did I overlook details like that I was just so excited about walking with him that I-

"Hello Midoriya," his beautiful voice brought me back to reality, he was standing almost directly in front of me! I had to look up to see his handsome face, he was looking down slightly, I thought about how easy it would be to stand on my tiptoes and close the distance between our mouths. I felt my face heat up at the thought of kissing him, I looked away in an attempt to hide my blush. I couldn't do that, we were just friends, I think he's gay but even if he was I didn't know if he would even be into me. Oh no, what does he thinking about me blushing and looking away!?

I nervously looked back, he didn't seem to look mad or annoyed, wait was that a small smile? YES it was a smile!

"I think we should go," his seemingly monatomic voice was very sweet and gentle.

"Ye-yeah!" I stuttered after being brought back to reality again, I looked up at the gorgeous boy, smiling I took a deep breath, how can anyone look so perfect. I started walking to the train station, knowing that he would follow me. This must be kind of like how he needed to sit in the back corner of the restaurant so he can watch every one!

We didn't talk much during our trip on the way to the train but I was fine just being with him, but on the train, when he wasn't behind me, I found myself staring at him a lot, I tried to stop but I just wanted to look at him. I'm not sure if he didn't notice or he didn't care, I found him looking at me a few times too. Our hands were so close I just wanted to put mine over his but were just friends and I didn't want to weird him out, boys don't hold hands.

"Can we quiz each other?" his question caught me off guard by both what he said and that adorable awkward way he said it.

"Yeah sure!" I smiled. We quizzed each other until we got to school, once we got there our friends joined in and we all did that until Aiwaza-Sensei started class making us stop.

Todoroki POV

On the train ride, Midoriya kept looking at me, I looked at him too. I normally don't like people staring at me, but with him, I didn't mind. He just seemed so happy. The more I looked at his cute face, the shine in his emerald eyes, his wide smile and cute freckles, I got weird feelings, they were nice, but I didn't understand them, so I tried to push them away. I decided to start talking, but the only thing I could think of was the test. So I suggested that we quiz each other. I was nervous and embarrassed to ask that, due to him knowing that I don't really study. I just needed to get my mind off how adorable he is. Adorable, why do I keep thinking of him that way, we're both boys.

At the end of the day, my peers were talking about the test again. I felt that I did better on that day's exam, a few of the things the green-haired boy quizzed me on were on the test. I was glad I asked for that. Today he left the room with everyone else instead of waiting to leave with me. I knew that he didn't have to, he didn't owe me anything. It just felt lonely leaving the classroom by myself. The whole trip home I kept thinking about that. How I got used to him being really nice to me. I really don't deserve him. I hoped that this was just a one-day thing. I kept thinking about it the whole trip home. When I got home, I noticed that no one else's shoes were there. I was home alone. I kept thinking about him. I decided to exercise to take my mind off him. I left my phone in my room when I changed.

I worked out for the rest of the afternoon. Once I finished and took a shower, I noticed that I had a missed text. Or missed texts to be more accurate. Most of them were from Midoriya, tracing back to over two hours ago. There were also texts from Iida and Uraraka. My best friend must have had them text me when I didn't text back.

I read all of them and I was correct as to why those two texted me. Midoriya wanted to apologize for leaving class before me. There was a miscommunication with a text from his mother. He thought that there was an emergency, so he wanted to get home as quickly as possible. He also made it clear that it was a false alarm and that everything was ok. I smiled. he does still care about me. When I responded he asked if I wanted him to walk me to school again as Enji doesn't work early on Wednesdays. I said yes. I was looking forward to seeing Midoriya tomorrow morning.
