Returned

Todoroki didn't get a chance to return the barrette the next day. Classes were canceled. All students were instructed to stay home, away from trouble, to rest. Classes were to resume the next day. He had slipped the barrette from the pouch on his costume to the pocket of his uniform jacket. His father wasn't home the next day. Most of the big time heroes were scouring the city for any sign of the League of Villains. The others were at UA strengthening its security and trying to find the hole the villains had gotten through in the first place. His sister had offered to do the laundry, his brother was working on his own studies so Shoto focused on the homework they'd been set before the attack. His sister knocked on his door after some time.

"Come in." She smiled as he closed his notebook and turned his attention to her.

"I'm glad you're alright." He nodded the ghost of a smile on his lips. His sister continued. "I found something in the pocket of your blazer. Um…" She held out her hand, in it rested a blue barrette adorned with a red ribbon and the small silhouette of All Might's face in yellow. Shoto nodded.

"It's not mine." Fuyumi raised an eyebrow and laughed slightly.

"I didn't think it was yours Shoto. I was wondering whose it was."

"My classmate, Izumi Midoriya." His sister's still raised eyebrow pushed Shoto to continue. "She dropped it, well it fell from her hair, during the attack on the USJ. I haven't had an opportunity to give it back to her." Fuyumi smiled.

"Oh well I hope you do." Fuyumi handed him the barrette and turned to leave. Before she did she paused at the door. " You know you can talk to me about anything right?" Shoto nodded slowly. "You'll tell me if you end up with a sweetheart in your class right?" Shoto furrowed his brow.

"I don't see that happening. I have other things to focus on." He turned back to his notes setting the barrette neatly next to his bag. Fuyumi's smile turned slightly sad. She nodded though.

"Dinner is at seven." Shoto nodded.

"Thank you." Fuyumi nodded and left him alone. Later after dinner, when he had settled down to study, he found himself looking at the barrette. He had never seen Midoriya without it. She even wore it under her hero costume. He wondered if she would still do so after everything that had happened. She probably thought she'd lost it for good after everything that had happened.

Across town the barrette was indeed being missed. Izumi kept having to push her hair back behind her ear much to her frustration She was sure though that the barrette had met a watery demise at the bottom of the shipwreck zone in the USJ. She couldn't for the life of her think of where else it could be.

After Cementos had rescued her and All Might from the awkward situation that would have arisen from Kirishima discovering the truth they had both been whisked off by several of the other teachers. Out a back entrance to the USJ and into what had turned out to be Midnight's car. The hero had driven them both back to the school and spirited them inside to the caring hands of Recovery Girl without anyone seeing anything. It hadn't been until later, while talking with All Might in the infirmary that Izumi had even noticed it was missing. She finally gave up and asked her mother to braid her hair. They spent a pleasant evening fixing each other's hair and talking about anything but classes, anything but UA.

The attack had spooked Inko Midoriya. It had spooked a lot of parents, the whole city was on pins and needles after the blatant attack against not only the symbol of peace but the children who would be the next generation of heroes. Everyone was walking on eggshells now.

The next day everyone was desperate to get everything back to normal. Security around UA had been beefed up but with her student ID she had no troubles. She grinned at Iida and Uraraka as she entered the classroom but someone tapped her on the shoulder before she could reach her friends. She turned and looked up into Todoroki's eyes, one blue the other grey. She blinked, she didn't think she'd ever been this close to the boy before.

"Oh, hello Todoroki." He held out his hand, and opened his fist. Izumi's face lit up with a grin. "My lucky barrette! I thought I lost this!" She grinned as she took it from Todoroki's proffered hand. "Thank you so much!" He nodded. She grinned at him again. "I thought it was at the bottom of the shipwreck zone."

"No." Todoroki shook his head. "It must have fallen off when you leapt off to help All Might. I found it on the ground as we were leaving the USJ." Izumi frowned.

"Wait, how did you know it was mine?"

"You always wear it. Always on the left side of your hair. I've never seen you take it off." Izumi blinked at him again, her face going cherry red as that one pesky section of messy green hair fell from behind her left ear and into her face.

"Thank you." She said, though her voice had gone small. Todoroki nodded and stepped away from her towards his seat. It was only then that Izumi noticed the rest of the class was in the room and all the girls were staring at her. Her face went from cherry red to the shade of a tomato in seconds and she bumbled her way to her seat brushing her hair back and securing it with the barrette as Uraraka bounced over to her looking exceedingly curious.
