The story is not very explicit because the idea of it was to explain how it was that Shouto discovered how much the affirmations and congratulations turned him on, instead of demonstrating what he did with that knowledge.

I hope you forgive me for any errors and the fact that I'm upload this two days later (I had a couple of problems and it was impossible to write normally until today)

Okay, I'll stop messing with around... I hope you like it :)
I'm going to try to publish two stories tomorrow and two the next day so I'm not so late anymore... but we'll see how it goes.

Shouto came to the classroom after a fairly exhaustive training. Professor Aizawa had decided that that month they would have practical sessions where they would try to bring out the best in a one of the student; in short, a simple all against one exercise. The problem was, since the entire class's attention was on one person, that student was under a lot of pressure and could feel anxious about having to face off everyone.

Now, while Shouto never seemed to show any emotion, you could see the stoic expression on his face, that didn't mean that he didn't die internally; you could tell if you look at him in great detail because he had a really tiny frown. The teacher took into account the difficulty involved in facing Shouto and left him until almost the end of the month, so his classmates could get used to those training sessions.

Shouto was the last to enter the classroom, fifteen minutes after the others, thanks to the well-deserved shower and rest that he had when everyone else left the changing room; although… was that all he did while his classmates returned to the main school building?

That day Shouto discovered something about him that wasn't expected at all. Besides having everyone's gaze on him, he also had the motivational phrases and congratulations practically all to himself. Shouts of "Very good, Todoroki" and "That was exceptional, Shouto" filled the air, the broken voices of his friends reaching his ears with every passing second and Shouto didn't understand why his skin felt so hot or the way that the pressure in his abdomen accompanied him throughout the whole training.

He almost trembled a couple of times, especially when it was one of the boys who shouted how original and fluid his movements were or when the dekusquad members were the ones who made him feel flustered by what they were saying; Shouto had to accept that it was a good feeling, even though it also distracted him more than he had expected.

He staggered when, as he slid over one if the thin ice films he was creating to get to the flag he was supposed to steal, Midoriya caught up with him from behind and congratulated him on the speed with which he was able to reach using his quirk.

He felt his cheeks burn when Bakugou intercepted him at the end of the practice to tell him that he didn't do so badly, that in the blonde's words, was something more like "Half and half, you were less shitty than the others" and Shouto had taken it as the best compliment someone could give him; since it came from Bakugou, it was special.

He was aware of the lump in his throat as Kirishima passed through the wall of fire he had formed to protect himself from his classmates. The way his hardened body crossed the extremely high temperature in one fast leap and stepped in front of him before yelling at him about how far he had come from the heat he felt as he approached and passed the barrier.

The tension in his abdomen got tighter when Kaminari pointed one of his markers at him and told him that his flexibility was impressive because Shouto had managed to avoid, on more than one occasion, the small disk from sticking to his body.

The way he ran out of air when Shinsou tied one of his legs with the gray cloth and pulled it until he had it hanging from a tube in front of him, and how the guy told him that he didn't expect how well balanced his plan was, related with his defense and attack stability, while going against everyone else; he also felt special because he was the one who told him that.

Mina came to his side, breaking the ice fort that he had built, to congratulate him on how detailed he was with the structure and how beautiful it was; plus the effect that her compliments had when she talked about the work he did designing and creating little ice crystals in the dorms.

Hagakure took him by surprise, as if it was possible not to… the poor girl is invisible. She jumped on top of him, almost knocking him over at the moment, stopping his movements by grabbing his wrists just before handing him a pair of anti-quirk handcuffs and making him not having much else to do.

Ojiro and Dark Shadow arrived at once, certain that he would not have as much stability with his hands in the handcuffs. They marveled at the way he used the little problem to create a window of time where they paid less attention to him and he was able to knock Ojiro down, pressing his knee to his abdomen and stucking him to the floor.

Uraraka teamed up with Sero to set him up early in the training. She floated the flag he had to get while he spread strips of his ribbon on the ground, wanting Shouto to walk on them and stick to it; again, their plan didn't work and they only had to let Shouto know that he was a star and that they were happy about how he didn't miss any detail in a situation like that one.

Shouto felt nervous when he met Momo because he knew how smart the girl was and he was sure that he would have to put all his efforts to overcome any challenge that she sent his way; he didn't expect to get transparent ropes between the buildings in front of him and less to be surrounded by them when he passed through one of the alleys… Momo told him that she had to think too much about it and that she put together three other alternate plans in case the first one failed, adding that he had fallen into his second choice, and she was proud of the attention he paid to his surroundings.

Aoyama wanted to blind him momentarily by the sparks of his quirk and managed to make him close his eyes for a second, when he teamed up with Hagakure, but he didn't achieve anything very offensive because Shouto created a wall of ice and thus closed his field of vision; Shouto heard him yell that he had enormous respect for him for not being carried away by his brightness, which sounded important coming from Aoyama.

Sato showed him what seemed to be an illusion, even if it was totally real: a long table with all the sweets that Shouto could imagine, practically out of his own fantasies, with many bottles of those mega sugary drinks that he liked to drink so much. He felt the need to lessen the heat that was hitting him, believing it was only from training, so he went to the table and was greeted by a larger than usual Sato, who threw a cake at his face, even though Shouto was able to dodge it. Sato gave him a "you have the best reflexes in the class, maybe even of the whole year or the entire school" before running to the other side, away from him.

Jirou got him to stop next to a half-destroyed building by connecting her cables to her speakers and throwing the most jagged waves that she could. Shouto froze for a moment, overwhelmed by the strange sensation, he crouched down in an attempt to lessen it, but he worsen it; he even got a headache. He could feel the invariable pumping of his blood filling his ears, until Jirou stood next to him and told him that he had been the first person who had endured the waves without much more that a pain to complain about.

The last chance he had to take the flag was supposed to have been against Shouji and Tokoyami, or so Shouto thought at first, when he felt his legs tickle and looked down. A lot of insects crawled up his pants, courtesy of Koda, and made him start kicking the floor an attempt to get them away from him but his idea didn't work so well and he looked up again, now to see his three opponents in front of him.

Right away he had Koda whispering almost too softly to be audible "the i-insects said t-that you were m-making it difficult to mo-move" and Shouto arched an eyebrow because he recognized the type of animal that was attacking him, and he knew that they could carry and push more than ten times their weight; that he was still practically in the same place, was a pleasant surprise.

Professor Aizawa stopped the training after two hours of going back and forth through the corridors of ground beta, speaking loud and clear through the speakers of the place: Until now none of you have even been able to really contain Shouto, and there are many more of you against him… Todoroki must feel proud for having managed to endure so much against all their attacks, just as I am.

Shouto didn't hear the next congratulations from his classmates. He jogged with his eyes half closed to the dressing room. He needed to get there as quickly as possible to find his headphones and put on some of his favorite songs to be able to process the set of sensations inside him.

He sat on the bench as soon as he entered, a high but soothing melody echoing in his ears and it hit him suddenly; fully aware of the mix of perceptions. The tingling of his palms, the heat on his cheeks, the pressure on his abdomen and the faint ache in his crotch… something he hadn't noticed before.

Why am I like this after a training session? He thought with his eyes closed and his head resting against the metal of his locker. He was static for a few minutes, until a pair of hands rested on his shoulders and he had to open his eyes when he felt them.

It was Iida and Midoriya who were watching him from above, standing in front of him with a pair of smiles; Midoriya's much bigger and brighter, of course. Shouto arched an eyebrow before taking off his headphones and waited for them to say something.

"That was great, Todoroki-kun." Shouto felt an even greater pressure south of his body. "You've come too far and I'm excited to get back to practicing against you." Izuku continued, pressing his shoulder gently before turning his face to look at Iida.

"It's true, Todoroki." The delegate began. "On behalf of everyone, I congratulate you on how well planned and calm you were throughout the training; it is an excellent activity to go against someone so strong."

He heard Bakugou say that he wasn't so bad from one of the corners but he couldn't think of anything else; Shouto had already understood. He remembered an article he had read a few weeks ago and the light bulb in his head turned on. 'It makes me horny to be complimented and congratulated so much… am I discovering this right now and here?'

He rose from his seat with a sigh, determined to take off his hero suit to go for a bath as quickly as possible; if only to lessen the heat that he couldn't control with his quirk. He removed his boots and began to unzip the costume before realizing that the bulge he had in his pants was clearly noticeably.

He ran to the showers right away, the boys asked him if he was okay and he answered them with a simple: yes, don't wait for me, go to the classroom. The cold water calmed him down a bit and he managed to control his breathing after a couple of minutes. His classmates had already left him alone and that was when he had the strength to open his eyes, lower his gaze and see what was happening with him.

It wasn't the first time that he was in that condition but, usually, it was in the morning, right after a fantasy dream, or at night, after a very stressful day… not during the day and in the middle of a training exercise. 'They all had to figure it out before me,' he groaned in frustration and moved his left hand from the wall to his dick.

Shouto knew that he needed to hurry and that he didn't have much time, so he raised the temperature of his quirk and began to masturbate with quick movements, running his thumb over the tip, pressing weakly in the specific places he knew he liked. The beautiful phrases that his friends had told him were repeated continuously in his mind and his breathing had become uneven; it was difficult for him to take a calmed breath and he felt his heart beating at full speed.

"Todoroki-kun…" the voice of one of his friends whispered in his head and Shouto couldn't take it anymore, dirtying his hand and the tiles of the wall.

He leaned his head against the wall and waited until he was back to normal. He bathed as fast as he could before turning off the water and grabbing the towel that one of his classmates had moved next to the showers. He dressed and walked out of the locker room with his bag in one hand and his hero suit bag in the other. He walked through the hallways of the school until he reached his classroom, taking a deep breath and trying to silence the voices in his mind that reminded him of what he had just done.

He put on his best bored expression when he opened the classroom door and all his classmates received him in a great happy mood, their phrases coming from all sides and his cheeks began to heat up; Shouto was all red by the time he got to his desk. They didn't stop until Professor Aizawa arrived and Shouto could already feel the pressure building up in his pants.

He lowered his forehead and bit his lip when he buried his head in his arms, glad that the desk could hide what he didn't want the others to see at the time. Shouto felt a bit bad about what was happening but he didn't know what else to do; at least they didn't continue talking after the teacher arrived and also left him alone for the rest of the day.

Yes, it was a stressful and frustrating day for Shouto, but he learned something new about him and, when he went to bed at night, he wasn't able to help the small smile that got into his expression… he liked being able to bring out those things that were hidden and now he would keep the strange situation in his memory until he could explore it with someone special.

Well... that was it :)

I don't ask for kudos or comments because I know that the story is not a big deal, so I simply invite you to read the other stories in the challenge (like a second chance?)

Anyways, thanks for reading this weird fic...
