Shoto knocked on Kahoko's door a couple hours later.

It opened to reveal a beautiful woman with white hair and green eyes.

Wow... she looks like a grown-up Sano...

"Can I help you?"

Shoto cleared his throat. "Yeah, is Kahoko here? I'm here to walk her to the station." It felt weird to say her first name. It seemed to slip through his lips effortlessly.

Kahoko appeared behind her mother. "It's okay, mom, it's Todoroki from school." She added.

"Isn't Hitoshi picking you up?"

"He never said so." She pulled her boots on before picking up her overnight bag. "I'll see you next weekend hopefully." She kissed her mother on the cheek.

Her mother's mouth was agape. "It's nice to meet you, Mr Todoroki." She gave a giggle.

He bowed his head. "You too, ma'am." He reached out and took Kahoko's bag. "Looks heavy." He mumbled.

She met his gaze and smiled. "Thanks." She pulled up her scarf and followed him down the path.

Her mother stared. She internally squealed. She closed the door. "Dear! Kahoko is going to school with a boy!"

Mr Sano looked at her. "Hitoshi?"

She shook her head. "Todoroki."

His eyes widened. "Endeavour's son?"

Her smile faltered. "I guess so."

Natsume laughed. "Mom, dad, he's nice. He really cares about Kaho-nee."

Mr Sano sighed. "I guess we can't hold it against the boy if Kahoko isn't going to."

Mrs Sano grinned. "And he's a handsome one."

Mr Sano grumbled. "He has to get through me first."

Shoto bought them drinks before sitting beside Kahoko. "Your mom is pretty."

Kahoko smiled. "Yeah, the prettiest."

"I don't know..." He bit his tongue.

She raised a brow at him. "Oh... know anyone apart from your mom who's prettier?"

"Well..." He looked away. She thinks my mom is pretty? Can this girl be any sweeter? "My whole class think that you're the prettiest in the year at least."

She laughed.

"I'm serious, those who've met you won't stop going on about you."

"Because I'm pretty?"

"Well... partly."

She smirked, hearing his heart pound.

He looked back at her, with her scarf up, it was hard for him to see her expression clearly, but the look in her eyes told him she was teasing him. He gave a snort and looked away.

She pouted. She got up and sat on his other side. "I'm sorry..." She said.

He looked down.

She crouched on the ground and looked up at him. "Don't be mad..."

He looked up to meet her eyes. Oh, how he wished he hadn't.

Her eyes swirled with slight mischief and a little concern.

He reached down and tugged at her scarf, making it slip from her face.

She frowned, confused.

He leaned down, his nose brushing against hers.

Her eyes widened. Is he...?

"Sano!" Katsuki Bakugo's voice rang out.

The pair jumped apart.

Kahoko looked around to see Katsuki jogging towards them. She stood straight. "Kacchan?"

Katsuki's pace faltered when he heard the name, his heart skipping a beat.

Shoto frowned. Kacchan?! He looked up too. "Bakugo, why are you here? Weren't you still at the dorms?"

Katsuki met the dual haired boy's glare. "Why are you here?"

"I live in this town, I offered to catch the train with her."

Kahoko smiled widely at Katsuki. "I thought you were meeting us at the station on the other side?"

"Yeah... well I got bored waiting so decided to come here and wait." He replied. "Turns out I was on the wrong platform."

Kahoko giggled. "Silly."

Katsuki pouted. He sat down a seat away from Shoto. "How are you feeling anyway?"

Kahoko felt her heart flutter a little, remembering moments before. I should just forget it… "I'm okay, my parents came home so I don't need to babysit this week."

"That's good."

Kahoko's ears pricked. "Train." She said.

Katsuki frowned.

"The train is coming."

"Ohh right, super hearing." He clocked.

She smiled. "Yep! It's a gift and a curse."

Shoto stood up too, swinging her bag onto his shoulder. What was I thinking?! Was I even thinking? I just went onto auto-pilot. She looked so cute and... He met her eyes, they looked a little confused. He bowed his head apologetically.

She patted his shoulder. "My quirk should come with a hazard sign." She whispered before following Katsuki onto the train.

He frowned. Should come with a hazard sign? He stepped on too.

Kahoko stood next to Katsuki and held onto the same safety poll. "So, I guess you missed me." She grinned up at him.

Katsuki shrugged his shoulders. "I missed being around someone smart."

She laughed.

He reached out and tugged her scarf up. "You forgot."

She blushed, remembering the way Shoto tugged it off before trying to kiss her. "Thanks."

Shoto watched the two. Something felt unpleasant in the pit of his stomach.

They got off the train and headed towards the dorms together.

"Kaho!" Momo ran up and hugged the green-eyed girl.

"Momo!" She gasped, the impact of the hug winded her.

"So, did you bring all the cute outfits from the mall?"

Kahoko nodded.

"I can't wait to see you wear them! Me, you and the girls should have a sleepover at mine at some point." Momo replied excitedly.

"Um... alright, I guess."

The boys shared a look and a shrug.

Momo realised that they were there. "Okay, I'll leave you with these two. Bakugo has been like a lost puppy since you went home." She gave a wink before heading back inside.

Katsuki gave a grumble. "No, I haven't." He huffed.

"C'mon, I'm hungry." Kahoko said, leading the way in too.

"Do you want to go and buy something?" Shoto asked, as he and Katsuki followed her.

She shook her head. "I'm going to use our kitchen and make something."

"I'm hungry too..." Katsuki whined. "Kaho, make me some yummy food too?"

She blushed a little at the nickname.

Shoto suppressed the urge to smack Katsuki. Why are they suddenly so informal?

"Would you like some too, Todoroki?" She asked.

He blinked but nodded. "Please."

"Second floor we go." She cheered.
