Shoto walked into the dorm building. What am I doing?! He raised his hand and touched his scarred skin, memories flooding back. She's going to think that I'm some sort of weirdo.

"Todoroki?"

He looked up to see Kahoko walking towards him in a fresh shirt, carrying Hitoshi's blazer. "Sano... are you alright?"

She nodded. "Why wouldn't I be? It was only a bit of coffee. I'm a bit embarrassed though. You're right, I do have a knack for bumping into people." She smiled.

"Did you get burned?"

She nodded. "I'm going to Recovery Girl now. It scalded my chest a little bit here." She pulled down her shirt a little, revealing a bit of reddening skin just above her breast. "Thank goodness it didn't burn any lower... I dunno how I'd feel about Recovery Girl kissing there." She giggled.

Shoto couldn't suppress an amused smile. "I'm glad that you're okay."

"Did you need something from your dorm?" She asked.

He shook his head and walked forward. "I just came to check on you. Yaoyorozu was worried."

She saw something flicker across his eyes. "I'm fine. Just a small burn and I doubt it'll scar or anything." She reached out and ruffled his dual locks. "Thanks for being concerned."

I keep forgetting that she can practically see right through me. He walked with her to the nurse's office.

"Last night..." Kahoko turned her gaze away from him. "Did I do something to upset you?"

He almost tripped over. "No... why would you think that?"

"At breakfast, it was clear that you were lying about your headache, so you left for another reason, right?"

He swallowed. "It wasn't anything that you did. Don't worry about that."

She sighed. "Then what?"

"Would it be bad that I honestly don't know the answer to that?"

She frowned, not sensing any dishonesty coming from him. He sounded confused. "Fine... as long as you're not mad at me."

"How could I ever be mad at you?"

They got to the nurse's office and knocked.

Recovery Girl called for them to enter.

They walked in.

"Mr Todoroki, Miss Sano? What can I do for you?"

Kahoko cleared her throat. "I had hot coffee spilt on me and got a burn on my chest, could you help?" She asked.

"It's a fresh burn, so it shouldn't be any trouble. Go behind the curtain and undress the part that needs healed."

Kahoko exhaled in slight relief and did as she was told.

Recovery Girl looked to Shoto. "Don't worry, your pretty girlfriend won't scar with me on the job." She assured him.

He didn't have it in him to correct her.

A few minutes, Kahoko came out. "Good as new." She checked her watch. "Oh, no. You're going to be late for class! Mr Aizawa isn't as lenient as Mr Shiki." She added.

"I guess so. Let's get going." He led the way out and up the corridor.

Shoto walked into class and apologised for being late. Since it was his first time, Mr Aizawa let him off the hook.

"Todoroki. How was she?" Momo asked.

"She's fine, she got a bit of a burn so went to the nurse's office." He explained, sitting down.

Momo smirked. I knew he'd go to her.

Deku looked over to the two in confusion. "Something happened to Sano?"

"Yeah, some girl bumped into her and spilt hot coffee on her." Momo explained.

Deku frowned. "I'm glad she's okay."

Katsuki gave a small sigh and took out his phone, hiding it underneath the desk. Hope you didn't get too badly burned – Kacchan.

Nope, Recovery Girl did a good job, not a mark on me. Phew – Kaho.

Todoroki kinda jumped up to go see you when Yaoyorozu said the coffee was really hot. I would've come too but I have had far too many late penalties from Aizawa. - Kacchan.

You both worry too much. I'm a strong woman you know. But thank you for thinking of me – Kaho.

Katsuki smiled a little. For some reason I can't stop thinking about her. He put his phone away and covered his face with his hands.

Shoto looked over to Katsuki and saw him texting. He's probably checking in like he does.

"Alright, class. We've got another training camp coming up. Hopefully this time we won't get attacked by villains. The general education course will be joining us, so they can have a chance of moving up into class B... or A if any of you don't get up to scratch."

Momo shared a look with Deku. "This is great... maybe Kaho can get into the hero course after all!" She hissed.

Deku smiled widely. "Shinso too."

Shoto looked at his hands. A whole week... with Sano training with us? He suppressed a smile.

"Some of the top pro-heroes will be joining us, including All Might of course, being your instructor, and Endeavour has graciously offered to come too."

Shoto's eyes narrowed. My dad?! He clenched his fists. Don't tell me it's to get close to Sano?

Katsuki looked over to him and met his gaze. He looks pissed. "Hey..." He whispered.

Shoto blinked.

"If she gets upset because of your old man, don't be mad if I kill him."

Shoto nodded. "You'll have to beat me to it."

In Mr Shiki's classroom.

Kahoko's eyes widened. "We're doing a joint training camp?"

"Yes, Miss Sano. Between the Hero and General classes. The heroes need more training for their provisional licence exams and this will give you guys a chance to maybe get into the hero course next year at least. We train you as we would the hero course, but you don't normally get this kind of hands on training so if I were you I'd grasp this chance with both hands." Mr Shiki rambled.

"Kaho, this'll be great. Let's work hard." Hitoshi reached over and grabbed her hand. "Together."

"Plus, you get to spend more time with those hero boys you've befriended!" One of the girls, Naoko Shiki, grinned.

She is Mr Shiki's daughter, although she denied anything to do with it, because her father was literally a walking disaster and she didn't want any involvement in any chaos he causes. There was a good reason why his Hero name is Broken Mirror.

"You make it sound like I'm chasing them." She pouted.

"More like they're chasing you and you're oblivious." Naoko laughed. "Seriously, since you've opened up even my cousin in the year above seems to have the hots for you."

"He has the hots for anything that has boobs and nice legs." Hitoshi remarked.

Kahoko's phone buzzed. She checked the message.

Kaho, did you get the announcement?! - Momo.

Yeah, just. - Kaho.

I hope we can all train together. - Momo.

Kahoko smiled. Me too – Kaho.

"Who was it? Bakugo?" Hitoshi quizzed.

"No, Momo. They've just received the announcement too."

"You have nothing to worry about." Hitoshi petted her head.

She nodded. "I guess not. This'll be fun."

Later that evening.

Kahoko was in the gym, using the leg press.

"Sano."

She looked up to see Shoto taking position on the machine next to her. "Todoroki." She smiled a little.

"About the training camp, did your teacher say anything about which pro-heroes are going?"

She stopped what she was doing. "No, he just said a few will be there including All Might."

He took a deep breath. "I thought I should warn you that my dad is on that list."

Her eyes widened.

"I can tell him to leave you alone, but I doubt he would drop out altogether, I don't think he'd want to miss this opportunity to show off."

She reached out and placed her hand on his. "Thanks for the thought, but I'm gonna have to face him sooner or later."

He nodded. "I guess so. But remember that you don't have to see him alone. If you need me or Bakugo with you, just say."

She smiled. "I'll be alright." She thought for a bit. "Me and Hitoshi are planning to go to the arcades on Saturday, do you wanna join us?"

He shrugged. "I don't wanna intrude."

She pouted. "You'll not be intruding… I want you to be there."

He did the unthinkable… he looked into her eyes. "Well then, alright." And he couldn't say no.

"Yay!" She grinned.

He flushed a little. "You shouldn't do that…" He mumbled.

She tilted her head to the side. "What?"

He didn't meet her gaze in fear he may do something stupid again. "Look so bloody cute when you want something." So, I say something stupid anyway!

Her cheeks burned, but she began to giggle. "People say I can be very persuasive."

He nodded. "They're right."

"Must be a trait to my quirk." She mused.

He shook his head. I really don't think it is part of your quirk…
