Chapter 2

Holding her own against a villain she was not using her full power but she was looking for weaknesses she could exploit when another villain came at her from the right. She had enough time to block but she was thrust back against hard concrete.

Strands of her long hair came out of her braid and fell over her eyes as she quickly swiped it back. She was heading back into the fight when she saw the ice wall quickly cut her off from one of the villains. She realized Todoroki had just gotten there and was going to help take care of the other one while she finished the first one.

After a quick take down and capture Todoroki and she headed toward their agency after a job well done.

"Want to get some soba before we head home?" Asked Todoroki when she came out in her civilian clothes. Her long curly hair slightly damp from a half-assed job of blow drying it.

"You really love your soba." She said with a sigh and a head shake, but she didn't mind doing whatever her boyfriend wanted. She did love to see him happy.

He grinned dorkily at her. Earning him a pfft from her followed by an array of giggles. "Not as much as I love you."

She immediately stopped knowing her face was turning red. After dating for five years they were now comfortable with each other. Yet the change in Todoroki had been just as noticeable as her gender change. He had become more open and affectionate. (Mostly towards her, but he didn't hide it from anyone.) Which surprised everyone.

Walking side by side they made their way to his favorite restaurant, their hands tightly clasped together in between them as they walked.

"It was lucky you came by when you did earlier." She made idle conversation since his hand seemed to be sweating even when it was his usually cold side. Something was bugging him and she wanted to find out what.

"Oh, well I actually heard from the agency where you were so I came by to see if you needed help." He said while looking straight ahead.

"That's nice of you." She swung their hands in an effort to make him look at her, but he continued with his forward gaze. Pursing her lips, she was wondering if she should just ask him straight out when he finally turned to her.

"We're off for the next two days, right?" He asked suddenly.

"Yes...?" she replied confused, since he knew this. They had their schedules almost identical.

"Change of plans." He said quickly as he hailed a taxi.

"Oh?" He began to pull her arm and they crossed the street and into the taxi cab. "Where we going?" She asked once inside.

He gave her a reassuring smile as he handed the driver his cellphone with an address on it. "You'll see."

So even with the reassurance he gave her she still couldn't stop herself from wringing her hands. She was looking out the window and saw that they were leaving the city and were headed out further into more residential areas.

At last the taxi stopped and they were in front of a traditional looking inn, but on closer inspection it was a restaurant as well. She'd never been there before so she gawked at it a little longer while Todoroki paid the fair and quickly helped her out.

Always the perfect gentleman.

Keeping hold of her hand he led her inside with him and the place was beautiful they were led to their own tatami room while they were brought traditional food and had a beautiful view of the relaxing garden.

"Ok, so why did you end up changing plans?"

He shrugged, "I wanted to be spontaneous."

"I see." She ate her food with a gnawing sensation that something big was going to happen but she didn't know what. Maybe she just wasn't feeling good. Maybe her fight earlier had done something to her and she just didn't know. They ate in silence. Hardly being able to taste the food she just lightly picked at it.

He placed a hand on hers startling her out of her inner ramblings. "You okay?"

"That's what I wanted to ask you."

He looked at her confused, but merely shook it off. "Yeah I'm fine." he smiled once again. "I just wanted to change it up a little. I hope you like it here."

"Yeah, it's nice here."

He let out a sigh of relief. "Would you like to stay the night?" He asked lightly.

Now her face seemed to burst into flames as she thought of the idea. Nodding slowly, she looked down at her hands while doing so. She was too embarrassed to look him in the eye.

"Alright wait here while I reserve the room." He quickly stood and before leaving kissed the top of her curly olive-green hair. "I'll be right back." He rushed out of there like if he was in danger.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down. She could feel the tension in the air, but didn't know what was happening.

Maybe he wanted to break up? He was her first boyfriend... well her first anything since she never dated anyone before him. Would she be able to handle the break up? She thought they had been doing okay. Hadn't they? Had she been to clingy? Maybe not affectionate enough? Sure, there were times he would initiate this and that, but she was scared. Was she reacting correctly? Or did he finally think that all of this was weird and he wanted to stop already?

She couldn't blame him since this was very weird.

He came back though with a huge smile on his face. "Let's go for a walk in the gardens before we go to our suite." he offered her his hand, which she took.

She nodded, "Okay."

This was it. He was going to tell her and then that would be it.

"So... I wanted to talk to you." he said suddenly stopping by the Koi pond. "We've been to-"

"Wait! Wait-wait." She stopped him quickly. "I know what you are going to say, but first just let me tell you this." She took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes and spoke seriously. "You and I have been together for many years now and I am so very happy for all those memories. You've loved and cherished me just as much as I have. And I will probably continue loving you for many years to come-"

He pulled her into a tight embrace peppering her face with kisses. "I love you now and forever too." Letting her go he kneeled down in front of her hand held out a royal blue box. He opened it and it had a very simple ring resting on the velvety cushion. "Will you spend this forever with me?"

She stood there motionless.

"So, he wasn't breaking up with me he wanted to propose. I was prepared for him to say he wanted to end this and now I don't know what to do." She began to mutter to herself as she watched him kneeling there.

He looked confused for a moment before chuckling. "Will you be mine?" he asked again cutting her off from continuing in that spiral.

She looked him in the eyes once again her eyes began to get brighter with what he imagined were tears. And she merely nodded. "Of course!"

He took her hand and placed the ring on her slender delicate fingers. "You worried me there." He said after a kiss and a tight hug.

"You? I was sweating bullets thinking you were going to break up with me."

He cocked his head to the side even more confused, "Why would you think that?" He asked looking at her for an explanation.

She looked away, "Well you were acting weird. I just thought you got tired of being with me."

He began to laugh, "And you thought I would bring you out here for a nice meal and get a room to break up with you?"

She felt so embarrassed, "Don't question it. That's just what I thought."

After he laughed it all out of his system, he kissed her ring finger and then her cheek. "I will never let you go. Not now or ever." He said seriously.

She got a shiver down her spine, but it too made her giddy. "You won't be able to go back on your words."

"I don't plan to ever."

It was rare for her to initiate a kiss so when she did so he felt like the luckiest man alive. "I'll have to get one for you."

He shook his head and brought a ring out as well and place it on his finger. Wiggling his finger, he let her see it. "Don't worry. I got one too."

She looked at it and seemed to think for a moment, and took his hand. She slipped the ring off and looked at him, "I really hate that I didn't get one for you... but at least let me put it on your finger."

He nodded and watched as she placed it on his finger.

He kissed her again as if to seal the deal.

He was holding onto her tightly when he whispered into her ear. "We should go to our suite and try for kids." He felt her shiver letting out the cutest squeak in surprise.
