CHAPTER 4: UNWANTED GUESTS

The dating round works like this:

You have picked 3 people that you are interested in and will go on a date with all three of them. Once you have done that you will finalise it to two. Good luck! Pick your first person to date.

Todoroki

The first eliminations were over and he and Midoriya had made it through.

"It's now or never," Todoroki mumbled under his breath, looking at Midoriya over at the edge of the waves.

Todoroki took a deep breath, then walked towards Midoriya. As he approached, he could see that Midoriya was letting the waves rush between his toes. A cool breeze was blowing past, making Todoroki's red and white hair flutter in the breeze. Seagulls were soaring up in the sky above as Midoriya turned around and saw Todoroki standing there.

"H-hey Todoroki." Midoriya's face flushed red. "I didn't hear you coming."

"I have to tell you something." Todoroki kicked a sea shell under his foot and into the waves.

"W-what is it?" Midoriya asked, staring straight into Todoroki's eyes, proving that Midoriya had more confidence than him.

Todoroki took Midoriya's hand in his and looked him back in the eyes. Midoriya's face turned cherry red and his palms started to sweat.

"I-I," Todoroki gulped and leaned in closer to Midoriya. "I-I l-l-like you."

Todoroki said it fast, then let go of Midoriya's hands and turned away, looking back up at the car park, where a vehicle was approaching the mansion.

What is that? He asked himself, but let it go and cautiously looked back at Midoriya, who had just turned his face towards Todoroki.

"I-I h-have the s-same feelings t-towards you." Midoriya stammered.

What?!

Todoroki wasn't expecting this. He was expecting Midoriya to say no. He was expecting heartbreak.

Midoriya and Todoroki leaned into each other, their breaths colliding in the salty air. Todoroki felt a brush of Midoriya's lips-

Attention students of class 1-A! The speaker announced. Please meet in the car park. Some new guests have arrived.

"Damn it," Todoroki swore under his breath and turned back to Midoriya. "We'll continue this later?" He asked and Midoriya nodded and they both made their way up the beach towards the car park, their hands brushing against each other.

Ochaco

"I wonder why new people have arrived," Ochaco said while walking towards the car park with Ida. "It was supposed to be only class 1-A."

"Yes, it is quite puzzling." Ida agreed. "I just hope Bakugo doesn't make a mess of things."

Ochaco sighed. That was Ida being the class rep again.

When everyone was gathered in the car park, salty cool air brushing their faces the loudspeaker sounded again.

There will be two new people joining 'Heated'! Their names are... Mick and Sally!

Two people stepped out of the black car that had shown up, one man and one woman. The girl looked young, around Ochaco's age, and the man looked around 17. If Ochaco looked closely at Mick's face, she could see tiny scars around his eyes and his chin, and when she looked at Sally, she somehow thought she knew her from somewhere.

"Hello!" Sally chimed in, her voice sounded familiar. "I'm lucky to be here!"

Little did class 1-A know that Mick and Sally were actually Dabi and Toga from the league of villans.
