A/N: All right, now that we've gotten the horror month-themed chapters out of the way, it's time for something more lighthearted!
In contrast to how he usually slept and woke up, Deku decided to wake up early to catch a taste of the Musutafu sunrise. After eating breakfast, he was drinking a cup of his favorite Sencha green tea when he heard knocking on his door.
"Coming!"
Deku opened his door, and…
"Good morning, Deku!"
Standing at his doorstep was none other than Todoroki, who was dressed in a red sports bra, white vintage-style running shorts with red stripes, and red/green/white running shoes. Deku smiled and did his best to keep his composure even though he couldn't help but notice how drop-dead hot she was.
"Hey Shoko, what brings you here this morning?"
"Well, I was going on a morning run, and I wanted to invite you along!"
Deku gave a thumbs up. "Great! Just let me get ready…"
After brushing and flossing, Deku dressed up for his run, wearing only a pair of aqua green running shorts and his favorite red kicks. Then, him and Todoroki went out for a run. While Deku enjoyed feeling the breeze against his skin while running, it somehow felt cooler and more refreshing with Todoroki by his side. As much fun as he was having with this run, however, he couldn't help but think about how uninhibited she seemed in her current outfit. As far back as he'd known her, she'd struck him as the type to dress more modestly. He figured that all the love and support that he – and by extension, the rest of Class 1-A – had given her had also raised her confidence to the point where she couldn't care less about what people thought about her mode of dress, and he admired confident women, especially considering that he thought she had a nice body.
"Thanks for joining me, Deku! I love running, but I feel like this is more fun with you joining in!"
"You're welcome! I'm only too glad to do this!"
Todoroki's look grew more serious. "There is, however, one thing I can't really get over…"
Deku's look turned serious, too. "What?"
"As much as I love running, it was really hard to find a sports bra in my size. I looked in every store that I could in this country, and all of the ones I found were too small for me, so I had to import the ones I bought."
"That's odd. You'd figure that with girls like you, Yaoyorozu, Ashido and Hagakure that more Japanese sportswear companies would offer sports bras in larger sizes."
"I figured too, but I guess not."
"On that note, you don't mind me asking you a question, do you?"
"Go ahead."
"What is your size, anyways?"
Todoroki smiled. "I'm an F90*."
Deku nodded. "I see."
"That aside, I really love this sports bra because not only is it comfortable, but it's very supportive."
"I wouldn't know too much about that, but I'm glad you found one that's right for you."
"Deku, you're so sweet!"
After running for a bit, Todoroki gently tugged at Deku's arm, so he stopped when she did.
"Yes?" said Deku.
"Why don't we take a break for now?"
Deku nodded. "OK."
Todoroki led Deku to a nearby bench, which happened to be facing Dagoba Beach. There, they sat down, and Todoroki wrapped an arm around Deku.
"You wanted to see the sunrise?" said Deku.
"Of course! I've been waiting for a good opportunity to see the sunrise with my favorite guy!"
Deku wrapped an arm around Todoroki. "And you said I was sweet! Well, I was on my way to catch the sunrise when you showed up!"
"Then that works out perfectly for both of us!"
And thus, Deku and Todoroki basked in each other's company as they watched the sun rise over Musutafu. It was the perfect cherry on top of their exercise sundae.
*-In American size, that would be 40DD.
Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
