It was a cool day in Musutafu, and Deku was doing a bit of shopping. He didn't mind shopping too much because as far as he was concerned, it was good exercise. While he was cognizant of the fact that a villain attack could happen at any moment, he tried not to let the possibility consume every fiber of his being and just went on about his business. Given how smoothly things were going, though, he figured that this would just be another day.

"Excuse me…"

Deku figured wrong the moment he turned around. Standing behind him was none other than Enji Todoroki, Todoroki's father, better known as the #1 hero Endeavor. Deku did his best to stay calm.

"Oh…hello, Endeavor. How are you doing today?"

"I'm doing all right. I do, however, need to have a talk with you, Deku."

Deku began sweating nervously and trembling. "Um…about what?"

"I understand you've been dating my daughter Shoko for a few months now."

"And…?"

Endeavor looked around briefly before leaning in closer to Deku, as if to whisper something to him:

"I'm actually really proud of both of you. Not only does it warm my heart to know that you're treating her well, but it makes me happy knowing that she's happier, too."

Deku raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yes. Don't tell Shoko I said this. You understand?"

Deku nodded. "Yes, and I PROMISE I'll keep treating her as well as I possibly can!"

"Good. Hopefully, you two will become the greatest heroes that the world has ever known. Have a nice day."

"Um…you too!"

Endeavor walked away, while Deku stared at him, just wondering what had gotten into him. By all of Todoroki's accounts, this man was a brutal, unforgiving father who only saw her as a weapon to become a greater hero than All Might. Why he was suddenly so proud of his creation was beyond the green bean, but eventually, he decided to stop puzzling it out and continue shopping.

"Hey, Deku."
Deku spun around and yelped, only to find that a very familiar, very friendly face was behind him:

"Oh…hey Shoko! Glad to see you!"

"I'm glad to see you too, but…I saw you with my father. What did he want?"

"Oh, he just wanted to wish me luck in my career as a hero."

Todoroki stroked his chin. "That's strange coming from him, but understandable, I suppose."

"Anyways, while we're out, I was wondering if you wanted to have lunch with me."

Todoroki smiled. "Sure!"

Deku and Todoroki held hands as they walked on. Despite the unusual encounter with Endeavor, Deku vowed to do his best and to help Todoroki do her best, too.

Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
