A/N: Personally, I don't care if people don't like my stories. I understand that TodoDeku isn't in everyone's taste, and I understand I''m not the best writer in the world, which is why I'm perfectly fine with people critiquing my works. However, I DO NOT AND WILL NOT TOLERATE people leaving rude reviews on ANY of my works. If you attempt to troll, harass or otherwise be rude to me, you WILL be blocked and you WILL face the consequences. That aside, I hope all of you enjoy this chapter.


It was a peaceful Saturday afternoon in the dorms for Todoroki as she played Doom II on her laptop, with David curled up by her side. This week's classes hadn't been any more difficult than usual, but they had given her a fair challenge, nevertheless, which was why she valued the weekends. Plus, she had a feeling that her dear Deku was going to visit any minute now, and she always looked forward to seeing him. Having a dog increased that anticipation, too. Sure enough, she heard knocking on her door, so she paused the game.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and sure enough, Deku entered, much to David's delight. The little terrier yapped and eagerly ran over to the green bean.

"Hey David!"

Deku bent down to pet David.

"How's my favorite doggy doing today, huh? How are you doing today?"

Once again, David eagerly panted at having one of his favorite humans pet him. Speaking of humans…

"Hello to you too, Deku." Todoroki smiled.

"Hey, Shoko!"

Once again, Deku and Todoroki gave each other a big hug and kiss, the warm and fuzzy feelings as strong as ever.

"So, what's up?" asked Todoroki.

"You know that I love you, right?"

Todoroki nodded. "Of course."

Deku's look turned serious. "Well, I was thinking about how much I love you, and I wanted to tell you but I…well…" Deku rubbed the back of his head. "…I just couldn't find the right words to say."

Todoroki's look turned serious. "Why are you so concerned about finding the right words to say? I promise I'll still love you even if you can't get them out."

"I know I shouldn't fret over this, but…well…since I'm having so much trouble finding the right words, I decided I'd tell you with a song."

"A song?" Todoroki smiled. "Now you've got me intrigued. Do play it for me."

Deku smiled. "OK…here goes…"

Deku pulled out his phone, and he put on "All Time High" by Rita Coolidge. Todoroki smiled and clasped her hands together when she heard the opening saxophone, and she grabbed Deku's hands.

"May I have this dance?" asked Todoroki.

Deku nodded, and they proceeded to dance around the dorm. For Deku, this was one of the most magical moments of his life. Sure, he'd had his fair share of happy memories with Todoroki, but this was by far one of the most memorable. He could tell by the sparkle in her eyes that she really appreciated the gesture, which not only meant volumes to him, but also caused him to hear his own heart beating. After going through his fair share of battles against some of the most evil villains that had ever walked the earth in addition to some other traumatic events involving friends, it was the greatest relief ever for him to be sharing another romantic occasion with his bicolor girlfriend. All he wanted to do was dance with her forever and ever, and he was sure she was thinking the same of him. Right now, everything felt like heaven to him.

Todoroki was taking her own little slice of heaven as well. Every day that she continued to be in love with Deku, the pain of her earlier life laboring under Endeavor lessened and lessened. All she wanted to do was spend every waking moment of her life with this adorable little green bean. Her initial concern over his inability to find the right words had pretty much dissipated by now, to be replaced by gratefulness, gratefulness for having a boyfriend who knew how to express his love in many different ways. Even if the future was not set in stone, she simply couldn't imagine spending her life with another boy. He meant so much to her that she wanted to do every romantic thing with him until they both died of happiness.

Meanwhile, David sat down and looked upon the whole scene with curiosity. Even if he didn't grasp the concept of music, he could sense that Deku and Todoroki really loved each other and were happy, which made him feel good as well. Soon enough, the song ended, and Deku and Todoroki gazed deeply into each other's eyes.

"Deku…that…that was the sweetest, most heartfelt thing you've ever said to me. You're so adorably romantic!"

"Awww, thank you, Shoko! I'm glad you appreciated the gesture!"

"Just one question…"

"Yes?"

"How did you know I was secretly a fan of Rita Coolidge?"

Deku chuckled. "I didn't…not until you told me just now!"

Todoroki giggled. "Fair enough! Anyways, why don't we snuggle?"

"Great idea!"

Deku and Todoroki lied down on the latter's bed and snuggled, ready to take on the world and win.


Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
