Episode 3: Friends

Todoroki:

The next morning for some reason the boys didn't show up. I mean.. Kirishima, Bakugo, Deku, and Todoroki. Which is unusal because Eijiro and Shoto always wake up early. This time Koji and Sato made breakfast for the others. Since Sato is a huge fan of sugar thanks to his quirk, they made waffles. Almost everyone finished their breakfast when suddenly Kirishima and Deku appeared.

Kaminari: Good morning you sleepyheads.

Kirishima: You too.

Deku: Morning!

Kaminari: Do you know anything about Todoroki and Bakugo?

Deku and Kirishima looks at each other and shake their faces.

Kirishima: We went to our rooms right after we talked.

Deku: But it was just the three of us, I haven't seen Todoroki.

Kaminari: Right.. Interesting.

Jiro: Denki are you coming?

Kaminari: Sure! See you guys in school.

After they left the dorms Kirishima went to check on Bakugo while Deku visited Todoroki.

He was sitting in his chair in front of the mirror as he tried his clothes on. Somehow he wanted to look good today, but he didn't really know what to wear, so he kept changing his outfit. He wore a red and black checked shirt, he was about to button it, when someone knocked on the door.

Hope they don't want to come in, I'm not in the mood to talk.

Since, he didn't answer to the knocking, the door opened and Deku stepped in.

Deku: Oh.. Sorry to bother you, but you didn't come to eat. Is there any problem?

Why does it matter anyways?

Todoroki: I wasn't hungry.

Deku: Oh.. Okay. Are you coming to school today?

Todoroki: Sure, I just don't know what to wear.

Deku: This shirt looks good. Put on some black jeans, it is dripping.

I wasn't even planning to wear this but.. I guess I changed my mind.

Todoroki: Thanks.

Deku: See you in school!

In the corridor he meets with Kirishima.

Deku: Bakugo?

Kirishima: He's not coming to school today. You were right, something is totally not okay here. What about Todoroki?

Deku: He is going to come, he had troubles making his outfit today.

Kirishima: Why? What is today?

Deku: I don't know.

Kirishima: Weird.

When they arrived to the school almost everyone was sitting in their tables. Deku sat down right behind Bakugo's spot and started reading his notes. He started muttering when suddenly someone touched his shoulder. He turned around and it was Todoroki.

Todoroki: What do you think?

Deku: Awesome! I like this outfit.

This is what I wanted to hear. Wonder why are my hands shaking.

Todoroki sat down to his place next to Momo and Jiro.

Yaoyorozu: You look good today, Todoroki. Is it a special day?

Jiro: Yeah, this fit is cool.

Todoroki: Thank you. No it's not, actually.

I just wanted to look good. Why is that a big deal?

Aizawa entered the room and the lesson started. After classes Bakugo, Kirishima and Deku started talking while the others were leaving the classroom. Todoroki tried to pack his things slowly so he could hear some parts of the conversation.

Kirishima: Why did you skip the first 3 lessons?

Bakugo: It's none of your business.

Deku: The old Bakugo is back..

Kirishima: I'm serious, dude. You can't be missing classes, Aizawa will kill you.

Bakugo: It is not going to happen again.

Deku: Right, are you going to tell us what happened?

Bakugo: I already told you not to talk about it.

Kirishima: You told us you are going to!

Bakugo looks towards Todoroki and starts to speak softly: Not here..

Deku looks up and he makes eye contact with Todoroki.

He is looking at me. Shit, I can't be staring at him like that.

He looked away and Deku got back to the conversation: Okay, I gotta go, I'll text you guys in the evening.

Todoroki picked up his bag and left the room. As he was walking through the tables he could hear Kirishima asking, what is Midoriya going to do.

Why does this matter to you anyways? I should stop making it a big deal when really.. It isn't. I just like him for helping people, I can't be rude just because he tries to help others. Ridiculous.

He hears steps right behind him. The steps are getting closer and closer, suddenly someone touches his shoulder. He looks behind him and it is him.

Deku: Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

What does he even want from me?

Todoroki: Sure, what is it?

Deku starts panting.

What the ****..?

Deku: Can you.. Can you stop running..? I can't breathe.

Oh shit..

He stopped and waited for him to start speaking.

Deku: I wanted to apologise.

Todoroki: Why?

Deku: Because we started to talk about something you wasn't aware of. And Bakugo made it cristal clear that he didn't want you to hear it.

Todoroki: It is not your task to apologise for that and he is not supposed to do that, you guys were talking with each other I was just.. in a wrong place at a wrong time.

Deku: Well.. I don't think so. Anyways I didn't want to make you feel like you are the topic or something..

Todoroki: Thanks, it is a nice gesture.

Really I just wanted to be a part of something. Is it that hard? I mean I don't really have friends here. He was the only one who tried to act friendly to me but then I guess I just scared him away. Am I the problem? Is it true that I am cold-hearted and that's why people don't like me?

Deku: Well.. I gotta go, but we can hang out sometimes. If you are interested.

Wait, what?

Todoroki: Sure.

Of course I am interested.

Deku: Nice! I'll talk to you later, bye!

Todoroki: Bye!

He want to hang out with me. He want to spend time with me. Does it mean that we are friends now? Sometimes I feel like I am the antisocial in the class and I don't doubt that but.. I just don't know how to do that. It is not as easy for me as for Deku. He is always laid-back and calm, he always knows how to talk to people. He understands them. I don't. People just want autograph or help. Like Yaoyorozu. She never told me that we should hang out or something. She just wanted to learn. Guess I am better off alone.
