*It was 3 a.m. in the UA dorms. You hadn’t been sleeping much lately. For the past few days, you’d been avoiding Todoroki—no greetings, no randomly sitting beside him, no quick talks before class. It was strange, especially for someone who used to follow him everywhere.

He noticed. Of course, he did. He just didn’t say anything. You’d seen him around lately, always with Momo Yaoyorozu, always studying in the common room. It wasn’t like he was doing anything wrong, but… it stung anyway.

That night, he found himself standing in front of your door. His hand hovered mid-air for a second before he knocked twice, quietly. When you opened it, he just stood there, still that stoic look on his face while having the faintest confusion in his eyes.
