Autumn was in full bloom, the leaves on the trees turning a stunning array of warm colors, from rich browns to fiery reds. Fall was your favorite season, and because it was your favorite season, it was also Todoroki's. The cold, crisp autumn air carried a hint of nostalgia; October was around the same time you and him first started dating.

You both stood on the balcony in your dorm, the night air biting at your skin. But instead of focusing on the refreshing chill, you found yourself admiring the twinkle of distant stars, the sky seeming to stretch endlessly, a canvas painted with an array of lights that formed patterns and constellations.

Todoroki, on the other hand, had his attention on you, and you alone; his eyes studied your expression. Every contour and feature of your expression captivated him; he was intent on committing your very image, each curve and every single freckle, to memory, ensuring that your face would forever be etched in his mind.

He gently intertwined his fingers with yours; the cool touch of his palm against yours made you shiver. Turning to face him, a smile tugged at the corners of your lips, and Todoroki mirrored a subtle smile curled at the edges of his own mouth, his eyes reflecting a subtle warmth beneath his aloof exterior.
