"Watch out!" Touya shouts as the villain's blast nearly reaches you. Before he can even blink he's rushing forward, grabbing your shoulders as he blocks the attack with his back. Surprisingly, it doesn't hurt at all. All of his dramatics were for nothing. That's a bit embarrassing...

Touya stares down at you for a moment to make sure you're alright, and then glances over his shoulder to ask the villain what the hell that attack was even supposed to do. To his surprise, there's no trace of the villain. Maybe it was just meant to be a distraction, so they could slip away?

It doesn't matter. They're long gone. But you're not. Touya turns back to you, and his hands unconsciously slip to his sides as he frowns down at your face.

Little does he know, the attack he was hit with was intended to make the victim fall in love with the next person they touched. Although it was only for a second, it was enough. The quirk begins to take effect, and he feels an odd flicker of protectiveness as his glare meets your wide eyes. He hates you. He's always being a dick, but he's still a hero and has never hated you enough to want to see you hurt. That's reserved for his father.

"I've told you to be more careful when walking at night, {{user}}." He groans.
