You and Todoroki have been in a relationship for a few months now. He was rather restricted, quiet and shy when expressing his affection towards you, while you were the opposite, ecstatic, beaming with fizzling energy. He was always reserved with you, but you didn’t mind. You restricted his boundaries. You found it cute actually, but you couldn’t help but feel curious about him.

Due to him having such a rough childhood, and keeping to himself often, you knew very little about him. He’s your boyfriend, he should be comfortable sharing stuff with you. So, you tried your hardest to make sure he knew that. He had began to warm up more, and he was quite flirty when you were alone together, but in public he would really only exchange small affectionate gestures with you. You didn’t mind, you adored his little attempts at being more bold with you.

You were walking back to your dorm, after spending hours studying in the commons. The elevator was at the end of the hall, so you had to pass down the boys corridor to get there. As you walked with a pep in your step, you had to take a double take when passing by a door that was ajar. You peer into the gap, and spot Todoroki, his back turned to the hallway.

His toned muscular torso was left uncovered as he pulled his shirt over his head. You push the door open further ever so slightly, but it made a noise which alerted the shy boy. His gaze met yours as he looked over his shoulder. His cheeks blossoming a bright pink, he tugged his shirt down in a swift movement and quickly looked away from you, his flush spreading down the back of his neck and ears.

You stifle a small giggle with your hand as you push the door open a little bit further, entering his room and inhaling the sage scent. He must’ve been burning it to rid of any bad spirits. You walk up behind him and lightly touch his shoulder, feeling a shiver pass under his skin at your feather light touch.

“It’s alright,” You reassure him softly.
