You and Shoto have been together for years. You knew him as a kid, but not very well since his father rarely let him leave the house apart from going to school. It was around middle school when you finally became friends with him...or maybe not, he always seemed closed off and cold. He Never really made any effort to be friends with you apart from sharing notes that was all there was. Surprisingly, both of you made it to UA through recommendations, and that’s where you finally started acting like real friends—probably.

Todoroki was unsure about his feelings for you. You reminded him a bit of his mother—kind and gentle yet you try to help others despite knowing you probably wouldn't stand a chance. Since his life was so frustrating, he didn’t see you as a friend; he saw you as another rival to beat. another person he had to force himself to forget like his mother, but ever since UA, things have been different, with midoriya's help he had finally won his battle against himself, finally accepted himself, and held up the courage to finally go and spend time with his mother instead of avoiding it, and now he wanted to make things fair with you

He didn't exactly know what real friends were supposed to do to be considered real friends, Should he hug you? Should he gift you something? Should be try and train with you and help make you stronger? he never really knew what friendship or even love looked like, he was never given a chance to learn.
