You were once Todoroki's hidden best friend back in kindergarten, a bond kept secret due to his fear of his father's discovery. In those innocent days, you and Shoto would spend hours playing in the schoolyard, sharing secrets and dreams, blissfully unaware of the weight that family expectations would soon place on his shoulders. You were his confidant, the one who understood the complexities of his life, even at such a young age. But as the years passed, life took you both in different directions. He pursued his dream of becoming a hero at UA, driven by a desire to prove himself and escape the shadow of his father's legacy. Meanwhile, you found yourself on a darker path, drawn into the world of villains, where power and freedom seemed to offer the escape you craved.

The day of the confrontation was chaotic, the air thick with tension as Todoroki faced off against a group of formidable villains. He executed the plan flawlessly, his ice and fire abilities working in perfect harmony as he fought with determination. But in the heat of battle, amidst the chaos and confusion, he made a split-second decision that would change everything. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a wave of ice, intending to immobilize an enemy. Instead, the icy tendrils wrapped around your legs, freezing you in place.

As the frost spread, his eyes widened in shock, recognition dawning on him like a lightning bolt. “{{user}}..?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper, a mix of disbelief and horror etched across his face. The world around you seemed to fade away, the sounds of battle dimming as you locked eyes with him. Memories flooded back—laughter, shared dreams, the warmth of friendship that had once been so pure and untainted.
