You did a little stretch as you excitedly bounced on your soles waiting for your brother to finish up. He is just finishing up, so you will be able to see him when he returns to this gate.
When he has you shyly approached him tucking a strand behind your ear. "S-Shoto.."
Without a word, he passed by you. His eyes downcast and his expression solemn and tired. Quickly you moved to grab a little of his uniform with a worried face. "Are you okay?" You innocently ask.
Shot noticed the strain of a grip you had on the fabric and his eyes softened at you. He raised his hands to pet your head before he roughly pulled away and walked on.
You felt your lips shape a frown. 'So confusing...' You thought watching him leave without sparing a glance, 'Do you hate me or not? You just love to hide your emotions all the time, sometimes it's hard for me to guess if you find me testing or not...' You let out a tired sigh before popping your neck and hopping on your toes.
'Fine if that is how you want to do it then... Then...!' A pout just couldn't help but force its way on your lips. Your self-doubt and insecurities just weighed on your shoulder.
"Are you ready!!?"
The loud voice startles you to snap out of your thought, you trusted your conflicting and confusing emotions to the back of your mind, no way are you gonna let this mess you up. Or else Bakugo would have your head and you don't want that.
You stepped out of the gateway with a smile the excited, roaring group never fails to hyphen you up!
"Another Todoroki? This will be interesting! Related to the half hot half cold man from the hero course, Todoroki (Y/N) from the general department!" You felt shy having your name be announced to the crowd, looking up to the people you gave a small wave.
"Versus!-- Is something going to come out of those horns? Well? From the hero course, it's Mina Ashido," Ashido grinned at you feeling your determined energy seeping from through the air. "It's a battle of the pink! Who will rise to be the top pink girl?!"
"Good luck to you!" You delightfully yelled at her. "Thanks! Give me your best shot!" Replied the girl with yellow horns sticking out of her soft pink hair.
On the stands, her classmates watch with anticipation. "Mina, you can do it!" Her green-haired girl classmate cheer.
"Go fight!!!!" Exclaimed the male with the purple grapes on his head bursting with energy, "Fight like those street fighter games where the clothes get ripped off!!!"
"What are you? A scum??" His classmate cries out a bit disappointed with how he is thinking.
"Ashido should win this for sure!" One of Bakugo's teammates, Sero, comment to Kirishima who looked unsure and conflicted. "I don't know... I wanna cheer for both of them though..." He pouts before concluding to cheer for them both anyways.
"Well, I think her opponent might have a chance to win...
She is the sister of Todoroki..." A brown-haired female beside Midoriya, Ochako, informed her two friends who scratched their cheeks. "But she is in the General Department, so I am not sure." Leaning over to them with a grin, Kirishima commented enthusiastically.
"I wouldn't worry about her!" He chirped with a toothy grin, "After all, Bakugo and her are best of friends!"
His comment brought shock to his classmates. Especially the childhood friend of the blonde. 'If Kacchan has gotten along with her enough that Kirishima can see them as friends then... She might be stronger than what she first seems.'
'Or maybe that's what you'd expect... But Kacchan doesn't normally hang with people whom he doesn't have mutual respect with. So maybe--'
"Fifth match, start!"
On his call, you cupped your hands together in a ball-like formation. 'Just this once' you chanted and with a deep breath directed your concentration to those hands. Forming in a flicker of light in a soft shade of pink, you grew the beautiful ball of light to the size of a small rubber ball.
'What is that??' Ashido thought as she notices the bright sphere from afar. It had a magnetic pull to it and from afar she can see sort of light particles drawing close to her opponent who wasted no second to toss the orb at her with incredible speed.
Ashido gasped in fright and quickly jumped over the orb. In the air, she released her acid and skated around the arena towards you.
You noticed her approach and quickly made another ball and again you threw it at her who successfully dodged it and the many more that you sent her way. You bit your lip as the nearing of your opponent drew an exciting feeling to pump through your veins.
"Here I come!" Ashido yells charging towards you slipped out a startled gasp jumping to the side to dodge her sweep of hands.
Your landing was rather rough, you accidentally stumbled on your feet and felt gravity take advantage of you pulling you towards him. But you didn't allow the pull to dominate you and quickly got back to your feet only to slide away before Ashido could land a hit on you.
"Looks like that Todoroki-girl is having a hard time with class A, Ashido! Is this the end of the road for her??" Asked Present Mic who kept hyping the crowd to watch more.
You bit your lip when you heard him speaking that you are no match for your opponent. You were clearly holding back, and those who know you well can clearly see it too.
"Bakugo, your friend seemed to be having some trouble." Kaminari mused attempting to see how Bakugo would react to your battle. But he was disappointed when he got no reaction in return, "Man, he's no fun," he pouted earning a pat from Sero who commented.
"It's obvious that Ashido is going to win."
"Todoroki!!! Fight on!!!" The class jumped as the voice of Tetsutetsu screamed from class B's sitting area right next to them.
"Go Todoroki!" Added the voice of Kendo as well as Honenuke
"If you lose then maybe you shouldn't be in the hero course, so you better not" How many people were taken back from Monoma's comment was a lot as they stared wide eyes at his comment. He was actually rooting for you.
All this encouragement that was just for you made someone feel guilty for staying quiet. When was the lest time he can recall calling out to you just to cheer you on.
The fact that he can't remember made him feel worse. 'Is this why you don't want to be with me anymore?' he worriedly thought parting his lips to say something as well but it was all caught in his throat as he recognized what you're doing right now.
'But you disobeyed me and used it...' He was upset that you didn't obey him as you used to and as petty as he has been acting for the recent week, he placed his foot down to give you the cold shoulder that was meant to be your punishment.
Hearing the people call out your name made you smile as you dodged another attack of your opponent. Ashido swung again getting in close contact with you making you smirk as the lean of her body brought momentum towards you.
once again you called the light in your palm causing her to shriek as you thrust it towards her chest but she was able to get her footing on the last second and leaned to the side to dodge.
Her heart palpitated on a billion miles per hour with her breath held and her adrenaline on high.
Unintentionally, she raised her hand to block more as she dodged but due to her excitement in her blood acid spewed out in large amounts landing on your upper uniform causing you to reel back in surprise.
"
YEEEESSSSS!!!!!!" cheers Mineta as he watched with oogling eyes waiting to see your trip down to see your luscious fruits though protectively covered with maybe your undergarments. His excitement ended up angering someone and without any remorse shot a hand straight to his face to show how close the blonde was to killing him. At the same time his purple-haired classmate, Jiro shot a jack to the pierce the pervy male's head causing him to double the pain.
Watching the usual antisocial blonde to defend you was proof of how much the blonde respected and cared for you. It caught his childhood friend by surprise as well as your brother who also was ready to threaten Mineta but was beaten to it by the other two.
Bakugo practically soared from his seat at the edge all the way to Mineta just to threaten him to not disrespect you.
"I am so sorry!" Ashido squeaked watching you analyze the damage on your uniform. You gave her a sweet smile before zipping the clothing off to reveal a sleeveless high collar crop top that hugged your form stopping just above your abdominal region.
"It's fine!" You chirp folding your uniform and laying in at the side before returning with a stance that meant business. "It gave me a great opportunity to let go."
"I fight better this way."
