Now, as mentioned in 38: Jealousy Part One - (y/n)'s POV, I present the same story line but all from Todoroki's POV! So, it's exactly the same at both Part One and Part Two of Jealousy but it's from his POV. The set up will be the same, two parts each with three mini titled sections in. Hope this makes sense!
One: The Start of UA
Two: The Sports Festival
Three: The Beach Day
Quirk: Bunny
One: The Start of UA
I walked up to the grand tall building called UA High School, ready to become a Pro Hero. I tried my hardest to block my arrogant dad from my mind, determined not to follow down the path of cruelty he went down.
I found my assigned seat in the classroom and simply sat down, ignoring everyone else around me. There was a brief moment however when into the classroom walked two girls, one with short brown hair and pink cheeks, whilst the other had (h/l) (h/c) hair with two rabbit ears poking out from it. She intrigued me and for some reason I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She glanced over to me, and that's when I saw she also had whiskers. As quickly as she had glanced over to me she looked away, turning back to the brunette next to her.
A yellow haired boy immediately approached her and started up a conversation, but I could tell she was uncomfortable by the awkward way she got out of the conversation and walked around the classroom to find her seat. To my surprise it turned out she was in the seat to my right, and before I could stop myself I glanced over at her again. A small part of me wanted to talk to her, but I fought against the urge as judging by her encounter with the yellow haired boy, she seemed timid and nervous. My thoughts drifted away as soon as our teacher came into the room, and began our first lesson of UA High School.

We had been at UA for a week now, and despite me knowing everyone's names I still kept to myself. I looked on at my peers though, judging their quirks and personalities, analysing who would be likely to come out on top and sizing up those I would have to compete against to become the number one Pro Hero. I had realised that (l/n) was very timid although judging by the quirk tests Aizawa had put us through on our first day, she had very strong legs and incredible senses. Her quirk intrigued me, but I refused to admit to myself that she looked a little bit cute...
Aizawa announced in class today that we were to hold rep elections, but claimed it was down to us and that he was going to take a nap whilst we decided. Iida announced we should do a democratic vote, and he began shouting out orders for everyone to follow. It seemed too apparent that he wanted to win.
"Hey everyone! (y/n)'s interested in becoming the rep!" Uraraka suddenly announced, taking me by surprise.
"Ochaco!" (y/n) squealed at her best friend, embarrassed.
"She's got my vote for sure," Kaminari winked at her, making her blush bright red. I personally couldn't see (y/n) becoming the class rep, as nice as she was she wasn't yet capable of leading a class. Yaoyorozu however seemed confident and intelligent, she seemed like a natural leader so when Iida came around collecting our votes, I voted for her. Once all the votes had been collected he began to read them out, announcing who voted for who as well as making a tally on the board at the front of the classroom.
Kaminari did indeed vote for (y/n), probably just to get in her good books, and Ochaco did too however what surprised me the most was that I had received a vote. (y/n) had voted for me, and I couldn't help but look at her, wondering why she would vote for me in the first place. She hid her head in her arms, refusing to look up from her desk.
Midoriya won the vote, Yaoyorozu becoming vice representative, however Midoriya soon gave up his vote and giving it to Iida. I still wondered throughout the day why (y/n) had chosen to vote for me in the first place, we had barely held a conversation together.
Two: The Sports Festival
Since the USJ attack a few weeks ago, the class had gotten closer to one another. As the weeks at UA went on, I became more intrigued by the bunny-quirked girl, glancing over to her occasionally before I could stop myself. The UA Sports Festival approached soon, and as we were all getting prepared for it, I became determined to win, only using my ice side. I refused to show my father my flames.
The first challenge consisted of an obstacle course, in which I finished second to Midoriya who overtook Bakugou and I at the very last second, aggravating me quite a bit. The next challenge was a cavalry battle, in which Midnight told us we could pick our own team of up to four people. I thought carefully about who I'd want in my team, trying to think of people's quirks and which would be most useful. A part of me wanted to approach (y/n) and ask her to be in my team, however I wasn't sure how effective her quirk would be in this challenge and if I wanted to win this, I had to pick the right people based on that.
I approached Yaoyorozu as I got on well with her and her quirk was rather impressive, as well as Iida. We also got Kaminari who completed our team, and I felt quite confident that we would succeed. (y/n) I had noticed joined Midoriya's team, and something sparked inside me but I wasn't sure what it was. Perhaps I should've asked her to be on my team...
Midnight blew the whistle and like everyone else we darted straight for Midoriya's team. We managed to grab his headband, however we didn't notice that Tokoyami's Dark Shadow had managed to catch a number of ours that were around our neck, meaning they had accumulated enough points to pass. I was irritated that Midoriya had managed to pass again but in a way I was happy that (y/n) had gotten one step closer to coming second or third.
Midnight announced that the next and final challenge was going to be one on one battles. I was put against Sero in my first battle, however as we had a break first I needed to confront Midoriya about my growing suspicions of the relationship between him and All Might. It was beginning to look too suspicious.
- Timeskip -
Midnight announced that it was time for the one on one battles to begin, and I heard her call out that the first match was between (y/n) and Iida. I stood in the tunnel, watching from the side lines, intrigued to see how her quirk was going to work in battle. As soon as Midnight blew the whistle she jumped up high, incredibly high. She easily dodged Iida's running attack, and every time she landed she would jump up high again, quicker then Iida could turn and run towards her. I was admittedly shocked at her skill, as I noticed she was slowly leading him towards the edge of the pitch without his even realising. He came very close to the edge of the pitch when suddenly she kicked him straight in the back, sending him flying way over the line. The crowd were cheering loudly for her, and it was fair to say I was impressed by her power.
Now came my turn against Sero, and due to the nature of the conversation I had just had with Midoriya I was desperate to show my old man my ice power and its strength, so I went a little overboard and froze half the stadium. I didn't mean to use so much force, however it was worth it to see the pissed off look on Endeavour's face. The matches continued and it wasn't long before I realised that my next match was going to be up against (y/n). A strange feeling began to swirling in my stomach, as I entered the arena, standing ready on the pitch. My opponent seemed nervous as she approached me timidly, and a small part of me didn't want to battle her in case I hurt her. She was looking anywhere but up at me, however as soon as Midnight blew the whistle she jumped high into the air.
I knew that that would be her first move so I shot ice from my feet, creating a barricade which she landed on and slide down towards me. I shot ice again but her powerful legs caused it to shatter, and she managed to land a kick right on my stomach, it's power sending me flying backwards. I got up quickly, impressed by her power but quickly shot ice at her, encasing her legs before she could dodge. With her main weapons out of use, I wondered how she was going to attack. She was struggling with feisty passion, and just before my ice wall could hit her she broke loose and jumped away. She dodged each ice spike I sent her way, getting close enough to suddenly raise her leg in an attempt to land a roundhouse kick on me. I managed to freeze her leg whilst it was in the air however, causing her to loose balance and fall over, giving me the opportunity to encase her in ice, which I took.
"(l/n), are you able to move?" Midnight called out and she shook her head. "(l/n) is unable to move! Todoroki wins!" And there were cheers all throughout the stadium. I bent down to her, a blush on her cheeks as I used my fire side to unfreeze her from the icy cage. I then offered my hand to her, helping her up and I saw her cheeks blush even more.
"Thank you for a good match. You're pretty powerful," I praised, and she looked up at me with a surprised expression. I tried to ignore the warmth beginning to come to my cheeks.
"Thanks... y-you're - erm - pretty powerful... too," she mumbled, looking anywhere but at me which was a good thing otherwise she would've seen my blush. Before I could say anything else however, she hoped away back to the tunnel. I couldn't help but stare at her as she went, unable to stop thinking about her timidness or the way she occasionally twitched her nose, or her whiskers, or the sweet way she talked. From that day on, I couldn't get that bunny-girl out of my head.
Three: The Beach Day
After the UA Sports Festival, as a class we had gotten closer. I felt comfortable around most in the class, and we had all gotten friendly with each other. I felt quite close with Midoriya, Iida and Yaoyorozu, however I wanted to get closer to (y/n), as she was beginning to attract more and more of my attention. I had never recalled feeling this way about anyone before, and I wasn't sure what it was about her that made me feel this way, perhaps her intelligence, her kindness, her timidness or the fact I found her very attractive.
The whole class had organised a day at the beach to have a break from the intense work and training we had to do at UA, and I happily attended knowing it was a chance to get to see (y/n) in an environment other then school. Both she and Uraraka were the last to join the class, and we had reserved sun-loungers for them as the beach was quite busy. Yaoyorozu was talking to me however I admittedly wasn't listening, just watching (y/n) settle down on the sun-lounger. "C'mon guys! Let's all go in the sea!" Ashido suddenly exclaimed excitedly, pointing towards the rippling water. Most people shouted 'yeah!' in response, and I mentally agreed. Just as I was about to walk into the sea with Yaoyorozu however, I heard Ashido speak up again. "(y/n), are you coming?"
"Er - no... you guys go ahead," she mumbled timidly. I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering why she didn't come in but Yaoyorozu suddenly distracted me by telling me to hurry up. I followed her into the sea, the rest of the class splashing in and throwing around an inflatable ball Kirishima had brought with him. I glanced back at (y/n) occasionally, wondering why she wasn't coming in the sea. I was tempted to ask Uraraka about it but I didn't want to make my feelings for her too obvious. She was simply reading her book, her small nose twitching from time to time which made me smile a little. I glanced over at the girls who were splashing water at each other, knowing that (y/n) would be having a fun time if she came into the water.
Again I looked back at my crush who was shuffling awkwardly, her eyes glued to her book. A splash of water on me suddenly woke me from my trance and I turned to see Yaoyorozu standing there with a smile on her face. "What was that for?" I asked.
"You're staring at (y/n)," she smiled suggestively.
"No I wasn't," I lied, trying not to blush.
"You were! Do you have a crush on her?" She asked in a whisper so no one overheard us.
"I don't know," I admitted awkwardly. "Maybe? I've never felt this way before."
"I think you do have a little crush, you've barely been able to keep your eyes off of her since the sports festival," she analysed. "You ought to try and talk to her more, I know she's timid but it'll help her come out of her shell!"
"I don't know about that," I mumbled.
"O-oh Todoroki... now might be your chance to help her," Yaoyorozu said and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"What do you mean 'help her'?" I asked. She nodded towards where (y/n) was sitting and there I saw three random guys harassing her, one getting rather close and actually touching her thigh. I gritted my teeth and was about to storm out of the sea, however Iida sped past me and got there first, telling the guys to go away. I was glad Iida had managed to get the guys away from her, but I wished it could've been me who saved her as he then sat down beside her, the pair of them smiling and talking.
The class then announced that they were going to do a bit of sunbathing, so I headed towards the sun-lounger on the other side of (y/n) but Uraraka got there first, so instead I walked to some a few rows behind her, sitting next to Yaoyorozu. She began talking to me about my little crush, asking slightly intimate questions but she was a close friend, so I opened up a little bit about it to her, and she listened well.
