Chapter Nine - What Are We?
Izuku woke up earlier the next morning, at about nine. He had spoken to Kirishima about the new plans yesterday, and was more than ecstatic to be living with Todoroki. He made sure to get dressed this time, and made his way to the kitchen. ''Morning Todoroki...'' He said tiredly as he sat down at the kitchen table. ''Good morning Midoriya.'' Todoroki said, looking like he'd been up for a while. Izuku quickly checked the time on the oven, before sitting down at the table and taking his phone out.
This kind of confused Shoto, Midoriya never really used his phone while eating, actually he used it a fair amount less than other people he knew. He seemed to be scrolling through something and since he was using it while eating it either must have been important or entertaining.
''What are you looking at?'' Todoroki asked, figuring it's probably Instagram or cat videos. ''I'm browsing job listings,'' Midoriya admitted, looking up to smile at the icyhot boy next to him. ''You're pretty responsible huh?'' Todoroki said taking a bite of his muffin. ''I try to be,'' Midoriya said, blushing a bit from the praise he got.
A few minutes later, Todoroki saw Midoriya's eyes light up, which made him smile softly and just stare at him. He probably found a good job.
And as if Izuku read his mind, he suddenly exclaimed ''This looks good!''. ''What is it?'' Todoroki asked leaning over a bit. Midoriya flipped his phone so that he could see the screen, ''It's for a job working at a daycare! I've always loved kids so I thought it would be good!'' ''It says here you need first-aid training, do you have that?'' Todoroki asked as he skimmed over the ad. ''Mhm! me and my friend took a corse on it last year.'' Midoriya explained.
Todoroki finished reading the ad and sat back in his seat normally. ''The pay and hours look good, that seems like a nice fit for you Midoriya.'' Todoroki said, taking Midoriya's hand that was resting on the table. Midoriya blushed but didn't move, ''Y-Yeah, I'm going to go in for an interview today I think.'', ''Sounds good.'' Todoroki said putting his dish in the sink.
''I have work today so if you go out for that, get home and I'm not there I'm out at work. I'll just tell Momo to let you in to my apartment when you get back.'' ''Momo?'' Midoriya asked. ''She works at the front desk. Her family is very wealthy and actually owns this building, she started working here as a way to get a-custom to running the family business when she's older.'' Todoroki explained, sitting back down. ''You seem to know a lot about her,'' Midoriya pointed out. ''Not really, mostly everyone knows. We chat sometimes I guess. She's friendly.'' After a second of silence Todoroki added on; ''Funnily enough her girlfriend was in my class in high school.''. Midoriya lightly laughed, ''Really? That's a funny coincidence.'' ''It is, it was interesting seeing if she was any different. She really only cut her hair a bit shorter.'' Todoroki said. Midoriya lightly chuckled again, going over and placing his plate in the sink.
Midoriya started doing the dishes, Shoto had told him several times that it's fine, but he kept insisting.
After a minute of him washing the dishes, Todoroki finally asked; ''Midoriya?'' ''Yes?'' Izuku responded looking back towards him a little bit. ''...What are we?''. The question took Midoriya a little off guard, he wasn't sure how to respond. He looked back at the dishes to try and settle his nerves. ''W-Well... what do you want to be..?'' He asked, still a little shy about this. ''I don't want to say anything that would make you uncomfortable.'' Todoroki stated. Midoriya turned his head a little bit and gave Todoroki and shy and reassuring smile. ''I'm open to hearing what you'd like as long as it's not something crazy...'' before going back to looking at the dishes.
''Well, considering we've kissed twice I'd say we're more than friends.'' Todoroki said, and even though Midoriya was mostly facing away from him, he could still see his face turn red. ''Y-yeah I'd say so...'' he answered softly. ''I wouldn't really say we're anything official yet but... I would like to take you on a date sometime.'' Todoroki said as Midoriya dried his hands. Izuku looked over at him, ''R-Really?'' Todoroki nodded. Midoriya quickly put the hand towel back, and grabbed both of Todoroki's hands in his own. ''I-I'd love that...!'' He was pretty flustered, but still trying to stay calm.
''T-Though... it's a little weird... we met last week...'' Midoriya pointed out awkwardly. ''When you think about it people go on dates in weirder ways, sometimes they don't even know the person.'' Todoroki pointed out. ''Fair point. And sometimes people just ask others out without talking to them. Or over this internet.'' Midoriya added on. ''Y-Yeah this is not that weird.'' He smiled. ''And even if it was it wouldn't really matter to me.'' Todoroki said, leaning forward connecting their foreheads. Izuku blushed, but leaned into him and smiled.
