You sighed weakly, thinking about what your dad wanted you to do. He called you, and it nearly broke you down into tears. The festival was coming up soon, and you had to battle your classmates, but you didn't want that. All you wanted was peace, which you were never going to get as long as you lived. You were about to put on makeup so you could send pictures to your future husband when you heard a knock on the door.

You went to open it and saw Shoto was at the door. You were only wearing a robe, which embarrassed you a bit, but lucky it was just Shoto, so he wasn't going to think much of it.

"Hey, what's up?" You asked.

"Hey. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. You weren't yourself at the beach," Shoto said.

"Here, come in," you said as your phone started going off, and saw it was your future husband.

You looked at Shoto and remembered the feeling you had when you took those men down. You needed to stand up for yourself, so you texted him no pictures, not now, not ever until we are married to both your father and then your husband. You then said you were going to bed and put your phone on airplane mode so they wouldn't call or text you.

"Sorry, I know what I did wasn't right, but I needed to take them down fast. I was worried about all of you. I didn't want you to get hurt like Kirishima did," you explained as Shoto sat on your bed.

"So you were protecting us?" He asked.

"Yes, I know you can take care of yourself, but," you paused.

"You probably saved everyone on that beach. I just wanted to make sure you were alright," he said as you looked at him a bit shocked.

"No one asks me that question," you said softly.

"No one?' He asked.

"Not everyone, just some people," you explained.

"You have been oddly attached to your phone. I noticed. Is there something going on in your family?" He asked.

"Oh, not really. My father is just protective of me. He doesn't like that I have male teachers or friends it's why I don't text you about anything other than schoolwork and why I hang out with all of you after my phone calls," you explained.

"He goes through your phone?" He asked.

"All the time, it's why I go home during the weekend. If my story doesn't match, then I could get into really big trouble. It's why I gave all you guys credit and why I asked all of you to leave out that I was there," you answered.

"You never told anyone else this," Shoto said.

"Well, I didn't want to make my dad out to be a control freak. I mean, he is, but I didn't want any of you to act differently because of it. I didn't want to be the weird one out," you sighed as you sat next to him.

"If you want, I can let everyone know so they won't text you anything they shouldn't. Just give me a list, and I'll tell them," he said.

"Shoto," you paused.

"I don't know what will happen if you got into trouble, but I'm guessing you would get pulled from school," he said.

"Thank you. I probably would. I can tell them all myself. Thank you really for worrying about me," you said as you hugged him close to you.

His face turned red once he smelled your perfume. It smelled really good, and his face turned red as he hugged you. He didn't want this to end, but it had to. You let go of him, and you smiled at him. For the first time, you wanted to kiss a guy, which made you a bit embarrassed, so you looked away. You looked at your phone, and the reality hit you like a tidal wave. You had to protect them at all costs. You had to if you didn't, then you shouldn't be called a hero at all.

"Night Shoto," you smiled as he nodded.

"Goodnight, remember if you need anything, let me know," he said as you nodded.

"I will thank you," you smiled as he left.

You took off your robe, revealing your underwear and bra. You picked up your phone and took it off airplane mode and got several missed calls and angry text messages from your father and soon-to-be husband. You sighed weakly and then heard your door open.

You turned to look and saw it was Shoto.

"Sorry, my phone fell out of my pocket," he said as you saw his phone was on your bed, so you picked it up and gave it to him.

"Here you go," you smiled.

"Thank you," he said as he quickly left, and he finally breathed.

He went back to his room where some of the guys were, and he sighed.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you froze! That's so unmanly!" Kirishima said as he was trying to set you two up so you wouldn't have to go through the arranged marriage.

"You, do I have to be here?" Bakugo asked.

"Yes, for support!" Denki said.

"I don't like her like that," Shoto said as they looked at him shocked.

"What?!" Kirishima asked.

"I already told you we are just friends, and that is all we will ever be," he said, even though he was trying everything in his power to get the image of you in just your underwear out of his mind.

He fell for you hard; harder than he thought he did, and he hated it. Something was off with you, and he couldn't figure out what it was, but you were scared of something. He needed to figure it out before it was too late.

It was time for the festival, and to everyone's surprise, the battles were up first. Your whole class had to fight each other to see who would be declared the strongest, and it was now just down to Bakugo, Fumikage, you, and Shoto. You had to fight Shoto and win to fight Bakugo.

The whole stadium was cheering you on while Shoto's dad made it clear he had to win this fight against you by any means necessary. He knew who your father was and wanted to make sure that the villain's daughter was put in her place.

"Wow, I can't believe we get to do this together! Isn't it amazing?!" You asked as Shoto sighed.

"We have to fight each other," he said.

"I know, but still," you smiled.

"I won't go easy on you," he said.

"Better not silly. I know how strong you are," you smiled as you got into your places.

"Begin!" You heard President Mic say as you smiled at him.

You both started going at each other like crazy making everyone shocked seeing how strong you two were. Shoto tried to freeze you so the battle would be over quickly, but you used your water to glide across it. Your fire didn't seem that impressive, but you started chasing him with your flame and tried hitting him with your stick. You made out of his ice. Everyone was holding their breath as your epic fight was shaking the stadium. You made a massive fire dragon appear, and you quickly charged at him only for Shoto to counter it with his ice.

"Should we stop this?" Mic asked as the stadium was shaking.

"Oh my gosh," Kirishima said as Bakugo and everyone in your class were shocked seeing how intense the fight was getting.

"Is that all you got, Shoto?" You asked as you both were tired.

"No, but you can't keep it up much longer," he said as you smiled.

"Really?" You asked as you made a massive water dragon that roared.

"Holly hell!" Mic said as you splashed Shotos dad pissing him off.

You two started fighting again, and the fight was taking longer than expected. Finally, both of you were going to deliver the final blow. Both of you charged full speed using your fire. Both hit each other's fists, canceling each other out. You both went flying and knocked each other out, tying you both for second place.

You both got up a couple minutes later to everyone cheering, but you looked at the stands and saw Shoto's father was less than impressed with him.

"Shoto?!" You asked as he got up, and you went over to him quickly.

"Are you okay?" You asked as he sighed.

"I'm fine," he said as you hugged him.

"That's good. I was so worried I went too far," you said as his father grew angry at you hugging his son.

"Hey guys!" It's time for the medals!" All Might said as Bakugo was fighting it since he knew you or Shoto could have one, but you weren't using everything you had, and neither was he.

You stood next to Shoto and smiled as you were given your medals.

"Good job, Bakugo!!" You smiled as he was trying to escape the chains he was in. He got the medal, and you unchained him.

"You didn't use your full strength on him, and you didn't either!!!" Bakugo yelled as you smiled.

"Well, I did, but I'm not evil. If I was, I would have drowned him," you smiled. As you looked at Shoto.

He saw his medal, and you smiled at him.

"You are awesome, Shoto!" You said as you were cheering him on and grabbed his hand and put it in the air happily.

You picked him up and spun him around, cheering him on more to let him know you were proud of him. All Might go back to the stands so they could get interviewed and get their pictures taken proudly since this event was one of the harder ones.

"Picture time!" A guy said as you smiled.

"Wait here, let me get some good lighting for you," you said as you threw some water in the air. At that moment, a rainbow appeared, making Shoto happy.

It was just like you, and he loved it. You were trying to find the right lighting with each drop when something exploded in mid-air, making people scream in panic.

You heard things land next to you, and you looked at your friends terrified as you realized they were explosives. You cut one with your water, by accident making it go off early.

"Y/n!" Shoto yelled as he was about to use his ice quirk when you used your water to blast them over the heavy-duty winner positions and blast the photographer over to them before making a sh

The bombs started going off, and fire along with shrapnel was making your shield expand and move around as the fire and smoke filled it. Your shield got so big that people watching the fight could reach out and touch it, making people run away in fear as it was getting bigger and bigger.

"Y/n!" Shoto yelled as Fumikage and Bakugo looked at the shield horrified.

You couldn't contain the intended explosions anymore, making your shield explode. You had to protect your friends, so you took down the shield that was protecting you and quickly covered them as smoke, fire, and shrapnel went everywhere. They took cover, and metal shrapnel started hitting them, but you shielded them.

Once the smoke died down, they noticed the water shields covering them, making Bakugo smile.

"Where are you you dumb fuck!" Bakugo screamed as Shoto and Fumikage got up unharmed.

"Y/n! We're fine!" Fumikage yelled as the smoke cleared around to their horror you were covered in shrapnel and burn marks.

"Y/n!!!" Shoto screamed as blood ran down your body, and your water shields broke around them.

You collapsed to the ground, making Shoto shield you with his ice so they could get to you. Shoto started CPR once realizing you stopped breathing and barely managed to bring you back. Anger filled his body as heroes started coming to help them. Shoto's fireside lit up as pure untainted rage coursed through his body as he held you in his arms.

"Shoto! You have to cool off!" Bakugo yelled as the grass started catching on fire, so Bakugo put it out as fast as he could.

"I'm going to kill whoever did this to her if it's the last thing I ever do!" Shoto growled as he sat off his fire and focused on keeping you alive.
