"Come on Uncle Toshinori!" You quickly ate your breakfast, unable to contain your excitement for today.

"Don't choke!!" He worried as you scarfed down all of your food. 

"Done! Let's go!" You grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the apartment.

You raced down the streets with him right behind you and All Might couldn't help but chuckle at your enthusiasm.

"Don't tire yourself out before the games even started." He tried to warn you but you just kinda tuned him out. Soon you two made it to the stadium, it was a different feeling than before. This time you had a goal and you were pumped!

You saw everyone gathered in the middle, chatting away. That's when Todoroki noticed you and waved for you to head over.

"Go on, I'll be with you all in a few moments." Said All Might. You nodded and rushed over to them in your white and blue uniform.

"Hey Y/n." Todoroki greeted you.

"Hey!" You reach over and gave him a hug. You could feel how he physically tensed up causing you to take a few steps back.

"Sorry Todoroki! It's just that in America I would greet people like that sometimes and I was pretty excited so..." He started laughing. Yes, Laughing. Everyone turned around to see if what they were hearing was really him.

"It's alright Y/n. It's nice to see you too." You smiled thankfully he wasn't weirded out.

"I see you're in a pretty good mood." You commented while lightly punching his arm.

"I guess you could say that." He shrugged, his soft smile never fading.

"Do my eyes deceive me? Todoroki is Smiling?" Minoru joked making Todoroki's disappear.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" You showed grape head a smirk and Minoru frowned. 

"Alright everyone gather around!" Called out Aizawa catching everyone's attention.

"Thanks." You heard Todoroki whisper. 

"No problem, what are friends for?" 

"Alright, since we don't have much time here we'll get right to it. We'll only be doing one on one battles and from there we'll get a winner."

"I'm not joining this bootleg battle, I'm sitting this out!" Katsuki shouted and sat on the sideline.

"Well, that evens things out," Aizawa said honestly. "Let's draw lots to see whos against who."

And it goes as follows:

Ejiro - Momo

Koji - Rikido

Denki - Mashirao

Y/n - Kyoka

Izuku - Toru

Mezo - Fumikage

Tsuyu - Shoto

Minoru - Hanta

Ochaco - Yuga

Mina - Tenya

"First up, Eijiro Kirishima Vs. Momo Yaoyorozu!" You watched carefully and anxiously thinking of tactics and things you could use to your advantage. Everyone was sitting close by as the battles continued. Soon enough your turn came up.

"You'll be great Y/n!" Encouraged Izuku.

"Yeah!" Ochaco chimed in.

"Good luck." Added Todoroki. You smiled at them and nodded your head.

"Thanks guys!" You jogged over to the arena and stood on the opposite end of Kyoka.

"Round 4! Y/n L/n Vs. Kyoka Jiro! Begin!" You got into a fighting stance and all the situations and tactics you thought up before the fight...was gone.

Like forgetting everything you learned just as you're taking the exam.

Kyoka shot her earplugs forward and tied you up seeing you weren't going to make the first move. You felt her squeeze you and she started dragging you across the ground. You panicked seeing the border getting closer.

Back to the center, back to the center! You chanted in your mind making you disappear and reappear in the middle of the arena. You let out a breath and Kyoka was surprised.

Time to get back on track!

You charged at her but she jammed her earplugs to the ground and transmitted the vibrations from her heart to the ground making it shake. You stumbled and tripped and ended up falling.

Kyoka took this chance and opted for tiering you out by excessively using your quirk. She shot her earplugs towards you once again but you knew better than to fall for that again. 

Mid-air!

You then reappeared just as you though, in mid-air! You made a shield under you so that you wouldn't have to stand on the unstable ground. You then started extending the shield under you and charged at her. Kyoka started to panic and tried to think of a better plan.

You were about to land a punch but she managed to dodge it, her earplugs disconnecting from the floor. You stumbled forward, falling on the ground with a thud, scraping your knees. That's when you knew what you had to do. This was not the time to play nice.

You disappeared and reappeared behind Kyoka and kicked her back, making her lung forward. She was now alert and readied herself for hand to hand combat, but just as she was about to hit you, you vanished once again and materialized behind her and gave her another kick. This constantly wet on, you kept teleporting and landing hit after hit until without even realizing, Kyoka was out of bounds.

"Y/n wins!" All Might announced. You took a moment to catch your breath, that tactic was effective but it would take a big toll on your energy after a while, you had to keep that in mind.

"You were great!" Ochaco cheered and trapped you in a bear hug.

"Can't- breath." You bearly said. She lets you go and you could finally breathe again.

"Nice work out there." Commented Todoroki. 

"Thanks!" You sat down to drink some water and take a break while the others continued their battles. As everyone continued, some of them were so tired out that they withdrew and most of them said that they mostly wanted to see you in action.

And as the games went on, the last two left were:

"Y/n L/n Vs. Shoto Todoroki!" You stood there dumbfounded.

"How the hell did I get this far?!" You looked at everyone and they shrugged.

"Go for gold!"

"Show him whos boss!"

"You can do it!"

"Go Y/n!" They cheered.

"You guys do know that he's the one that could freeze half of a stadium??" You tried to talk some sense into them.

"Begin!" All Might shouted all of a sudden, making you alert. You knew what would come next, it was like his signature move. 

You jumped high enough for the ice that was forming on the ground to not reach you. You formed a shield under you so you wouldn't end up slipping on the ground.

"Nice reaction." He commented with a smirk and sent another round of Ice your way. You teleported to a side before it could hit you with another shield waiting for you.

Looks like that training really bore fruit...

You could feel how the temperature would drop as you readied yourself for another attack with a smirk. "I've been studying every single one of you guys ever since the sports festival, I had to learn something." You then disappeared and reappeared behind Todoroki but he saw that coming and blasted you with ice. You were frozen in place and Todoroki walked over to you.

"I've been observing you too." He said, reflecting your expression. You then teleported behind him, freeing yourself from the ice prison.

"That's good to know." You formed a rectangular shield and used it to forcefully push Todoroki, trying to get him out of bounds since you knew knocking him out was out of the question. You weren't strong enough for that.

Not yet at least.

He froze the ground stopping him from moving and then he used it to shoot him up in the air and then landed behind you.

"You know, I like this tactic of yours." You didn't have enough time to react and he sent you flying out of the bounds, but before you could hit the ground, 

Todoroki!

You teleported sort of floating right in front of him, extremely close, maybe even too close. You could tell he was caught off guard and even had a light shade of pink spread across his cheeks, but that's when you got an Idea. You grabbed his shoulders and concentrated.

Edge of the bounds!

Both of you then appeared in the exact same spot you thought of. Todoroki was out of bounds and you were just bearly still in them.

"Y/n wins!" All Might shouted. That really took a toll on your energy after battling so continuously. You felt your knees go weak and Todoroki had to help you stand up by slinging your arm over his neck.

"That was impressive. But I let you win." You raised your eyebrows and chuckled at his statement. You never knew he was one to actually joke around so you were happy to see he was getting more comfortable being around you.

"That expression on your face after I teleported to you said otherwise." You mumbled.

"Huh?" He looked at you confused. What kind of face did I make back then?

Todoroki helped you walk over to the group and you let out a deep breath knowing it was all over, you could feel yourself starting to relax and your body did too. 

Oh no.

"Hey, Todoroki." You breathed.

"Yeah?"

"Sorry about this." You then blacked out and went limp. Todoroki was startled and struggled to hold you up. He decided that it was best to just carry you back, so he picked you up princess style as you fell unconscious.

"Is she alright???" Izuku was the first to ask as he jogged over to you two.

"Yeah, she just fainted from exhaustion,"  Todoroki explained.

"Well we should all be heading back to UA and Recovery girl can tend to her their." Said Aizawa. Everyone nodded. 

"Do you need help?" Asked Izuku.

"It's fine, she doesn't weigh that much anyway." Todoroki then proceeded in following everyone else to the bus and sat you down next to him with Izuku right beside you.

The ride back was quiet since almost everyone ended up falling asleep. You, on the other hand, had your head resting on Todoroki's shoulder, he paid no mind to it until you started snuggling up to him in the crook of his neck, making him tense up and even have a slight blush on his face. Thankfully no one would see him like that since everyone was out cold.

Todoroki stayed still not wanting to disturb you. After a while, he then dared to steal a glance at you. He turned his head to look at you and that's when his lips grazed the crown of your head. He pulled back slightly but then noticed how peaceful you looked in contrast to your usual upbeat and energetic self.

You looked, cute.

He raised his hand and pushed away a few stray hairs that covered your face and tucked it behind your ear. His hands lingered on your cheek and caressed it gently. He could see how your cheeks were still a bit flushed from all the exercise and how your lips-

"Alright everyone! We're here!" Announced All Might, making everyone --except you--jolt awake.

Todoroki pulled his hand back and looked away from you as everyone groaned in annoyance since they had to get up and all they wanted to do was keep sleeping. Soon enough everyone started pooling out of the bus, Todoroki decided to head out last so he could carry you out properly. He stood up and took your arm and slung it over his neck, he then slid his arm under your back and knees to lift you up. It was a short walk over to the infirmary and Todoroki simply dropped you off.

He thanked Recovery girl and left. As he walked down the hall he stared at his hand started to think back to how he touched your face and what he was thinking at that moment, he even remembered how plump your lips looked.

What hell was that all about?
