Three days later,
Monday, morning time,
Class 1-A Dorm,
Todoroki's Room...

Todoroki's POV

I button up my blazer carefully. As I finish doing it, I brush off any possible dirt that can dirty my blazer.

After five days, my house arrest ends and now I'm able to go to school again.

I stare at my reflection in the mirror while smiling in satisfaction. It has been a while since I put on this uniform so I feel like I'm some sort of new student.

And also, since I have house arrest, I can't go out of the dorm, meaning that I can't see Dabi at the park but thanks to the letter he gave to me, we still can communicate through messaging app.

But still... I don't feel enough at all. I want to meet him so badly now.

I don't want to admit this but...

I miss you, Dabi...

I sigh long as Dabi's face shows up in my mind. It's only five days we haven't meet but I already miss him?

And fun fact, I barely know him but I feel like I haven't seen him for years.

I suddenly hear knocking noise coming from the door. "Come in." I answer while looking at the mirror to fix my hair . The doorknob spins, opens by Yaoyorozu who is on the door.

"Ah, Todoroki-san. I'm glad you've woken up." Yaoyorozu smiles at me in relief. "Do you need something from me?" I ask her confusedly since she suddenly comes to my room.

"Well, I'm just worried that you forgot your house arrest has ended and still sleeping so I come here to wake you up." Yaoyorozu explains her intention.

Oh, that's why. Welp, I almost forgot actually. I barely woke up early this morning.

I smile at her gratefully. "Thanks for your concern, Yaoyorozu. I'm about to leave right now." I say as I grab my bag on the drawers near me.

"Then how about we go together?" Yaoyorozu offers while fixing her bangs a. I nod to her, accepting her offer. "Let's go." I say and we both walk to the elevator, leaving the fifth floor.

.....

After school,
Class 1-A Dorm,
Common area...

I sit myself on the couch and let out a tired sigh. Another tiring school day. "Todoroki~ Here is your juice!" Ashido says, handing me a can of melon-flavoured juice that I asked her to buy for me just now.

I smile slightly at Ashido and take the juice from her hand. "Thanks, Ashido." I thank her while my hand open the can. I take a few sips of the juicy water, decreasing my thirst.

I sigh in relief, feeling much better after drinking my favourite juice to my heart content. My phone that is put in my inner blazer pocket suddenly starts buzzing, asking me to answer it. I take it out from my pocket and then leave the common area, heading out to the courtyard for more private space.

Without wasting even a moment, I quickly answer the call, not caring who the caller is. "Hello?" I greet, patiently waiting for the answer.

"Yo, Princess." This cheeky voice speaks up on the phone. "Dabi, why did you call me?" I ask him in emotionless tone and slightly annoyed with him, suddenly calling me out of nowhere.

"Why? It's wrong for me to hear my princess' melodic voice?" Dabi jokes flirtiously. I can hear him chuckling on the phone. "You hear my voice right? So bye." I say and am about to end the call but Dabi hurriedly stops me.

"Okay, okay, I won't fool around anymore." Dabi apologizes, feeling guilty at last. I smirk in satisfaction, happy to make him feels guilty.

"So, why did you call me?" I ask Dabi again but in nicer tone since he already contemplates his doing. "Nothing actually. I just wanna ask you to come to the park tonight." He informs me and I can feel he is smiling while talking to me. Though his words still confuses me.

"Why I need to come?" I ask him, there is a bit doubt in my heart. I'm afraid it's a trap sets by the League.

I know he is a villain and part of League Of Villains yet why do I still stick to him?

"It's a surprise~" Dabi says in eager, sounding excited all of sudden. A sigh of dissatisfaction escapes my lips but I just shrug it off.

"I get it. I'll come tonight." I assure him and I hear he cheers a little. "Thanks Shoto." He thanks me and then ends the call.

Shoto... It has been a while since he calls me with my first name. All this time he always adresses me with stupid weird nickname.

Dabi... He is the only guy who calls me with my first name.

My cheeks suddenly start to feel warm. I cup my cheeks and look at my reflection on the glass sliding door. My eyes widen in surprise when I realize my face has became brighter with crimson shades!

Wha-- What am I embarrassed about? Idiot! Idiot Shoto!

I shake my head repeatedly to get rid of this ridiculous feelings. Why am I feeling like this all of sudden?

"Hm, Todoroki-san? Are you okay?" A gentle voice fills with concern asks me. I turn to look at my right side and see Midoriya standing there with worried look plasters on his cute face. I only stare at him long, trying to process what has happened.

"N-N-Nothing, I'm f-fine!" I suddenly fluster while my hands start making weird hands motion. Midoriya's worried expression is still there. "Todoroki-san, are you sure you are fine? You're not acting like yourself at all." Midoriya says in total concern and starts stepping closer to me.

"Your face is all red. Are you having cold?" Midoriya panicks. "N-No, I'm perfectly healthy and well." I mutter and my body start shaking all of sudden with my face still as red as tomato. And I can feel smoke coming out of my hot head.

"You're not okay at all!" Midoriya totally denies me and looks at me in panic. I shake my head and unconsciously run away from him at my fullest speed, heading to the elevator in hurry to go back to my room.

I want to hide from everyone!

As soon as I enter the elevator, I press the button qith number '5' on it non-stop until the door closes. I sigh in relief as I'm now finally alone. I lean my body on the cold metal wall, lose in my own thoughts while waiting to arrive at my destination.

....

Todoroki's room...

I let out a tired sigh as I thow myself on my futon. I start thinking of what has happened just now.

For the first time in my life...

I got flustered...

My cheeks heat up again when I recall that embarrassing incident. I turn my body to my left side and curl myself into a ball while my hands cover my red face.

How idiot can I be? D-Dabi just call me with my first name that's all! So why am I so flustered actually?!

And Midoriya's face suddenly shows up in my mind. Poor that boy. I leave him behind without making things clear.

He might think I hate him or something now...

I sit up on my futon, bringing my knees closer to my body and hug them. I rest my chin on my knees.

My heart is all stirred up...
My face won't stop flushing red...
And smoke won't stop coming out of my head...

What's the meaning of this...?
