heterochromatic eyes shifted curiously among the owner's surrounding conversations. it seems different people were talking about the same thing, but it's mostly the male students who are in a bustle.

"hey, have you heard about this new app on GameStore?"

"yeah! it's all they're talking about. the demo's really good, but it's not free."

"it's what all the single, rich kids are playing right now!"

"lucky them! i can't afford the app!"

"what were they talking about, midoriya?"

"i-i don't know either todoroki-kun!" the greenette answered before pulling a thoughtful expression as they both entered the classroom, "i wonder what it was all about, though."

"oh you haven't heard about it?"

"uraraka-san!"

"it's a game that lets you create your own virtual girlfriend according to what you want them to look like! you can even input their voice!"

"eh?"

"what's more is that you can talk to them through messaging or calling them even. though you can't go on a date with them physically, you can on your phone!"

"that's really cool!"

todoroki hummed, his curiosity getting the best out of him.

why not try downloading the app tonight?

"todoroki-kun! class is starting!" uraraka called out to him as their teacher came in for the first subject that morning.

"hn.. let's see..." fingers tapped along the screen as shoto scrolled through the various games. He tapped on said app and looked at the price, raising an eyebrow at the ridiculously huge amount of yen it costs.

this is almost half of my father's salary but, he shrugged, nothing like the old man couldn't handle.

are you sure you want to pay for this ridiculous game?

his eyes opened to a bright screen. squinting, he looked at the opening words:

shoto's brows furrowed.

feelings?

he pressed the play button and the screen blackened out for a moment before a pink color overtook it. a blank figure of a girl was shown. his mind raced, fingers speedily tapping away at the buttons until he had made the form of a girl with s/c skin, h/c hair and bright e/c eyes.

names. names. names.

the heterochromatic eyed boy thought about names and his mind began to blur like a reel in those old movies in the sixties. he thought about swirling comets, flowers plucked after rain. he thought about a name with a beautiful smile suited for a person with such brilliant eyes.

and he suddenly remembered the name of a female lead he had read about once in a novel- who was known for her bravery, beauty and kindness. and most of all,

her taste for freedom. independence.

shoto shrugged. pronouns were labels, and even if he did respect people who have them and used their preferred pronouns, he doesn't care about labels. he ultimately deduced that his significant other would not really mind about labels as well and he decided he'd rather go for the 'they/them' and 'she/her' options rather than mull over gender labels and existential crisises.

shoto pressed the option and blew a breath.

for a minute nothing happened.

then a voice caught the attention of his ears and permitted his eyes to look at the bright screen.
