The second day wasn't too bad, we did more endurance training before relaxing in the hot springs. After that, Todoroki and i decided to take a short hike up the hill near the camp grounds.

"I realised i never asked about your mum" I say, as i'm gazing up at the stars. We're both on our backs, looking up at the night sky.
Shoto hums in thought "My dad sent her to a mental hospital after she burned me. I see her sometimes but not as much as i probably should"
I nod and turn my head to face him. "I hope one day she gets out of there" He does the same and turns to face me.
"Me too" He uses the back of his index finger to stroke my cheek and we just stare at each other. It feels like bliss. I could stay here forever.

I slide my hand into his, putting my fingers in between his fingers. My heart thumps as he looks me in the eyes.

"I love you" it comes out of my mouth just above a whisper.
He squeezes my hand before replying "I love you too"

I let go of his hand and sit up temporarily before leaning down over him for a kiss which he happily accepts.

I'm happiest when i'm with you.
You are my home.
