[Half Love, Half Lust] Shouto Todoroki x Reader

Chapter 9

Walking into town, you donned a black hoodie. No-one would notice you either way, but it was just in case you met one of those U.A brats. The hood was down for now, because you hadn't seen any of them.

You went into a shop and bought a box of pocky. You hummed and started eating. Picking up the pace slightly, you skipped down the street, twirling around occasionally. It wasn't often you actually went outside, especially now, after the incident with All Might and Class 1-A.

You were even more of a shut in now, staying home to binge-watch anime. But, since not a lot of people really knew your face, it was okay to go out, only having to stay away from random pro-heroes patrolling the streets.

When you came across an alley a short distance from the liveliness of the city centre, you saw something that made you pause in your tracks.

There was Shouto, but he wasn't alone. There was a girl with him. Curious, you wandered a little closer, careful to keep in the shadows. Upon closer inspection, he looked highly uncomfortable – the girl far too close, and seemingly trying to pressure him.

Smirking, you walked up behind Shouto, wrapping your arms around his waist. Nuzzling your face into his neck, you glared at the girl.

"Honey, who's this?" You asked.

Thankfully, he caught on, like you knew he would.

"I don't know. Where have you been?" He questioned, playing the part.

You giggled. "I went to buy us some pocky!"

Handing the box to him, you made sure to take a piece quickly, gently placing it into his mouth. His eyes widened a bit, and you brought your head up to bite the end of the pocky stick.

He tried to appear cool, when really, he was boiling. He bit his end, your mouths gradually getting closer to each other's. The girl, making a disgusted face, stomped off. Shouto looked like he was ready to drop the act, but you weren't about to let a perfect opportunity pass up.

When the pocky was so short your lips almost touched, you closed the distance, kissing him with passion. You pushed him back, and he had to put his hands on your waist to steady himself.

The two of you kissed for about a solid minute, before you pulled away.

"Who was she?" You asked, making eye contact with him.

"I-I don't know." He responded.

Something about him seemed different. He no longer seemed as reserved as when you first met. It was exciting. You had liked him before, but now, he wasn't even trying to resist. You looked around, seeing a street sign, and when you asked Shouto what he was doing there, he said the girl had dragged him.

So, he was lost.

You didn't really know where you were either, so you had to make a phone call. Flicking through your contacts, you came across one titled 'Hellflame'. Shrugging, you let it ring.

When he picked up, he was anything but happy.

"What do you want?" His voice boomed, and you had to pull the phone away from your ear.

"Ouch. ~"

"Tch. Why did you call me?" He questioned, clearly not amused.

"Am I not allowed to?" He grumbled on the other end.

"I have your son by the way." You informed.

At this, you gained his full attention. You got a very loud "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HIM?" and when you replied with "fun things, like kissing." he got even angrier, if possible. You laughed, and told him your location.

Before he hung up, you added, "If you're not here in thirty seconds, I'm going to kiss Shouto. Again."
