Your training with Deku had come to an end. You two had fun together. Deku liked workouts that were generally relaxed (or maybe he just wanted it to be easy on you). But Todoroki probably wouldn't want to work out like this. You had to be prepared.
As you were cooling down on a bench with Deku, Todoroki approached you. The time you had agreed on had ended, and it was Todoroki's turn.
How did you go from being one of the most unpopular students in the whole school to having guys argue over you? You always found it weird when occasionally someone became interested in you. Whether just to be friends or something more, you always brushed them off because they didn't truly know you that well. But Todoroki was different. He didn't show it, but you could tell he genuinely cared about you. You weren't even friends to begin with. He just started being nice to you one day and suddenly, your classmates shipped you two together almost as much as they shipped Deku with Uraraka.
Todoroki, one of the tallest students in your grade loomed above you and Deku. He was the first to speak.
"Are you ready, [Y/N]?"
Here's the thing. You were still pretty tired out from the elliptical session with Deku. However, you didn't want to make Todoroki wait any longer.
You quickly responded "Yep!" without giving it another thought.
He held out his hand to help you to your feet. Now standing, you turned and shot a smile at Deku while waving goodbye.
Todoroki led you to another area of the gym. This room was focused on arm strength, and it was full of men in tank tops lifting heavy objects.
He tilted his head in your direction. "So, what do you want to do?"
Your upper body strength wasn't the best. You also don't usually go to this side of the gym. "Uhh..." you muttered, your eyes scanning the room for something familiar. Everything looked too difficult, with all those black weights and metal bars. "I don't even know where to start,"
He thought for a second, and then showed you to a sleek, black chair reclined all the way back. Noticing your expression, he stepped in front of you and laid down on the chair.
"I'll show you what to do. It's easy- just lay on you back, grip the weights by the metal bar here, and lift them up." He demonstrated, while maintaining eye contact with you the entire time.
He set down the metal bar with two of those heavy, black plates on both sides. "Now you try," he concluded in his usual pleasant tone of voice, as if he were happy to show you around the gym.
In contrast to Todoroki's ability to lift the weight with ease, you couldn't do it so easily. Well, you did manage to lift it and complete a few reps, but not like he could.
"[Y/N], do you want me to lower the weight?"
Again, being the type of person who never wants help from others, you said no. He looks at you and nods, but something tells you he didn't believe you.
So... you grab the weights and proceed to burn through a bunch more reps. Even though your arms got increasingly tired, you continued.
After about 5 sets, you placed the barbell back in the rack and sat up. Proud of yourself, you smiled over at Todoroki, who was still standing above you. He looked pleasantly surprised.
"Great job, [Y/N]."
"Oh, haha, I couldn't have done all that without you."
After that, you took turns doing reps while encouraging each other. Time flew quickly. You improved drastically.
You were in the middle of encouraging Todoroki (you knew he didn't need your encouragement to do well, you just wanted to be nice). A familiar shouting voice booms from the other side of the gym.
"Hey! Half and Half! It's been way past your time limit!"
Time limit?! You completely forgot! Todoroki sat up on the press and eyed Bakugo, who was angrily making his way over. Bakugo stopped and glared down at Todoroki.
Instead of yelling back, Todoroki's right arm snapped up showing his watch. "It's only been one minute past the time we agreed on..."
"Whatever, let's go now." Bakugo grabbed your hand and took you to another area before you had time to say goodbye to Todoroki.
