My Hero [ Aizawa Shouta x Reader ]

Chapter 14: The Festival

** y/n's pov **

"Oh? Are you done with your shift already?" Uraraka asked.

You only nodded tiredly in response after changing back to your school uniform. After 5 hours of dealing with the visitors in your game booth, you finally got to rest. But you were also itching to explore the different booths available in school.

"..but I don't want to go alone though," you mumbled softly as you watched Uraraka take over your position.

You pulled out the schedule from your back pocket, analysing the different shifts. According to the paper, the ones available right now were..

"Tokoyami-" you whispered.

"Mineta-" you cringed.

"Aoyama-"

"and lastly... Todoroki,"

Your eyes darted around the room and instantly you saw the peppermint boy exiting the classroom. Despite the cold aura he emits, you realised how it was slowly melting away ever since he saved you. He was slowly letting you enter the barriers that he had put up and somehow was welcoming you.

"TODOROKI!" you yelled and caught up to him.

"D-do you wa-want to uhh... hang out together. I kinda want to explore the booths-"

"Congratulations! You are our 100th visitor!" She cheered.

"Oh?! Really? I'm honoured!!" You exclaimed.

You held both her hands and she returned it with a tight grip. Leaning slightly towards each other while laughing.

It was that kind of smile that conjures this irresistible impulse to smile as well. And before i knew it, i was mirroring her very expression.

'Was she always this pretty?'

I shook my head after realising how absurd my thoughts were. I was staring at her too much.

"Todoroki?" Her voice rang in my ears.

It somehow sounded pleasant-

"Yeah, i got it," i shook that thought away and walked ahead of her to our designated table.

The whole time we were waiting for our food, my eyes kept jumping from the flower vase in front of me to y/n. Despite trying my best to blur the background, I found myself staring at her again. How her pink flower crown complement the colours of her h/c hair. How her e/c eyes reflected the light perfectly. She was radiating right before my eyes like an -
