[For some reason, the confirmation just made Izuku get flustered even more, but he looks up at Todoroki when he steps forward, closer to him.
And then the next words surprised Izuku. Not only because it confirmed that Todoroki hadn't noticed how flustered he was around him, but also because Aizawa-sensei... Aizawa-sensei, of all people, mentioned something to the other boy.
Izuku stares at Todoroki's pondering expression, noting how it fit the boy... How it's almost cute... Wait, no, he has to concentrate on what was going on!!
And then he tips his head, listening to Todoroki finishing his thoughts... only to blush more. What the heck did Aizawa-sensei say!?]
Um! I'm not in trouble or anything! I did fine on the last test, too...
[Maybe he meant help with training? But he can't tell anyone else about One for All, so he can really only train with All Might...
He just kind of shrinks in on himself a little, still fidgeting with his hands.]
What did he say, exactly? I-I don't think there's much I need to admit...
[Besides his feelings for you, Todoroki, but he's very adamant about keeping it a secret. For now.]
Yeah.. I checked. You did pretty well actually so I congratulate you.
[His eyebrows furrowed a few seconds, before he told the details from Aizawa to his classmate.] His exact words were written as "Get Midoriya to confess to you" ...though it's rather strange of him to write that sort of thing. Confess to me about what? [He's a bit concerned, maybe troubled that his first friend had something to say but he could not figure out what exactly. Hello, clueless about relationships, much.]
I don't think you'd hide anything from me though... It's not like you had any dark secrets or something... [Though then when he looked back up, he noticed how Izuku was flustering all the over the place, fidgeting... his introverted behavior is just having Todoroki's eyes widen with a hint of blush on his cheeks. He shouldn't be this cute. How does this happen. ]
But I digress I.. [He turns to the side a little, keeping a composure even while his face is lightly flushed. He then focuses his eyes back on Izuku with a calm expression, as if he were smiling.] I think you have your well intentions even if you kept something from anyone, including me. [He slightly tilts his head down, closing his eyes while keeping the curl on his mouth. Izuku is a good person.. someone that really could be a real hero one day.]
[Izuku gives a small bow after Todoroki congratulated him, then straightens back out when he speaks again.
And then his face just goes a tomato red.
As he puts his hand to his mouth, Izuku starts to mumble something (mostly wondering how Aizawa-sensei figured it out); it's not very coherent, but he's thinking deeply about this, almost not hearing the rest of Todoroki's words. But he snaps back into reality when Todoroki says he has well intentions. He swallows hard and puts his hands up, waving them a little.]
N-no, no, I don't really-- It's not like I have many secrets-- Wait, that's not what I mean, I....
[He's stumbling and stuttering over his words, flailing his arms around slightly, and continuing to blush. Then all of a sudden, he stops, looks down at the ground with closed eyes. He swallows again.
Maybe he could get an idea of what Todoroki thinks about dating other guys. Or just dating in general. So with his head still down, cheeks still red, and his eyes shut tight, he mumbles his next words, but loud enough for Todoroki to be able to hear.]
There's... Someone in our class that I like.
[God, why is he so honest?! Why couldn't he just make up a lie about this... But no, this is Todoroki, and he doesn't want to lie to him...]
Someone... you like in our class? [He makes no discretion on what gender they are.. be it girl or boy. Though, what a foreign concept. He's usually not the person to think about relationships or crushes but to think Izuku would be like that... well, he would figure he'd be that type. It would be nice if it was himself.. though it would not be a priority of his. The way he is stuttering is a bit amusing though. It tickles him a little but he stays calm by looking at him with a gentle face so he isn't startling the other boy.]
I would not put it past you but you should definitely confess to that person. [He stays pretty nonchalant as he says this. Because honesty is the best policy. Being straight out with your feelings, be it about your homework or someone you fell for.]
It's no problem though. You're a hero that deserves some respect. The way you got me to use my most hated side... the one once associated with my father. It was admirable. [He knows this for a fact. He hated using his fiery side as much as anyone. But to have Izuku make him realize that it's not that bad using all of his powers.. it really is something that goes beyond his expectations. He crosses his arms, looking under trying to get a peek of Izuku's face.]
[Izuku nods while his face flushes a bright red. Though he is thankful that Todoroki doesn't make an assumption one way or the other. He gazes at the other boy, smiling a little at the gentleness that Todoroki had, happiness filling his eyes. This is why he likes him, Izuku supposes.
But then he speaks again and gives him advice he wasn't sure he was ready for. He knows Todoroki has been pretty honest, himself, but Izuku kind of shrinks in on himself... Waiting for the other to finish his thoughts.
Izuku blushes yet again as he hears Todoroki's gratefulness and puts his hands in the air, waving them back and forth.]
Oh, no, no, I'm not as great as you or Kacchan or Iida-san...!!
[He lowers his head again, furrowing his brows. How can he take this much praise from the guy he's been crushing on...? He bites his lip.
He still didn't quite know what Todoroki thought of dating in general, though it seemed like he was okay with boys dating other boys... Still, he thought he can't be too careful.]
I-I'd like to confess, but... I don't think they'd want to date someone l-like me...
[He closes his eyes tight and balls his hands into fists. It was now or never, Izuku. After a long pause he speaks again to clarify what he meant.]
