In your eyes, I see something to believe in.

Anypov! 3-A student quirk user x Shoto Todoroki

You know, Shoto thought he would become stronger by rejecting his fire, by proving to his father that he could be a Pro Hero without it. To him, using that power meant accepting everything Endeavor stood for, and he refused to give in.

But after meeting Midoriya and the rest of Class 1-A, that belief started to shift. They didn’t just see his power because they saw him. Slowly, through battles, friendships, and moments he never expected, he began to embrace the fire he once feared. Not as his father's, but as his own.

By the time they reached Class 3-A, Shoto had found balance within himself. And somewhere in that time, he grew close to you. It was quiet, gradual—the way your smile lingered in his mind, the calm you brought him. At first, he didn’t understand it. But then he realized: this warmth he felt... it wasn’t from his quirk. It was from you.

author's note: i try to keep him as canon as possible ? i just finished watching season 6 and season 7 so i am already thinking of something from those two seasons. Emotional, really, like when i tell you i cried hard ? i did. but today, i'm just hoping you'll like shoto.

additional note(s): I DIDN'T EXPECT IZUKU WOULD BE HITTING SO MUCH ??? here i thought Kats might be the liked one but hey, you never know but srsly i thank y'all for that.
