(A very very long one shot filled with fluff and kissing! BTW ART IS NOT MINE, CREDITS TO THE ARTIST!)

Deku's POV.

Me..Todoroki..Holding hands? For 24 hours?

"Come on, that's gotta be a fucking joke." See? Even Kacchan gets it. "Like isn't that gay or something," Kacchan said annoyedly, his eyes glaring at everybody else in the room.

Kaminari cleared his throat, "Says the person who's sitting on Kiri's lap."

I watched as Kacchan got up to his knees and chased the spiky, yellow haired boy who was running away from the raging explosion that is Kacchan.

"Who says you could say that, you sparky face!" Kacchan shouted curse words and threats as they both ran  outside the dorms. Kirishima followed soon after and everybody knew that he was the only one that could possibly calm the angry blonde.

Tsui clapped her hands together, "Anyways, let's get back on the game now shall we?"

"The bottle didn't even land on me so why...why do I have to do it?" I laughed nervously.

Why me? Out of all people...

Everyone's eyes were on me and Todoroki.

"Because it's a dare, duh." Momo smirked and winked at my direction.

I glanced at Todoroki, but he looks emotionless as always. When he caught me staring at him, he shrugged and got up from where he was sitting at. I began to wipe my sweaty hands on my shorts vigorously.

"Wait..I ..uh didn't agree to this.." I tried to back away before it's too late, but Todoroki is already walking up to me... and I can't help but bury my face in my hands because this is so embarrassing.

"Just do it bro, it'll be over by the time you know it." Sero patted my back. It kind of reassured me a bit, but my heart is still beating so fast that I'm afraid they're going to hear it.

"Ok but the girls give such bad dares, it's so unfair-"

"Says you, grape looking ass! You were the one who dared Hakagure to do a strip tease!" Uraraka pointed accusingly at Mineta, who had his hands high up in the air, waving them defensively.

"She chose dare! And a dare is a dare, right guys?"

They just rolled their eyes and ignored him.

I felt something, or someone slip next to me. I didn't realise Todoroki was already right beside me and without warning, he grabbed my hand. Our fingers brushed against each other's, and they somehow interlocked, as if they have a mind of their own. Todoroki squeezed my hand gently. And me? Well I tried so hard to not think about the tingling sensations in my stomach, and how all of my thoughts consisted of how soft and warm his hands are. And how hand holding may not be so bad...if it's not for the feelings that's drowning me.

"Oh yea, I have one more thing to add," Mina approached us and handcuffs were waved at our faces. I gulped.

"You know...this is way too much." Todoroki whispered beside me. His mouth is so close to my ear and so I could feel his breath come in contact my skin. I felt a tingling sensation in my body.

"I agree..I'm.. pretty sure that we will be alright without those...things.."

I attempted to reason, but they didn't seem to care.

"The handcuffs are quirk-proof so you can't get them off no matter how hard you try." Mina said. I watched as her and Uraraka carefully cuffed me and Todoroki together. Surprisingly, the handcuffs didn't feel too rough against my skin and my hands could still move around, which was a relief.

"Wow kinky, I like it!"

"Shut up and get out, Mineta!" Everybody in the room demanded, and Mineta was forced to have a timeout outside, pouting and making faces through the clear, glass window.

Mina faced us again and tossed us a small square object with a red button on the center, "However, if you press that button you will be free from your handcuffs, but only press it if you really need to and the handcuffs will disappear for a few minutes or so. And you only have one chance so use it wisely and carefully," She instructed. Me and Todoroki nodded.

"There, that should do it."Mina locked the handcuffs with a key and slid it safely back into her pockets.

Urarak spinned the bottle again, a mischievous grin on her face. "It's time for another round!"

Everyone groaned in frustration, praying that their luck isn't as unfortunate as ours.
~~~

For the rest of the game, everyone was too focused on playing their truth and dares that they forgot me and Todoroki and the whole hand thing even existed. And before we knew it, time past by like the summer wind outside the dorms. Everyone went off to go somewhere, leaving the two of us, awkwardly holding each other's hands like our lives depended on it.

There's no training today so we practically have the whole day to ourselves doing whatever we want; resting, binge watching movies, reading and doing things that normal people do.

"So..." I started, unsure of what to say.."What do you want to do today?"

"We can go eat lunch, if you want."

I nodded. "I'm starving too! Let's gooo!"

It must've been awkward to see the same gender holding hands while being cuffed, which is true for the passing by strangers that looks at us like they've seen something horrifying. It's not everyday you see these kind of things.

"Just ignore them." Todoroki sighed and walked faster.

"I..uh..sorry. Okay." I mumbled quietly, matching up my pace alongside him.

It's mostly quiet between us. I already know that Todoroki isn't the type to start conversations, let alone engage in one. I noticed that he was really quiet in and out of school. We don't usually talk with each other, except during training and anything that involves beating up villains.

"Hey...Todoroki-kun, are you okay holding hands with me? Don't you feel embarrassed?" I said quietly.

Todoroki was silent for a while and I thought he hadn't heard me at all.

"I..I used to get embarrassed doing all these touchy things in public, but it's not so bad. I actually feel comfortable and warm doing this." Todoroki responded, his other hand covering his face and I could see that he was trying to hide his blushing face, but he looks so...soft. I've never seen this side of Todoroki before, and it makes me feel warm that he's not really as cold or tough as they thought him to be.

"Same here..the person I only held hands with is my mom.." I admitted, bowing my head in embarrassment.

The sun is blinding my eyes, and it suddenly felt so warm. Too warm. I looked beside me and saw that Todoroki's shirt is in flames. It's orange and yellow flames moving with the wind. I gasped, a hand over my mouth as I witnessed the disaster that's happening.

"Todoroki-kun! Your shirt is on fire!" I screamed and Todoroki's face went back to serious to panic to serious. He looked at his shoulder and noticed that the fire already ate away his shirt, his bare arms exposed to the humid breeze. I tried to blow it away, but it wasn't working.

Todoroki dropped to the ground, bringing me along with him. "This might be awkward, but just hold on tight."

"O-okay."

I blushed when he gripped both of my shoulders and began to embrace me tightly to his chest, and with me on top of his body, he rolled around the pavement to prevent the flames from spreading anywhere else. After a few more rolls, we were both exhausted and dehydrated from the heat, we sat up from the ground. I dusted off the tiny pebbles that were sticking to my clothes and hair. "That was fun," I grinned and Todoroki's face was still reddish.

"Oh man," Todoroki groaned, "Sorry that had to happen. Often when my feelings get too extreme, my flames or my ice tend to act up..depending on what I feel," He scratched his messy hair. His clothes were burnt and black from the soot that came from the fire, only one side of his shirt managed to survive while the other half...left him..naked.

I quickly covered my eyes from the sinful sight. "I..uhm..If you don't mind I packed an extra clothing and you can use..it..if you want but I don't know if it will fit you...or do you want to go to Kmart and..and buy another shirt?" I took out the shirt from my bag and handed it over to the him. My hands must be shaking from the nervousness. Why am I even acting this way just by looking at another boy's body?!

"Uhh it's impossible to change like this."

I looked at Todoroki (well, tried not to look at his body) who was pointing at the handcuffs that linked our wrists together.

"Oh. Right. We'll need to push that button."

My other hand wandered around my pockets to find the square thing that Mina gave us awhile ago and when I felt the familiar shape of it, I took it out and showed it to Todoroki, who was nodding his head, "Go on."

I hesitantly pushed the button.

Then as if by magic, the handcuffs vanished in thin air and my wrists felt more weightless than before. I remembered Todoroki was still half naked so I looked anywhere but there.

I didn't know how long this freedom from handcuffs and hand holding was going to last, but I was going to enjoy every moment of it.

"Thank you Midoriya, I'll quickly change into it now."

What!?

"What!? In public!?" I shook my head in disbelief.

"Yes, I'm done anyway. You can look now."

That was fast.

Slowly, I opened my eyes cautiously and...AHHHHHHHHHH. Todoroki sat there, cluelessly, as I was mentally screaming in my head about how embarrassing and tiny the shirt looks like on him, but somehow Todoroki looks so cute..and sexy wearing it. My shirt is too small and tight for Todoroki's body, so it almost looked like a crop top, which meant that I could see his abs and lines that defined his body...

I shook my head and mentally slap myself. No, enough about that!

"Sorry.. that's the only shirt I brought," I awkwardly facepalmed myself, looking away. There was also a picture of all might on the center of the shirt. Todoroki must think I'm a super crazy fanboy which is true.

"No it's okay. It's better than being naked."
—————
After Todoroki got changed, the handcuffs suddenly appeared and our wrists and hands were stuck together once again. We got used to it somehow.

Me and Todoroki settled to eat ice cream after finding out that the ramen shop is closed and would open tomorrow. In this hot weather, an ice cream sounds so refreshing right now and that's how we ended up in a field of grass, shielded away from the sun by the shadow of the trees.

Todoroki's icecream was rapidly melting and he seemed so sad about it, saying that he never had an icecream that could last for more than 30 seconds.

At the end of the day, we lay on the grass, our hair, skin and clothes touching the green strands of earth and our bellies facing the sky that had big white clouds that resembled anything...

I closed my eyes, listening to the birds and the rustling leaves...

"Izuku, wake up."

I rubbed my eyes gently, "But it's Saturday.." and my head fell back to the soft cushion. The cushion grunted. My eyes flew open.

The surroundings weren't from my home, but a park? Wait, did I somehow fell asleep while going on a park with Todoroki? Then what is this soft thing that I'm sleeping on..

I immediately sat up, my heart pounding from my chest when my eyes met Todoroki's who was laying there underneath me.

"Uhh.." I could feel my face heating up, "Did I accidentally...sleep on you?" I placed my hands on my face. There was also a drool on Todoroki's shirt and I already knew the answer.

Ahh, what will Todoroki think of me? Will he think I'm disgusting because I drool on people? What If I was also snoring like a pig, oh my gosh he's gonna hate me even more!

"Yes you did but-"

"Todoroki-kun! I'm sorry for drooling, sleeping and snoring on you. I promise I'll never do it again so please forgive me," I pleaded, my hands interlocking and shaking desperately.

Todoroki looked at me plainly. I can't tell what he's thinking with that straight face of his!

I closed my eyes tightly, afraid of what's going to come.

"Our friendship is over, Midorya. Well I was never your friend to begin with. I can't believe I needed to put up with you and your snores and you hugging me like a panda."

What if he says things like that? Or even worse...If Kacchan was here he would've taken a picture of my face and post it on Twitter and annoy me 24/7 about it.

Then I heard someone laughing.  Is it Todoroki? No it can't be.

But my thoughts were wrong and it was actually him. He had his head back, his hand covering his mouth as he bursted out laughing, his body shaking as he did. Then he fell back and rolled down the hill. Of course, I forgot that we were still handcuffed, so without warning, I tumbled alongside him, my body harshly colliding with the pebbles and dry soil.

"Here take my hand," Todoroki stretched out his palm to me. Hesistantly, my small hands tried to reach his, as we kept bumping and rolling. Eventually, when our hands grasped one another, he quickly pulled me towards him and pulled our bodies together.

"Oof." I grunted, as we finally fell on the smooth, flat ground. I landed on top of Todoroki once again. I quickly pushed myself  up, afraid I was going to squish him. "Sorry,"

Todoroki chuckled, "I should be the one saying sorry, I'm really clumsy and I was just too busy laughing."

Why was he laughing in the first place?

But somehow that thought faded as my thoughts and my eyes wandered to his face, and how beautiful he looked. He smiled, and grabbed my hands, "What I was going to say was that, I didn't mind you snoring, sleeping or doing whatever because everything you do," He paused and inched his face closer to mine. "Is cute."

My face heated up again. Soon I'll be a living heater if he keeps making me feel like this.

"What, what are you saying? And do-do you have to be that close to say that?" I pulled away so that he couldn't hear the rapid beating of my heart.

Todoroki smirked at me, "Do I need to spell it out for you?"

I..Why can't I say anything?!

"Umm...yes."

Wait what.

Todoroki was taken aback by my quick response, but he began to climb on top of me.

"Wait- wait don't you use paper and pencil for spelling?"

He just laughed, "Yea but we got none of those right now."

His face was closer now, and I could see his features more closely, from his eyes and nose to his plump, lips..they all look..perfect. I swallowed the nervousness down my throat.

And then suddenly, our lips touched, only to be separated quickly like it arrived. "It starts with C," He whispered.

He pecked my lips again. " Then U," I sat still, frozen and unsure of what to do. How did we get from spelling to kissing? Well...more like pecking for this matter. And why is my body not wanting to stop him? Instead I want him to keep going even though a part of me thinks it's wrong for us to do this...what will they think if they see this?

Is this okay? To kiss someone with the same gender as you? I don't know, but my mind is too lost to think if it's right or not.

Closing my eyes tightly, I waited for the next one. I felt him lean in, and touch his lips against mine once again, "And that's T,"

"Then finally, E," Todoroki kissed me this time, but it felt different. It was longer and passionate and I can't believe I'm doing this and at the same time I don't know how to do this, because I've seen couples kissing in movies, but I never thought I would actually get a chance to be in the same situation, but with a boy.

I felt his hand snake it's way around my waist and he pulled me tightly onto his body. I wasn't thinking but my hands found and looped their way around his neck. My mouth continued to battle with his lips.

This went on for awhile until I realised I've been holding my breath all this time and so I pushed away from the kiss, taking huge deep breaths to calm the rapid beating of my heart.

"Are you okay?" Todoroki said, when I hid my red face against my palms. I can't possibly face him after this, it will just be embarrassing.

"Yes I am." I lied. How was I supposed to feel okay when the hottest (pun?maybe) boy just kissed me?! I'm scared yet there's excited butterflies swimming around my stomach and I can't decide which emotions to feel.

I peeked from the slight gap of my fingers, and I could see Todoroki starting to stand up, wiping off the leaves and dirt on him.

"I think we should get going now. The others are probably waiting for us." Todoroki suggested and offered a hand. I nodded, and slowly lifted away my palms. I shyly took his hands with my sweaty ones, as he pulled me up.

My knees wobbled, and a pain shot through my leg. "Ack!" I moaned, and my leg gave up on me, letting me fall to the ground once more. I rubbed my numb leg.

"Midorya! Can you still walk?" Todoroki squatted down.

I looked at my leg, and tried to move it, but it was cramping so much that I couldn't feel my leg at all, "I don't know.." I replied helplessly.

Sigh, why am I making things harder for both of us? I'm sure Todoroki will think I'm just a burden he needs to carry.

"Here, hop on." Todoroki turned around and faced his back to me. I stared at it dumbly.

"You want to carry me?" I asked, hesistantly. "What if I hurt your back or something?" I added, just making sure that Todoroki was sure of this.

"Yea. I can deal with it. I'll just piggyback you for now, okay?"

I sighed and dragged my body near Todoroki's. I allowed my hands to wrap around his body while my legs circle his waist. His hands found my legs and gripped them tightly.

I was suddenly lifted up in the air, and Todoroki, seemed effortlessly piggybacking me like an ordinary bag pack.

"Thank you," I blurted. Todoroki just hummed as a response and continued walking even if the wind kept blowing us back.

———

The walk to the dorms wasn't as awkward as before, but the thought of us kissing never left my mind. I didn't know if there was a meaning to that kiss, or if Todoroki was just playing around with my feelings, but Todoroki isn't the type to do that. Is he?

We arrived to the dorms to find Bakugo, Kaminari and Kirishima all huddled and sleeping in the big leather couch. I didn't know how they managed to fit but they did. Me and Todoroki tried not to laugh as we drew a moustache and 'baka-gou' on Kacchan's face. It was Todoroki's idea and somehow it felt nice to do something horrible once in a while.

We tiptoed to the kitchen, brought some foods with us and went to the rooftop.

By the time we got there, the sky became a blended shade of orange and pink, the sun slowly coming down from afar.

We sat near the fence, from where we could see the streets, traffic lights and busy people down below.

"You know, we should do this again." Todoroki munched on his chips as he said it. I looked at him, catching his gaze.

"Uhh huh.. Maybe..But we have exams and we need to study so.." I tried to come up with an excuse because..what did he mean by do this again?! Like do the kissing thing again? While being handcuffed and forced to hold each other's hands? Or seeing him naked?

I blushed just by thinking about it.

Although it left my poor heart feeling like it had just ran at a fast speed on a treadmill, a part of me actually enjoyed hanging out with him.

"I mean..not like being forced to hold each other's hand..Maybe we can go at a coffee shop and study together." He shrugged.

"And maybe kiss while we're at it."

I choked on my water.

"Or do you want to do it now?"
