Todoroki's POV

"So what did you call me back there?" I asked with a grin as we stepped out of the restaurant.
"N-nothing." stuttered Y/N as her face turned a light pink.
"Are you sure, Babe?" I asked. Y/N grabbed Eri's hand and picked up her pace. I watched as Eri turned her head to face me and stuck her tongue out yet again.
"Bad apple." she said before turning to face forwards. I sighed as I followed behind them. Every now and then, they would stop and look in through a shop window. Eri looked around with wide, curious eyes. We walked a couple more blocks until we arrived at the zoo.

"Eri, stay with Soba Man. I'm going to get our wristbands." Y/N said. Eri nodded her head and walked towards me while Y/N walked towards the ticket booth.
"Y/N told me to stay with Bad Apple." stated Eri as she grabbed my hand.
"What happened to 'Soba Man?'" I asked with a sigh.
"Soba Man became a bad apple. So now Soba Man is Bad Apple." she replied.
"Okay, guys, I got the wristbands." called Y/N as she rushed towards us. She handed both me and Eri paper bracelets. "Do you guys know how to put it on? One end is a sticker and you just wrap it around your wrist." she said as she wrapped hers around her wrist. I struggled while Eri held hers up to Y/N who put it on for her. "Are you in need of assistance, Soba Man?" laughed Y/N.
"No, I can do this." I replied. I shall not be defeated by a piece of paper.
"Let me do it." sighed Y/N as she took the paper from my hands. She wrapped it carefully, making sure it wasn't too loose or too tight. "There!" she exclaimed with a smile. She then turned to Eri. She held her hand in front of her and I watched as a ribbon formed in her hand. "Eri, give me your other wrist." said Y/N. Eri held it up to her and I watched as Y/N tied the ribbon around her wrist. "If something happens, just untie it. I'll be able to sense the movement and teleport to you immediately, okay?" Eri nodded her head. "Good!" cheered Y/N. "That means we can go in!" Eri suddenly grabbed my right hand and Y/N's left and began dragging us towards the entrance and into the zoo.
"Don't they need to check the wrist bands?" I asked as we made our way inside.
"There's a person with a sensing quirk. If they sense someone without a wristband, they'll stop them immediately." replied Y/N. "So what should we visit first?"
"Giraffes!" exclaimed Eri.
"That's towards the back." stated Y/N. "If we go that way." she said, pointing in one direction. "We'll go past the elephants." She pointed in a other direction. "If we go that way, we'll go past the birds."
"Birds!" exclaimed Eri before running off in that direction, dragging both me and Y/N behind her. Y/N smiled as Eri gazed through the windows leading into the bird enclosures.

"We can go inside. I'll buy some bird food if you want to feed them." Y/N said. Y/N led us to a door to the side. We stepped inside. "Go ahead and walk around. I'll quickly buy some food." said Y/N before making her way towards a counter. There were lots of people inside and Eri seemed very cautious of them. Someone accidentally bumped into her and she gripped my hand tighter. Y/N returned with three bags of seeds and gave one to me and Eri, leaving the third for herself. She reached inside, scooping up a handful. Eri and I watched as a bird immediately flew onto Y/N's hand, eating the seeds. Eri did the same and a bird flew to hers.
"Do it too." said Y/N with a smile. I took a handful of bird feed and held it in the air. My eyes widened as a swarm of birds began fighting over the food in my hand. I flinched and attempted to retrace my hand. Y/N laughed as some of the seeds got in my hair and the birds swarmed around my head. Eri stared at me blankly.
"Bad apple." she said. Y/N was still laughing. Where are the supervisors?! Y/N stopped laughing and used her petals the gently guide the birds away from me. I let out a sigh of relief. Y/N ran her hand through my hair, brushing out any seeds still inside.
"Looks like birds like you. I wonder what'll happen at the petting zoo." she said with a laugh.
"I refuse to feed any more animals." I huffed.
"All right." she laughed. I watched as she held her hand up with seeds again and a bird flew to it. Suddenly, I felt my bag of seeds be taken from my hands. I looked down to see Eri reaching into it and holding up her hand. I assumed she had run out of bird feed. A bird flew towards her as well.
"Birds calmly eat the seeds from your hands while I was attacked by a swarm." I sighed.
"Do you think Tokoyami or Dark Shadow would like to eat this?" Y/N suddenly asked. "It would basically be trail mix, right?"
"Good question. I have no idea." I replied.
"Done!" exclaimed Eri. Did the bird really eat that fast?? I watched as Y/N created a small bowl of petals and poured the remainder of her bird feed inside before setting it down on the ground. Several birds flicked towards it.

"Giraffe time?" asked Eri.
"Yea, giraffe time." laughed Y/N as she grabbed her hand. "Come on, Sho-chan."
"I get my name back?" I questioned as I followed behind them.
"I'll give you three choices." stated Y/N. "Soba Man, Bad Apple, or Sho-chan."
"I think we both know the answer to that." I replied.
"Bad Apple." stated Eri.
"What- No." I said.
"Fine, Sho-chan." laughed Y/N as she grabbed my hand. "Hurry up, we want to see the giraffes."

Bad Apple.
