"I didn't expect Todoroki to make something like this. That...kinda makes me worry if he's OK. He doesn't strike me as the gift-giving type." Izuku, Iida, and Uraraka were sitting at the same lunch table, eating, and talking. Izuku had been cleared to move around three days after the whole gift-giving session. He was happy. He felt like sitting still, unable to move, only capable of talking, had driven him insane. Now, he had a bunch of pent-up energy, and planned on letting it our during training today. "Maybe at first glance. But he does care, Deku. About everyone." Iida told him, before slurping up his noodles without making a sound. "Of course he does! He might seem like a tough guy at first, but get close enough to him, and I'm sure he'd be like Deku!" Izuku almost choked, his face red. "That's, uh, a good thing, right?" Uraraka finished taking a bite of her rice, her face a bit pink. "Why wouldn't it be? You were so determined when fighting Overhaul to save Eri. You were so determined to protect Kota even if that meant you lost your life. Everything you do, you're always so passionate, Deku. Protective, caring, kind....That's one reason I've been crushing on you." Izuku flushed, and hid his face in his arms, wanting to say something but left with no words.
