Todoroki ended up defeating Izuku(still only using his ice), but it seemed like they both got pretty banged up. I was worried for both of them, and was glad when it was finally over. They left the arena and Todoroki came back up to the stands to us.

"Wow...that was amazing." I watched as he sat down.

"Thanks." He replied.

We talked a little longer about the match.

"Excuse me, I have to go use the bathroom." Todoroki got up.

"Ok, bye." I said as he walked away.

"It seems like you two are gonna have to go against each other at some point." Ura pointed out after he was gone.

"I doubt it, my next matchup is against Tokoyami and I don't think I can beat him." I responded.

"If you think one of you won't win, then why don't you even consider the fact that Todoroki might not win against Iida?" Ura asked.

"Because I know he will." I answered simply.

"I think you're more confident in him than you are in yourself." She sighed.

"Probably because he's more powerful and dependable than me." I replied, like the answer was obvious.

"Stop doing that! It's like you have zero self-confidence!" She reprimanded me.

I shrugged. Todoroki came back and sat with us. We watched the rest of the second round matches and I felt myself on the edge of my seat for each one. They were all exciting, but I was a bit worried for my classmates. It came time for Todoroki's match, and I felt confident that he would win. Iida was talented, but Todoroki was much stronger and knew what he was doing.

"Good luck, Todoroki." I spoke as he stood up.

"Thank you. I'll try my best, for you." He responded.

I felt a slight blush creep onto my face. What did he mean by that?

"Uh, yep! Go win!" I said awkwardly.

He walked away and Ura squealed.

"Did you HEAR that?!" She was smiling uncontrollably.

"My ship is sailing!" Mina said from the row above us.

I looked up.

"When did you get there??" I asked her.

"I've been here the whole time!" She replied, smirking.

"You heard...everything?" I asked.

"Yep!" She replied.

I covered my face with my hands.

"Oh god..." My words were muffled.

I'm sure I looked like a tomato, thinking about what Mina would do with this information. She'd probably spread gossip, or form a plan with the rest of the class again. I heard them both laughing.

"What's so funny?!" I asked, looking up at them.

"I think it's hilarious that you two act so awkward around each other. I kind of feel bad for Todoroki to be honest. He's been dropping hints this whole time, you've just been too blunt to pick up on it! He almost confessed in the kitchen, but Ochaco just HAD to barge in." Mina said.

She cast a joking glare at Ura.

"I didn't want the fish to die!" She defended herself.

"Confessed...?" I trailed off.

"Yeah! I mean, it's not like we were eavesdropping or anything, but he was TOTALLY about to confess to you." Mina said.

I thought about it for a minute. Was he really about to confess there?

"Hey Kaminari, did Todoroki ever say anything to you about y/n?" Mina asked him.

"Todoroki? Oh definitely. He talks about her all the time." He replied, laughing.

"Hear that?! All the time!" Ura turned towards.

"All the time..." I repeated, not quite getting it.

"What about you, Kiri? You were training with him the other day, weren't you?" Mina asked.

"Well yeah... He did talk about her a little bit." He said.

"A little bit? Only a little?" Mina asked.

"Well...maybe a little more than a little." He admitted.

"SEE! ALL. THE. TIME." Ura exclaimed.

I sighed.

"So y/n, do you like him?" Mina finally asked the dreaded question.

"I...I guess..."
