Chapter 10 - 10

I wonder why she's so nervous. This isn't like her. Izuku thought, trying not to frown in concern. Todoroki watched, looking eager, as if he was re-reading his favorite part I'm a book he'd read over and over. "Give me a minute here.." Uraraka said, taking some deep breaths. "Ok, um..." She looked down at the letter as if it was the only thing she could focus on. "Dear Deku, I'm sorry about what happened to you a few nights ago, but I know you can pull through! You're stronger than any other kid I've met my age. Youre always so determined to do the right thing, so determined to make everyone around you smile and be themselves. You remind me of one of the former best pro heroes, one that never gives up, no matter how hard it gets. And he happens to be your favorite. But I have ome more thing to tell you. You might find it weird, or awkward, and I wouldn't blame you. I'm weird and awkward myself. But I need to get this off my chest or it'll drive me crazy. Deku-" She looked at him instead of the paper, and he could see how nervous she was, espically when she finished her sentence. "I-I have a crush on you." Todoroki gave a small smile, silently telling her she did great. Izuku flushed deeply, and Uraraka did too, before trying to apologize. "N-no, quit apologizing, it's-it's awesome! I mean-um-i-its just that-uh-I-have a crush on you." Uraraka flushed ever deeper, if that was possible. Izuku would've thought she was running our of air if she hadn't read the letter to him. Suddenly, Todoroki clapped. "Glad I could help, Uraraka. And, Deku, I also have something for you." Izuku wondered how Todoroki could continue on like nothing had happened. Like Uraraka hadn't just confessed her feelings which led to him confessing his. "O-oh? You didn't have to-" "Midoriya, just take it." "Ok...." Todoroki plunged his hand into a green bag, grabbed whatever was in it, and carefully pulled it out. "Its my first time, so it's not great, but it's something." He pulled out a small, glass sculpture, and it was of all of class 1-A, with tiny shards of ice that sparkled inside when the light hit them. "Todoroki, i-its beautiful! Are you sure it's your first time making one?" Todoroki scratched the back of his head. "I had some help from an instructor. The hardest part was figuring out how to put those ice shards in there without them melting." "I bet!" "Todoroki, you really are talented, you know?"
