Mellow

Prompt: Person A and Person B roast a marshmallow over a campfire. || “Why shouldn't they help themselves, after the way they'd been treated?”

Pairing: Shouto Todoroki x Reader

Content: Fluff, Just two pals having fun

A/N: Trying to get the brain juices flowing during all this time in quarantine so I decided to use a prompt generator. And well now here we are. I’m having fun with these prompt generators so we’ll see what happens :D

“Marshmallows?” Todoroki tilted his head, eyebrows raised as he glanced at you curiously. Triumphantly, you hoist a bag of marshmallows up for him to see, a bright smile splayed across your face.

“Yes! But not only that,” you pause as you bend down to rummage through your bag. It’s filled with all the essentials needed for your camping trip plus some extras for funsies. After a few moments of rummaging, your eyes light up as you find what you’ve been looking for. Swiftly, you pulled out two items from the bag, presenting them to Todoroki with a wide smile on your face. “I also brought graham crackers and chocolate!”

Todoroki’s eyebrows pulled inward, an inquisitive look present on his face. Why would you bring so many snacks for the two of you to share? Surely you’re aware that this was too much for the both of you. Especially seeing as how Todoroki wasn’t much of a fan of sweets. “Isn’t that a bit much for the two of us to share? I’d think the marshmallows would be enough for the two of us to share.”

His genuine concern causes you to burst into loud hearty laughter. He watched curiously as you threw your head back, gripping the bags tightly so they wouldn’t fall. He’s thoroughly confused; he hadn’t said anything particularly funny had he? No, he’d just made a factually correct statement. Nevertheless, a small amused smile made its way onto his lips. He had always found your laughter endearing. Your laughter died down after a moment, but the look of amusement was still present in your face as you spoke, “We’re not gonna eat them separately, Todo. We’re making smores!”

“Smores?” The word, although familiar, feels foreign as he spoke. To his recollection, he’d never heard of such a thing before. And looking at the three ingredients you held, he couldn’t fathom how they could ever go together. He doesn’t have to wait long for an explanation because you’re taking a seat next to him and speaking once again.

“Yeah! Smores!” The enthusiasm in your voice is near infectious as you continue to speak. “I haven’t made them before but, I’ve read a bunch of books where they talked about them. And well, I saw some videos, and they seem pretty easy to make!” You fuss about with the bag of marshmallows, attempting to open the bag as neatly as possible. Ultimately, the bag rips easily, which sends a few marshmallows flying. You blink slowly, a look of befuddlement spreading across your face. At this display, Todoroki lets out an airy chuckle, causing you to let out some small chuckles as well.

“I, uh,” you start off hesitantly, a small smile playing on your lips, “ also remembered how you said you didn’t get to do a lot of this stuff when you were a kid.” You pause for a moment before clarifying, “The fun stuff that is.” You speak softly, slow and cautious as if trying not to cause him discomfort. It feels intimate when you speak like this. As if your words are only for him to hear. “And well, since I didn’t have the best childhood either, I thought it’d be cool to do this together.” You end with a hopeful lilt to your voice, fiddling with the open bag as you avoid his gaze.

He can feel a warmth blooming within his body as he observes you. Another unknown emotion stirs awake, deep within his chest. His breathing feels a little constricted now. No one’s ever thought about doing something like this for him. Usually, when he spoke about his past, where he mentioned the strained relationship he has with his father, he would just garner quite a bit of pity. No one had ever thought of helping him experience what he’d lost out on when he was younger.

No one but you, of course. The only other person who had the slightest understanding of how he felt would be the one to think up this idea. Sure, the days of your childhoods were long gone. The trauma that came with it was in the process of healing, nearing its completion. So why shouldn’t you help yourselves? After the way, you’d been treated? You wouldn’t be enjoying it any less if anything you’d be enjoying it more. It’d be an intimate celebration of how far you’d both made it since then.

“Alright,” he’s giving you a shy smile now, “show me how it’s done then.” At the sound of his words, he sees you come back to life. The bashfulness you held before completely melting off your body as you begin to get things prepared ready for your little activity. The air feels different now. He’s not sure if he’s imagining it, but it feels more lively, full of love. It’s comfortable and cozy as if there were a protective bubble protecting the two of you next to this fire from the rest of the world.

Together, you skewer your marshmallows and place them over the fire. The crackling from the fire fills the space between you, comfortable silence envelopes the area. Flames dance within their contained area, casting moving shadows through the area. Todoroki breathes deeply, attempting to memorize the smoky smell of the fire that mixed with the sweet smell of sugar caramelizing.

“Thank you for doing this with me.” Softly, the words slip out of his mouth easily. They always seem to do that when he speaks with you. Out of the corner of his eye, he can see the side of your mouth lift up, creating a lopsided grin.

“Really. No one’s ever done something like this for me before.” He lets the words float there for a moment, hoping you can understand the underlying message he’s trying to convey before he speaks again.

“Perhaps, we could recreate more missing childhood memories together?”

For a moment, he’s worried he’s overstepped. You inhale sharply, stilling for a second as he waits for you to respond. Slowly, you turn to him; your face lit up. If he thought he’d seen you at your absolute happiest, he’d been wrong before. This was your absolute happiest. A smile, brighter and wider than any he’s seen you make, is adorning your face. The curves of your cheeks are amplified as well as the crinkling around your eyes. He’s positive you’ve never smiled at anyone else like this before. His body feels warmer now, not because of the fire.

“Of course! That sounds like it’d be super fun!” You tilt your head to the side, eyes closed, smile just as wide. He’s already making it his mission to try and get this reaction out of you again.

“Oh! It’s time to pull them out!” Gleefully you pull the roasted cloud of sugar towards you. Inspecting the rich brown textured surface. “Okay, so here’s a trick I saw some people do.” You snap off a piece of the chocolate bar and slide it into the marshmallow through one of the cracked edges.

“Just like this, so that the chocolate can melt!” You guide Todoroki through the process of building the smore. It’s not a complex concept, but he likes listening to your voice, and so he lets himself be guided. Once assembled, you look at him joyfully, practically radiating with excitement.

“Okay, ready?”

He gives you a small nod.

“Three, Two, One!”

There’s a burst of distinct sugary flavors as he takes his first bite. All three of the pieces that made up the snack complement each other in a beautiful medley of flavors. It’s good. He probably would have loved this as a child. He watches you with interest, as you hum in satisfaction. Thoroughly enjoying the sugary delight. You open your eyes, the light of the fire highlighting the joy within them.

“It’s delicious, isn’t it?”

Words fail him now. He nods his head, unable to speak. He takes another bite.

It’s sweet. But spending time with you is sweeter.

Bonus:

“Hey, do you think I can roast a marshmallow in my hand?”

The question throws you so off guard that you find yourself laughing at what Todoroki proposed. He’s eerily quiet, so you turn to look at him as giggles continue to escape you. He’s holding a plush marshmallow in his left hand, blinking owlishly at the treat.

The sight sends you into another stream of laughter. “You’re, you’re not serious ri-” You manage to squeeze part of your sentence between breaths before stopping for two reasons.

Todoroki’s left hand just burst into flames.

Reason #1 has sent you into another fit of laughter.

After a few seconds, the flames cease. Curiously you lean closer to inspect the object in his hand, barely suppressing your laughter once more.

He blinks slowly as he stares at his hand.

“Oh my, oh my god.” You wheeze out, holding onto your sides. “You burnt it!”

Love Headcanons

Featuring: Shouto Todoroki

A/N: So I was actually planning on making more than one boy have their own love headcanons but I din’t finish those in time so I’m sending my boy Todoroki up here by himself. Really just trying to write to get me out of this rut. We’ll see how it goes :D Kisses xxx

Love is like a river for Todoroki, flowing slowly but constantly. Every moment that passes increases the intensity.

It’s certainly not his intention. Not that you’re a terrible person at all. He just hadn’t planned on ever finding someone to love.

Not with the way it’s been presented in his home. He knows there’s healthier examples of love in the world but he can’t even get in touch with his daily emotions. How the hell is he supposed to love someone?

He’s just numb. He tells himself that he’s not given up on love. He’s just saving it for later. Once everything’s settled, and he’s established himself as a hero.

But as we all know, things don't always go to plan.

It started before the sports festival in your third year. Your last sports festival has old feelings of doubt resurfacing. And so he decides to go visit his mom.

It’s on his way into the hospital that he sees you. You’re standing at the desk talking animatedly with the staff members there. As he walks closer he sees that you’re also handing out little bags full of what he thinks look like baked goods.

One of the nurses notices him and greets him causing you to turn to him. You greet him with a warm smile.

“Hi Todoroki-kun! I didn’t expect to see you here. Visiting your mom?”

You were so bright, your tone reflecting your outward cheer that all he could do was nod. He was a little bewildered when you handed him two of the goody bags from your basket.

“I’m visiting my dad and these are his favorites. Everyone seems to like them so maybe you and your mom will like them too!” With that you waved bye to the nurses and made your way down the hallway towards your dad's room.

He could feel the blush on his cheeks, both from your actions and embarrassment from how he was reacting to your actions.

His mom definitely noticed how he blushed even harder when he said a “friend” who was visiting their dad had given him these snacks for them. She’d let him come talk to her about them later.

After that day, he couldn’t help how his mind would wander over to thoughts of you. He’d always seen you in classes and around school but he’d never actually paid attention to you.

But now, he couldn't help the way his eyes were constantly drawn to you. Or the way he somehow managed to always find himself a few feet away from you.

It was a coincidence, he told himself. But in reality his feet mindlessly carried him to you. Almost as if he had an itch to be closer to you.

He picks up on all the little things you do. Your little quirks, your body language, the way you tap your fingers to your thighs when you’re deep in thought. He picks it all up.

His favorite moments to watch are the times you act instinctively. That’s when your true colors come out.

It warmed his heart to see that you were kind by nature. Offering your help to anyone who needed it.

Someone needed to vent emotionally? You were there.

A shoulder to cry on? You were there.

Maybe some platonic cuddling or PDA because being in the hero course is hard and we have feelings too? You were there, with a good blanket, a good set of movies, and the best hugs UA had to offer.

Of course, he never partook in any of those scenarios. Lord, it was hard enough to just talk to you but still.

Watching from afar constantly just fanned his feelings until those little drops of emotions he felt from thinking about you suddenly became a river of love.

And what does he do now? Absolutely nothing because he doesn’t know how to handle this. He keeps watching from afar.

You’re too good, too kind, too loving. You deserve someone better. Someone brave enough to take that chance.

He just doesn’t think that’s him.
