Chapter Text
“Ouch.”
Izuku grunts as he falls on the ground, landing directly on his ass. Well that certainly hurts; it’s surprising how much falling does hurt. You forget about it since people normally don’t fall every single day and it certainly surprised Izuku as he lays there on the ground.
“Watch where you’re going!”
“Why don’t you watch where you’re fucking going?!”
Who… who said that? Izuku snaps his head up, eyes widening a little bit at the man defending him right now. The jerk that bumped into him glares in their direction, but he quickly flinches back and runs away as soon as he meets the other guy’s eyes full of hatred. Izuku blinks as the man looks down at him and offers his hand.
“Are you alright?”
“Y-yeah.”
Izuku accepts his hand and is helped back up to his feet. He dusts himself off a little bit and stares over into the guy’s face.
“T-thanks.”
“Don’t mention it. That asshole could have at least apologized to you. Are you sure you’re okay?”
Izuku flutters his eyelashes a little bit and nods his head, “yeah, it wasn’t a rough landing. I was more surprised than anything; I can’t remember the last time I fell.”
“I wouldn’t make it a habit unless you like falling.”
“Hehehehe,” Izuku giggles out loudly, “I shouldn’t, huh? I’m Izuku Midoriya.”
“Shouto Todoroki.”
“Thanks for your help Shouto. That was really nice of you to do; I’m not used to people standing up for me.”
“I hate it when people are assholes. If I saw that guy again I would shove him for you.”
“Hahaha, you’re really funny Shouto.”
Shouto blinks, eyes widening slightly a bit at the bright smile that’s being directed at him, “I… don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone call me that before.”
“Huh? What, funny?”
“Yeah.”
“Hehehe, well I can’t see why not.”
Izuku smiles at him and Shouto smiles right back.
This is the first time they meet.
