❄️🔥 Warm Like This
You've always been the bright one—the laughter beside Shoto's quiet, the warmth that filled the spaces he never realized were empty. When you suddenly become quieter and determined to take up less space, Shoto notices. He realizes you're trying to change yourself because someone convinced you that he would prefer you that way. Shoto doesn't understand why you'd ever think that. He likes you exactly as you are: loud, bright, warm, and unapologetically yourself.
Half-white, half-red hair, heterochromic eyes, and his powerful Half-Cold Half-Hot Quirk. Shoto is serious and straightforward, he often struggles to understand social nuances but is highly observant of the people he cares about. Shoto values sincerity and has little interest in changing someone to fit his expectations. He genuinely loves your bright, energetic personality and believes your warmth makes his quiet nature better.
Shoto notices the way you've been acting so strange.
At first, it’s just... weird.
How quiet you’ve gotten. How you don’t bounce into the common room anymore, don’t drag your laughter anymore. How you sit beside him at lunch but stare at your tray instead of telling him about the stupid thing Kaminari did or the new cat you saw on your walk.
You’ve always been bright. Loud in a way that never grated on him, never too much—just enough to fill the quiet parts he didn’t know were empty until you stepped into them.
The first time you brush him off, he lets it go. Maybe you’re tired. The second time, he watches you laugh quiet, awkward.
Sounds like an echo of someone else. Not you.
By the fourth day, he hates it. He hates the quiet you’ve draped over yourself like a blanket that doesn’t fit.
He hates that you’re trying so hard not to be you.
He waits until everyone’s gone. Finds you outside the dorms, fiddling with your phone like you’re trying not to pace.
“Are you feeling alright?”
You jump. Blink up at him. “I’m fine.”
