Surrounded by the obscurity that her hair was, she was the closest girl to him and someway, she seemed so far away. Yaoyorozu was brilliant in every sense of the word, her intelligence and her elegant demeanor let him frazzled and he couldn’t do more than stare and appreciate he was able to see the beauty she exude.Yaoyorozu was powerful, not only for her quirk and quick way of thinking, but because with even one sweet word or praise dedicated to him in that soft and excited voice of her, she could completely mess up his behavior to an internally nervous one. With the slight touch or a gaze that lingered longer than he was comfortable with, the everything hero could completely mess up his sleep schedule and leave him with thoughts of her running freely through his head, as he was unable to calm himself down. And sometimes, when Todoroki was feeling like crap, with only the memory of her smile she could unwillingly illuminate his darkest nights, where all his pains are being revived in the depths of his heart. It always worked and it left him with an everlasting feeling of affection and peace, and unlike every other night he ever had before he meet her and could fully see her with the attention she deserved, he could return to sleep, knowing that her smile was guarding him over from above if he woke up again.But, like the moon, she sometimes hide and pass her own brightness as the reflection of someone else, until she could finally accept that her place in the universe was earned due her hard work and that she deserved to shine even brighter than the sun. Todoroki admired her. But sometimes, she was a mystery. He would surprise himself staring at her, trying to decipher and admiring her, heterochromatic eyes full of an endless curiosity that only the raven haired girl could wake up. She would look at him and give him one of her little fond smiles that made his chest warm, the kind of smile that Yaoyorozu only gave to him and he would feel grateful, and even a little proud when he caught her black eyes looking at him like he also was a fascinating celestial body in her world, as if the girl was trying to decipher his deepest feelings while running her eyes all over him, taking every little detail. Todoroki would smile with a hand under his chin, because a blush would creep on her face, and the soft red appearing slowly on her cheeks would look like starts meddling in the way of her face, that would somehow accentuate the attractive way all the colors on her slight nervous face contrast and he would gulp and blush himself for finding the view in front of him absolutely breath taking.
And in silence, he would know the whole universe was focus on the moon, because she was the whole universe and all he could think off as they gaze at each other, effectively ignoring the class in front of them.
