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
Tumblr media
》* 。 • ˚ ˚ ˛ ˚ ˛ • 。* 。° 。* 。 • ˚《 》* 。 • ˚ ˚ ˛ ˚ ˛ • 。* 。° 。* 。 • ˚《
“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!”

Todoroki Shouto
Tumblr media
I felt like doing a character meme!
Favorite thing about him:
Is it cheating to say everything? It is? Okay… I love how he’s painfully kind while also painfully bad with people. I love how he swore not to use his fire half, and he took that oath so seriously that he felt pulling Midoriya aside to apologize and explain (in depth) was necessary. I love that his hand trembled when he went to see his mom—especially that he was so afraid of being like Endeavor, he couldn’t bear to show his face to her for years in case she mistook him again. I love how he learns from his mistakes, whether it’s combat-related like blocking his field of vision against Stain or emotional like realizing how his spiteful focus on Endeavor has blinded him to the needs of people around him. I love how he doesn’t feel the need to posture and act like he has the answers: he can openly admit he doesn’t know and that he needs to reflect more to find the right path for him. I love how rude he is. I love how he unquestionably leapt to Midoriya and Iida’s aid in Hosu. I love his fight against Midoriya.
Least favorite thing about him:
Hmm…most of my problems are with Horikoshi, not Todoroki. I like that Todoroki’s reaction to Endeavor vs the nomu was complex, that he was afraid for Endeavor, cares about him, and is ambivalent about the idea of Endeavor’s “redemption,” but I wish his love for his dad had more of a foundation—from what Horikoshi shows us, I have no idea why he cares about Endeavor other than a vague, dissatisfying “he’s my dad” feeling. Why are Todoroki’s feelings more complicated than flawless loathing? What’s the basis for his ambivalent affection towards Endeavor? I wish I knew more.
Okay, for about Todoroki specifically in-universe…I guess I wish he would talk a little more. He seems like he struggles with finding a middle ground between saying nearly nothing and oversharing.
Favorite line:
That’s a nasty scar you got there *SLUUURP* and are you All Might’s lovechild. I also loved it when Todoroki glared dramatically at Endeavor and then failed hard at introducing himself to the kids.
…And I love the line where Bakugo stridently claims no, he will not tell stupid Deku his brand-new, top-secret hero name, and Todoroki cluelessly asks, “Could you tell me, then?”
BROTP:
Midoriya, Bakugo, Yaoyorozu, Iida—I think those relationships really speak for themselves <3
This fic made me love Todoroki and Kaminari, please give me Todoroki working on his sense of humor and he asks Kaminari for help, only to repeatedly and ignorantly roast Kaminari while attempting to learn.
Also, Asui and Todoroki are really underrated; I feel like they’d have understated but interesting chemistry. They’re both exceptionally blunt, and unlike some of the others, Asui is perceptive+grounded enough to notice how awkward and uncertain Todoroki is (instead of the coolest, handsomest boy in class image). I’d LOVE to see them talk about their siblings, since Asui is the oldest and she takes care of her mini frog siblings, and Todoroki is the baby of the family who’s trying to figure out his relationships with Fuyumi and Natsuo (and eventually, Dabi). Oh, and Asui has more respect for authority than Todoroki does, so also seeing them clash over that would be interesting.
Or! Maybe Todoroki finally, accidentally catches Hagakure in one of his area ice moves and feels really bad about it, so Hagakure teaches him to watch out for her by making a game out of sneaking up on him. She also exercises some teenage flirtation in his direction and he has no idea.
Or imagine Jirou trying to figure out if Todoroki has feelings for Momo and accidentally becoming friends as she susses him out and realizes he’s an irredeemable dork instead of ice prince badass. She’s appalled he doesn’t know much about music!
OTP Rarepairs:
Todoroki/everyone basically, so it’s more interesting to talk about my todo rarepairs than run of the mill ships. 
Todoroki/Shinsou is cute…they both enter class 1-a with the attitude “I’m not here to make friends” and get hit with a match versus Midoriya in the Sports Festival—oops! They both became heroes partly from antagonistic spite, to defy Endeavor / the stereotype of brainwashing, which throw long shadows over who they fear they could become, and despite being on the quiet side they’re both pretty dramatic. Idk much about Shinsou’s backstory, but he definitely has a bit of a depressed, wary aura about him together with his fiercely idealistic, “I will never be like that” attitude, a combination that would resonate with Todoroki.
Probably at first Shinsou would be pretty cold to Todoroki, since even after being accepted into class 1-a he’d have some lingering resentment for those who are naturally blessed and admission was a slam dunk, and, in an effort to prove himself against the quietest of the strongest students, he’d make it his mission to provoke+brainwash Todoroki. Despite himself, Shinsou gets attached as he tries to figure Todoroki out, and he realizes the sorts of obstacles this “naturally blessed, slam-dunk admission” student had to overcome to get here.
In short, I’m a sucker for it ok, brotp or otp i’m down, but also in this case the romantic element of seeing themselves in each other gets to me bad.
Second rarepair, Todoroki/Hawks—hear me out ok!! These two would have the funny elements of Hawks/Endeavor but without Endeavor’s grossness. Even after he makes pro, Todoroki admires Hawks as the number two hero whose playful, casual MO is radically different from his own, more solemn style, and Hawks delights in being obnoxious and pokes fun at the straightforward, a bit dense Todoroki every opportunity he gets. Todoroki recognizes Hawks’s playful demeanor and knows he’s joking, but…being a dork…he doesn’t know what to say, so he just responds with total seriousness. Hawks is perceptive enough to know Todoroki noticed the joke, and Hawks’s awareness of that transforms Todoroki’s awkwardness into a dry, deadpan sarcasm, and the two of them can actually, like…have banter.
Working with Hawks semi-regularly, Todoroki has to rise to the challenge of meeting Hawks’s quips with enough insight and empathy to intuit the bleaker truths behind Hawks’s facade as this guy who doesn’t want to work too hard. Todoroki grew up as Endeavor’s tool, Hawks grew up as the hero commission’s tool; Todoroki responded with defiance, Hawks responded with salty compliance; Todoroki prioritizes his personal moral compass over the law/government, Hawks prioritizes the government over both his moral compass and the law; and Todoroki admires All Might, whom Hawks professes not to be so fond of, while Hawks admires Endeavor, knows Dabi, and all the obvious issues that brings up—so I think these two have tons of common ground to build a rapport and also clash with each other in ways that would be interesting for their development. For example, Todoroki can tell Hawks it’s your power and encourage him to take hold of his own destiny instead of being used, and Hawks can help Todoroki work on the shortage of social acuity he inherited from Endeavor.
I love the brotp but the otp has such comedic potential fused with such tragic potential, like by taking hold of his fate Hawks makes some choices Todoroki can’t forgive, and by helping Todoroki learn to connect to people Hawks opens him up for a world of pain when things go south, I can’t resist.
NOTP:
As long as the execution is good, I’m good. A ship that I hate in one person’s hands, I might love in another’s.
Random headcanon:
Todoroki is the #1 cockblocker in Class A. Nobody kills romantic tension like Todoroki wandering in, oblivious to what he’s just interrupted.
Also, Fuyumi gave him The Talk.
Unpopular opinion:
Hmm…not sure how unpopular this is, but while Todoroki understands that Endeavor abused Rei, but I don’t think he understands that Endeavor abused him too. Clearly Todoroki understands that it was bad, but now he’s one of the best students in one of the best high schools in the country instead of on a psych ward (Rei) or in the ground (Touya), so he doesn’t realize just how bad it was. Sort of a, “I was strong enough to take it, so it wasn’t really bad, not like how he was to my mom.”
Also, I love tododeku and I love dadzawa, but I’m frustrated by the number of fanfics that portray Todoroki as meek and crushed under Endeavor’s boot, in need of rescue.
Okay, one last one, because I’m not sure how unpopular any of these actually are. I think Todoroki is actually pretty anxious to fit in with his peers? Like he seems pretty aloof and doing his own thing, but I think it’s more due to uncertainty over what to do than because he’s that naturally withdrawn.
Song I associate with him:
Unbreakable by Miracle, Ember by Katherine McNamara, and Brave by Riley Pearce come to mind.
Favorite picture of him:
OKAY HERE ARE A FEW
Tumblr media
VS Midoriya – Todoorki’s whole awakening, self-actualization sequence is beautifully, beautifully animated. I love the flashes to black and white and the graceful, profound arc of Todoroki raising his left hand.
Tumblr media
Ch43 – His haunted expression when he extinguishes his fire, forfeiting to Bakugo.
Tumblr media
Ch63 – He looks so sweetly earnest when he realizes he screwed up by disregarding Yaoyorozu’s opinion, and he immediately takes action to fix it.
Tumblr media
Ch112 – His badass expression when he and Inasa wordlessly team up.
Tumblr media
Ch164 – His sour, cross expression when Endeavor embarrasses him.
I had to make some painful choices on which scenes to leave out, but I think five is enough.
I’ve also done these questions for Bakugo, Uraraka, Endeavor, Amajiki, Sir Nighteye, and Shinsou!

Congrats for now knowing what a beard is. XD - I love your platonic marriage story idea! Imagine also a while after they start dating Izuku is gushing about his new boyfriend and lets slip he has a wife. Iida is scandalized and berates Izuku for facilitating a man cheating on his wife! He calms down after Izuku explains the situation, and after confirming things with Momo just to be sure.
THIS WOULD MAKE THE MOST HILARIOUS AND COMEDIC STORIES OF ALL TIME 
The one who follows the whole (incredibly comedic too) flirting part is Ochako. she would get calls at three in the morning of a distressed Deku who is like “IM A HOMEWRECKER. ITS THEIR HONEY MOON AND I FLIRTING WITH HIM WHATS WRONG WITH ME” 
Ochako is ready to fight a man for his dear Deku. 
She heard from Jiro ( work in the same shop, Ochako is an aspiring singer who happens to be crushing on the girl across the store of the mall who runs a beauty salon, Mina.) her situation with Momo, and would have never guessed it was THE Shouto she had heard Izuku talk about. 
So when Deku drags her to his performance (to make him act normal and not flirt with the obvious husband of someone), and Ochako meets him, she’s the devil incarnate that tries to push them together. 
Ochako: DEKU he’s hot, you should totally tell him. 
Deku: HE HAS A WIFE
Ochako: and he also has abs, mister homewrecker. 
Deku: dont call me that plEASE
///
Izuku: “This is my boyfriend Todoroki, and this is his wife Momo, and that’s Momo’s girlfriend Jiro.” 
A stranger: “Wait, what?”
Izuku: “Todoroki is gay for me, but owes a favor to Momo. And Momo is gay for Jiro and they come over on Saturdays for pizza night. It’s not that complicated.”
///// 
Bakugou is probably the one who freak out the most. Not because he’s against or anything but BECAUSE SHE MISUNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING. 
So, Deku told him about Shouto when they had barely met, and he kind of forgot to mention the fact his crush had a wife. When they start dating he also forgets to fill Bakugou in with the details, thinking “Well it’s not something Kaachan needs to know.” 
OH BOY. Bakugou actually finds out by accident that this Shouto guy has A WIFE.And thinks Izuku doesnt know. He thinks Shouto is cheating on Izuku, and Deku is just too naive to realize it and world war iii ensues. He fucking tells Todoorki to fight him right there and then. He yells in the middle of the street that he’s cheating on Momo and Todoroki is super confused ???. Momo hears and is like okay, whats new. 
And Bakugou gets even more pissed because he thinks Todoroki is a constant cheater out of the fact that Momo barely reacts. 
The restaurant is left on fire, and everyoen is freaking out. Eventually they stumble across Deku, and Bakugou is like “DEKU YOU HAVE SHIT TASTE YOUR FUCKING BOYFRIEND IS MARRIED TO A CHICK” 
Izuku stares and then starts laughing. Bakugou is shcoked and confused. Deku explains the situation and Bakugou mildly calms down. 
(He ends up making Todoroki promise that some day he’ll divorce Momo and marry Izuku) 
(Todoroki points at Jiro an answer that Momo might ask for the divorce first)

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.
