the commotion in the kitchen seemed to have been held at a standstill. It was unnerving, and half his mind was telling him to get up and check if they were alright.

5 minutes later, a dark-blue sneaker with paint splotches that glowed in the dim red lighting of the restaurant stuck out.

slowly pulling back the curtains covering the passage between the kitchen and the dining area, it revealed the person coming from the strangely now-silent kitchen.

low and behold, standing behind the blinds was the girl who previously served him at the counter. she was staggering underneath three trays, the two that she held in both her hands containing four ginormous bowls each.

the last one was balanced precariously on her [h/l] hair, holding three bowls to his puzzlement. he had only ordered 10 bowls, not 11.

he didn't really ponder much on it as he stared in wonder while the girl made her way over to him, surprisingly not dropping any of the food.

she had set the food down in front of him, keeping the 11th bowl on side, and then she proceeded to take a hair tie wrapped around her wrist to fix her hair. the only thing on his mind spilled out.

"is your quirk balancing things or something?"

she turned her full attention, letting him see the messy strands that escaped the low ponytail she was currently making. the girl smiled at him, the wideness of her smile only making it seem strained.

"nah, i'm quirkless."

sliding into the barstool beside him, she plucked a pair of disposable chopsticks from the container in front of them, breaking them apart.

even as she started to dig into her own set of noodles, he knew that she kept him in the corner of her vision.

they stayed like that for a bit, him blankly staring at her while she dug into her food.

she was the first to break the silence. "so, what's your story?"

he turned his head aware from her and took a pair of chopsticks as well, but his attention hardly left the girl.

"i don't have a reason to converse with you." she didn't even look at him when she fired back.

"you come into the shop i work at, make me carry 10 sets of our largest noodle bowl to you on my own, asked me about my quirk, and it's almost 3 am in the god damn morning. i think that's good enough reason for you to at least talk to me."

he paused, his chopsticks lay limply against the side of the bowl.

"isn't this an invasion of my privacy? i could sue for harassment." a silence befell them.

to the heterochromatic boy's surprised, she broke the silence with hysterical laughter so strong that she clutched the sides of her torso, tears forming at the corner of her eyes.

as her laughter died down, she chuckled at his befuddled face.

"let's get things clear, the only reason why i want to know who you are is because it's 3 in the morning and you're pretty."

shrugging her shoulders, she resumed consuming her own noodles, which were starting to lose their warmth.

"i'm pretty sure you could sue my pretty ass with the snap of your fingers, but would you really? plus, it's not like you told me to go away and leave you alone.

"all you have to do to make me stop asking and leave is just to flat-out tell me."

this made him stop at her words. she'll go away...as long as i say stop? no complaining? no fighting back or whining?

maybe she isn't so bad.

he decided that he didn't want to thnk to much on it and just focused on his meal.

the only sounds that came from the pair was the slurping of noodles and the clinks of their utensils against the bowls.

todoroki was already about to finish his third bowl of noodles when the [h/c] girl spoke up, catching his attention.

"since you didn't really say stop even after i gave you the option, i can assume that you don't mind me sitting here." she quipped, twisting her body to face him.

"so how about we strike a deal?"

i don't know how i'm
bringing out these updates
like it's nothing because
boy, this is hard to write.
lmao, i can just imagine
leaving you guys with
this for like, 3 weeks.

jk i won't try to do that, i'll
probably leave you guys for
about a week, 2 at most,
then have a comeback.

so uhm, apparently more
people wanted me to go on
hiatus when i ran out of pre-written
chapters instead of just having
one or two updates a week,
so i think i'll be doing that.

i might try and get to about
10 chapters before that first
just so that you guys aren't
left hanging too much
and before this flops.

also, mah dudes, you all are
so lovely and i love y'all.
you guys are like, so nice,
and i love talking with y'all.
your supports is so
heart-warming.

srsly though, i need more memes.
send me memes. and vines.
and tiktoks. whatever you want.
