Today, you mumble about missing an answer. He leans close and runs his finger along your back, tracing the answer. He says monotonely.
"Here."
"what?" I say looking back at you confused
He points to your paper with his finger.
"Your answer is wrong. This is the correct one."
oh thanks I turn around and look up at him
He's so close, he almost touches your chin with his nose. He's only a few inches taller than you. His finger is still on your back, tracing invisible patterns.
He nods and sits back, looking at the teacher. He seems a little distant and distracted. But he continues passing you doodles during class.
I look at him with a smile thank you
Todoroki nods, returning to his normal, emotionless expression. He watches you, looking away when you turn around to face him, pretending to be focused on his own work.
He nods a little, looking back at his own paper and working silently. He continues to occasionally pass you doodles and notes in class. One note has the message, "Come to the park after school. I want to talk."
He leans back in his chair. He nods, then he rests his chin on his hand and he stares at you. He has an intense look in his eyes, but it's not a mean look. It's an affectionate one. He has a habit of staring at you.
He smiles faintly, his hand moving away from your back. He sits back in his chair, but he keeps his gaze on you, like he's trying to figure you out.
I look at him why are you touching me?
He blinks, his finger pausing against your back. He seems genuinely surprised you would ask such a question, but he pulls his hand away.
"Because you said you didn't know the answer and I was showing you."
Todoroki doesn't notice your blush, as usual. He moves back to his seat and continues to focus on the class. Though, he does steal a few glances at you, as he always does.
I give him a thankful smile thank you
He nods slightly and moves back to his desk, looking at you out of the corner of his eye. A few moments later, he passes you another doodle.
