Todoroki's eyes widened at the word 'kiss'.
"Why do you think-"
Todoroki leaned in and kissed [Y/n]'s lips. Unable to resisted anymore. [Y/n]'s eyes widened, and Todoroki placed his warm and cold hands on [Y/n]'s face, wiping her stray tears.
He then pulled away, blushing a bit. "I don't see why he was upset." He muttered, averting his eyes from [Y/n]'s still surprised gaze. Todoroki patted [Y/n]'s head again and got up.

That night, Izuku and [Y/n] were discharged, and they met with Yaoyorozu in the lobby. "Let's go." She said, and they nodded.
The three teenagers walked through the doors and saw Todoroki and Kirishima waiting for them. "Yaoyorozu...what's your answer?" Kirishima asked.
"I--"
"Wait!" They turned to see Iida walking up to them. "Iida...?"
"Iida-kun..."
"Why...Why did it have to be you guys of all people?! The ones who stopped me when I acted recklessly for personal reasons...You three, who received with me...Why are you trying to make the same mistakes that I did? It's too much!" Iida yelled.
"What are you talking about?" Kirishima asked, and Todoroki stopped him.
"We are still minors. U.A. is in a bad enough position as it is who will take responsibility for your actions? Do you understand?!" Iida said.
"Iida-kun, it's not like that. We don't think it's okay to break the rules either--" Izuku said as he walked closer to Iida.
Suddenly, Iida punched Izuku in the face. [Y/n]'s eyes widened a bit.
"I'm frustrated, too! And worried! It's only natural! I am the class representative! I'm worried about my classmates! Not just Bakugo!" Iida yelled, "When I saw your injuries, I also saw my brother in his sickbed. What if your bodies end up irreparable, like my brother's, because of your recklessness? Are you saying that you don't care about my worries? Are you saying you don't care about how I feel...?" He shook Izuku.
"Iida-kun..." Izuku began.
"Iida. We don't expect to face them head-on and win either. We'll extricate him without fighting." Todoroki chimed in.
"In other words, covert action. That's the way the students can fight while toeing the lines of the rules." Kirishima said.
"I trust Todoroki. But so that I can stop them if anything happens, I plan to accompany them, as well." Yaoyorozu said.
"Yaoyorozu!"
"I don't know myself, either, but after hearing that I could still reach, I couldn't just sit still. I can't stop thinking that I want to save him." Izuku said.
"...It was mostly my fault that Kacchan got taken away...I left him alone, and it's the only thing that's been on my mind. Please, just let me help him." [Y/n] pleaded, and Iida sighed.
"We can't come to an agreement, huh? Then, take me with you, too!" Iida suggested. They nodded and began to walk.
"Midoriya-kun." Iida said, "I apologize for getting violent with you. I'm sorry." Iida said.
"Seriously, Iida. Your reason for joining the group is not very persuasive." Yaoyorozu said.
"It's fine! I'm okay!" Izuku said.
"I am accompanying you because I am not convinced you will behave yourselves. If I get even a whiff of combat, then I will make you return immediately. In other words, you will be under my surveillance. That's right, I will be a 'watchman'!" Iida said.
"Watchman Iida..." Todoroki and [Y/n] muttered.
"The same goes for me. Rescuing Bakugo is a job for the pros. Looking at it objectively, there's no need for you all to do anything. However, it is a compromise plan because I know very well how you feel. Do not forget that." Yaoyorozu said and the teens nodded.
[Y/n] sighed as they began walked. 'I know this plan isn't going to work, but there's nothing else I can think of.' She thought.

"The coordinates of the receiver indicate Camino Ward, Yokohama City in Kanagawa Prefecture. Since we're leaving from Nagano, it will take about two hours. We should arrive around ten o'clock." Yaoyorozu informed while sitting on the train.
"Um, did you tell everyone that we would be leaving tonight?" Izuku asked.
"Yeah. They tried even harder to stop us when we told them, though." Todoroki said.
"After that, Uraraka said something pretty harsh, too. 'I think Bakugo will feel humiliated that he had to be saved by everyone...' she said." Kirishima said.
"Don't come, Deku...Mugen..." The memory of Katsuki being taken flashed into [Y/n]'s mind.
[Y/n] clutched her fists. "Just to make sure, you know what we're doing is selfish and that no one was us to do it, right? You can still turn back if you want to." Todoroki said, looking between each person in the group.
"If I was hesitating, then I wouldn't've said I'd do it in the first place! He's not someone who'd let the villains do whatever they with him." Kirishima said.
"What about you, Midoriya?" Todoroki asked.
"I...I cannot turn back." Izuku said.
"Alright...[Y/n]?" Todoroki questioned, and everyone looked at the short-haired female. "My mind is set." [Y/n] said and went back to looking out the window.
After two hours, the friends made it to Camino. "So this is Camino Ward?" Izuku questioned.
"There are a lot of people." Todoroki said.
"So those guys are hiding somewhere in this city?" Iida asked.
"Okay, so where are they, Yaoyorozu?!" Kirishima yelled while running in a random direction.
"Wait a minute!" Yaoyorozu shouted at him.
"From here on out, we have to be very, very careful. The villains know what we look like, remember? We must consider that we may be attacked at any moment." Yaoyorozu said.
"Got it! Got to be covert." Izuku said and did a weird pose.
"That makes you stand out more, Izuku. You looked weird." [Y/n] said with a deadpanned look.
"But at this rate, we won't be able to scout very easily." Iida said. "Then what are we supposed to do?" Kirishima asked.
"I have a suggestion." Yaoyorozu said while blushing and pointing at a costume store. She looked really excited. Once they got in, each person picked out an outfit to wear.
[Y/n] looked aimlessly through the racks. "I picked one out for you, [Y/n]-chan." Izuku said and handed his friend a costume.
"Thank you." [Y/n] muttered.
[Y/n] waited until the rest of her friends got done changing. "Hey, you!" Izuku was supposed to be a thug.
"I see, Disguises, huh?" Todoroki said as he came out of the changing room. [Y/n] raised a brow and tilted her head. She had no idea what Todoroki was supposed to be, but he looked good in it.
