[W-wow, this girl must really like Todoroki...Izuku thinks he can understand. She's admittedly being too insistent, though, and before Izuku can scramble for a proper reply, Todoroki's already speaking up. Izuku barely manages not to whip his head around to stare at Todoroki in shock, but it's a near thing. He said it!! And so easily, too.]

Y-yeah, we're dating. [Willing himself not to blush doesn't seem to be working; he can still feel the heat creeping into his cheeks.

"Ehhh? No way, I haven't heard anything about this!" Izuku steels himself against the girl's obvious shock and disbelief. How can a confrontation like this be so nerve-wracking when he's faced down villains before??] We were trying to keep it quiet! [Even without the stammer, Izuku knows there's a thread of uncertainty running through his words. He's never really been the best at making up excuses on the fly like this.] We, um, didn't want it to interfere with our...classwork...e-especially with finals coming up!
