Todoroki Shoto as a partner HCs
Pairing; Todoroki Shoto x gn!reader
Tags; fluff, sfw, hurt/comfort if you squint
Content warning: I headcanon todoroki as autistic/neurodivergent, so there might be some references here and there + mineta being weird but that only lasts like one line
No use of y/n
Contains: Early stages, Affections, Who would know, PDA, His thoughts of the future
Requests open!
Tumblr media
Early stages:
As a partner, during the early stages he'd be very nervous to make the first moves, because he isnt sure yet what you'd like or if you're comfortable with some things.
Would love it if you made the first move though
Like holding hands underneath the cafeteria tables, patting his hair as a 'good job!' after training or just slinging your arm around him
He loves it when you do any physical affection
Poor boy's touch starved, he'll take whatever he can get
Would love parallel play, something about just the two of you, sitting in peace and doing your own things
Its nice and quiet, he isn't overwhelmed and there isn't any preassure to do anything, just the both of you in each other's company
Gives you lots of small gifts, like keychains or fancy bookmarks, anything that suits your taste
One time he even got you a small little plushie and placed it on your desk with no explanation whatsoever
Cuddling comes awkward to him at first, but he comes around after a while
By a while I mean MONTHS
He's just not used to it, hugging is already awkward for him, so its hard for him to just lay in your arms for a long period of time
What does he do? Is there a correct way to cuddle? Should he be doing something? Where does he lay his head?
Would definitely search up 'cuddle poses' online
But he just gets even more confused and goes down a deep rabbit hole about cuddling
Affections/comfort:
When he does come around, that's the way he recharges at the end of the day
After a long day of work and socialising he just wants some peace, quiet and some cuddles from his partner
Would just walk in wherever you were, lie down on top of your torso and just stay there, eyes closed and breathing slowed as he calms down
Would rather be the one being held , adores it when you rub circles into his back to soothe him
Would just randomly lay his head on your shoulder whenever he's tired but can't properly sit down and rest during training
And then at this point, he's more comfortable with initiating stuff
He doesn't know what to do if you're ever in a situation that requires comfort
The boy's a bit dense, okay? He saw Momo crying and asked if she was feeling nauseous, then immediately told her there's a preassure point somewhere to relieve it
Offers you his favourite food or any sort of advice because those things are what usually helps him feel better
Would ask you whats wrong, and try his best to fix the problem instead of reassuring you since he's not really good with comforting people
"Whats wrong?" He asks upon entering the room and seeing you sitting down somewhere, eyes puffy and a frustrated look on your face.
"I'm just really overwhelmed, Shoto, all this work is putting stress on me.." You say, wiping your eyes even though the tears stopped a long time ago.
There was a moment of silence, Shoto stands in front of you, hands awkwardly raised up to his sides unsure of what to do.
"Are you hungry?" He asked, and you just look at him confused.
"I have leftover soba.."
You smile at him, standing up and making your way to the kitchen. He sits next to you and you both just share the plate in silence before he speaks again.
"If you're stressed next time, you can just tell me. I'll help you."
"I have notes for our classes to help you simplify everything. It is essential that a person rests appropriately and avoid overworking themselves." He says, and you can't help but smile, chuckling a little at how punctual he is.
Who would know?:
Isn't one to loudly declare he's in a relationship, in fact people didn't know until it slipped one day.
"Shoto, do you want to go out today?" You ask him whilst passing by the common room of the dorms, he was talking- well, engaging in a one sided conversation with some of your classmates.
"Woah, first name basis huh? You two must be close then Todoroki-kun"
"Well yeah, they're my partner."
"YOUR WHAT?!"
Everyone would bombared you guys with questions after that
Shoto just answers it shortly, keeping it simple
"When did you guys start dating?"
"Three months ago."
"A few months ago?! And you didn't tell us?? Man, i thought we were friends, Todoroki.."
"I hope this doesn't cause you both to slack off during exercises, your education is still important!"
"Wow Todoroki, have you guys done it yet?? Must be nice having a partner~"
Mineta immediately got kicked by you after that
Shoto's indifferent to making your relationship public, if you wanted to or don't want to, he's fine with anything
Would prefer the relationship to only be known to people he actually knew instead of like announcing it to everyone
Example: his class, friends, your family.
Although sometimes he might let it slip because he thinks about you alot in between classes
It would take time for him to talk about his relationship to his family, especially Endevour
Fuyumi would be you guys' #1 supporter and the first one to find out
Natsuo's a little more distant to shoto than Fuyumi is, so he'd be third to find out, right after his mother
Endevour would only be told after like 6 months of dating
Who knows, maybe Shoto would be spiteful enough to not even tell him for years
Public Display of Affection:
Shoto will hold your hands under tables or stay close to you by your side and hold hands if no one's paying attention.
Doesn't like PDA as much, at most he'll hold your hands and lay his head on your shoulder when you're out in public
He just doesn't like showing that very new and vulnerable side of him being affectionate to the world
Plus, it brings his guard down because he's fully relaxed if he's affectionate with you
Thoughts of the future:
Todoroki's the type of person to just slow down and be in the moment with you but then blurt about a highly detailed future with you out of nowhere
You would go shopping and you'd spot him eyeing a plant in a store
When you ask what he's thinking about, he with a straight face say:
"You said you like these. If we get one when we move in together, do you think the two cats we'll have will be disturbing these or would it be fine considering ragdoll cats are mostly known for their relaxed nature? "
"Shoto we haven't even graduated yet!"
If you're a hero too, he trusts you fully to take care of yourself during missions or any villain attacks
Would interfere if he has to, if anything were to happen to you during missions he'd be heartbroken
Going down a spiral of the things he could've done to protect you, to make sure you were safe
He also wouldn't hold back during any training just because your his partner, he believes you both need to grow strong together to become heroes
If you weren't a hero, he'd try his best to protect you if you were ever caught up in his hero nonsense
Totally supports any career you wanted to take up, claiming that he'll be the one to take care of everything financially
I mean, better use Endevour's card for SOMETHING
Wants at least one cat in the house, ragdolls specifically
Kids are not something he has in mind, especially considering he'd like to focus on you and his career
He also doesn't want to end up like his dad
Would consider children if you both are stable in your lives and careers
And if you don't want kids, he's fine with that too
The house would be remodeled into those old Japanese ones like his dorm room, if you didn't like it he'd have at least his work office that way

Oh yeah,the autistic boy with problems related to his heritage who put up a 'jerk who's too cool to care' front at first but then made friends who helped him become the kindhearted dork he is now and the biracial trans girl who's a nerdy badass that he's best friends with.Love that ship!

A little rant over the why I consider that Todoroki Shouto is autistic
Disclaimer: As always, this is just one of my many theories. Please don’t attack me for this, if you don’t like it, scroll and continue with your life. 
This is the third mha character that I have analysed, and I also think he is the least likely to be autistic (strangely enough because he is also the one more often read as autistic). This is because a lot of his actions can also be read  as trauma responses rather than autistic traits, however, this is your friendly reminder that autistic people can (and are actually statistically more likely) to have PTSD. For Shouto, I think it is both autism and C-PTSD.
This post HAS manga spoilers!
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insistence on sameness, and difficulty dealing with change
Even though this is not explicitly said anywhere (as far as I know), it’s something that you can definitely notice if you look very closely.
Todoroki remodelled his entire dorm in a day for it to be the same as it was in his home for comfort. He even went to the extent of changing the floors. That shows that he has difficulty dealing with transitions (moving from home, to the dorms).
He is also a very stubborn person, shown in his insistence to only use his ice side for so long. And even though we know this is connected to his trauma towards fire, even after he starts overcoming that, he still heavily relies on his ice, and has a tendency (almost a routine) to always using it first. 
Tumblr media
Strong sense of justice
Todoroki has an incredible sense of justice, and not in the ´follow every rule’ way like Iida. Todoroki has never hesitated to break the rules to stand up for what he thinks is right. He literally considered torture in USJ arc, if it meant gaining information that could potentially safe lives. In the Kamino Ward arc, he decided to break the rules and go and save Bakugou because he knew that’s what was right (even if it was illegal). He followed Bakugou and Izuku even though it was dangerous and he technically shouldn’t have, but he still went and fought alongside them. In the ‘World Heroes’ Mission’ movie he didn’t hesitate to help Izuku and tell him how to escape even though he was literally accused of mass murder. I think there are many examples of this in general.
It also shows that he is a very loyal person, which isn’t an autistic trait (I think), just a very cool thing about him.
Tumblr media
Recognizes patterns easier than his peers
I have two specific examples for this. 
Calling himself a hand crusher. He definitely recognized a pattern there. He fought with Midoriya -> He injured his hand. He fought with Iida -> Iida injured his hand. Therefore Hand injuries are caused by him (under this logic).
He was quick to figure out why the villains were at the USJ, and that they definitely had a solid plan. (In a similar way, Tsuyu did the same, who I also headcanon as autistic, but that’s off topic).
Speaking differences/struggles
Todoroki has what can be described as a ‘flat tone’. There are only some very specific scenes where he raises his voice, but in general, his voice tone never really changes. Even when delivering jokes, or sarcastic comments, his tone is always the same. 
Tumblr media
Struggles with social cues and reading other people tones
I believe this is one of his most recognized traits. He has a lot of difficulty understanding sarcasm and exaggeration when it comes from others, even being told by others that he is ‘too clueless’ (Mount Lady, and Min*ta). He takes things very literally, a good example of this being when Mt Lady told him that girls would die for his smile, and he took it very seriously, to the point where not even under Mr. Smileys quirk he didn't actually smile. 
He also struggles ‘reading the room’ and social cues, having in mind the way that he is convinced that he is friends with Bakugou. (He is. Bakugou is just in denial/hj. They definitely care for each other, and they ARE friends. But Todoroki considered him a friend way before Bakugou even considered it).
Tumblr media
Says things directly
Todoroki says things with 0 to no hesitation. He is not afraid at all to call people out. He says things like they are, he doesn't sugar code anything. There are many examples of this, like him fighting with the chief of the police, every possible interaction he has had with Endeavor, him saying that he didn’t even notice Hagakure was with him in the USJ, him telling Midoriya that he is objectively better than him and others. Trauma dumping on Midoriya during the sports festival. This might come out as rude sometimes, but he definitely (mostly) doesn't do it with bad intentions. 
‘Flat’ facial expressions
Same as his voice, his facial expressions don’t really change, and it could be argued that they don't match his emotions. For example when he froze Sero during their fight in the sports festival, and even though he didn’t really looked angry, he apologises and tells him that he was angry. 
Tumblr media
Comfort food and being a ‘picky’ eater (term that I don’t personally like, but I’m using to make a point)
Shouto really likes Soba. Especially cold soba. He is seen eating it in the anime, and it is stated in the character profile of the manga’s second volume. He even offers it to Midoriya when he is sad (that was really cute by the way, I do that too. You’re sad? Let me get some chocolate for you!)
It being cold can be because of two things. 
Sensory issues about food temperature.
Him not liking boiling water because of what happened with his mother.
Either way, it is canon that he loves cold soba.
Genetic factor
I am not here to do an Endeavor analysis, but ASD is considered to have a genetic factor and Endeavor has some autistic traits as well, including fixated interests, saying things directly, difficulty with volume control, and others.
This is also your friendly reminder that autistic people are NOT saints and can commit crimes, mistakes, abuse etc. 
Moving on because I don’t enjoy talking about Endeavor /hj
Low empathy and difficulty reading other people emotions
Just like Bakugou, he struggles identifying and expressing his own emotions, and has difficulty relating to other people's feelings. I think a perfect example of that is his interaction with Iida during the Hero Killer arc. He also stuggled with this a lot after Dabi revealed he was his brother, and he definetly had problems grieving him.
He also doesn't really know how to show empathy, I think that’s why he offered soba to Deku. He didn’t know what else he could do to help and show that he cared. And he is usually looking for solutions rather than offering support. 
Tumblr media
(not related picture, I just thought his face was really funny here).
Stimming
Admittedly, I couldn’t find many examples of stimming in him. But I noticed that he has a tendency to rub his finger when he is thinking.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Special interest
Becoming a hero, and in a way, All Might. I don’t have much proof of this rather than a vibe, but he doesn’t have any other interests or hobbies apart from this (apart from reading manga), which leads me to believe it’s his special interest. 
Other details that I want to mention (aka, the headcanon zone)
He is often seen wearing sweaters, which I believe can be a consequence of sensory issues, and he has a very high pain tolerance. He is very observant as well.
I don’t have proof of this, but I headcanon that he is like me, and doesn’t notice that there is something wrong with him unless it’s extreme. I rarely notice that I need to go to the bathroom until I’m about to pee myself. I live constantly dehydrated because I forget to drink water and I don't really get thirsty. And I don’t notice I’m in  pain unless it’s pretty extreme. 
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s it, thank you for reading! I love Todoroki. When I started the series he very quickly became one of my favourite characters. 
Next up in my list, Shigaraki!

I'm rewatching MHA and anyone who tries to tell me Todoroki isn't autistic is a FOOL
My man saw Izuku crying at lunch (ep 70) and said "you want half of my soba?" That is the most autistic way of comforting people. Every autistic person I know either says would you like x food or offers some sort of hot drink. If it's online it's whatever is the equivalent for your friendship, for me it's always cute animal pictures. He's so sweet and so autistic and I love him

OK I got a question for anyone who knows MHA/BNHA does Shoto Todoroki have autistic vibes to yall too or is it just me?
Let me explain a little bit I got a small list of things that can tend to be autistic traits that shoto has from the top of my head-
Safe food- cold soba
Hard time understanding social cues
Tends to not be very expressive when it comes to voice or facial expression
Not the best with teamwork
There is a shit tone more but that is what I can think of at the top of my head

Ok so I just made a drawing of blasian transfem todoroki and I wanna talk about that because now I have a whole au for it.
(Btw I'm Brazilian and I'm gonna make this about me )
Ok so au in which Endeavor can't find a woman with ice powers in Japan so he travels all over the world looking for one. As you may or may not know 55% of Brazils population is black so yeah he finds someone with ice powers here and she agrees to marry him and move to Japan. There they have four kids until she gets super tired of his bullshit and with help from her parents moves back to Brazil. Then canonish stuff happens, Fuyumi and Natsuo have shitty powers, Toya runs away and that leaves Endeavor to train "Shoto". Throughout the years the mental and physical abuse gets worse and worse, until middle school when Todoroki finds out the meaning of the word 'transgender' by making searches about feeling like a girl in the school computer. She decides on the name Saori and because she has 0 clue of social cues she tells Endeavor right away. Then he gets super mad and basically calls her a bunch of stuff and throws boiling water at her (in this au, that's how she gets the scar). Fuyumi finds out about this and manages to put up a legal fight against her father along with Natsuo. With enough proof that Enji was a piece of shit (after all, who would attack the number two heroes daughter ? Who would risk that but the number two hero himself ? ) they take away legal guardian of Saori from him and he also pays some fines thought he's not arrested cause he's a cishet man and the world is unfair. Unfortunately, Fuyumi is in no mental state to take care of her sister and Natsuo is a college student. So Saori Todoroki goes to live with her mom in Brazil, a woman she had little to no contact with throughout her life.
She promptly informs her mom she still wants to be a hero, that was a dream of hers and had nothing to do with her dad. So her mom puts her in a Brazilian hero school called Construindo o Futuro (building the future ). There, she meets Japanese descendent Izumi Midoryia. Izumis grandpa came from Japan during world War two (that actually happened, Brazil got a lot of Asian immigrants during the world wars .) Midoryias family has lots of consideration for their Japanese roots so she speaks a bit of Japanese, which helps a lot with Todorokis adaptation to the school seemed shes still struggling with her Portuguese.
So Izumi and Saori become besties and we get a Brazilian class 1A of heroes.
For this au I'm also thinking t4t Kiribaku, black Mina Ashido, petista Ochaco Uraraka and autistic tododeku!
If you read all of that, THANK U SO MUCH I'm literally so excited about this idea kskdjdhdbdbebdbdjdj
