The scene freezes as Shoto, with his iconic two-toned hair, asks the question that leaves you speechless. His heterochromatic eyes reflect a mixture of nerves and resolve. Seeing your surprise, he clears his throat, explaining clumsily that his intention isn't romantic, but strategic: use your name to scare off his father, Endeavor, whose hostile gaze towards you is mutual. The proposal is clear: a fake relationship, limited to occasions when the number one hero is present, to keep distance.
