Hello readers! Thank you all for coming back to the newly uploaded Tomoroki.
As usual I would like to thank all those who followed and favourited my story previously, I hope to see you here again.
As you might imagine I don't own My hero academia or Madoka Magica
Mami hummed discontentedly as she looked out the window to see that the weather had only gotten worse, the White clouds that had dotted the sky earlier had morphed into monsterous grey ones that consumed the atmosphere, rain was coming down in sheets and it showed no signs of lightening up. The blonde pulled the curtains back across the window with a sigh and turned back to her boyfriend who, as he usually did when he came over to her apartment, was sitting quietly on the couch. As was custome on the weekends, Mami had invited her friends and classmates over to her home for tea and cake, this week the place had been fairly packed to Mami's delight, Sayaka, Kyoko and Madoka had all come over as well as Iida, Ururaka, Midoriya and Yoyaroza had come over with Todoroki.
As per usual Madoka and Deku had gotten along swimmingly while Ururaka had sat next to them with a cheery expression, Sayaka had been happy to chat with Yoyaroza who Sayaka claimed reminded her of Hitome, Kyoko had been happy to occupy herself with the cake and tea while occasionally throwing quips at Iida when he would repremand her table manners, and as fond as she knew Midoriya was of him, Mami couldn't help but be glad that Bakugou wasn't here, considering what happened the last time he and Kyoko were left in a room together. Everyone else had left when the skies started to darken but Todoroki had stayed behind so that they could spend some time just the two of them.
Although his back was to her she could see by the movement of his upper arms that he was fiddling with something in his hands, and as she moved closer she saw that he was holding Bebe. Heat bloomed on her cheeks, where did he get that?
The magenta coloured rag doll had been a gift from her parents when she was small, of all the things she'd had to sell along with the house or give away due to the space of her new living quarters she had clung to that doll ferociously, sometimes when it all got a bit much she would curl up on the couch and bury her face in the dusty fabric, but she wasn't exactly ready to have her friends know that which is why she hid it in the bedroom when they came over, so once again she asked how did he get that?!
Wait. That's right. She'd been brewing the tea in the kitchen when the doorbell rang, she hadn't cleaned the living room first so she stuffed behind a sofa cushion in a rush.
Todoroki must have felt her eyes on him because he turned his head around to look at her, they locked eyes but not before he saw that she was looking at the toy in his hands, adding that to the look on her face he mentally sumerised enough of the situation to guess the best course of action. Carefully he set Bebe on a pillow the other end of the couch, Mami smiled at his gracious silence and came around the to sit next to him. Todoroki had been sitting with his right side leaning on the armrest, he was about to shift over so that Mami could sit there, unconsciously trying to keep her from touching his left, Mami noticed this and quickly slid into place beside to him before he could move, initially Todoroki went stiff at closeness but Mami just pulled the blanket that had been draped across the couch back around the two of them.
"I know you prefer your right side in a battle, but it's just the two of us now," she smirked a little "and I'm hardly going to attack you."
Todoroki's unconscious reasoning quickly sprung to the front of his mind, but he was having trouble figuring out what to do next, he didn't want to shrug Mami off, but he also couldn't think of a way to explain his discomfort to her without going into his whole backstory with his parents, and that... wasn't something he wanted to get into right now.
"Besides," Mami continued as she leaned a little closer "I kind of like your left side, it has a pleasant heat."
Todoroki looked down at the blonde in shock but she had angled her face away so that he wouldn't see her biting her lip at the words she'd just let past them. Todoroki was surprised to say the least, of course Mami didn't have the memories or contempt that he associated with the power that resided in the left side of his body but his own feelings were deep rooted enough that even though she was complimenting him, it made him a little defensive. But after a moment of continued quiet he realised... it was a compliment about him, in Mami's mind his left side had no connection to his father, no attachment to anyone but him, it was just a part of him.
"... Thank you." He responded quietly, but Mami still smiled back at him, "I... appreciate it."
Like Todoroki had done before Mami looked at all the pieces in front of her and guessed enough of the situation to know that words weren't necessary, so she just rest her head on his shoulder, finally relaxing into the touch of his girlfriend Todoroki looped his left arm around her shoulders, and the two of them sat together listening to the sound of rain against the window.
