Iced Over
(This story takes place after the sports festival.)
Beep* *beep* *Beep*
Midoriya woke up groggy and sore from his latest challenge at U.A. He looked down at his arm that was now in a sling from the force of One For All. He got up with a wince and placed his feet at the edge of his bed. Standing up made him wobble back and forth. He stepped back in a sudden jolt to catch himself from falling over. Midoriya still had quite a bit to learn about his new quirk. Midoriya walked over to his dresser. He pulled out his school uniform and his training uniform. As he went to leave the room something caught his eye on the ground. A picture frame was laying on the ground with broken glass surrounding it. He slowly approached the frame making sure to not get glass in his foot. The picture was of All Might but its a photo no other person had in the world. It was one of a kind just for Midoriya. In the picture you could see All Might but in his normal state. Well his weaker state. He was wearing a yellow and black pinstripe suit. He was doing his best pose and yet you could see the blood dripping from his mouth. The sight was enough to make Midoriya shudder. He put the picture back onto the bedside stand. And got ready for his day.
The gateway of U.A Academy sat in front of Midoriya as he walked up to the Academy. Midoriya still couldn't believe what happened to get him here. He played that night in his memory on repeat. Between his childhood hero All Might telling him that he could be a hero too and the giant sludge monster it was a day he could never forget.
"DEKU!!" He heard coming from the courtyard in front of him. It was his good friends Ochako and Iida waiting with some of the other 1-A class members. From behind him he could her the stomps of someone else coming into the school grounds. He knew who it was immediately. Bakugou had that usual scowl on his face that made it seem like he hated the world and everything about it.
Ever since Junior High Bakugou has always had that feeling. He had few friends and was stubborn about a lot of things. But it seemed that him and Kirishima have been getting along as of late. Midoriya wondered what that was about but it was a pleasant change from the old Bakugou.
"How is your arm feeling Deku." Ochako asked concerned for her friend. The group all looked at Deku as he grabbed for his arm in his sling. Ochako looked at the arm with some major concern.
"Don't worry about it." Midoriya assured her. "This happens anytime I use my Quirk."
"I just want to make sure you are ok." The words spoken by Ochako made Midoriya feel warm. Something from across the grounds caught the eye of Midoriya however.
It was Todoroki sitting by himself meditating. The two of them haven't spoken to each other since the battle during the U.A Battle. Midoriya finally got Todoroki to use his left against opponent. But did Todoroki appreciate it?
"Hey I will be right back ok." Midoriya said to the group of friends he was standing with. They all nodded and started speaking in there groups again.
Midoriya walked over to the area where Todoroki was sitting. What would Todoroki say? Would he be able to forgive Midoriya for making him use his left? Would he………..
"Thank you Deku." Todoroki spoke before Deku even noticed about how close he was. Todoroki was sitting Indian style on the ground in deep thought. The statement made Midoriya take a step back.
"Please call me Midoriya, Todoroki. I would like nothing more than for you to address me on a first name basis." Midoriya spoke a little flustered.
"Okay then. Thank you Midoriya. You have made me think about things for sure. Luckily with our internships coming I will be able to work on controlling my left more and more." Todoroki was still sitting but now he was looking up at Midoriya. His different color eyes stared deep into Midoriya. It almost made Midoriya feel safe. He smiled and stuck out his hand to pick the sitting teen up. Todoroki just smiled at the gesture.
"I'm going to sit down here for a little while more but thanks for the gesture." He said as Midoriya retracted his hand.
"So where are you planning on doing your internship at Todoroki." Midoriya said bouncing up and down a little bit. Meanwhile he started doing his mutter thing to himself. He was speaking something about where or who he was going on internship. The whole thing just made Todoroki laugh again. That snapped Midoriya out of it.
"Well I have narrowed it down to two places so I still have some decisions to make." Todoroki said looking at the ground again.
The two talked for a bit longer about the sports tournament until the first bell rang. Midoriya stuck out his good hand once again. This time Todoroki took it and stood up. He almost bumped into Midoriya standing up. Midoriya looked up to see Todoroki standing right there. There eyes locked onto one another and in that moment it was like they were having a whole conversation. Midoriya was the first to pull back but Todoroki didn't move. He stood as still as a rock.
"Let's get to class." Todoroki said motioning towards the building. Midoriya nodded with that glint in his eyes. Yet something about what just happened made Midoriya's head spin. Was it because he is impressed by Todoroki and his powers now. Or was it something else.
"Hey you coming" Todoroki said from the door leading into the building. "We still have to drop our bags off at our lockers. And I don't think Mr. Aizawa will be taking to kindly to us showing up late." He smiled and gestured into the building.
Midoriya walked into Class 1-A just in time for class. Meanwhile however it seems that Bakugou was about to get upset about something.
"I swear Iida if you tell me to take my feet off this desk one more time I will have to personally explode your leg jet things." So choose you next words carefully. He gave the kid a nasty scowl to go along with his threats.
"Bakugou it is improper to place you feet onto the desk." Iida said in a robotic tone of voice. His movements were precise as always.
"Go die" Bakugou said looking up at Iida who was now standing over him.
"Bakugou I am only going to ask once more. But if I need to I will……." Iida was interrupted by Bakugou making a lunge towards him and his calf.
"die Die DIe DIE." Bakugou screamed as he lunged for Iida. His hand started to spark and the whole class jumped back. His hand made contact with lida's jets and……….
"Mr. Bakugou please make you way back to your seat and place your feet firmly onto the ground." It was Mr. Aizawa the teacher of Class 1-A. He had his eyes firmly placed on Bakugou making sure his quirk was erased for the time being. You could see the scar below his eye from the attack at USJ.
Bakugou froze in his place just looking off into space. Mr. Aizawa was the only person that Bakugou would listen to. He slowly removed his hand from Iida's jets. His head seemed to hang in shame with the failure of his attack.
"Now we can start class. Students today we will be……..
Midoriya found himself walking home without a cast on for once. The lesson today didn't require much so he didn't use One for All. He was hoping to get his powers under control soon. Maybe just maybe he would.
"Hey Deku wait up." A voice said from behind him. It was Ochako again with Iida behind her. "Let's walk together."
"Okay sounds good. Oh by the way Iiida how are you doing. I know that Bakugou can be pretty scary." Midoriya chimed in as he waited for them to catch up.
"Eh I'm used to it by now. Bakugou is always trying to hurt people in that class. Well except for Kirishima. Wonder what that's about." Iida said looking more worried for Kirishima than anything.
"Oh I'm sure he will snap at some point. So ummm hey does anyone know where Todoroki goes after school. I've never really seen him walk in any direction." Midoriya said trying to be as smooth as possible.
Ochako looked at Midoriya kind of jealous but she did have to admit he had a point. No one has ever seen Todoroki go home in a certain direction. "Who knows. Wherever he lives he is definitely rich." Ochako said with a hint of jelousy.
The trio just shrugged it off for now. But the question was really digging at Midoriya.
(Flash over to Todoroki going home.)
Todoroki arrived at a small run down building near the outskirts of town. Ever since he decided that his left side was useless to him he was kicked out of his house. Todoroki decided to develop this old run down building into his own place.
On the bottom floor was a battlefield. Mixed with different wooden manikins and pillars it made for a good practice with his ice. He would bring in a family friend to make more manikins quick with his quirk after each night.
The second floor was made into his living floor of sorts. He had a kitchen that barely worked and a room with a leaky window. Anytime he wanted to cook anything he had to use his left. The walls had ivy creeping up them left and right. It was run down more than you would imagine.
The third floor Todoroki blocked off with some wood slabs. The entire third floor is filled with some of his father's memorabilia. From newspaper clippings to different stories he all kept them there on the most intact floor. But recently he has been collecting stories on someone else.
They were all the news articles featuring Midoriya. Between his encounter with the slime monster to his latest fight against Todoroki at the Sports Tournament.
The only thing he didn't understand is why he was so infatuated with Midoriya.
A/N
So I just started watching the anime My Hero Academia so I decided to make my own Fan Fiction. I love the ship of Todoroki and Deku so I am making this story. From this point on we will have different fights and battles.
Will Midoriya learn how to control One for All or will he continue to break every bone in his body.
Will Todoroki ever reveal where he lives.
Those will be answered soon. But until them stay icy my Pro Hero's.
