Midoriya P.O.V

I was casually strolling down the corridor of the fifth floor in our new dorm room to go and visit Tsu-chan as she had asked for my help in some of the homework. I was about to knock on her door but my ears picked up the sound of a small whimper.

I opened my ears wider to see if I was just imagining it. When I was met with silence I shrugged it off as my senses over reacting and went to knock on the door to Tsu-chan's room again but I heard the noise again.

It was a bit louder this time so I knew I wasn't lying to myself. Someone was crying.

The hero that was inside of me knew I had to check it out and see if they were ok. It didn't sound like it was coming from Tsu-chan's room and I knew that Satou, Sero and Yaoyorozu were downstairs in the common room so that only left one option. Todoroki.

Suddenly worried for my friend I moved over to his door and tentatively knocked on the wood. "Todoroki-kun? Are you alright?" I asked softly.

Todoroki P.O.V

"Todoroki-kun? Are you alright?"

My head flew upwards at the unmistakable sound of Midoriya's voice. I quickly wiped away the tears that fell from my face and tried to speak, tried to tell him that I was fine (even though I knew I wasn't) but all that came out was a coarse whisper barely audible.

"Todoroki-kun? Can I come in?" he asked again.

I quickly tried to find the will to use my voice in amongst the hurricane of my thoughts that swirled dangerously through my head but I couldn't.

Midoriya who was obviously worried by my lack of response creaked opened the door and entered my Japanese-style room.

"Todoroki?" he asked once more as he took in my appearance a look of shock plastered across his face.

He had a reason to be shocked, I probably looked like a total mess. My usually somewhat neat hair was completely dishevelled and hung limply around my face which was stained with tears. My eyes were red and sore from all the crying. Trickles of blood oozed out of the shallow but plentiful cuts that were scattered across my wrists. The knife I used was discarded on the floor beside my frail body.

"Shoto..." he breathed using my first name this time. "Why? Why would you hurt yourself?"

My eyes fluttered down towards the many gashes that adorned my arms. When I carved them, I knew this was what I wanted but know as I looked at Midoriya's sympathetic and concerned face I scolded myself.

The storm inside my head was finally clearing due to his comforting presence but clouded back over when the spiteful voice of my father wrung in my ears. I clutched my head wanting nothing more than the voice to stop. I just wanted to be free.

Cries of pain escaped my lips as I tried to fight the losing side of the war.

"Make it stop, MAKE it stop, MAKE it STOP, MAKE IT STOP!" I screamed as my fists collided with my head. Even more tears pooled out of my eyes in pure anguish.

"Shoto, talk to me!" Midoriya pleaded.

I shuddered and forced myself to look him in the eyes. His usually bright and hopeful green orbs had droplets of salt water brimming in them. My heart clenched as I tried to speak.

It was clear that Midoriya had finally had enough. He stomped over to me and collected my broken body in his arms holding me tight. I cried onto his shoulder and as my breaths evened out I decided to spill out my heart.

"I'm worthless. My existence is pointless. I'm just a useless failed experiment." I cried.

"Your father?" he asked. I simply nodded unable to speak anymore.

"Well let me tell you something Shoto Todoroki. You are the most amazing person I have ever met. You've overcome so much in your life which is not even close to being called pointless. You complete our class, you complete me, you complete the world. Your parents might have been only created you so you can fulfil your fathers wishes but that doesn't mean it's your purpose. That's what he wants and who gives a damn about what your father wants for your life. Its your life and he can't dictate that. You've made yourself a name already and not because the world sees you as Endeavour's son but as your own man. You came second in the U.A Sports Festival without your fathers help. And before you say that you used your fathers power remember what I said when we fought, its your power and not his. You fought Stain with Iida and I and won. That's all because you are an amazing person and will one day become an amazing hero. I love you Shoto Todoroki. I love you."

After hearing Midoriya's small speech I was at a loss for words. Someone loves me. I didn't really know how to reply so I just stuck with the safe option.

"I love you too Izuku."
