Summary
I've seen various ways of how Shoto is spelt: many people use Shouto or Shotou, but Shoto is how its spelt in the manga by Kohei Horikoshi, so I'm using that way. .
Izukus POV
"Thank you so, so much for having me over" smiled Izuku.
"Really, its no problem. Here's your clothes" Todoroki handed him a plastic bag.
"Thank you, I totally forgot. Should I give these back?"
"They don't fit me, you can keep them or chuck them or whatever. And stop thanking me, it's okay"
"Can we meet up or something?"
"Well, this recent investigation is going to be hectic, but I have an hour break at 1pm every day"
"Yay! I have a break at 1pm as well. Except its an hour and a half"
"A break from where? Do you go to college?"
"Yeah, just the local one"
"Cool, so today at 1pm?"
"Ice cream parlour?"
"Thought you'd never ask"
When Izuku had returned home at 8am- only about half hour to get ready- his mum screamed and hugged him.
"Izukuuuuu!"
"Mum I'm okay"
"I was so worried. I'm sorry, I didn't realise you'd be so hurt from what I said-"
"It's okay, I overreacted. I need to get ready for college"
"Oh, yeah" she let him go and looked him up and down "Who's clothes are they?"
Izuku turned scarlet, "Its really not what it looks like"
"You have a boyfriend!" she squealed.
"Oh, god, no. Mum!"
"Who is it?" she continued screaming gleefully.
"He's not my boyfriend. Just a friend"
"But who?"
"Shoto Todoroki" mumbled Izuku.
Inko screamed louder, nearly bursting his eardrums.
"Anyway, I'm gotta go"
"Tell me more" she begged.
"We're friends! I met him not long ago and we're going to meet up today at lunch break. I've got to change"
After wriggling out of his mums shipping wrath, Izuku jogged to college and settled down in his first class as soon at 8.30 struck. He sighed, four and a half hours until he can see Todoroki again.
At 13.00PM
"Ah, man this ice cream will always be amazing" sighed Todoroki blissfully, "I needed this"
"Tough morning?" laughed Izuku.
"Its been awful. My brain aches"
Izuku looked down at his own red and white sundae and smiled softly as a warm feeling settled in his chest.
"How's college?" asked Todoroki.
"Meh. It's boring and I just sleep"
He tutted in reply "Shouldn't sleep in school"
"I don't really care"
"You will in the future!"
"Ha. You sound like a teacher" giggled Izuku.
Todoroki snorted "Sorry, I get a bit bossy every now and then"
"It's okay"
There were a lot of people in the ice cream shop, and often Todoroki got several glances over his way. A pretty woman approached him, holding a notebook and a pen.
"Hi, can I have an autograph?"
Todoroki smiled heavenly "Of course. May I ask for your name?"
She blushed scarlet, "I-Its Ochako Uraraka. You're amazing, by the way"
"Why, thank you" he flourished the pen and handed it to Uraraka.
Izuku caught a look at the notepad and it said: To Uraraka, believe in your dreams and do your best. Lots of love, Shoto Todoroki x.
She blushed even more at the note, "Thank you!"
"No problem"
Walking away, Izuku watched her in the corner of his eye, jumping around and squealing with her friends. Jealously started to scratch at him and the words Lots of love were imprinted onto his eyelids when he squeezed them shut.
"Midoriya, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Do you get that a lot? Pretty women thinking you're hot"
No reaction, he didn't even blush. "I don't know, I don't really care. I don't want a relationship"
Feeling as though a knife was pushing deep into his stomach, he nodded and whispered, "Cool"
A loud drill broke the silence; Todoroki looked at his phone and sighed.
"I gotta go back to work. There's an interview on the 5pm news with Endeavor, I really can't be bothered" he sighed whilst standing up and put a 300 yen onto the table. Then, he patted Izuku on his green curls, "See ya, Izuku"
Throughout the whole rest of his college day, Izuku couldn't help thinking about Todoroki, and how jealous he felt whilst Uraraka was swooning over him. Flopping onto his bed, Izuku switched on the TV to reveal Todoroki and Endeavor sitting on a couch with a female reporter opposite them.
Speak of the devil.
"And, how's the investigation going with this week's incident?" she asked them.
"We are trying our hardest to do justice" spoke Endeavor loudly.
"You both are related, are you alike in any way?"
"I don't understand what's this to do with the investi-", Shoto started, but Endeavor cut him off.
"Pfft. Heck no, he's gay"
Shoto jumped up "What the hell!" he shouted, "On live TV, you dick!" and he walked off set.
Izuku stared at the TV with his eyes widened. He watched Endeavor stand up, point at the camera and say:
"Turn them off"
Before turning off, the camera spun around to show Shoto's face complete with tears dripping down his cheeks as a crowd of assistants and camera crew surrounded him.
Izuku switched off his TV and called to his mum, "I'm using the car for the evening"
iz mido 5.13 PM : back entrance, tv studios, 5 mins, be there I got the car
shoto todoroki 5.14 PM : save me
"Come on" waved Izuku to Todoroki.
He broke apart from the growing crowd of reporters and onlookers and hopped into the car. Izuku started driving further and further away.
"Midoriya? Was you really going to kill yourself the day I met you?"
"Fuck, Todoroki. can you not? You've just been outed on live TV, don't run away from this one"
"I'm sorry" whispered Todoroki, "I should've told you. You probably hate me"
"I can't hate you for being gay, I'm bi" sighed Izuku.
"Oh"
"What's going to happen?" he stopped the car nearby a field after driving steadily north for 15 minutes.
"I don't know, the medias going to slaughter me" he put his heads in his hands and his shoulders shook.
"Fuck!" suddenly screamed Todoroki as he sat up, "That idiot!" he punched the dashboard and Izuku flinched.
"It's going to be okay" soothed Izuku.
"Its not, dammit. Have you ever heard of a gay hero?"
"So what? You're the first"
"Why do you care? We hardly know each other"
"I feel like I've known you years" blushed Izuku. he then abruptly changed the subject, "How did your dad even find out"
"A year ago, he walked in on me and my boyfriend kissing. Then, he almost burnt down the house and my boyfriend immediately broke up with me after being heavily threatened" Todoroki shut his eyes and sighed heavily.
"I'm so sorry, Todoroki"
"Don't… don't call me that. Its his name. Call me something else"
"Okay… Sho. Call me Izu or Izuku"
Tears continued streaming down his face "What are we going to do?" he groaned.
"Whatever it is, we stay together"
He nodded, "Of course, Izu"
