TODOROKI

I went back home after 2 days. I refuse to say anything to my father as he is being a complete asshole. I have to say dating Midoriya is not a distraction as I thought it would be. If anything, it has made me feel whole in a way. I'm on my way to visit my mom to see how she is doing. I like to visit her at least once a week, more if I can. I get to her room knocking letting her know I'm here. She is sitting in her favorite chair by the window looking outside.

"Hi mom," I greet. She turns around smiling at me. She looks so happy in here but I guess any time away from dad is good. Lucky for me U.A. turned into a dorm school, saved my ass. "How was your holiday?" I walk closer to her so she can see me.

"It was good," she replied. "Thank you for the bracelet, it is very lovely." She holds up the bracelet showing me that she is wearing it. I know nothing about buying jewelry but Yaoyorozu helped me out. Granted she has expensive taste but still did good none the less. Mom notices my healing bruises my face and hands. "I can see you have been playing with your father."

"You can say that," I sigh shoving my hands in my pockets. It hurts my wrist to do that but I do it anyway. Mom stares at me for a bit.

"Something is different," she states softly.

"Well usually I'm not this bruised," I point out.

"No that's not it," she replied. She stared harder looking focused. "You're in love." I raise an eyebrow.

"I do have a boyfriend," I admit. "I'm not in love with him." My mom giggles.

"A mother knows these things," she says. "I didn't know you were gay Shoto."

"I go either way," I replied. "It's not worth discussing because I'm going to date who I want, seriously I'm not in love."

"It's the beginning stages so you may not realize it yet," smiles mom. "I would love to meet him." I feel myself get nervous. Me seeing my mom is one thing but bringing someone else, I don't know about that. "What are you doing for New Years?"

"I was just going to stay home," I replied shrugging.

"Shoto, it's New Year's Eve and you have a boyfriend," says mom shocked. "You should be taking him out, doting him." I feel embarrassed to even be having this conversation with her. I think Midoriya doesn't expect much from me so I don't think it is a big deal.

"I wouldn't even know what to do," I finally say not looking at my mom. I stare out the window at the snow. "We just started dating but he is a simple person."

"Even better," she smiles. "Tell me about him." How would I describe Midoriya?

"Uh he is nice, very friendly. His goal is to be a hero at all cost. He doesn't even care about being a number 1 hero he just likes helping people. He doesn't train more than me but very close to it. In his spare time he likes to read and watch movies. Other than that, he is focused on perfecting his quirk, learning as much as he can about other hero's quirks. He is really good at figuring out how to defeat an opponent. He can also work really well with a team, figure out how to use their quirks to achieve a goal." I turn around and my mom's smile is even brighter.

"He's sounds wonderful, reminds me of you when you were small," she sighs at the memory.

"He is a big fan of All Might as well," I inform. "Like he was obsessed." I laugh on the inside remembering what his dorm room looked like our first year.

"You're a fan of All Might, are you not?" questioned mom.

"Not like he was," I replied. She tilts her head.

"Hmm," she hums. "Since this is last minute I'm not sure if a nice dinner would work."

"I don't want to go to fancy restaurant," I sighed. I almost regret telling her I have a boyfriend.

"I think you should do something at least but of course your happiness is important. Why don't you invite him to the house?" I hadn't thought about that. I usually don't bring anyone to my house. Dad would be out tonight since he is the number one hero he said he has to work. I don't really care I prefer him gone.

"That is not a bad idea," I reply thinking about it some more.

"Can you cook?" asked mom. "I'm sure your sister would be willing to help as well."

"Maybe," I replied rolling my eyes. My brothers can be pretty selfish at times, but Fuyumi is different from them. Something tells me my brothers got their personality from dad.

"I have some recipes," said mom getting up from her chair and walking over to a small bookcase. She happily gives me recipes and talks to me some more. At least she is happy and not sad today. Some days she is not in a good mood and I can't see her. I leave her heading home. I head into the house seeking out Fuyumi. She is actually already in the kitchen and appears to be preparing a meal.

"Little brother," she greets with a smile. "You came to the kitchen instead of your room, I'm shocked." Fuyumi still has her hair a little past her shoulder sporting her glasses. She hasn't changed much over the past couple of years. "What are you up to?"

"Nothing really," I replied. "I just came from seeing mom and she wants me to have a date night with my boyfriend. She gave me these…"

"You have a boyfriend!" exclaimed Fuyumi. "When did this happen?"

"Ugh…it's still fresh," I replied. "What are you cooking anyway?"

"I'm not thinking about that right now," she replied. "I mean you have a boyfriend! How could you not tell me about him?" I sigh knowing she is not going to let this go. She seems shy around other people but she is complete opposite at home. She is not a teacher for nothing.

"You already know him," I replied. "It's Midoriya. Look are you going to help me or not?"

"Isn't that the classmate you fought your first year?" she asked.

"Yes," I replied. "Answer my question." She giggles.

"Of course I will help you," she walks over taking the cards out of my hand. "I don't have the ingredients to make this one but the other one is doable."

"You don't have to cook these," I replied. "I can tackle that shit some other time. What are you fixing?"

"I'm fixing up some marinated beef strips with rice. I haven't decided on a veggie yet. Maybe peas and cauliflower, not sure. What do you think?"

"You're cooking it so you can do whatever you want," I replied leaning on the counter glad I don't have to cook now. My mom doesn't ask much of me so I was willing to try but now I don't have to. I watch as Fuyumi begins to fidget. She must have more questions. "What's up Fuyumi?"

"Is he coming here or are you taking the food?" she asked.

"He is coming here," I muttered. "Dad is patrolling tonight." I watch as my sister begins to smile even more.

"This is so cute!" she exclaimed. She sighs in content. "I think it is good you have a boyfriend. All you do is train."

"I don't have a choice," I replied. "I mean not that I don't want to get better. You're lucky dad doesn't ride your ass."

"Don't remind me," she says lowly. "I know he is still going to want to come home to something to eat after pratol tonight. Does he know you have a guest?"

"No" I reply. "It was last minute. I still need to message him anyway for all I know he already has plans."

"Alright" she replies. "The food will be here regardless. I'm going out myself for New Year's Eve." My eyes widen.

"You have a date?" I asked. Fuyumi blushes.

"I don't know what you are talking about," she replies turning her back to me. I pull out my phone as I head to my room. I shoot Midoriya a text.

Tordoroki: What are you doing tonight?

I know, not smooth but whatever.

Midoriya: I was going to stay in with my parents. Why? What do you have planned?

Man he responded to that fast. I swear he always has his phone in his hand.

Tordoroki: I was wondering if you wanted to come over

I sigh as I walk into my room. I'm super nervous not that I expect him to say no anyway. My room is much bigger than the school dorm but other than that it looks the same. I do at least have a TV here. I don't see a need for one at school though. I wonder if I should wear different clothes as I look at myself in the mirror. I'm currently wearing this dorky turtle neck to hide all the bruises on my body. Midoriya has seen them so I think I will change into some more comfortable clothes.

Midoriya: Are you seriously inviting me to your home? Should I bring something? What time?

I chuckle before sending my response.

Tordoroki: Yes.

I blush as I think before keying in the rest of the text message.

Tordoroki: Yes. I want to bring in the New Year with you. I will be taking of dinner so you don't need to bring anything

I sit down on my bed. God I thought once he became my boyfriend things would be easier. I feel like things got just a little harder. I still feel embarrassed about burning him and masturbating in front of him. We both felt good together but that doesn't make things less awkward. I roll my eyes at the memory when I hear my phone chime, I grab it immediately.

Midoriya: My mom said that is fine. She wants to know if I'm staying the night because she is not a fan of me walking home at night. God as if I'm not a hero with a Provisional License.

I laugh out loud this time. His mom is over protective but I love her for it, in certain ways she reminds me of my mom. I did not think about the fact he would be leaving really late. I think on it for a minute. Midoriya here, in my room, in my bed for the whole night. I like the idea a lot compared to how I'm usually alone or with my sister for the New Year.

Tordoroki: You can stay the night. I will get you home in the morning

I can picture Kirishima losing his shit if he knew what I was doing. He has always been good at reading me beside Midoriya. I still don't reveal everything to him, I let him figure things out on his own.

Midoriya: Okay I will head that around 4 before it gets dark

Tordoroki: See you then
