TODOROKI
I wipe the sweat from my forehead. They beat us down today. Nothing compared to my dad but damn close. I'm on my way to the hot springs to join the rest of my classmates for a relaxing evening. I would prefer to not be naked around them but whatever. I walk into the hot spring, it looks nicer than I thought for us being out in the middle of nowhere. I remove my towel finding a nice corner to sit in.
"I don't think I have ever been so tired," whines Sero as he leans back against the rock behind him.
"Tell me about it," says Kaminair. "I think they should give us massages too. I went into dummy mode twice today. I'm lucky I recovered in time to even enjoy this mini hot spring." It amazes me how so many of my classmates don't know how to work beyond their limits. Thank god they survived the school attack but I don't know if next time they will be so lucky. I did really good but if I learn to handle my fire even more, oh yes. No one will want to fuck with me.
"Midoriya!" exclaims Kirishima. "I have a seat for you over here." I watch as he walks nervously into the room. I'm doing everything in my power to take my eyes off of him. He looks so adorable with those rosy red cheeks, those cute curls flying everywhere. Midoriya removes his towel getting into the water.
"Thanks," he replies moving next to Kirishima. "How did you do today?"
"I held my top form for an extra minute," explains Kirishima. "I use to could only do it for 30 seconds before. I am hoping to make it to 20 minutes one day at some point. I could get a whole lot done if I can achieve that." Midoriya nods excitedly.
"Pretty good," Midoriya replies. "I'm working on some new power combos."
"You mean stealing more moves from me!" says Bakugou chiming in.
"I said I was sorry about that," says Midoriya in a low voice. "The movement is perfect for speed."
"Don't explain shit to him," says Kirishima giving Bakugou a death stare. "He knows that."
"It was mine!" exclaims Bakugou. I roll my eyes because he is being ridiculous. I guess my eye roll didn't go unnoticed by him. "You got something to say, icy boy!"
"Nope," I reply.
"Really?" he asked. "I don't recall your arrogant ass laughing when you almost lost control of your flames today." My nostrils flare because I didn't think anyone had noticed.
"I didn't," I lie. Bakugou laughs.
"Sure, you didn't," he snarls.
"Leave him alone," says Midoriya earning a glare from Bakugou. Midoriya can barely stand up for himself let alone someone else. I see him glance at me blushing before looking away. Kirishima tells Bakugou to calm his nerves. I get back to relaxing my muscles which is interrupted by Mineta trying to peak at the girls on the other side. I could have stopped him but I don't have time for that shit. Things get crazy when that kid Kota falls and Midoriya saves him. He used a small amount of his quirk making me realize he is gaining even more control over it. My eyes can't help but trace over his body in that small towel. I look away not wanting to get aroused in front of the other guys. I growl in irritation as that is not going to happen, time to go. I get out grabbing my towel.
"Hey Todoroki," calls Kirishima running behind. Oh god now what. I turn to look at him tightening my towel around my waist. "You okay? I know Bakugou can be an ass."
"I'm fine," I reply. "It's whatever. He needs to focus on his own shit." Kirishima chuckles.
"Right, right," he agrees. "I will remember to tell him that. Midoriya did good saving that kid. Can you imagine what would have happened if he didn't?"
"Yeah," I reply turning away from him. "He probably would have learned his lesson to not climb so high and be reckless. If he survived the fall. Later." I begin to walk away not in the mood to talk. I head into the room happy to see Midoriya is missing in action. I'm glad since I'm erect at the moment. I apply my lotion making sure not to touch my dick in the process. I want more than anything to touch myself right now. I can't, that will have to wait until I get home. God for the first time ever I am looking forward to going back home. I'm in the process of sliding on my briefs when the door opens.
"Ahh…s-sorry….." stammers Midoriya. I turn away from him focusing on getting on my briefs all the way up. I'm still hard but something tells me seeing his face will make me harder. I close my eyes trying to think of what to say.
"Good job saving Kota today," I reply sliding on my shorts. "It was a great save."
"It happened so fast," says Midoriya softly. "I was afraid I wouldn't get there to him in time. It was horrifying to see him fall like that…" I feel my erection has gone down, thank goodness. I make my way over to my bed.
"You did great," I reply peeling back my covers. I look over at Midoriya who is still in his towel. Fuck. I get under my covers turning over in bed facing away from him. "I can face away from you while you get dressed."
"U-um thanks," he stammers. I can hear him moving around. A part of me wonders if he is hard at all. Should I even be thinking about this? "I wish Mineta wasn't such a pervert." I laugh on the inside. That is like asking the sun to not shine.
"It was pretty much his fault," I reply. "I wonder how did Koda know one of us was going to try and look."
"Well, we are teenage boys….I guess," says Midoriya thoughtfully. "God I'm so tired."
"Me too," I reply. "I know we will sleep well tonight." I can hear him finally getting into bed cutting off the light. "Goodnight Midoriya," I say before I could even form the words in my mind.
"Goodnight Todoroki," he says sleepily. I close my eyes ready to see what tomorrow will bring.
THE FOLLOWING DAY
This is more than what I asked for. An attack, a god damn attack at our training camp. What are these villains really after because it doesn't make any sense why they keep targeting us? I fought hard but the experience of these villains is way harder than the ones who challenged us last year. I would never let them think that. I know there is no way to beat them but we need to get back to the main building.
I found out Bakugou is their target, he is so damn stubborn. He wouldn't listen to anything I had to say during the battle. I have more experience, I'm better at reading the situation but that made no difference for him. Things became more complicated as Tokoyami lost complete control of his shadow. I must admit it was terrifying to watch his shadow lash out at anybody and everybody. Leave it to Midoriya to make this work to our advantage against the villains but sadly it wasn't enough…I stare at Midoriya as he cries out.
"Kacchan!" he screams trying to reach him. Midoriya's broken body hits the ground no longer able to keep up with what his heart wants to do. If I wasn't holding one of our classmates I would definitely be helping Midoriya. It must be painful for him to move. His body looks like he has crawled through hell on his knees.
"Don't follow me…" Bakugou says as the darkness closes in on him. "Let me go." The look on his face matches his tone, his words. Dabi is close behind him as they disappear into the black void taking them god knows where. My heart breaks as I watch Midoriya cry out in anger of not being able to save his childhood friend.
"We need to get back," I reply. "I believe the villains are retreating but I would rather not run into anyone else with Midoriya being down." Shoji picks up Midoriya and we make our way back to the main building. The destruction of this attack is slightly worse as they achieved their goal of getting Bakugou. Ragdoll one of our training camp professors is missing. Everything around us is a mess. We're all checked out but the only person I can think about is Midoriya. I wait until I know no one is in his room where he is recovering. All Might took forever to leave his room and I wonder why that is. I don't have time to focus on that. I know my time is short and I really want to talk to him. I head into the room laying my eyes on Midoriya I cover my mouth to keep from crying.
He has broken both legs and both of his arms, his body is covered in bruises. He looks worse than I remember under the dark night sky. I see the stream of tears sliding down his cheeks. I swallow hard not knowing why I'm getting so emotional. It's not like we're in a relationship or anything. I'm afraid to walk closer to him.
"Who's there?" he asks emotionally.
"It's me," I say sternly. I can't let him hear that I was about to cry over how he looks. He slowly turns toward me. "Don't move, you're injured…" I move closer to the bed he is laying in. As I get closer, he begins to sob.
"I couldn't save them both!" he cries. "Why! Why!" I lean down hugging Midoriya as lightly as I can.
"Shhh, it's okay," I replied. "We did everything we could to save him." Midoriya continues to cry into my shoulder. I know for a fact he would have been hugging me back if he could. I don't pull away until he stops. I have a serious wet spot on my shirt but I know he had a lot to let out.
"Can you sit up my bed please," asks Midoriya. I grab the remote pushing the button until he tells me he is good. He stares at me with his eyes still red from crying. "What's happening out there?"
"You didn't miss anything," I replied. "Some more heroes showed up and was questioning a lot of us. 15 students were knocked out by the gas, Ragdoll is missing, I must say it is pretty awful." Midoriya closes his eyes looking like he is in a lot of pain. "Are you okay?"
"No," he says with a shaky voice. "Recovery girl informed me I can't use my quirk with my arms anymore…" I stare at him in surprise. Not only because he can't use his quirk in his arms but I don't understand how his quirk works. Midoriya has greatly improved since I met him. What does this mean for him? "I don't know what I am going to do….." I sit down on the hospital bed next to him.
"You are going to do what you always do," I say softly. "You will adjust." Midoriya looks at me giving me a small smile for the first time.
"Thanks," he replied. "You were really good today. Thank you for protecting Kacchan."
"Not an easy task," I replied. "I tried though, I really did." Midoriya gazes at me nodding in agreement. I can see the wheels in his head turning. "What are you thinking?" Before he can answer my father just had to interrupt.
"Shouto," he says fiercely. "I have been looking for you." He walks into the room looking at Midoriya as I stand up.
"Sorry," I apologize. "I was following up on my hurt classmate." I know my dad doesn't give a shit but I still wanted to explain myself.
"Um hm," he replies still looking at Midoriya. "Looks like this one didn't handle himself well." The hurt that flashes in Midoriya's eyes was enough to cause me to snap at my father.
"You don't know a damn thing," I replied. "He busted his ass saving two of our classmates. He almost succeeded in saving another classmate. If not for him we would have lost them both! He destroyed his body willingly so don't tell me he didn't do enough."
"We are done here," says dad. "Let's go." I look at Midoriya with the silent tears running down his face once more. I could kill my father. Why the hell is he like this? I begin to walk behind my father following him out of the building. We don't say anything until we get to his SUV that he has a hired driver to drive. Soon as I get seated I feel his hand against my face knocking the shit out of me. I glare down trying to force my eyes to focus as the floor is spinning slightly. "Don't you ever speak to me like that in public."
"We busted our ass," I hiss before looking up at him. "You need to look into how did the villains know where we are? This is some serious shit going down and you worried about how you look?" I shift my eyes away from him as the driver begins to leave the area.
"I'm surprised you didn't stop them," says dad. "That means you're not good enough."
"I'm good," I replied. "These villains were experienced fighters. I was only able to keep them entertained which is a huge task in itself." My dad chuckles.
"The nerve of you," he says menacingly. "You think that is a good thing? You're my son, you should have taken them out as All Might would have." I roll my eyes because here we go with this bullshit again. I listen to my dad tell me about how my training time is going to be double now that summer is in session. It's not like I was expecting anything different.
