No Regrets

"Shou," Kagome leaned over him. "Are you still feeling ill?"

A gentle palm swept across his forehead.

Todoroki sighed. He leaned into her touch as the world around him continued to spin.

"Yeah," His voice sounded weak even to himself. "Mind staying here for a bit longer?"

He couldn't see it clearly but he could've sworn that she was smiling at him right now.

"Of course. After all, you stayed with me when I was sick." He took her hand within his as she spoke. They hadn't been dating long. Probably only a month or two, but since they'd gotten together their relationship was the only thing anyone would talk about.

Class 1-A's interest was understandable. They were his peers and the people closest to them. As far as any of them knew, their relationship was just something interesting and different compared to the norm. However the media had taken an interest as well.

As Endeavor's son, he knew that he'd have to be careful. Especially with the attention being placed squarely upon his father's back after All Might's retirement. Endeavor's harsh personality wasn't what the public wanted for their number one hero, so inevitably people began to look at him as a possible successor.

He closed his eyes. It'd all just been one giant pain in his ass.

"You shouldn't strain yourself so much. Training is fine but even so, you need to understand what limits you shouldn't pass." There was an edge of concern in her words.

His lips pulled upwards, "I'm getting lectured by you now?"

Kagome laughed, "Of course. It's my job to look after you, right?"

He smiled a little wider.

The truth was that the media wasn't just interested in them because of his lineage. That was one aspect of it but there was something else. Something even more shocking to them.

Kagome was quirkless.

They'd met a few times in the town by chance. She worked part time at an arcade he and his friends visited frequently. He'd thought that she was pretty cute and one day he finally had the chance to ask her out. It came as a surprise to her really, but he hadn't regretted it for an instant.

Kagome had confided to him on their first date that she didn't possess any kind of quirk. More times than not she'd grown used to people dumping her as soon as they found out. She even seemed resigned to that possibility the moment she told him.

They lived in an age where quirks meant everything. A person's power determined what kind of future they would have. So someone without a quirk was viewed as 'lesser'. They were often bullied intensely during their school days and Kagome was no exception to that rule.

Her endearing nature had served to form a few close bonds with a handful of her classmates but outside of that she still found herself on the receiving end of biting comments. The reporters were the worst.

A media firestorm was brewing over their relationship. He tried his best to keep her name out of the headlines, but it was a moot point. They'd found her identity, where she went to school and even the shrine where she lived. Everyday had been a nightmare filled with camera flashes and rapid fire questions. Eventually he'd been granted permission to allow her short stays on U.A.'s Campus. Only during the day and never any overnights. However it was enough to prevent them from being harassed constantly.

He threaded their fingers together.

Kagome was right about one thing. He needed to learn his limits. He'd pushed himself too far with all of the training and media attention as of late.

"How long are you staying?" His question was met with that familiar smile he'd gotten so used to.

"As long as you want."

His own smile stretched a little wider.

Despite the problems they were facing, Kagome had displayed a vicious protectiveness over him. She'd gone toe to toe in a verbal sparring match with several reporters before and today was no different. Just a few hours ago she'd scathed the few that dared to question the authenticity of their relationship. It was that nature that endeared him all the more to her.

Todoroki sat up. He slanted his mouth over hers as he enjoyed the softness of her lips.

Being with her was one thing he'd never regret.
