"Nice to see you again, Izuku. Now that you're back in my arms, I'm never letting you go." A scratchy voice spoke through a smile only a killer would wear. "Why would you leave me? HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME!" Midoriya trembled, taking in the sight. "T-tomura. I-I swear I didn't mean too. I-I was just scar-" "SHUT UP" A hand swung at him, making contact with his scarred skin. A red hand mark remained on his cheek as well as a few stray tears.
"DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND, IZUKU?! YOU'RE MINE. I SHOULD KILL YOU FOR DISOBAYING ME!" Midoriya moved as far back as he could until he hit a wall. There was no excuse good enough that would get him out of this. He was trapped. Again and again. Over and over. He would never be set free. His vision was blurry from the tears. He hovered a hand to his cheek, feeling the tingling pain. "Heh heh heh. Izukuuuu~" Shigaraki reached toward the trembling greenette.
"Izuku~." Over and over again. It made him want to throw up. He was so close. He would kill him. "Izuku." He closed his eyes, shielding himself from the sight. "Izuku?" He whispered sorrys along with promises to behave. "Izuku. Wake up." Huh? He removed the hands covering his eyes. The surplus of light made him remember. "S-shoto?" The familiar face assured him that he was safe.
"Are you okay? You were crying." Todoroki was squeezing his hand, releasing a warmth close to hope. Todoroki smiled at him. "It's going to be okay. You're free. He can't get you anymore." Midoriya jumped him with a hug. He squeezed as tight as he could, tears flowing like a sink with no hope for finish anytime soon. Todoroki hugged him back, whispering words of assurance and promises to protect.
Once he calmed down, and his wails turned to sniffles, Todoroki gave him something to eat. It's been a rough few days for Midoriya, having to deal with what happened as well as his fear that it would come back to finish him off. Clean clothes were laying neatly on the chair across the room. Both changed in silence, listening to the other's breathing. Midoriya wore a loose white t-shirt with grey sweatpants. Todoroki on the other hand wore a black turtleneck with a pair of pants from home. Midoriya still didn't have a proper set of clothes so he was wearing whatever the hospital could supply.
It wouldn't be too long until he would be taking shopping or given clothes of his very own. Until then though, he would be wearing loose baggy clothes of boring colors. It actually didn't seem to bother the greenette, in fact nothing seemed to bother him aside from his memories. His eyes would be glossy but still dull, like an old iron sword. It still shows a reflection but wouldn't be ideal to use. "Hey, Shoto-kun?" Todoroki turned to face Midoriya. "What do you usually do. Outside of the hospital I mean." Midoriya sat on the edge of the bed, not too far from the other male in the room.
"Well, usually I attend school. Other than that... I don't have much of an interesting life." Todoroki really didn't. He would just lock himself in his dorm and do whatever. "Where do you go to school?" In all honesty, Todoroki was quite proud to tell Midoriya where he went to school. Maybe it would make him look better or just more trustworthy. Whatever it was, he was eager to share. "I attend UA. It's a popular high school to train students that wish to become heroes." Todoroki swore he saw stars in Midoriya's eyes.
"REALLY?!" The greenette bounced excitedly on the mattress. "That's so cool! I bet you're really strong." Not strong enough for this moment. Todoroki's heart squeezed and melted at the same time. He was so cute. Todoroki sunk deeper into his thoughts while Midoriya went on another rant about heroes. He must've been quite the fan boy before he was kidnapped. "Speaking of which, I haven't seen much All Might on the news. Is he taking a break or something?" Midoriya tilted his head to the side like a cat.
"Not quite. He's actually been teaching at UA and is one of my teachers." Izuku's mouth dropped. All Might. The number one hero. Is teaching Shoto-kun. On a daily basis. The unstoppable hero. The symbol of peace. Todoroki interrupted his shock with a small chuckle. "Ah, what's so funny, Shoto-kun?" Izuku pouted like a toddler. "It's nothing. You're just really cute when you're flustered." "H-huh?"
Well damn. If he wasn't flustered before, he was now. A deep red coated his cheeks, almost concealing his freckles. The temperature seemed to have spiked 30 degrees. "S-SHOTO-KUN! THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" He franticly waved around his hands, face still beet red. "It's not just when you're flustered. Everything you do is cute." Shoto stood up, facing Izuku. "When you chew the inside of your cheek when you're thinking. When you mumble up a storm so fast I can barely keep up. Even when you play with the bubbles in the bath when you think no one is looking. The freckles on your cheeks are cute when you go of on tangents. The emeralds and light in your eyes when you get excited. Its all cute." Shoto paused, waiting for a response, slowly inching forward.
The sight he was met with was much more satisfying instead. Izuku's mouth hung open, trying to find words. The blush had spread to the top of his ears. Even the gleam in his eyes reflected Shoto, who stood before him. It proved to Shoto that he was everything Izuku was looking at. All his attention was given to Shoto. Having Izuku's eyes on only him was his plan from the beginning, but holy shit did this feel better than he could've ever imagined. Shoto wanted to carve this moment into his memory. He wanted Izuku to remember this moment as well.
The blush never faltered as he stepped closer and closer. He kneeled down in front of Izuku who was still sitting on the edge of the bed. It felt like time had stopped the closer he leaned in until he felt Izuku's soft lips on his. Izuku didn't move away so he scooched closer, deepening the kiss. As much as he wanted to see what Izuku would look like being kissed, he decided to indulge in the feeling by closing his eyes. Izuku's lips were so soft, so pure, so perfect. They just drew him in. Tempting him with every word.
Once Shoto decided that he should stop before things get too far, he pulled away ever so slowly. There was a look of awe in Izuku's eyes. The sight of him wasn't very different from before the kiss. His mouth still hung open in shock, the blush covered his face, and his eyes were glued to Shoto.
