TODOROKI
Nothing…nothing will describe the pain I felt knowing that Midoriya lied to me. The sweet little lies he let flow from his lips lead to all of this. At the same time can I really blame him. Had he told me the truth from the start I would have cut him off immediately. I wouldn't have given myself the chance to fall for him. The other night was a complete mistake. I allowed my emotions to get the best of me. I love him so much and he loves me, all of me. In the heat of the moment I could feel it. I wanted to feel it one last time…
"This place is sure to be a success!" exclaims Best Jeanist holding up a glass of wine. I had my grand opening around noon. The whole day was really just me hanging around answering questions and getting people to sign up which I have several already.
"Thank you," I smile. It is after 9pm and the center is closed now. It is just my staff and a few people remaining for the after party I am holding. My eyes drift to Midoriya who is still here. He looks so cute too. He is only wearing shorts and a tee but seeing those legs. I drink some more of my wine. Makes me glad he didn't show until 6pm. I miss him.
"Do you plan to be in town often?" asked Mount Lady. "It has been nice having you around lately." Oh really? This crazy bitch was complaining that I was cutting in on her funds. I guess she can't rely on her looks alone. I would be damn if she tried to take credit for my work like she has done others. She tried me once, I lit her ass up and not in the way she hoped. I tilt my head knowing she really wants to know how much longer I'm going to be in town.
"You didn't hear?" I question. "I'm a teacher at U.A. so I'm going to be around a lot more." I see her eye twitch.
"That's just great….." she says through gritted teeth. "Excuse me….." She walks away with Best Jeanist looking after her.
"You know you hurt that girl feelings," he says. I shrug.
"I will be doing less hero work now that I'm teaching so she can calm all that down," I reply. I catch Midoriya having a conversation with one of my staff members. It looks…..heated. Midoriya looks around like he is looking for me. The guy pulls him towards the storage room. What the hell? "Best Jeanist, I need to follow up on a few things. Excuse me."
"Of course," he replies. I make my way to the storage room outside listening carefully.
"Are you seriously going telling me you have no interest in me?" my staff member questions.
"You knew I was interested in working here Shinsou," Midoriya replies. "You did this shit on purpose."
"Look I know you are still hurt from me ending the relationship," he says calmly. "It is clear you haven't moved on." Yes, he has, you asshole. My Izuku is not thinking about your ass. I feel my jaw getting tight not liking how he is talking to him.
"I have gotten over you," says Midoriya. "That doesn't mean I want to be in the same room as you."
"God you are so immature," he replies. "Whatever, you are not getting me fired on my first day. Besides I don't know if they are looking for more staff members." I'm not but the idea of coming here and seeing Midoriya makes me happy. I would have something to look forward to. I shake my head reminding myself I am not a teenager. Besides I need to stay away from him. I slink my way away from the storage room spotting All Might flagging me down. I take a deep breath as I have been avoiding him. Just when I thought the night couldn't get any worse my dad comes through the doors. He says hi to a few people making his way over to me. He looks around my dojo.
"Not bad son," he states.
"Thank you," I replied. He smirks at me before leaning in.
"Where is this guy that has been making my son weak?" he asked in a whisper. My jaw gets tight as I want to cuss him out.
"Endeavor, how are you?" asked All Might. I have never been so glad to have my father interrupted. "Isn't the space great? I'm so proud of him. I wish I could train here." My dad laughs.
"Of course, you do," he grins. "How is teacher Todoroki?"
"Don't call me that," I say to him. He ignores me of course.
"He is doing great," says All Might. "Got the girls swooning." They begin to laugh as I feel embarrassed. I do have a few of these high school girls trying their luck with me. I almost growl remembering how Midoriya tricked me. "No need to look upset my boy, I'm just kidding. I know you would never sleep with a student."
"Excuse me," I say walking away to keep from responding to that statement. Technically I didn't know Midoriya was student at U.A. I head to my personal office wanting to be alone for a moment. I walk into my office sighing as I sit down in my office chair. I grab a bottle of liquor out of my draw. I shouldn't have this here but in cases like this I am glad it is here. I pour some in a glass that I also pulled out from my draw. I sip slow waiting for the effects to hit me because the champagne isn't doing a damn thing. I get lost in my thoughts when I hear a knock on my door. "Come in," I watch as the purple hair kid who is Midoriya ex pop into my office.
"Almost everyone is gone," he states flatly. "Your father refuses to leave without speaking to you first." I roll my eyes.
"Is everything cleaned up?" I asked.
"Yes sir," he replies. "Your dad is the last one standing." I put up my items standing up.
"How did we do in sales today?" I asked.
"Really well," he replies stepping out my office. I lock the door. "We signed up 352 clients but most had to come back tomorrow as we shut down for your private party."
"Excellent," I state holding in my surprise. I side glance him almost wondering how did he win over my Midoriya. What did Midoriya see in him? Does he want to go back to him now that he can't have me? No, I don't think he wants him back. He clearly stated that but Shinsou seems to think otherwise. "Did you have any friends come through here today?" I am curious to know his response.
"Not really," he replies. "I don't have a lot of friends. I am kind of a longer if you get what I mean." I do get what he means.
"Focusing on your career?" I ask as we reach the open training area.
"Not just yet," he replies. "I have no idea what my career is going to be just yet. I am just a freshmen in college so yeah." So he did go to a different school, college. God I can't believe it. I lay eyes on my father.
"Thank you for staying and cleaning up," I reply. "I will close up, you are free to go."
"Thank you," he replies. He goes into one of the sales office to clock out. I walk over to my father.
"I can't believe you stayed," I state.
"Drunk are we?" he questions.
"No," I reply shoving my hands in my pocket. "I'm good." I watch as Shinsou head out the doors without another word. I have to give him that he seems to have very good work ethics.
"Seems like you were hiding from me," says dad. "Who the hell disappears during their own open."
"I wasn't hiding," I reply. "You know how I can be with crowds. No one else had a problem with it. I'm about to lock up."
"Understandable," says dad. "However, I noticed you dodged that question regarding your boyfriend."
"I'm not," I replied. "I don't have to discuss anything with you."
"Oh please," says dad following me outside. "You have been starting to talk to me a little more and now you want to shut me out." I sigh not in the mood for this. I lock the front door knowing all the other doors are locked. I turn on the alarm from my cell.
"Until you tell me the truth about mom don't bother," I state walking to my car.
"I did," he replies. "It is best if you stay away from her." I shake my head unlocking my car getting inside. I wave to my father before taking off. To be honest I haven't given much more thought to seeing my mom. I have been too busy thinking about this shit with Midoriya. Halfway into my drive I regret not having my driver. I'm pretty tired. I'm glad when I finally arrive at my home. I pull up to the house recognizing Midoriya on my porch. What the hell is he doing here? I signal for him to come into my garage against my better judgement. I close the garage door heading inside my home with Midoriya close behind.
"You know you aren't suppose to be here," I state unbuttoning the top of my shirt. I know the students have free range in the evening and on the weekends. Midoriya isn't being followed but this is still risky.
"I know….." he says with his voice shaking. "I wanted to talk to you but there were so many people at the event. I didn't see you for the rest of the night so I figured coming here was the next best thing. You wouldn't text me….."
"I already told you we shouldn't be talking at all," I say with my heart heavy. I have to close my eyes to keep it together. I can't even handle seeing the sad look on his face.
"I just really wanted to know how everything went," he says quietly.
"You couldn't have seriously come all this way for just that," I state heading up the stairs. Midoriya is following behind me.
"I did," he cries. "I just wish you would text me….."
"You are my student," I snap at him. "We can't fucking be friends. You need to get that through your head."
"All Might is my friend and he is our school principal," says Midoriya emotionally. I freeze in place just inside my bedroom. I didn't know that. "I mean it is a long story but no one knows that….well you do now…but I said that to prove we can be friends." I know he is closer to me despite my back being to him.
"I can't be friends with you," I say sternly. "I love you. This is different from your friendship with All Might." I can hear him sniffle allowing me to clearly envision his heartbreaking face. My heart hurts but I have to do this.
"Shouto….I need you….." he whispers in a soft crying voice. I can't help it as I turn around to face him.
"Need me in what way?" I ask. "I'm sure you can live without me." I don't mean to sound harsh, but I have to be. I don't think I can withstand him showing up to my home again. Depressing part is I would never turn him away. Even now I want to take him into my arms. Midoriya has this facial expression that lets me know I'm breaking his heart right now.
"You're my best friend….." he says softly. "I can't just stop loving you…..caring about you."
"You have to," I reply sternly. "I appreciate the fact you want to be friends, but we can't. Soon as you graduate come back to me. I will be here." I mean it. I want him in my life but only after it doesn't threaten my lively hood.
"You promise….." he says with tears running down his face. I walk over to him swallowing hard. I want to touch him so badly. I can't hold back if I do.
"Yes, I promise," I reply. He gazes up at me.
"What about…..your urges?" he asks as if he is scared to know. I know what he is referring to. He doesn't know how much he affected me. I can't just go back to what I was doing. I don't want meaningless sex anymore. Sex with the person you love is indescribable.
"They are mine to deal with," I reply.
"I don't want you with anyone else," he sniffles wiping his eyes.
"We aren't together," I say coldly. I want him to think I would be with someone else. I need him to let me go…for now. He starts sobbing unable to hold in his tears any longer. "I need you to leave." I can't handle all his crying. It's making me weak. I just want to make love him. Love him how he deserves to be loved. I can give that to him but not right now. He wipes his eyes as he runs away from me. I can hear him on the phone calling for a cab as he walks out the front door. I release a deep breath and I can see the puffs of smoke coming from throat letting me know just how upset I am. I run my hands through my hair. I walk down the stairs locking my door feeling my anger increase. Yeah, I need to hit the gym, now.
