MIDORIYA
"K-Kacchan….." I cry into the phone. I just got out of the Lyft. My emotions are hitting me all at once. I managed to keep my voice during the ride back here but I can't anymore…..
"What's wrong?" he asked. "You okay?"
"I don't know…" I sob. I feel like I'm dying. This is so much worse than when Shinsou broke up with me. At least I didn't have to see his face 5 days a week. "Can you meet me downstairs please." I am actually afraid to be alone. I slowly walk up to the dorms seeing Kirishima and Bakugou running towards me. Of course they were together….must be nice. I start crying again.
"Shit," hisses Bakugou as Kirishima comes to comfort me. Kirishima wraps his arms around me guiding me inside the dorms.
"Everything is going to be alright," says Kirishima. "Did seeing Shinsiou upset you?"
"No!" I exclaim. I forgot about my little chat with Shinsiou. I wanted him to put in a good word for me so I could get a job at the dojo but he was refusing. I decided to just let go. I probably don't need to be working my 3rd year anyway. "My boyfriend broke up with me…"
"What boyfriend?" questions Bakugou.
"Shhh….." hushes Kirishima as we get on the elevator. "No one knows about his boyfriend."
"Nobody cares," says Bakugou shoving his hands in his pockets. "I would recommend taking him out, but you saw how that ended the last time. I have a feeling you turned that one night stand into an actual relationship." He snorts. "Maybe you should have kept that one night stand a one night stand."
"You don't understand…." I whisper rubbing my eyes.
"Ignore him," says Kirishima as the elevator stops on my floor. I shakily pull out my key and can barely get it into the hole. I can't stop my hand from shaking.
"For fuck's sake," says Bakugou snatching my key from me. He unlocks the door allowing Kirishima to lead me inside. Kirishima guides me to sit on the bed.
"What happened Midoriya?" he asks looking down at me. "I thought things were going well."
"They were but he broke up with me," I reply. "I mean I get why he did it, but he doesn't even want to be friends."
"Leave him alone then," says Bakugou. "The guy clearly doesn't care about you."
"He fucking loves me!" I bellow standing to my feet with my fist balled up. I'm getting angry because I know that Todoroki loves me. I have seen it, I have felt it but tonight…..how do you just shut off your emotions like that?
"Calm down," says Kirishima reaching out to touch me.
"No!" I exclaim snatching away from him. "If you aren't going to be helpful Kacchan you can just leave."
"You fucking called me!" he exclaimed. "What the hell is wrong with you? Always crying over some guy."
"Fuck you," I hiss at him.
"I wouldn't," barks Bakugou. "Your ass is too clingy for that." I walk up slapping the shit out of him. I'm not clingy! I'm an excellent supportive lover! There is a difference!
"Whoa!" says Kirishima immediately getting in between us. Bakugou is in shock but not for long. Seeing blood lightly leaking from his busted lip brings him out of it. I see that familiar look in his eyes. For the first time in years I don't care. I'm not even scared of him.
"You son of a bitch!" screams Bakugou. He tries to get around Kirishima. "Get the fuck out of my way!"
"I wish you would!" I taught him with adrenaline running through me. I need to take my anger out on someone, why not him. He is asking for it right now. I can see little puffs of smoke coming from his hands. I fire up my quirk standing firm as the green electric current begins to glow around my body. "I'm ready anytime now."
"Let me fight him!" cries Bakugou. "Let me!" Kirishima is holding Bakugou back which is harder than it looks. Kirishima starts pushing Bakugou towards the door. "I got you in class damnit! Kirishima won't be able to save your ass!" Kirishima gets Bakugou through the door slamming it close. I relax my quirk running my hands through my hair. I didn't mean for things to get out of hand like that. I'm lucky the teachers didn't come running over here. Bakugou voice can really travel when he is worked up.
I walk to the mirror on the back of my door. My eyes are red and puffy. I should have never called Bakugou to begin with. That was a mistake. I didn't want to call Uraraka and hear the whole I told you so bit. I mean she would be comforting but insulting me at the same time. I would have hated to snap on Uraraka like I did to Bakugou. I sigh realizing that I don't want to feel anything anymore.
A WEEK LATER
"Good job," says Todoroki. "We have a few more minutes left in class. Does anyone care to show off what they have learned so far?" Kirishima is waving his hand excitedly. He is begging Bakugou to raise his hand, but he is saying no. All those threats and Bakugou didn't do shit in class. Here is his chance and yet he has nothing to say. I have stayed in my corner not really talking to anyone. I know most of my classmates noticed and I don't care. "Come on up here Kirishima. Anyone else?" I can see a few of my classmates raise their hands. I gaze out the window seeing it is a nice day outside, yet I just want to go to my room and sleep. "Midoriya, why don't you come up? I haven't seen you fight at all this week." I almost cut my eyes at him.
"No," I reply causing some of my classmates to gasp. I didn't even have to think about my response.
"That wasn't a request," says Todoroki. I can see Kirishima looking confused.
"Whatever," I replied leaning back on my hands. I can see the anger flicker in his eyes, good.
"Get up," says Todoroki a little sternly. I know I am getting to him.
"No," I reply glaring at him.
"Deku," whispers Uraraka. "What are you doing? Just do it."
"He can't make me," I replied not bothering to whisper. Todoroki stares at me as I smirk at him thinking I have him right where I want him.
"Do you want to fight me or Kirishima?" he asked.
"Why?" I question in confusion.
"You got 15 seconds to answer me," says Todoroki tensing up his body up. "If you don't, I will attack, and you will be force to defend." I can see my classmates backing away from me. "No quirk, pure combat." I glare at Todoroki and he is serious. I took too long to respond. He literally lunges at me. I roll away from him quickly getting to my feet. Todoroki hits me in the face as I let my guard down. I fall down to my knees becoming angry. I take off from my spot on the ground with a serious of kicks left and right with Todoroki blocking them like nothing.
"Aaagggaahhh!" I scream punching at his shoulder that was left open. Todoroki eyes widen as my anger gets the best of me and my quirk is awakened. I don't bother stopping the 3% of power that leaves through my fist. Todoroki blocks the hit, but it pushes him back.
"I said no quirk," he says sternly. I toss my hair back.
"Afraid you can't beat me?" I question. The look in his eyes I see I clearly pissed him off. Todoroki stares at me as he put his hands together as if he is about to pray. I watch in amazement as fog begins to release from his hands. I never seen him do that before….
"Let's even the playing field," he says coldly. "I suggest everyone stay back." I allow my quirk to flow through my body trying to not let my fear get to me. My eyes are good but not enough to see through fog. My eyes dart around looking for any sign of where Todoroki is. Movement of any kind. I slow my breathing down as I try to locate him. I suddenly feel his arm around my neck as I did that day in the park. "Shouldn't have introduced quirks to this fight. You are out ranked."
"You think so," I hissed. I channel 10% percent running forward dragging Todoroki through the fog but not for long. I slip hitting the ground hard. I have the wind knocked out of me in the process. I am trying to get air into my lungs as Todoroki appears over me. The fog is starting to clear. I glare at him as I am still trying to catch my breathe.
"Class dismissed," says Todoroki. He hasn't taken his eyes off me. "You will be staying and cleaning this entire room." I can't even respond. I feel my classmate's eyes on me as they leave the classroom. Todoroki slides the doors open that can lead us outside. I glance around at what little I can of the room. I noticed everything is slightly damp because of the fog he created. God damnit. I'm not cleaning this. I finally get up slowly. I stumble towards the door. "Where do you think you are going?"
"To my dorm," I say slowly. Todoroki is across the room in a flash blocking my exit. I stand up glaring at him. "Move."
"You will not speak to me in that manner," he says.
"I can do whatever the hell I want!" I snap at him.
"Do I need to contact your mother?" he asked. I fight to keep my emotions in check. I really don't want him to call my mom. She is always on edge because of the first couple of years here at U.A. were rough.
"No," I reply folding my arms. "You're making me late for my date." I didn't mean to say that! Why did I say that!
"What did you say?" growl Todoroki. I glare at him not believing he has the nerve to be upset.
"I have a date," I lie. Todoroki grabs me by my jaw shocking me.
"What was that?" he hisses getting in my personal space. I can feel his breathe on my lips as I stare into his eyes. Even in this moment I feel aroused being this close to him. He still cares. I can feel it. Todoroki eyes travel my face before meeting my glare. I lick my bottom lip witness him lose his breathe for a moment. A low moan escapes my lips as Todoroki leans closer. He is going to kiss me…..
"Shouto…" Todoroki releases me quickly as I snatch away from him turning to All Might. Fuck I hope he didn't see that. He hobbles into the room walking over to me. "Young Midoriya, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," I lie. "I was just about to head to my dorm."
"No, you're cleaning this mess up," states Todoroki. "We talked about this. Do I need to get your mom on the phone?" I stomp away from him grabbing a towel so I can begin to wipe stuff down. It's better to not argue with him.
"Todoroki, can I talk to you for a minute?" asked All Might. I can feel Todoroki eyes on me, and I ignore him. I release a deep sigh when he is not in the room anymore. Maybe All Might can convince him to not call my mom. I look at the patch of ice I feel on. It's going to be a little while before that melts. I start on one side of the room and begin to make my way around the edges since the ice on the mat is still melting. I am halfway done when Todoroki walks back into the room with All Might close behind.
"Midoriya," says All Might. "Come see me when you are done. Todoroki is not going to call your mom this time."
"Okay," I reply. All Might gives me a nod heading out the classroom. "So….what are you going to do about this ice?" Todoroki looks beyond irritated.
"Don't say anything to me without be addressing first," he says.
"Whatever….." I mutter rolling my eyes. He is the one who started this. He should have just left me the fuck alone. I didn't even want to fight. I go back to wiping the items down. I am almost done when I see Todoroki melt the ice without melting the mat. I grab some towels walking over to him. I get down on my knees starting to dry up the melted ice. Todoroki gets up walking over to his desk. I go put the dirty towels in a wash basket. "I'm out."
"See you Monday," says Todoroki. "You will not be talking to me like that again. I will notify your parents next time. I don't do empty threats." I frown before talking out of the classroom. I make my way down to All Might office feeling pretty worn down as dealing with Todoroki drained the hell out of me. I get to All Might office knocking softly. He tells me to come in. I follow instructions ensuring the door is closed. All Might looks at me and he is not smiling. I sit down in the chair trying not to let the guilt show on my face.
