TODOROKI
"How could you do something like that?" asked All Might. He sounds horrified. That is exactly how I felt when I saw Midoriya sitting in that classroom.
"I didn't mean to," sniffles Midoriya. "I just wanted to have a good time."
"I get that," says All Might. "But yet you went out with him again."
"He was so cool," says Midoriya truly sounding like a child. "He treated me like an adult."
"Of course, because he thought you were an adult!" exclaims All Might like an angry parent.
"I said I was sorry," says Midoriya. His voice is so distressing. All Might sighs.
"We will get back that," he replies. "What did Tomura say?" Now this I do want to know.
"He said taking me was phase one," explains Midoriya. "Um phase 2 is trying to break All For One out of prison. Can they really do that? He is heavily guarded right?"
"He is," replies All Might. "This is not good. He is going to try and kill you. You are the only person in this world that can defeat him." I raise an eyebrow. I don't know much about All For One but I know they said he was very dangerous. He can steal people's quirks adding to his own. This makes him dangerous indeed. I also heard whispering of him being able to give quirks to others. I shudder at the thought. Some people are just born bad and don't need specific quirks. How is Midoriya the only person able to beat him? Is his quirk that powerful? If it is, that means Midoriya could kill me if he knew how to play his cards right. He is still a young adult clearly learning how to properly fight in battle.
"Tomura wanted me to join them," says Midoriya with his voice shaking. "I would never…."
"I know," says All Might. "You went through a lot tonight. You are very brave." I can hear Midoriya sniffle causing my heart to ache because I'm not there to care for him. "Do you know how Todoroki got to you so quickly?"
"No," he replies. "I-I'm just glad he did."
"He traced your cell phone," explains All Might. "The villains were smart but not super smart. In this case I am glad he has your number."
"Yeah," sighs Midoriya.
"He almost killed trying to save you," says All Might.
"I bet….." says Midoriya dropping his voice. "They deserve to die. I have never…"
"Don't say that young Midoriya," says All Might softly.
"No!" he screams. I can hear my chair scrap the floor letting me know he is no longer sitting. "They were going to rape me! Dabi and Toga. Toga…" He voice becomes uneven making me uneasy. This has left a hard mark on his heart. I ball up my fist wishing I didn't bring attention to my presence in that moment.
"It's going to be okay," says All Might.
"No!" screams Midoriya. "No this is not fucking okay!" I have never heard him so upset. Well not since I tried to break things off with him.
"I'm going to go," says All Might. I back away from the door not wanting to be caught. I already know I'm going to have to hear it from my father. I left the scene and I almost killed two people. My eyes narrow as I enter my room knowing my father has got some shit to own up to. I sit down on the chair in my room taking off my boots as Midoriya comes running into the room slamming the door. He gets into my bed curling up. I glance my room door as it opens up slowly. "Todoroki can you walk me out?" I stare at All Might knowing he wants to talk more.
"Sure," I say standing up. I walk out of the room closing the door.
"I'm really worried about him," he says starting down the hall.
"What he experienced was really terrible," I replied. "Kidnapped, sexually assaulted….it's a lot for anyone to handle."
"He holds on to a lot of things," says All Might. He stares at me. "I think him loving you made things harder." I frown a little trying to see how it could have made things harder. I mean doesn't he love his family. That is beside the fact that they tried to fucking rape him.
"I don't think so," I replied. No sense in denying Midoriya's love for me at this point. All Might chuckles.
"Midoriya is already a great hero and would be willing to do what he can to save lives," explains All Might. "This is the first time I have seen him truly give in to his anger like this. He has always been forgiving, understanding." He sighs. "He loves you, truly loves you. I think it's why he is taking the sexual assault very poorly." I close my eyes for a moment knowing deep down he is right.
"I was telling his mom I think he is going to need counseling," I reply changing the subject. Rather we love each other is irrelevant. Shit, I know Midoriya needs the counseling. He is losing himself, but it is still fresh. It just happened.
"I don't know what we are going to do come Monday," says All Might. "The students can't know about what happened. He seems to not want to leave your side."
"We will figure something out," I reply. We reach the front door. All Might turns to make eye contact with me.
"Thank you," he replies. "Not for just saving his life but doing the right thing by ending the relationship." I nod.
"I couldn't quit working for U.A." I reply. "Midoriya couldn't transfer schools…" All Might chuckles.
"In other words, you didn't want to end the relationship," he states. I blush glancing away from him. He laughs a little. "I will see what I can do regarding his punishment with the board."
"Okay," I reply. "Thanks for coming out this way. I will have my driver drop you off home."
"Thanks," says All Might. "Is he here?"
"I told him to wait," I explain. All Might nods walking out the door. I close it breathing hard. There is so much I don't know about Midoriya. We need to have a serious talk. I sigh gathering myself jogging back up the stairs. I head into my room to see Midoriya is on the phone. He glances my way giving a wobbly smile. I don't care as I walk over kissing his cheek. He doesn't shy away but blushes heavily. I go back to my chair removing my cloths before getting in the shower. I make sure to close the door so Midoriya can talk to his parents.
My shower is quicker than usual. I dry my hair getting dressed before heading out of the bathroom. I glance at Midoriya in my bed with the TV on. He is laying on his side facing my side of the bed. I walk around with exhaustion kicking in since it is now 5am. Midoriya drapes his arm over my waist immediately. I lay back getting comfortable as I can. Midoriya shifts to lay his head on my chest. It is much welcomed after the night we had. It feels so loving. I hate that we are here under these circumstances. Knowing he is safe makes me feel better.
Midoriya falls asleep before I do. I wanted to ensure he was okay. For the first time in years I am light sleeping. I don't want anyone sneaking on me or Midoriya. I managed to get some sleep when I hear a buzz from my gate. Who the hell is that? Midoriya is sleeping heavily currently. I reach for my phone looking at the camera footage through the security app. That mother fucker. I get out of bed quietly closing the room door. I hit the button from my phone to let him in. I run down the stairs snatching the door open seeing my dad SUV park in front of my house.
"I really wish you didn't live far," he states. He looks like he hasn't gotten any sleep at all. "You got some explaining to do." He walks up the porch stairs. I close the door locking it despite knowing no one will dare come inside. I hold back my anger knowing Midoriya is upstairs. I lead my dad to the family room.
"I have company so keep it down," I warn.
"Well last night was rough," he says. "I don't blame you seeking company. I could use a tune up myself. Now what the hell happened last night? How did you find the hideout? The police and several heroes who weren't even able to find it." I ball up my fist.
"That is not important right now," I hiss.
"Of course, it is important!" says dad. "Let's not mention the fact you almost killed two people."
"Don't you mean my brother!" I snap at him. For the first time ever in my life my father goes pale. "Yeah I know. He fucking told me. What the fuck, what the fuck!" I take a deep breath to keep from knocking his ass out. "He told me how you got his mom knocked up. Wanted her to get an abortion and she refused. She had to flee the country in fear you were going to kill her!"
"Let me explain….." he says still stunned.
"You had your chance," I reply. "Plenty and plenty of times. Yet you knew about him?"
"I was seeing his mom while your mom was pregnant," he explains. I immediately feel disgusted.
"Your wife was carrying your baby and you were fucking someone else," I state running my hand through my hair. "Great…..just great….."
"Don't you judge me!" he bellows. "All the people you fuck. You are just as bad as me."
"I would never cheat on my wife!" I yell at him. "I would never ignore my child, my offspring. He tried to kill me. He is lucky I didn't break his fucking neck especially when he threatened Midoriya."
"Dabi was better off without me," he states sounding like himself.
"Really?" I question. "He is a fucking villain and he wants revenge. He thinks I stole his damn perfect life. As far as I'm concerned, he can have all of this shit because I don't care about any of it. Growing up with you was beyond terrible."
"Terrible?" he snaps in disbelief. "I gave your ass the best of everything."
"Oh, I know," I replied. "Right along with mom's money and the ass whooping you gave me daily. Listen up old man. I did my best to develop a relationship with you. You have crossed too many lines."
"Dabi doesn't have anything to do with you!" he exclaims. "I will take care of him."
"It has everything to do me," I replied. "Dad…..I need some space. I will still work for your agency in the evening during the week but otherwise don't contact me." He glares at me and I can tell he wants to hit me. "Thank you for respecting my wishes. I'll speak to you when I'm ready." He reluctantly walks back towards the front door.
"Don't take your frustrations out on others because you are mad me," he states with his back to me as he steps out on the porch. I snort.
"Unlike you I can control myself," I reply.
"Like you did last night," he sneers. I slam the door. The League of Villains was going to not only rape but kill my damn boyfriend. They are lucky I allowed them to live. I get mad all over again as I remember Dabi jabbing at the fact that I knew I had a soft spot for Midoriya. Said he would take his time fucking him. Rape him slowly. He tried to fire his quirk at me. I snapped his fucking wrist before I bashed his face in. I walk back up the stairs heading into my room desperate to see Midoriya. He is where I left him. I release a deep breath getting back into bed.
"He's your brother…" says Midoriya almost scaring me. Usually I can tell when someone is sleep or not. Damnit I'm off… I don't know what to say. I stare at him and he almost looks dead inside. His eyes shift to me and I see them light up. My heart swells.
"Izuku," I say softly. "I will be honest with you if you are honest with me." I want to know more about his quirk. I don't want to force him to tell me. He must be ready and willing.
"Okay," he says softly. I know he will tell me….he loves me. Seeing the way his face looks I know he is ready to reveal all.
"Dabi is my half-brother," I say gently looking at him. "I didn't know this until last night." Midoriya eyes get wide.
"Ohhh…" he says.
"Yeah…" I sigh. "I'm sure you heard the conversation with my dad."
"Not on purpose," he replies. "You both started to get loud." I swallow hard because I dislike the fact, he had to hear me like that. Midoriya reaches out touching my face. "It's understandable why you did what you did." I place my hand on top of his.
"Thank you," I replied. I take his hand sitting it in my lap. "Can you tell me about your quirk?"
"My quirk allows me to store raw power," he replies. "Superman inhuman strength, speed, agility, and durability. Most of the time I am only using a small percentage of it. Using too much can drain me to the point I can perform as I would at my best." That makes a lot of sense. I never understood how his quirk worked. "That's not all. My quirk has 6 other quirks attached to my main ability. It's complicated to explain." I raise an eyebrow. Is he serious?
"The whip I saw you use," I state in shock. I have 2 quirks, I can't imagine having 6 of them. This has got to be a record.
"Yeah," says Midoriya. "That's one of them."
"Why does All For One…..want to kill you?" I ask carefully. I really wanted to ask him why is it that he is the only one who can beat him. Midoriya closes his eyes sighing.
"My quirk can defeat him," he explains.
"Defeat?" I question. "How? Quirks are handed down from parent to parent. What makes this one any different. I don't understand."
"That is correct," says Midoriya. "This quirk is from All For One sibling. He gave his brother a quirk not knowing he already had one. Sadly, he never got to take care of his brother. He found out he can pass down the quirk he had. It could go to whoever he wants. They have to be deserving of it. He didn't just give away to anybody." I stare at him realizing quickly how deadly and serious this is. What a tremendous burden to carry. "All Might almost killed All For One twice but during the second fight he didn't have his full strength….."
"Why?" I ask. "How?" I always wondered what happened to All Might. He was so strong and then one day he wasn't… Midoriya stares at me and it feels like hours pass.
"All Might gave me his power," he says softly. "I'm to become the new Symbol of Peace and end All For One if he ever gets free." My heart starts beating hard as this is a lot to take in. All Might lost his quirk because he passed it to Midoriya. Midoriya not only has to save on the level of All Might he will have to kill All For One. Oh my god. "I hope he never gets free."
"Me too….." I murmur as the information sinks in. "If All Might gave you his quirk, what quirk were you born with?" Midoriya now looks uncomfortable.
"I didn't have one…" he says his voice dropping.
"Hey, don't be ashamed," I tell him. I can see his eyes beginning to water a little.
"I wanted to be just like All Might," he says quietly. "Even when I was told I would never develop a quirk I told myself I could be a hero. Now…now I am, thanks to All Might." I squeeze his hand. He is truly wonderful. I can now see why All Might takes a huge interest in him.
"I would take you either way," I reply. I lean down towards him so he can see the truth in my words. "Quirk or not you're so special." Midoriya blushes while giving a shy smile. It takes everything in me to not kiss him. I chuckle. Let me lighten the mood a little. "Um…..I went to see my mom yesterday."
"You did!" he exclaims. I nod my head yes.
"I learned a lot," I sigh. "She um seems really nice. I promised her I would go back and visit her. It was a lot of information I was learning at once. Things I didn't know before. Like how my parents got together, how rich my grandparents were…it was a lot." Midoriya smiled.
"You look sad but happy at the same time," he replies. "Was your mom okay?"
"She's great," I reply after some thought. "She seems to be at peace with living there. I almost feel like my dad destroyed her in a sense."
"Oh…" says Midoriya. I yawn tired from the little 4 hours of sleep I had. "Sleepy?"
"Yeah," I say heavily. Midoriya scoots closer to me. He leans his forehead against mine holding my hand tightly.
"Okay," he says softly. "Let's go to sleep." I kiss his hand as he nuzzles his face into my chest. I love him so much. I will protect him at all cost.
