TODOROKI
"Yeah," I reply as my lawyer sighs.
"There isn't anything you can do as this point," he replies. "The good thing is the police knows he was of age."
"Agreed," I reply putting my hand in my head walking back and forth in my kitchen. I had no idea that Momo had a recording of us. I still wouldn't have fucked her, but I certainly would have had a nice chat with her parents. I hear my security code alerting me that someone has entered my property. I know it can only be one person. Not Midoriya, I know he is at home depressed and probably sobbing himself to sleep. Fucking Momo. I don't blame her for taking me down but Midoriya. I shake my head. "I must go." I hit the button on my phone to allow my dad in.
"Let me know if you need anything," he replies. "Keep doing what you are already doing."
"Got it," I reply ending the call as I walk towards the front door. I already informed my mom about what happened. My father…..I still haven't spoken to him since I quit. I open the front door knowing why he showed up unannounced. My dad stops his SUV getting out. "What do I owe this visit?"
"Don't be cute boy," he snaps slamming the door. "What the fuck were you thinking?" He walks up the steps heading straight into my house slamming the door. I decide to let that go. "I knew you were fucking him!"
"That is my boyfriend you're talking about," I reply. "Watch your mouth." Dad sighs as I walk in the living room I barely ever go to. I spend my time in my room or my office. I sit down as my father sits beside me.
"I'm sorry for losing my temper," he replies. "I know my son. You wouldn't sleep with a minor, put your career at risk. I worked so hard to get you to where you are. I can't believe this will be the thing that takes you out." I think carefully on what I want to say next.
"Dad, I'm dating Izuku Midoriya," I confess. "Secondly, I worked hard to get where I am, not you. Furthermore, Midoriya was a minor when we first met. He turned 18 years old a few days before we became official." My dad looks stunned.
"What?" he questions. "You slept with him willingly?"
"I didn't know he was underage," I explain. "I didn't find out until I started teaching at U.A. I cut things off immediately."
"Um…" hums dad. "I see. That video in the dorm was certainly you."
"It was," I reply. "I had a lapse in judgement."
"Can't think with your dick all the time," he sneers.
"I wasn't," I replied. "Midoriya needed me in a way you wouldn't understand."
"I believe that," he admits surprising me. "You know I haven't been emotionally connected to anyone but your mother." I roll my eyes crossing my legs.
"The women you cheated on," I point on.
"It wasn't planned," he replied. "I had needs damnit." I take a deep breath as nothing he says will every make sense. "Why is the media reporting he is underaged?"
"More interesting," I reply with a shrug. "He had a fake ID. I wouldn't have known unless I looked into his background on my own. I had no plan of getting serious with him." Dad smirks.
"When did you guys meet?" he asks.
"Doesn't matter," I reply. No way am I letting him know when we met. He will know for sure I ditched him that night to be with Midoriya. Dad chuckles.
"Look Shouto," he replies after a moment. "You are a good man. I'm really proud of you. If you need any help at all, let me know. I want to help you." Why couldn't this be the father I got my whole life. He has never offered to help me.
"I'm doing fine," I reply. "My dojo sales has dropped a little but that is too be expected. I will be fine father."
"I had to ask," he replies. "I must admit this guy seems to make you happy."
"He does," I reply.
"I hope it was worth it," states father.
"It is," I reply. I regret sleeping with Midoriya in the dorms, but I love him. He needed me in that moment as much as I needed him. I will be okay. I have no doubt in my mind Midoriya is going to be an excellent hero. It's his destiny to be great and I will be a part of that no matter what.
FOUR YEARS LATER
"I just want to say here at CNN we appreciate everything you do," say Aniko the reporter.
"Thank you," I reply holding Midoriya hand.
"Deku, you career has been exploding in the past year," she smiles.
"I'm just doing what I love," he replies.
"Crime has decreased a staggering 53% and continue to increase," Aniko exclaims. "I almost have no words for this. I almost don't feel inclined to lock my door at night, just kidding." We chuckle at her small joke. "Now I know you haven't done this alone you have your husband Todoroki Shouto fighting by your side."
"He's amazing!" exclaims Midoriya grinning like crazy. "He is such an amazing support system. It's nice to be with someone who truly gets me. Understand my need to save lives, ensure everyone is safe."
"I'm surprised you two aren't worried about each other," she states. "Being in the line of duty can be so dangerous."
"I trust him, and he trust me," I reply. "We have faith in each other while saving lives and fighting crime."
"It shows," says Aniko smiling. "How do you all feel about being dubbed TodoDeku." I personally find it annoying but cute at the same time. I'm not going to tell her that though.
"We don't mind at all," replies Midoriya. "We appreciate each person who supports us."
"Yes," says Aniko. "The beginning of your relationship was controversial was it not." I was waiting for this to come up. Every interviewer tries to dig about our controversial student teacher relationship. It was worse when we got married 2 weeks after he graduated. Midoriya asked me and I wasn't going to say no. We wanted to keep the marriage quiet but sadly someone sold a copy of our marriage license to TMZ. I wish I could have given that person a piece of my mind! The courthouse greatly apologized and narrowed down who sold the information. They were fired but that wasn't good enough for me. I wanted them to feel my wrath.
"We don't speak on that," I say as nicely as I can. Midoriya squeezes my hand.
"Aniko, we usually don't speak on the beginning of our relationship," says Midoriya. I trust Midoriya as he has interview training. "It was controversial, still is for some. If I could do everything over, I would do things differently." Midoriya still feels terrible about what happened. It did affect my hero work for a little while. My business and investments didn't suffer too much. Views changed by 63% when revealed that Midoriya was of age. He just happened to go to the school I taught at.
"Everyone can clearly see you two are in love," she replies. "I know a lot of people were disappointed when Shouto was taken off the market." I had so many pissed off hookups. They called me whining and crying. I only saw them once, once! I'm so glad I had them all sign a nondisclosure agreement. Midoriya never signed papers and respected me more than these grown ass people. Granted we were in a relationship he never betrayed me. Not even when I broke his heart. Midoriya chuckles.
"I'm very lucky," he replies.
"Deku did you really help him with the dojo?" asked Aniko.
"I have been every single opening, but the dojo was all Shouto," he replies. I have opened another location in Japan, one in China, and one in the states. Aniko nods.
"I have been to one location," Ankio says. "It's beautiful. Doesn't feel like a dojo at times. More like a place to distress." I smile feeling proud.
"Thank you," I reply.
"Are you planning to open more locations?" she asks.
"I would like to open one in Germany, another in the states and Japan," I reply. The rest of the interview is uneventful. I like that she asked about our hobbies. Midoriya is in the process of building an activity center that will have therapy for teens to speak to. He struggled before getting his quirk then the breakups he experienced he felt like he had no one to talk to. I think it is a wonderful idea. The center welcomes all teens quirk or not. We will be opening the center in Japan. Midoriya and I exit the studio quickly getting into the SUV. Our driver is taking us back to the hotel.
"That wasn't so bad," replies Midoriya. "She is as nice as everyone says."
"Um hm," I hum. "Is that why you spoke on the beginning of our relationship." Midoriya nods.
"She wasn't rude like everyone else," he replies. "She was willing to hear our story. I didn't want to tell too much. You know how the media likes to twist your words." His phone rings and he answers it. "Kacchan, what's up?" he chuckles. "You saw that huh?" I was surprised when I found out Bakugou knew about our relationship and never said a word. I was so thankful I put in a word for him at the number 1 agency. Kirishima worked for my dad his first year but left because well it's my dad, he's annoying. "I was honored she brought up my degree in Psychology. It was hard as hell going to school and being the Symbol of Peace."
That's my husband always wanting to help people. He is really good too. He can now read people even better than me. I glance at my phone seeing my father sent me a text message.
Dad: Will you and Midoriya be coming by my home? I would love to see you both.
Todoroki: I will if we have time. Midoriya must meet with the planner for the center and go by the dojo.
Midoriya and I do live in Europe as we planned. We moved there after 1 year as the press was still digging in our relationship. For the fact he was an upcoming hero made things worse. The press wanted to know everything about him.
"No," says Midoriya into the phone. "I'm not being petty. I have nothing to say to her, but I am more than willing to see Jirou." Midoriya has forgiven Momo but he doesn't trust her. There was an incident at Starbucks his first year at college. He ran into her and literally tried to beat her ass. Let me explain further, he tried being nice speaking to Momo but she was still feeling some kind of way about us being together. She said something about wishing I was in jail and she hoped Midoriya would never be successful. That is when Midoriya snapped almost hitting her in the face before Kirishima stopped him. Lucky for me he was there to stop him.
"She's dating Jirou," I reply. Midoriya glares at me. "Maybe you could be more welcoming to her."
"I don't care," he replies. "I need more time." Midoriya turns his attention back to the phone. "Fuck you Kacchan, I'm always forgiving but that seriously crossed a line." Had Momo not released the video I think he would be more forgiving. That video ended up on porn sites and then some. I try to keep the video from resurfacing but it's the internet, once it is there, it is there forever. "My schedule is busy. We are only in town for 3 days. I have to see my parents and All Might. We will let you know if we can meet up. Tell Kirishima I said hi." Midoriya ends the call sighing. I grab his hand.
"It's okay love," I tell him softly. Midoriya lays his head on my shoulder as we continue on our drive.
"Can we go to Fiji?" he asks. "I want to go for two weeks. Just you, me, beautiful water…"
"When?" I ask ready to send my travel agent the information.
"Let's do it for the next two weeks," he replies. I email the travel agent from my phone.
"Done," I reply. "You tired?" He nods his head yes. He is busier than me. "You can slow down now. You have been doing a great job at being a hero."
"Not yet," he replies. "I need my presence to be known. I will never slow down well maybe when we have a family. Otherwise I will be out there taking care of things." I kiss the top of his head. He wants to start a family when he is 35. I'm not so sure about that but I will support him. I want kids when he is 32. It's a 3 year difference but a big deal for him. He rubs his face into my shoulder as he laces his fingers with my mine. "Love you."
"Love you too," I reply.
