THIRD YEAR
I noticed more and more often Todoroki was staying with me. Mostly during winter break, spring break or anytime we don't have school. I kind of enjoy our time together showing him how to be a normal teenager. I noticed though he stopped hanging out with me as much the pass couple of months. It hurt my feelings a little, but I know Todoroki is dealing with a lot. I'm so glad that school is almost done. My last spring break at U.A. Soon we will be free to be heroes.
I am holding on to my backpack straps as I almost reach the house. Glad that it is spring break so I can fully relax. I don't have an internship at the moment so no hero work to be done. I wonder what should I do this weekend. I blink feeling the raindrop on my nose. I glance up at the sky that doesn't have a single cloud but decides to cry anyway. I begin to run the rest of the way home to get out of the rain. I get to the apartment building still ended up soaked by the raindrops despite my efforts. I roll my eyes making my way to the elevator to head up to our floor. I walk into the door seeing my mom getting ready to head out.
"Awww, it started raining," she replies.
"Yeah," I reply. "I was almost home too."
"Um hm," she giggles. "Looks like you walked the whole way in the rain." I smile at my mom.
"I tried to get here quick, but I didn't want to fall either," I replied. My mom works the night shift at a homeless shelter making sure the residents have everything they need. She also likes to walk around making sure there is nothing crazy going on. Anyone breaking the rules by using their quirks inappropriately gets removed.
"We don't need you getting hurt," says my mom. She still tears up from time to time seeing all the scars on my arms and chest from me not being able to control my quirk. I can't use it on my arms anymore, so I mostly focus on using it with my legs. Has worked out pretty good if you ask me. Dare say I look a little cooler than All Might when fighting at times. "I cooked you something to eat for later on."
"You didn't have to do that mom," I reply. "I'm suppose to be learning to cook my own meals."
"I know, I know," she coos. "I wanted you to have something nice and healthy to eat. Cheese burgers are not what I call a meal." I chuckle. I mostly cook ramen noodles and cheeseburgers. "Good head and hop in the shower before you catch a cold. I will most likely be gone when you get out. Hopefully sometime later this week we can spend some time together." She walks over kissing my forehead before I return to my room. I remove my wet clothes looking at myself in the mirror. I have managed to maintain my lean frame although I am a little bit taller. I only stand at 5'9 but I'll take it. My freckles are still my most popular feature along with my green curls. At least I'm not being made fun of anymore.
I take a quick shower getting dressed in some comfortable clothes for my evening of relaxation. I head into the kitchen seeing mom made Salisbury steak with a rich gravy, string beans, and sliced potatoes with cheese on top. I smile knowing I would have never gotten that complicated with my meal. I fix my plate when I hear the door. I sit my plate on the counter walking to look through the peep hole. I see Todoroki standing there looking off to the side. I open the door with my towel still around my neck as my hair is still drying.
"Hey," I greet. Todoroki glares at me. His face is serious as always. He is taller than me at 6 feet even. He has gotten a little larger with his muscles but considering how his dad is I don't blame him. I think he is getting to the point where he can actually beat his dad but he does everything in his power to not fight him.
"Hi," he replies. "Is it okay if I stay the night?" Always so direct.
"Yeah," I reply stepping aside. "I know how your dad is." I have long figured out his father abuses him. Training my ass. Todoroki walks inside the apartment. "My mom cooked dinner if you need anything to eat."
"I'm fine," he replied. "I stopped off to get something to eat before coming here."
"Cool," I reply. "We can hang out in my room, let me grab my plate." I walk into the kitchen pouring myself a glass of juice before grabbing my plate and heading into my room. Todoroki closes my door and then do I really take in how damp his clothes are. "Did you need to wash up and a change of clothes?"
"That would be nice," he replies. Todoroki can fit my pants but they stop at his ankles, my shirts don't fit him at all now. I sit my plate down once more getting Todoroki some linens and some pants.
"Here you go," I reply handing him the items. "You know what to do." Todoroki nods heading out of my room. I turn on my TV that is in the corner of my room making my way over to my plate. My food is not cold yet, awesome. I begin to eat as I flip through the channels finding something to settle on. I have finished eating by the time Todoroki makes his way back into my room. He is towel drying his hair. I can't help it as my eyes trace over his upper torso. I shift my eyes away blushing slightly.
"What the hell are you watching?" he asked.
"Oh…I'm not really watching this," I reply. "It's just background noise." I happen to stop on the music channel. They are counting down the most requested videos or something. "You can turn it to whatever you want." Todoroki nods taking the remote while his other as he is still drying his hair. He stops so he can focus on the TV. I'm surprised to see he decided on a movie.
"This is more like it," he smirks. He sits down on my bed beside me.
"Glad you found something you like," I note. "Are you ready for graduation?"
"I'm so ready," he replies. "I actually moving into an apartment with Bakugou and Kirishima in August, I can't wait."
"Really?" I question. I had no idea they were getting a place together. I'm a little jealous that no one has asked me if I wanted to be their roommate. For now, I plan to stay at home with my parents.
"Yeah," he replies. "Yoarashi wanted me to move in with him but yeah I'm not doing that."
"Why not?" I ask. "I mean I thought you guys were getting along. You were going over to his house a lot this past year." I try to keep the bitterness out of my voice. I miss having him over so often.
"Things change," says Todoroki in a tone that has me not wanting to ask any more questions. "Can I have some tea?" I nod yes standing up heading into the kitchen. As I fix his tea I wonder did he have some kind of falling out with Yoarashi. There is no telling unless I ask the guy myself. There are just some things Todoroki won't discuss with me. I have long ago accepted that. I personally feel like we are best friends, but he still needs to let me in. I head back into the room with his tea for him. He happily takes the tea taking a sip after blowing on it. "You are the only person who can make my tea right I swear," I smile knowing this. He can be rather picky when it comes to his tea. Most people like to remove the teabag but Todoroki likes the tea bag to simmer as he drinks the tea. I learned that back our first year when he started to come over more often.
I set back pulling out my iPad looking at some stuff online while Todoroki is watching TV. It is not until around 10:45 the lights go out with the rain falling harder outside followed by thunder and lighting.
"Guess it's bedtime then," sighs Todoroki. My internet disconnected from my iPad. I roll my eyes wanting to really stay up until 1am since I don't have school or an internship. It's rare I can stay up this late. Talk about a buzz kill. "You look disappointed?"
"You can actually see?" I ask.
"Yeah," chuckles Todoroki. I can feel him moving beside me. The lighting flashes allow me to see Todoroki staring at me intensely it almost scares me. I lay down as Todoroki gets comfortable beside me. "We can talk if you are not ready to go to sleep."
"Talk about what?" I ask. It's weird to hear him say this. I mean he talks but only about but so much.
"Anything," says Todoroki. "That should make things more interesting." I chuckle because it's like he read my mind. I want Todoroki to trust me. We are best friends after all. I want him to be able to confide in me.
"Um okay," I reply. "What really happened between you and Yoarashi? I mean I feel like you dropped me to hang out with him all the time." This time I didn't keep the bitterness out of my voice.
"Sorry," apologizes Todoroki. "That is not what I wanted to do. I honestly made the mistake of having sex with him."
"What!" I exclaim. My heart is beating hard in my chest. Todoroki…Todoroki is gay? "Um….um so….um…like….."
"Relax," says Todoroki. "I haven't met anyone I felt like was on my level. With Yoarashi it was suppose to be just sex but he wanted more." I stare at Todoroki although I can't see him in the dark. My feelings are hurt a little. Did he not see me as a good boyfriend? What am I saying? I blush covering my face. Todoroki barely even sees me as a best friend. "What about you? What happened with you and Uraraka?"
"Oh that…" I replied. I sigh before continuing. "I really liked her but as like a sister. I still feel bad about that because she really liked me." Todoroki snorts.
"You mean love," he replies. "Everyone can see she is in love with you or was. You guys dated for a while."
"Well yeah…" I replied. "I was waiting for the love to blossom between us but for me it never did."
"Interesting," says Todoroki. "Did you have sex with her?"
"Todoroki!" I exclaim covering my face once more. We did have sex. I thought being that intimate would bring us closer together. It did but not in the way Uraraka hoped.
"Nothing to be embarrassed about," he replies. "I told you about myself."
"I know…" I mutter. Does that mean he lost his virginity to Yoarashi? I have so many questions. "Like how is it? You know…with a guy?" Todoroki chuckles much to my surprise.
"It's no different from being with a girl," he replies. "Just a lot more preparation."
"Preparation?" I ask confused.
"Yeah," he replies. "We guys don't have that self-lubrication like the girls do. I'm very firm in ensuring everything is clean before doing a damn thing." The vision clouds my mind with the thought of Todoroki being taken. Todoroki laughs. "You're thinking about it aren't you?"
"Uh….umm…." I stammer with my cheeks getting hot. His laughter dies off.
"It's okay," replied Todoroki. "It's a natural response I guess….are you interested in being with guys?"
"Um…..uh…" I stutter. I have to calm down and remind myself this is just Todoroki. This is what I have been wanting, for him to open up to me. "I think about it sometimes…"
"I would have never guessed that," says Todoroki. "Think about anyone in particular?" I blush harder because he is the only guy I ever think about being with. I always brushed the feelings off thinking it was just because we are close friends. He is the only guy I have seen naked more than anyone. The only guy who can make me feel stimulated. Maybe that isn't really the case. I feel Todoroki hand grab mine. "You can tell me you know. I won't make fun of you. I just want to….I don't know help you out. It can be hard figuring those feelings out."
I swallow hard. How can I tell him? I mean what if he thinks I'm full shit and I am just saying this because now I know he likes guys. I don't think anything I can say will be good enough. I strain my eyes in the dark making out enough of Todoroki's face. I lean forward to kiss his lips but of course I miss kissing his cheek instead. I can't stop now. or I will look like an idiot. I continue to softly kiss his cheek not stopping until I hear a moan.
"Haaa….." mutters Todoroki. It was low but I heard him. I pull away from Todoroki as the lights come back on. The TV is once again providing light in my room as it was before everything shut off. I can see him staring back at me with his cheeks redder than anything I have ever seen before. He slowly leans towards me. I close the gasp kissing Todoroki softly. "Ahhh…" I slide my hand into his hair pleased with his voice moaning in approval.
"Mmpphh….." I groan into his mouth. I didn't expect this to feel so good. All we are doing is kissing. Todoroki parts his lips a little as he continues to kiss me. It feels like he is giving me a sign he wants more. I run my tongue against his bottom lip.
"Haa….haaa…" he gasps. I slide my tongue softly between his lips. I massage his hair as his warm tongue rubs against mine. "Ohhh…..ahhhh…." My eyes flutter behind my closed lids hearing his voice in such pleasure.
"Todoroki….."I mutter. I am so hard right now. This feels so good. It's so different from anything I felt before. I lean further into the kiss astonishingly Todoroki lets me. Todoroki groans wrapping his arms around my neck pulling me between his legs.
