MIDORIYA
I'm sitting in bed enjoying my stay with Todoroki. My heat just ended and I'm still adjusting to being bonded, it actually feels good, really good, almost addicting. I love feeling him throughout my body and mind all the time. Now I don't have to guess how he is feeling about anything although he is always an honest person when it comes to everything. I hear him enter the apartment. He went out to get us lunch from our favorite ramen place. He had a craving it to sum things up or maybe I was, hard to say. I can smell him before he even gets to the room.
"I come bearing food," he says holding up the bag. I sit up in bed still naked. I'm under the blankets still comfy from the bath he gave me. He made me feel so special. The way he not only washed me but massaged my aching muscles. "Is your strength returning?"
"Yeah," I replied. "I'm starting to feel normal again." He gets everything set up handing me my tray and bowl, so cool how he has this set up. "So uh you had a lot of people stay over?" I can feel his disgust. "Sorry I mean you have two trays?"
"It's okay," he replied sitting beside me with his own tray. "I figured one day I would have someone to share my life with. I just didn't know when. I actually kind of gave up and figured I would just be alone." That is so sad. Todoroki is a wonderful alpha, I'm glad he is my alpha. Todoroki blushes feeling my emotions and I chuckle before clearing my throat.
"What did you do for your ruts?" I asked curiously.
"I got put under," he says with a shrug. "I tried mating and I hated it to the core. I would rather sleep the whole time."
"Mirio hates being put under," I say without thinking. I feel bad for even bringing him up.
"You can talk about Mirio," says Todoroki. "I know I'm your alpha and you have no feelings for him at all." I nod in agreement because I don't. Nothing goes past friendship to me, very meaningful friendship. I was willing to try a relationship with Mirio but once I felt what it was like to be with Todoroki, my fated mate. Nothing will compare to that kind of love.
"I will need to see him though," I state.
"Why?" asked Todoroki not liking the idea. I know he doesn't have a problem with Mirio but the inner alpha doesn't feel the same way.
"He went into a rut when I went into my heat," I explain. "As you can imagine he found out I have a fated partner and he just lost it. They had to actually put him under."
"Oh," says Todoroki. "He probably couldn't help it. That is why I would rather be under. I'm afraid to know how I would act during a rut."
"We will find out won't we," I say looking at him. "You have your omega now, no need to be put under." Todoroki is trying to hide a smile as he begins to focus on his food. I felt a slight lust within him as he did think about mating me during his rut. My inner omega purrs and I shake the thoughts from my mind.
We eat and watch the news to see what we missed the past couple of days. Nothing too bad, there are a lot of heroes out there so I'm sure everything will be in control. Although my power can be used in a lot of different ways so I'm glad I was not needed during that time. Once I'm full I stretch sliding to the edge of the bed. I walk over to Todoroki draws grabbing some comfy pants and a long sleeve tee to wear. I turn to look at him when I feel his pride in me wearing his clothes. He starts blushing looking away from my watchful eyes. I can't help but giggle to myself because it's too cute. "Do you mind taking me home?" I asked. "I do have to get back to the real world."
"Okay," he replies. "I'm almost done here." Todoroki goes back to finishing his meal while I grab my phone checking it for messages. I got some from mom, Iida, Mirio, I immediately open up Mirio's message. I have to know that he is okay.
Mirio: I'm so sorry for how things went a few days ago. It was like I was watching someone else and could do nothing to stop it. Can we talk, please?
He sent me this message earlier today. That means he must be out of the hospital.
Midoriya: Of course we can talk. Are you able to swing by my apartment?
He responds so fast I wonder did he have his phone in his hand.
Mirio: Yes!
Always so enthusiastic no matter what. It's one of the things I like about him.
Midoriya: Alright, I will see you in 20.
I set my phone back down wondering what more could he talk about. I certainly don't feel like discussing the half bonded issue. He doesn't need to know the full story as it will make him feel worse and I don't want to do that.
"Everything okay?" asked Todoroki. I'm sure he could feel my discomfort.
"Yeah," I reply before walking into the living room. I slide on my shoes glad to be able to do things myself again. Todoroki is right behind me putting on his shoes.
"It's going to be strange not having you here," he admits. "I've kind of gotten use to you being here."
"I was only here for 4 days," I reply with a laugh as I put on my coat. Todoroki puts on his coat and we're out the door. I would respond to Iida message but no point since I will see him later today. The ride to my apartment is pretty short. I get out the car and Todoroki is right behind me. He reaches out grabbing my hand, I can't stop the smile that appears on my face. We step on the evaluator and I'm trying to focus my mind. Todoroki makes that harder to do when he leans in kissing the side of my neck over my healing bite mark.
"I love that simple things please you," he whispers causing me to blush. We arrive at my floor and I'm ready to mate him again. I for sure thought that was going to die down after we bonded but seems to not be the case. I get to the door sliding the key in unlocking the door. I open it with Todoroki behind me holding my waist. I giggle knowing we are going to mate when I should be getting things in order. I look into the living room and see Mirio with Iida. Shit, I forgot Mirio was meeting me here.
"Uh hey," I greet. Todoroki steps to the right standing beside me with his hand moving to my lower back.
"You're on time," smiles Mirio standing up walking over to me. "Todoroki, nice to see you again." Todoroki just nods and I feel that he is on edge. He doesn't trust Mirio but he is not verbally saying so.
"How are you feeling?" asked Iida.
"Normal," I replied taking off my coat. "Todoroki, can you wait in my room while I speak with Mirio.
"Sure," he replies. "I'm going to grab some water." He looks so calm it is interesting to feel him freaking out about this.
"Mirio, I will be right back okay," I tell him.
"I know you need to get settled in," says Mirio walking back to our living room. He sits down while Iida comes closer to me.
"I hope you don't mind me letting him in," he whispers.
"Of course not," I reply. "Mirio is my friend, I'll be right back." I head into my room and it looks just as crazy as I left it. I open a window as Todoroki comes into my room.
"Smells like vomit," he notes looking around.
"Well, I did do a lot of that the last time I was in here," I explain. "God it is going to take forever to get that smell out of here." I walk up to him grabbing the sides of his face. "Mirio won't hurt me," I leaned up kissing him. Todoroki uses his free hand to wrap around my waist pulling me closer. I groan into the kiss not wanting to leave his arms.
"I sense anything wrong I will be out there," he says against my lips. "Just know that."
"Okay," I reply. Todoroki pulls out of the kiss leaning down scenting my neck. I don't need it but it's more so to give himself a peace of mind. I whimper trying to stay focused on my talk for Mirio but Todoroki scenting me is making me weak in the knees. Todoroki finally pulls away looking at me as I pant a little. He growls and I know it is because he can scent my lust, see it on my face. "I won't go out until I calm down." Todoroki nods liking my response. Once I'm good I head out in the living room to see Mirio sitting on the sofa staring out the window. "How are you doing Mirio?" I sit down on the love seat opposite of him.
"I'm hanging in there," he says turning to look at me with a smile. "I'm struggling as I still have those drugs in my system."
"Oh," I reply. "Sorry, you had to go through that. We could have spoken another time."
"It's okay, really," he says. "I was out of control." He looks at me seriously. "I wanted to say I'm sorry for mating you while you were sick. I felt like such an….asshole for doing that."
"You were in a rut," I explain. "Your alpha is just as aggressive as you told me. I know you would not mate me knowing how I bad I felt." We both laugh nervously. I can see the hurt flash in Mirio eyes.
"You're bonded," he states.
"Yes," I reply subconsciously touching over the bite mark. "I didn't have a choice in the matter. You know how I feel about being bonded. That hasn't changed." Mirio nods.
"I still need to understand how this whole half bonding thing truly happened," he replied. "I know there was a lot you didn't tell me. I need to know so I can let this go peacefully." I sigh as it is hard for me to talk about still.
"Promise me no matter what you won't get mad or blame yourself," I tell him.
"I promise," says Mirio too quick for my liking but I continue anyway.
"At Kaminair's party, 3 men tried to rape me," I explain. "They drugged my drink, I have no idea how because I kept my eye on my cup the whole time. Maybe one of them used a quirk of some kind. I don't really know. I went to go use the restroom one of them grabbed me into a room. Used his quirk making me unable to use my muscles. The bastard allowed me to still use my eyes but that was about it." Mirio face is dropping with each word I speak. "They forced me to take a heat inducer so I could enjoy it." I shiver at the thought of that. "Todoroki saved me before they go do any real damage. He took me out of the building knowing a lot of alphas was at the party in fear of my safety." Mirio buries his face in his hands.
"You were almost raped and you didn't tell me!" he exclaims.
"I knew you would feel like it was your fault and it wasn't your fault!" I counter. I wipe my hands on the sweats I'm wearing.
"So Todoroki is your fated mate?" he asked. I nod yes causing Mirio to sigh.
"We can still be friends," I tell him. "I'm still me…."
"You know I wanted more than that," says Mirio sadly standing up. "I believed you were my omega and then this happened…."
"I didn't ask for this," I say standing up.
"I know," he says slowly smiling. "So did you press charges against those guys?"
"I still need to go to the station," I admit. "I have been going through a lot I haven't gotten around to it."
"Izuku…," says Mirio.
"I will do it," I reply. "Now that I know what my issue is." Mirio nods satisfied with my answer. I walk with him to the door. He grabs his coat putting it on before turning to face me.
"You know I love you right," he says looking at me. My stomach drops as I just stare at him. "I'm not sure if you ever loved me but I love you. Knowing I no longer have the chance at loving you….it hurts me."
"Mirio…,"I mutter. He grabs my face forcing me to look at him.
"I'm going to miss you," he says softly. He kisses my cheek. "You can have the food I purchased by the way. I'll see you around." Mirio heads out not giving me a chance to say anything else. Soon as the door closes I scent Todoroki entering the room. He grabs my hand turning me to face him. I know I must look as sad as I feel. Todoroki doesn't say anything as he leads me to my room closing the door.
"I'm sorry," says Todoroki. "I know it may seem like I'm not but I am. Neither of us asked for this."
"Yeah…"I sigh.
"Did him being in love with you change things?" asked Todoroki. I can sense he is very worried about my answer.
"No," I reply. "It just makes me feel bad. I know he wanted to date and bond me, for some strange reason love never even crossed my mind. I didn't want to break his heart like that."
"It's a part of life," says Todoroki looking at me. "It can happen." He grabs my chin tilting my face. "I, however, don't appreciate him kissing you." I begin to blush.
