Letters From A Fan
Chapter 2
It had been almost a week since Todoroki had let Bakugo carry Midoriya out of the hospital, and he'd yet to see the boy at any of the recent villain attacks throughout the city. He knew that wasn't abnormal; Izuku was probably at home nursing his many injuries.
But Shoto still couldn't help but feel worried about him and angry at himself. He'd followed protocol and done what everyone asked him to do, even when Midoriya had practically begged to be let go; the boy knew that Bakugo would be pissed to find him there and he hadn't listened.
Todoroki wouldn't dare call Bakugo out on what appeared to be an abusive relationship with Izuku without proof though. Most of the world believed that Heroes could do no wrong, especially those in the top ten. But he knew better and was one of a few that had personal experience with how untrue that sentiment was.
Endeavor still reigned as the Number 1 Hero after All Might's retirement/passing and despite how citizens praised him for his heroics, the man was the exact opposite to those that knew him in his private life. Todoroki was painfully aware that Midoriya would be slandered if he said anything detrimental about Ground Zero, no matter how true it was.
Still, he couldn't let Izuku suffer if what he suspected turned out to be true. Bakugo was naturally violent and had been since they'd first met back in UA. He wouldn't exactly put it past the young hero to smack his 'boyfriend' around, especially since he got a special kick out of hitting people that couldn't fight back.
Tonight though, Shoto had a chance to actually ask Bakugo about what he'd seen without the press right next to them or villains attacking. Every year Tokyo held a 'Heroes Gala' that the top Pro's were required to attend. It was a big deal, all the best current and still living retired heroes would show up in fancy attire to share war stories and gripe about the faults in the system.
Everyone also showed up with a date; even he was taking Momo as a purely platonic partner. If Todoroki was lucky, Bakugo would bring his 'kind-of boyfriend' Midoriya along with him. He went over what he knew about the boy in his mind as he got dressed so that he could press Katsuki if needed.
From what he'd found out through research, Izuku Midoriya was a twenty-one-year-old quirkless boy who always showed up at villain attacks to spectate. He was injured frequently enough to have caught the attention of police and some Heroes due to his tendency to get near villains before Pros arrived on the scene. He was also apparently dating Katsuki Bakugo, or Ground Zero and his behavior screamed problematic.
Shoto huffed and sat down. He wondered if some of the boy's injuries were in fact not caused by villains at all and were instead a result of domestic abuse. But he supposed with how often Midoriya was at villain scenes it wasn't far fetched to think his injuries really were caused by his own total lack of flight response.
Still, he couldn't let someone get pushed around in such a cowardly way if he could stop it. He wasn't a child anymore that didn't have the strength to push back.
A knock at his front door caught Todoroki's attention, pulling him out of his Midoriya-centric thoughts. He took a deep breath once more, readying himself for what was likely going to be an extremely unpleasant evening.
Todoroki walked around with Momo as they mingled with the other Pro's. This was the first year almost all of their classmates had received an invitation, but the dual user wasn't much of one for conversation even with people he knew. He was grateful that his 'date' did most of the talking for him.
His heterochromatic eyes searched the area for familiar shouting, doing his best to find the blonde so that he could pull him aside. It was a lot harder to recognize people without their signature hero garb on, even the explosive boy.
Finally, he found Bakugo, only the blonde didn't have Midoriya with him. Instead, he had some random girl hovering around. Shoto excused himself from the small group he was in to head over, his blood pumping roughly in his ears.
"Bakugo." He called, getting the mans attention. There was an instant tension between them that caused all of the BakuSquad and their dates to hold their breath in anticipation.
"What the fuck do you want, Icy-Hot?" Katsuki growled, narrowing his eyes dangerously.
"I'd like to speak with you… privately." Shoto answered, nodding his head to a less populated part of the ballroom. He was a little surprised when the blonde 'tsked' and followed him without a fight, but grateful all the same.
"Alright. We're fucking alone so what do you want?" Bakugo growled.
"Midoriya said that you were 'kind of' his boyfriend and yet you bring some woman here with you?" Todoroki asked, flickering his eyes back to the girl that was laughing far too loudly at something one of the other Pro's had said.
"AHH? What the fuck is it to you who I bring as my date? Besides, that little fuck had no right to tell you our business. So just butt out!"
"I'm concerned about the behavior he showed when I said I was going to stay and meet you. Why was he was so afraid at the hospital?" Shoto pushed, deciding to get straight to the point. He almost immediately regretted it when the unhinged anger blew up in the blonde's face.
"Fuck you. He's always been a skittish little punk and he knows I hate you." Katsuki growled, puffing himself up and getting right in the dual users face.
Todoroki didn't back down though and held the livid heroes gaze boldly. His quirk was already starting to react, his breath coming out in a puff of steam. "I think he was acting a little bit more unsettled than just 'skittish', Bakugo."
"And what the fuck is that supposed to mean? What are you trying to say?" Katsuki hissed. He let off a few warning sparks from his hands, just a moment away from sending a full-blown blast at the dual user.
Before Todoroki could answer, the BakuSquad and other heroes that had noticed their increasing agitation stepped in and pulled them away from each other. But they continued their glaring match from across the room afterward.
Shoto made sure that Katsuki knew this wasn't over.
Todoroki was back at work the following Monday, still seething from his near fight with Bakugo over the weekend. He walked down the streets briskly, his usually blank demeanor shifted ever so slightly to one of general irritation.
Even the overzealous fans kept their distance from him today, able to feel the cold emanating off him from across the street. He was about to take his lunch break when he noticed a familiar green mop of hair trailing around the corner.
"Midoriya!" he called, jogging over to the man before he even realized he'd moved.
Izuku turned back to him and flashed a nervous smile, keeping his eyes low. "Oh…hey…"
Todoroki instantly felt the small embers of annoyance quickly fanned into full-blown anger. There was a large bruise on Midoriya's cheek, reaching all the way up to his eye with small burn marks sprinkled in. He grabbed the boys chin and held it firmly, leaning in close to examine the shiner.
Izuku yanked his face away, blushing furiously. "Is there something you wanted, Todoroki?"
"Did Bakugo do that to you?"
Midoriya's red face drained of all its color, green eyes darting around nervously to see who was around. "I… I'm on my lunch break and I need to go now, so… uhm… It was nice seeing you again! Bye!"
Todoroki caught the boys arm next, halting his retreat easily. He could feel strong muscles under his fingers, subconsciously noting that Izuku was much more fit than his small frame suggested. Consciously, however, he was much more focused on how nervous the man had become.
"What a coincidence; I'm on my break as well. We can go somewhere together… my treat." Shoto stated, keeping his grip and tugging Izuku along to the nearest diner.
They sat in silence after ordering, Midoriya hunched down and picking at the cast on his arm while Todoroki stared at him pointedly. It didn't take long for the smaller man to start cracking under the intense gaze.
"Okay… Look. I know how this is going to sound, but he really didn't mean it! As I'm sure the police have told you, I'm a real handful sometimes and Kacchan has to put up with so much throughout the day that it only makes it worse when he has to come home to me being insufferable. Besides! It's not like he would ever really hurt me! It was one punch and I got in his face and dared him to…" Izuku explained.
"That doesn't make it right, Midoriya. He can't just hit someone because they upset him, especially not someone-"
"Especially not someone who is quirkless?" Izuku interrupted, scoffing lightly.
"No. I was going to say someone who seems to be as kind as you. You don't deserve it, no matter how big of pain you think you are."
Midoriya gave a humorless chuckle as he broke his chopsticks using his good hand and his teeth, rolling his eyes at the dual user. The atmosphere between them became even more tense then, but this time Izuku didn't appear to be flustered anymore.
"Why do you put yourself in situations that are dangerous when you know you have no way to defend yourself?" Todoroki finally asked, genuinely curious. He couldn't understand a lot of things about the strange fanboy.
"Being quirkless isn't synonymous with being weak. Besides, I'm not breaking any laws by spectating… lots of other people do it and you don't drag them into a diner. And a lot of people have quirks that aren't beneficial for anything." Midoriya explained.
"I'm not saying that you are weak or that you can't be a productive member of society without a quirk. I'm merely concerned about your wellbeing and are suggesting that you find a less dangerous pastime."
Izuku chewed his food slowly, eyeing Shoto. "Thank you… but I like to watch Kacchan work when I can and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon."
Todoroki could see the resolve on the boy's face, knowing that he was determined to do what he wanted no matter what. It made him even more curious to know why such a strong-willed person would be in a relationship with Ground Zero. "You weren't at the Heroes Gala with Bakugo. I thought you said you were his boyfriend…"
Midoriya cleared his throat nervously, shifting slightly in his seat. "I… I said he was kind of my boyfriend… We aren't actually dating or anything. He just lets me live with him and we do…stuff…"
Todoroki wanted to rub his temples in frustration. "Are you saying that you have sex with Bakugo in exchange for a place to live? You do realize that's a form of prostitution and is illegal, don't you?"
"It's not like that! Kacchan and I rented an apartment together right after high school but he makes so much more money than me, you know? He… He wanted a nicer place and once he could afford it he said I could come with him. I don't pay rent, but that's only because he makes so much money it isn't necessary! Kacchan takes care of me and I've always loved him so it just made sense for us to get erm… physical." Midoriya explained.
Shoto watched with barely contained irritation as the mossy-haired boy's eyes stayed low and he flailed around. He believed that Izuku was devoted to Bakugo, but he didn't think that the blonde returned those intense feelings.
Midoriya noticed and rubbed the back of his head nervously, lowering his eyes once again. "Look… I've known Kacchan since we were children. We even went to school together until he got into UA. I'm not blind to how cruel he can be and I know from your perspective our relationship looks bad… But you really don't need to worry about me. Anyway, I need to go back to work now, so…"
"Alright Midoriya, I'll let you go for now; but I want you to take my number. You can call me at any time, day or night and I will come to help you." Todoroki conceited, realizing that the man was quickly shutting down and wouldn't listen right then.
Izuku smiled brightly, his cheeks flaming red as he gingerly took the business card.
Midoriya opened the door to his shared home with Bakugo, still reeling from his lunch with Todoroki. He rubbed his face, desperately wanting a hot shower and a calm night in watching movies and munching on popcorn.
"Oi Deku! Get your ass in here!" Katsuki shouted from upstairs.
Izuku suppressed a sigh and climbed the stairs slowly, heading to his room obediently. It was always his bedroom when Bakugo wanted to blow off steam, never the blondes. Usually, he didn't mind letting Katsuki fuck him and then leave, but tonight he just wasn't feeling it.
"Kacchan… I'm really tired and my arm still hurts…" he whined as he awkwardly slipped out of his jacket.
"You don't need your arm to suck my dick, dumbass."
Midoriya's face flushed, noticing that the blonde was unbuckling his pants and staring him expectantly. He opened his mouth to give another weak protest, but Bakugo moved in front of him and pressed him back into the wall.
"Don't test me tonight, Deku," Katsuki growled, leaning forward to get right in the boys face. He nipped at Midoriya's trembling lower lip before kissing him roughly, tugging his hair at the same time. He pulled back just enough to see the glazed over look on the smaller man's face, smirking.
Bakugo flipped their positions, resting his back against the wall while keeping his hold on Izuku's hair. "You know I care about you… show me how much you care about me." He cooed, boring his red eyes into the smaller male intensely.
Midoriya lowered himself to his knees, wanting nothing more than to prove his continued adoration to the boy he'd loved for so long. He fumbled slightly without being able to use both hands but eagerly pulled Bakugo from his boxers.
He flicked out his pink tongue and licked the tip of the blonde's dick slowly, wincing slightly when Katsuki gave his hair a harsh yank.
"You're cute Deku but I'm not in the mood to be teased tonight. Suck."
Midoriya couldn't help but grin, his chest fluttering at the compliment. He scooted a little closer and placed his lips on the swollen red head, sucking it into his mouth and bobbing down lower.
"Mmmng. Fuck Deku you're so good at that now." Katsuki hissed, relaxing his grip and massaging the smaller man's scalp.
Izuku hummed and started sucking harder, deep throating as best he could while using his hand to pump Bakugo. He loved the moans, low growls, and curses that flew from the blonde's mouth. It didn't take long for Katsuki to hiss and thrust forward, spilling his seed into Midoriya's waiting throat.
Deku swallowed and licked his lips, smiling up at his lover sweetly. His heart fluttered once more when the blonde helped him up and kissed his cheek.
"Get some rest you little shit… I need that report on my latest fight tomorrow."
Midoriya nodded happily as Bakugo left, breathing out a heavy sigh right after. He was painfully hard but didn't want to get himself off tonight and he didn't feel like working on his analysis stuff either. Deciding he'd just try and sleep off both problems, he crawled onto his bed and fell face first into his pillow.
