Letters From A Fan

Chapter 12

~Time-Skip: 5 Months~

Todoroki sat at his desk at work filling out the many reports from the day's arrests. He was tired and really just wanted to go home, wallow in loneliness for an hour or two, and then go to bed early so that he could get up and train away his empty dreams the next morning before his shift.

Over the past year, he'd thoroughly regressed back into his old ways, retreating inward so that he wouldn't be hurt again by anyone he happened to meet… not that anything could crush his heart as much as losing Midoriya had.

Still, hiding behind resentment and attempting not to feel the loss he was experiencing wasn't as effective as it had been in the past. Deku was slowly coming back out of the 'slow period' he'd been in for a while, writing more Pro Hero agencies than ever before. And of course Shoto knew who he was, so he'd see the man's wild green hair every so often in videos from fights in the city he'd moved from.

Every letter someone else got when he didn't stung his heart. Every hero clip his coworkers watched that had Midoriya in it made his eyes burn with tears he wouldn't let form. Every day he spent going home to an empty apartment instead of getting to watch Izuku cook and listen to him babble about heroes stretched on for eternity only for it to start all over the next day.

And yet, he couldn't bring himself to call Izuku or attempt to convince him to leave Bakugo again.

"You know bottling everything up isn't healthy" his desk mate stated, pointing to a layer of ice starting to form on his skin.

Todoroki used his quirk to melt the frost, deciding not to answer as he usually didn't. He packed up his completed work and moved to leave, only to be stopped on the way out the front door.

"Duality… I've got some mail for you here…"

"Not interested." He replied coldly, moving to sidestep the equally uninterested mailman.

"Look, buddy, I'm just trying to do my job same as you and if it's got the Deku seal on it I can't just throw it away."

Todoroki whipped around and snatched the letter from the mailman, almost ripping it in half as he tore it open. He ignored the man who scoffed and sauntered off as he began desperately reading.

'Shoto… Or maybe I should call you Todoroki since I got onto you for using my first name. I'm sorry for how I left things between us. I was upset and afraid and I took it out on you. I'm still with Kacchan… I know that's probably not what you want to hear, but, it's true.

You've probably moved on from me—and have every right to for how I behaved— so it might be wrong for me to reach out to you like this but I don't know. I've kept up with all your fights even though we haven't been talking… and it just… Something isn't right about the way you move and how you interact with people.

Is something new bothering you, Shoto, or is it my fault? I thought that space would make us both feel better, but if I've only hurt you worse I'm so sorry… I've missed you so much; I hope you know that, and I hope I can say it without making this terrible situation between us worse.

I'm going to be in the city you moved to this next week. I'll send you one more note with a time and place to meet just in case you want to see me, since I want to see you.

Izuku -Deku-'

Shoto's heart was so erratic he was sure that it would simply stop beating at some point. Midoriya wanted to meet him—the boy he was still very much in love with was offering to give him another chance, even if it was only for friendship.

He pocketed the note and hurried home, hope flaring in his previously numb chest.

The place Midoriya had said to meet was a small twenty-four-hour diner downtown. Todoroki got there at 7:00 PM even though the note had said eight, nervous and excited about finally seeing Izuku after so long. But as the seconds turned to minutes and then to hours, the dual user became more disheartened.

A nice waitress even gave him a free milkshake part of the way through the night as a 'sorry your date stood you up' gesture, but Shoto couldn't bring himself to touch it, his stomach too twisted. He sat picking at and refreezing the drink until almost four in the morning, but then finally decided it was probably time to leave.

He tipped the kind lady well and slowly walked out, his feet dragging behind him with the full intention of getting at least an hour or two of restless sleep before he had to show up for his patrol shift at eight that morning.

He walked down the streets with his head and eyes down, wondering what had kept Izuku from meeting him this time. Had Bakugo decided not to allow him to come? Had Midoriya simply gotten cold feet and decided not to show? Were the two notes only sent to hurt him?

Todoroki was about to turn down the next street when he heard his muffled name being shouted along with a slight pounding on glass. His head turned sharply, searching and eventually finding Midoriya's frantic green eyes peering out at him from the window of a bus.

He could see the boy turning once he'd gotten his attention and mouthing something at the driver who pulled over at the next stop sign. Shoto ran to him as Midoriya stumbled out of the vehicle and right into his arms, both hugging each other tightly as if they'd not been distant for the past year.

Todoroki pulled back to stare at him, his smile falling slightly at the busted lip and black eye he was met with. He didn't ask if it was Bakugo though, not wanting to upset the teen now that he finally had him back in his arms. He ran his thumb over the discolored skin, leaving a thin layer of frost before pulling him back into another tight hug, breathing in his forest-like scent. "I've missed you so much…"

Izuku nodded quickly, rubbing his face into Todoroki's chest as he choked on a sob. "You have no idea how happy I am to hear that! I've missed you too! I'm so sorry I was late! There was a villain threat on the train I was on and I didn't have your number anymore so I couldn't call you… You probably have to get to work soon and you've stayed out here all night! I was just going to ask the people at the diner if you'd shown up at all because then I could have tried to reach out again. I didn't expect you to still be here though! You need rest and—"

Todoroki swooped down and caught Izuku's lips with his own, effectively stopping the ranting before he even realized what he was doing. Once his brain caught up with his heart's actions, he pulled back guiltily. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't have done that without your permission I… I just…"

Midoriya smiled up at him through his blush, gripping Shoto's shirt tightly. "It's o-okay…"

Todoroki didn't see any sign of discomfort on Izuku's face, so he kissed the bruised and swollen knuckles of Izuku's hands next, blowing ice onto them lovingly. "You must be exhausted as well; I can walk you back to wherever you're staying or… You can come and stay with me… I'll behave I promise."

"I'd l-like to go to your place if you're sure you're okay with it," Izuku responded quietly, lowering his eyes nervously.

Shoto smiled and wrapped his left arm around Midoriya, warming his smaller body as they quietly walked to his apartment.

Izuku giggled as he entered Todoroki's place, glancing around with amusement. "You really like traditional stuff, don't you? This is like a smaller version of your house back home!"

Shoto finished sending an email to his agency that he had a personal emergency and smiled, watching his love trail around and touch everything. No matter how many times he'd rearranged his furniture or organized his things, it never felt or looked right until that moment.

Something about seeing Midoriya amidst the compulsive neatness of his apartment made everything fit perfectly—made it feel like home.

"Let me treat your wounds… I'm sure they must hurt..." he finally offered, more easily able to see the damage in the light of his apartment. Even if neither of them noticed, the situation was reminiscent of the first time Midoriya had ever been to Todoroki's home—the first time they'd hesitantly taken a chance on one another.

Izuku flushed heavily but couldn't deny that his ribs were still aching along with his face and hands. "Okay, but I don't want you to get mad because Kacchan didn't do it! I got in a fight with a villain a couple of days ago and nothing is broken."

Todoroki tensed his jaw but nodded, waiting patiently as Izuku stripped off his jacket. But then the boy paused before taking off his shirt. "What is it?"

"It's just… You've never seen me in less than a T-shirt and sweatpants except for that one time I was so sick… I know you said you don't mind my scars but—"

"Izuku, do you mind the scar on my face?" Todoroki interrupted. He made sure to keep his voice soft and gentle so that it didn't sound accusing. He was already fully aware that the boy didn't care about it.

"No! Of course not! And I know what you're getting at but it's not the same…"

Shoto sighed and walked over to the kitchen counter where Midoriya stood, easily lifting him up so that he could sit on it. He looked deep into the boy's eyes, keeping the firm yet comforting contact as he lifted the boy's shirt up.

Izuku swallowed hard but seemed to relax slightly once the clothing was completely removed, straitening himself up. He couldn't help but feel nervous as Todoroki's right hand slid over the bruises on his ribs, cooling the sore flesh.

The dual user did the same thing for his hands next but when it was time to work on his bottom lip and cheek, he hesitated some, unable to resist the urge to show Midoriya how much he adored him once more. He leaned forward slowly and kissed Izuku's cheek, frosting out a breath to lightly numb the area.

Todoroki pressed his forehead to Midoriya's next, pausing once more. His hands rested on the counter next to his loves thighs, gripping the edge tightly to keep them from trembling. "I promised you that I would behave. So, if you want me to stop, all you have to do is say so…" he whispered, anxious fear of rejection just barely hidden from his voice.

Izuku reached out and slipped his fingers into Todoroki's waistband, pulling him closer and between his legs as an answer. Shoto smiled gently, closing the increasingly small gap between them and gently placing his lips against the boys.

The kiss was slow and sensual, soothing Midoriya's small cut while making his chest ache with desire. He groaned ever so slightly, melting into the affection.

Todoroki moved lower, leaving butterfly kisses and sucking softly on the smooth skin of Izuku's jaw and neck, trailing down to his collarbone. His hands crept up to the boy's hips, squeezing them gently and pulling him even closer.

"Sh-Shoto…" Midoriya sighed happily. He couldn't even describe how wonderful the dual user's lips felt against his skin; Bakugo was never unhurried and tender like this. He wrapped his legs around Todoroki, gasping when he was lifted up once again and carried to the boy's bedroom.

Izuku felt his heart fluttering when Shoto laid him back on his bed, crawling up and hovering over him. He was nervous, worry still present in his mind about all of his insecurities, but there was such joy as well.

Todoroki kissed Midoriya's chest, feeling the boys pulse beating rapidly under his lips and smiled, pecking at it again. "We don't have to go any farther, Izuku." He promised, making eye contact with him once more.

The mossy-haired boy blinked back appreciative tears, cupping Todoroki's face and pulling him down into another sweet kiss. He slipped his hands down and tugged on Shoto's shirt, urging the boy to remove it.

As soon as the dual user obliged he flushed, averting his eyes from the boy's muscled chest and stomach. Out of habit, he waited for an insult, or some comment to be made about his embarrassment.

"You look so beautiful when you're flustered…"

Midoriya's face burned even hotter and he covered it, giggling when Shoto kissed the tip of his nose. It was short-lived, however, when he felt hands running up his thighs and undoing his pants, causing a gasp to sneak out of his lips.

He kept his eyes closed as Todoroki's lips sucked at the sensitive spot beneath his belly button, arching his back and shuddering in pleasure.

Shoto moved back and stepped off the bed just long enough to slip off his pants and grab a bottle of lube, pulling off Midoriya's next. He climbed in between the boys parted legs and lowered himself down slowly, feeling his own heart thumping frantically in his chest.

Izuku could hear Todoroki coating his fingers in the slick liquid as he started kissing him again, quickly gasping in pleasure as the boy began stretching him. It felt so amazing that he almost whimpered when they were removed, but he knew that it meant he'd get to feel Shoto completely.

"I want you so badly," Todoroki breathed across his lips, pecking him gently right afterward. "You're sure about—"

"N-no! I want this! I want you, Shoto… Please, take me!" Midoriya whined desperately, wrapping his arms around the man's waist tightly like he might try and leave.

The dual user dropped his forehead down to Izuku's again, carefully watching his expression as he pressed his hips forward slowly, doing his best to make sure the boy was always comfortable. He'd been with people before, but it had never felt as good as this. Every inch he pushed in made him pant even more.

"Ah! Haa…" Midoriya groaned, arching his back once more and digging his head back into the soft pillows.

Shoto started thrusting back and forth, keeping his pace slow and gentle. He cupped Izuku's cheek while he kissed him, trailing his lips down his shaking jaw. He could hear Midoriya gasping and mewling into his ear, the boy's fingers sliding up between his shoulder blades.

They were both completely entranced by the other, pleasure pooling into their lower bellies and creeping up their spines. Todoroki picked up his pace slightly, hitting the boy's prostate over and over again.

"Sh-Shoto!" Izuku gasped, curling into the dual user and using his legs to force Todoroki farther into him as he came, pushing him over the edge too. He could hear the boy moaning his name as well into his throat, feel him shuddering above him.

They laid still in each other's trembling embrace, panting out gasped breaths as their orgasms receded. Todoroki lifted his head slightly and kissed his Izuku lovingly again, rubbing their noses together. This was more to him than just ecstasy; it was true happiness that warmed every part of his soul. Without a word he picked his lover up and slipped them both under the covers.

"Don't you have work?" Midoriya asked, brushing his lips over Shoto's collarbone sweetly.

"I called in when we got to the apartment," Todoroki explained as he held Izuku. "I haven't gotten to just relax and nap with you in too long."

Midoriya sighed in contentment and let his eyelids flutter closed, wiggling to get himself as close to the dual user as he possibly could. He didn't think that there'd ever been a more perfect moment in his life.
