When Izuku woke up he was surprised to feel the arm of Todoroki still securely wrapped around his waist. Izuku could feel his slow puffs of breath on his neck as he continued to sleep. It felt nice, he realized. The comforting warmth of having someone by you, knowing nothing bad will happen.
As carefully as Izuku could, he grabbed Todoroki's hand to release himself from the other's embrace. He lifted the arm up and slowly tried to move it back to Todoroki without waking him. This would be pretty awkward if he woke up right now, he thought.
"M'doriya", came a muffled voice.
Shit.
Still clutching his warm hand Izuku quickly guided it to Todoroki and let go, "G-good morning Todoroki, I was just about to get up", he said, hoping he would leave it at that.
"Did you have another bad dream last night?", Todoroki asked.
Izuku flushed at that, so he remembered.
"Oh- no, thank you for- uh helping me last night", Izuku said. Last night he was quite surprised at what the two-toned haired boy had done. He had thought that Todoroki wasn't a very touchy-feely kinda guy, but after last night Izuku wasn't sure if that was true anymore.
Todoroki placed a cold hand reassuringly on shoulder and looked down at the light blue covers surrounding them, "Uh, anytime you need to-you know- talk about it,"
Izuku cut him off by placing his own hand on top of Todoroki's, "I know", he said, a soft smile finding its way onto Izuku's face. They made eye contact for a brief moment then decided that they needed to look anywhere else. Both faces blushed pink.
Izuku coughed awkwardly and stood up.
"Welp, we better, uh, get ready for the day", he stated.
"Yup, we should", Todoroki agreed.
They both stood there a second too long before they started to actually get ready. Todoroki grabbed his uniform from his closet and began to get dressed. Izuku who had been studying the strange bed head of Todoroki blushed again once he realized what he was doing and looked away quickly.
He stole himself and began to get dressed in his slightly wrinkled uniform. Izuku wasn't sure what he was going to do tomorrow, and he wasn't really sure where to stay.
He pulled on his pants and buckled the belt. He knew going home wasn't an option, even his mother said she wouldn't mind him staying somewhere else. She just wanted to know where, and as much as it pained Izuku to do so, he refused to tell her. He was too afraid his father would try to get the information out of her or if she slipped up and told him where he was staying. Izuku didn't want to think about his father, a villain, knocking on the number two hero's door asking where his useless son was.
Izuku took off the large pajama shirt Todoroki had given him and threw it on the makeshift bed. He grabbed his shirt and began buttoning it with his shaky hands.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom then breakfast", Todoroki announced.
Izuku nodded and turned around, his shirt buttoned all the way now, "I'll be there in a few minutes", he answered and Todorki left.
Izuku grabbed his tie and blazer and haphazardly threw them on as usual. He bent down to the futon and grabbed his phone, thankful to see that it was only at half battery and wasn't completely dead. He should probably ask Kaminari to charge it sometime during school.
He made sure to check any messages, none. He sighed with relief, he wasn't sure if he could deal with another phone call like last night.
He pocketed the phone and went to the bathroom, knocking on the door quietly.
