Mending What Broke: Todoroki Shoto x Reader

You Got Mail

The pain of not writing down what episode you left off on is devastating XD

-Y/n's POV-

Starring up at the ceiling, my eyes burned. My never-ending chase for sleep taking a toll on me. Glancing over at my alarm the red lights read '3:45' a little under four hours since the video of Gina was broadcasted. Three hours since Mikoto and Shouto had fallen asleep beside me. 

Feeling something brush against my forearm, I turned my attention to the two boys beside me. Shouto's hand laying beside me, his fingers just grazing the skin of my arm. A small smile made its way to my lips seeing Mikoto in between Shouto and me, his head resting against Shouto's arm as he drooled in his sleep.

I sighed, quietly getting up from my spot on the bed, the movement causing Shouto to turn, the arm trapped underneath Mikoto only flexed. His finger going out to find the heat they once had. 

Sneaking outside of the room, I was careful not to wake anyone as I traveled down the hallway and into the kitchen. Hoping that a glass of water might help me In my sleep-deprived state. Turning into the kitchen, my eyes widened in slight surprise noticing a figure hunched over the countertop.

"Bakugou? What are you doing up?" I Questioned, my voice a small whisper as I made it towards the fridge.

Silently the boy looked up, a spoon in his grasp and a bowl laid out in front of him. Grumbling through a mouthful of food, he groaned, "Say's you, fuck head,"

Rolling my eyes, I opened the fridge, the small light flickering on, illuminating the portion of the kitchen Bakugou and I stood in. Reaching in the back of the fridge, I quickly grabbed one of the small water bottles we had stored. Taking a quick glance up towards Bakugou I notice his eyes were bloodshot like my own. His eyes were red and puffy.

Immediately I could understand why he was up. Closing the door, the room went dark, my eyes having to readjust to the new lighting. Cracking open my water, I lifted the drink to my mouth, hesitating.

"What do you think?" I spoke, my words coming out on their own as I held the bottle to my lips, taking a quick sip.

"About what? You gotta be more specific if you want an answer, Flame Ass," He barked, his tone making me worry about waking the others.

"About... about finding Gina. Do you think we will?" Hearing his silence, I swallowed the lump in my throat. "I-I know I already asked All Might and Aizawa that question- and that they are pro heroes, but they didn't give a straight answer. And knowing you, you are always straight forward with people, even if it's the hard truth," I defended, hoping this boy wouldn't blow me up and get me under house arrest.

Not getting an answer, the blonde stayed silent, his ruby eyes glued onto the food inside his bowl. Seeing as I wouldn't be getting an answer, I sighed. Capping my water bottle, I gave the boy another look.

"Then...can I ask a different question?" Seeing his eyes shoot back up to stare me down, I took it as a yes, "What do you think they are doing to her? I-I know that isn't any better from the last question I asked but- and I'm sorry if this comes across as insensitive- you know better than anyone what they are willing to do to get something out of her,"

"You saw the shitty video. They're called villains for a reason," He hushed, his attention back on his food. Dipping his spoon inside, he stuck it there, trading it for the entire bowl. Standing from his chair, Bakugou walked past me. "Besides," He continued, looking past his shoulder to me, "Rock Head may be a dumbass, but she can hold her own in a fight,"

"But for how much longer?" I spoke, his eyes trailing to the floor as he walked towards the stairs.

"As long as she has to,"
