Sho & Sho

--
We patrolled almost our entire first day after arriving at Endeavor hero agency. Nothing seemed too out of the ordinary and Todoroki and I learned a lot of new things about what heroes do as well. We were out for most of the afternoon and by night, I was exhausted.

The agency has rooms set up in the building for people to sleep in so a sidekick showed me to one.

For some reason, Todoroki didn't want to go home with his father to sleep, so he was going to be sleeping in the room next to mine.

I was prepared to stay at the agency for the entire week, so I had packed all of the stuff I needed for my nightly routine. After about half an hour I was ready to plop down on the bed and get some rest after a great day.

"It wasn't your fault Shoya."

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do."

"Everything was turned into ash, you can't go back from that."

"Shoya...?"

"No." I blurted out into the empty room while jolting awake from another nightmare. I lifted my body to a sitting position and put a hand over my chest, "it was just a dream." I spoke softly into the darkness, breaking the silence and trying to subdue the rapid pounding coming from my heart.

"it was just a dream." I said to myself again, barely audible.

I took my hand off of my chest and tapped on my phone screen to look at the time.

2:34 am

I dropped my body so that my back was connected to the bed once again, trying to close my eyes and continue to sleep so I could get enough rest for tomorrow.

I was almost in a deep sleep until I heard a slight noise, almost as if someone was knocking on my door. I ignored it at first, thinking it was just my imagination, until I heard it again.

"Mineha?" I heard through the door after the last knock.

Todoroki?

I just assumed it was the two-toned boy because I couldn't think of anyone else that could be knocking on my door so late. I acknowledge for the person to come in and just as I thought it was him after all.

"I'm sorry to come in so late, but I could hear you moving and talking from the other room, I wanted to make sure you were okay." He said getting straight to the point.

I didn't realize that when I got nightmares I moved around so much and made noise. No one said anything at the dorms and I've been living alone for awhile so the possibility didn't even cross my mind.

I gave Todoroki an apologetic look, "Ah, I'm sorry did I wake you? I didn't realize I was being so loud! I was just... uh..." I tried to come up with any excuse as to why I'd be making such weird noises at night.

"It sounded like you were having a nightmare." He spoke before I got the chance to come up with a lie. At that point it was too late and I was too tired to even think up anything that made sense so I simply nodded and turned away, embarrassed my classmate had to see me so vulnerable.

"I won't pry, I just wanted to see if you were okay and if you need anything, let me know." He said quietly.

He was standing in front of the door, like he was too scared to actually comfort me. Maybe he's just not good at this kind of stuff, which I can understand. Sure, we had been getting closer but we were still just sort of acquaintances and this is probably the most heartfelt conversation the two of us has ever had together. He was trying, and that meant a lot to me.

"I lost my parents." I suddenly blurred out.

aw man what the heck was that Shoya now it's going to be even more awkward!

I could already see the look in Todoroki's face shift from mild worry to utter sorrow and the last thing I wanted was to be pitied.

"BUT ITS OKAY." I yelled before he could say anything that I had already heard or didn't want to hear again,"I'm dealing with it.. so please don't pity me or anything. I'm going to overcome it and become a great hero, so please don't look at me like that." I sort of mumbled the last part because it came out a little rude.

Todoroki didn't say anything for a second, he just blinked at me, it looked like he was racking his brain for the right words. After what felt like ages, he finally spoke.

"It's kind of ironic, your choice of words." He started,"you sound a lot like Bakugou."

Upon hearing those words my stomach dropped. It wasn't because I 'hated' Bakugou, it was because Todoroki is the second person to say something along those lines to me, and now I'm starting to think I have to face the facts.

"Bakugou is everything I want to be." I said softly, hoping the icyhot boy didn't hear me, but he did loud and clear.

"Is that why you guys argue so much?" He asked.

I didn't answer. I didn't want to answer. It felt like I had already said too much and I could bring myself to admit anything more. Todoroki took my silence as his answer and was headed toward the door to see himself out.

"Hey." I stopped him in his tracks,"Is it alright, if I call you Shoto?"

This was my way of asking to be friends, real friends.

"Sure, Shoya." He responded immediately.

That was his way of saying, we already were real friends.
