A New World (Todoroki x OC)

Chapter 18 - Family

[I am so extremely sorry for not updating and u guys may leave my basement if that's what you want 😢]

I sigh. "What do you want, old man?" My attitude towards Aizawa is an attitude that would make me vomit if I saw another kid acting like that.

Are you gonna be home for dinner?

He's asked this question every day ever since I moved in with him and every day I've said something similar to what I said the day before.

"Tch. No. I'm going out to eat. You can munch on your dinner without me. Bye~" I hear a protest before hanging up the phone. Then I look at Todoroki. "You sure it's okay if I stay here?"

He nods. "Definitely. My siblings already like you, and I have no problem with it."

I smile and turn back to the video game. "Well I can't thank your family enough. And I'm also sorry for dragging you into all my shit."

"Don't be. It's no problem." He replies.

I'm wearing a big shirt of Todoroki's. I don't have any pants on, but I don't see the reason for them. Todoroki doesn't seem to mind either... At least I don't think so.

I groan when Todoroki beats me once more. He chuckles and turns to me. "Sorry. I was thinking of going easy on you, but figured you wouldn't like that."

I smirk. "Well you thought right. But even so, I still beat you at card games, so that's good enough for me." My eyes drift to the time. 5:26.

I sigh. "Is your sister gonna cook again?"

Todoroki nods. "Probably."

I stand up and say, "I'm gonna go help her then."

Todoroki blushes and looks away. "O-okay. Just... You might wanna put some pants on."

I smile at him. "Yeah, I will. Do you have any sweatpants?"

He nods and goes to his dresser. He digs through some drawers and tosses me a pair of gray sweatpants. I slip them on and head out of his room, Todoroki following me.

When we reach the kitchen, Fuyumi is preparing a hot pot. She smiles when she sees me. "Hey Shoya. You hungry?"

I smile back and nod. "Yeah."

Todoroki comes up beside me. "It smells good, Fuyumi."

"Are things at home not going well?" Fuyumi asks me.

I shrug. "It's kinda chaotic. Thankyou for letting me stay."

"Anytime. We've been through bad times ourselves. Especially Shoto."

I look at him and he looks at the ground.

"Yeah, he told me about it. Your father was a bit overwhelming, huh?" I follow Fuyumi to the dining room as she picks oup the hot pot items.

"Well... He was always focused on being number one, so family wasn't really a thing to him. Our mother suffered along with their children. She's at a hospital right now, though Shoto has been thinking about going to visit her." She explains. Fuyumi sets up the table and Todoroki helps her. "Shoto doesn't really like being home when he knows Father is coming. I assume he was with you at those times."

I nod and turn to Todoroki. "That's why you always refused to go home?"

He shrugs in reply.

"Anyways, all I'm saying is that we understand what you're going through. And if you're ever in need of help or a place to stay, we'll gladly be there for you." Fuyumi smiles as she caresses my cheek. I smile at her too before she turns away. "NATSUO! DINNER!" She yells.
