'Hey! It's Midoriya, I can't get to the phone right now but leave a message and I'll call you back!'

"Midoriya..." Todoroki mumbled as he gripped his bed sheets, getting anxious by the second. "It's Shouto..."

Racing thoughts he couldn't control was becoming unbearable. The what ifs, the insecurities, the doubts. All piling up, one after another.

"Listen, I..." He stopped, trying to think of what to say. What do you say when you're on the verge of killing yourself? "I'm not doing so great right now."

Deep breaths.

"And I--"

In.

"I--" Todoroki stopped, feeling his throat close up. "I don't think I'm gonna make it."

The taller closed his eyes as he tried thinking of Midoriya, picturing him in his room. Telling him everything's gonna be okay. Everything's gonna be okay.

"I miss you." He said, gripping the phone this time. "And I wish you were here to tell me everything's gonna be okay."

A tear fell as he looked over at the pills he had taken from his dad.

"I wish you were here to hold my hand." He bit his lip, trying to comfort himself as he dragged his finger across his knee. "Because I could really use that right now."

He looked across the room at a picture of him and Midoriya. Smiling. Smiling means you're happy. He was happy before.

Todoroki let out a breathy fake laugh. "Ironic huh? Because I pushed you away and said I wanted nothing to do with you anymore? And now..."

Todoroki stopped, trying and failing to fight back the sob pushing it's way out of his throat.

"I'd want more in this world is for you to hold onto me again." Todoroki didn't bother fighting back the sob as he thought Midoriya didn't care enough.

He started to shake as he tightened his grip like it was Midoriya's hand.

"I mi-ss you." His voice broke as he ran his fingers along his matching tattoo he got with Izuku the day after they graduated. "And I don't know why I told you to leave."

He sobbed, still on the voicemail recording.

"I just don't think it's my time anymore, I think I..." He thought for a moment, calming himself down. "I think my purpose is over so there's nothing left for me anymore. My times up and I fulfilled everything I was sent here to do."

He blinked a few years away, his chest tightening as he started to cry again.

"But I don't wanna leave you. I don't want to never see you again." He brought his knees to his chest. "I want to go back, where I took your virginity, where I stole your first kiss, where I helped you cook Bakugou his birthday cake because you burned it." He laughed.

His laugh was real but full of sadness as he sat there with the phone, basically talking to a machine.

"Or when you cried and said I hated you because I wouldn't buy you your allmight figure." Todoroki smiled with tears in his eyes as he looked up. "But... I guess we don't get to do that anymore because I ended it between us. And I'll never get to relive those moments again. I'm the reason I lost my will to live. So there's no point I guess. I love you tho, never forget that."

And he ended the call. Todoroki looked over at the pills, feeling regret and hating himself for the decisions he's made.

His phone started to ring just before he took the handful and slowly, he answered it without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello?" Curse his crying voice.

"Shoto?" Todoroki was confused, thinking he was imagining it. Had he already taken the pills? He was about to hang up before the voice spoke again. "I miss you too."

Looking at the call ID, his body tensed up when he read Izuku's name and a picture of him and the boy together.

"And I want you to know that I love you." Midoriya hesitated for a moment before speaking. "And you can say no, but I would really love to come over and see you.."

No answer.

"Please... I know I cheated on you, but you can give me another chance. I was drunk, and I know you hate talking about it but, you need to know."

"My doors always unlocked." Todoroki had said, not wanting to hang up.

"Okay!" Relief washed over Midoriya's voice as he failed to hide the fact that he was crying while listening to the voicemail. "Everything's gonna be okay."

"Are you gonna stay the night?" Todoroki sniffed as he dumped the pills down the sink and sat on the bed, attempting to make it comfortable for the other when he arrived.

The sound of a car door being shut was heard on the other line before a soft, 'Not now Kacchan.'

"Yes! Sorry, Bakugou drove me here. He said hi." Midoriya mumbled, as he sniffed. A soft, 'No I didn't' was heard, causing the taller to smile.

"Tell him I said hi too." Todoroki started feeling better, if Midoriya was already here. He probably was gonna come anyway as soon as Todoroki had called.

He smiled to himself before the line ended just as the front door opened.

Soft footsteps made their way across the hall before the bedroom door was slightly pushed open a tad.

Green curls poked their head through and Todoroki sat up straight.

First time he's talked to him in months, first time he's seen him in a year.

"I forgive you."

Midoriya broke down as he climbed into bed with the other, gripping onto his shirt as he held the boy close. "I never want to lose you."

Todoroki started to feel himself start to cry as he returned the hug. "I don't either."

"We're okay now?" Midoriya asked, wiping the other's tears away before his own.

Todoroki let out a soft sob as he cupped the other's face and kissed him.

Now I'm not like other girls or guys who are like, "Doesn't matter if blah, you still cheated." I consider cheating being sober in the mind. If you're drunk, that's a pass for me because I try to see the good in people so when I choose my partners, I choose them carefully, or at least try to. I've only been cheated on once by a girl named Joslin and she wasn't drunk because, well I was like 16 when dating her.

But yeah, I don't consider drunk or high intercourse with someone else cheating which is why I had Todoroki forgive Midoriya.

It kind of still is cheating but it's forgivable cheating to me. Now, I don't support cheating in anyway and that goes for the rest of stuff I write. Keep in mind. I'm almost 18 - yo wait, I started this book when I was 15 - Anyways, I still have a lot to learn with this concept.

I have another chapter scheduled to be up today, a Kiribaku one.
