Todoroki's POV
Midoriya.
He was spacing out.But I wonder why.Before my thoughts could delve into the question, a large amount of smoke started near the training grounds making Midoriya and me go toward it, hoping to see that no one was harmed.We saw our classmates struggling to fight off villains and then, we fought to try and help.But it seemed it was getting out of hand because as I was just pushing back the villain I saw who was charging me I then heard Midoriya yell my name making me look behind me.A flash made me wince before I saw what happened.Midoriya blocked the villains attack but now he was in the villains clutch's I was about to freeze the villain before he activated his quirk making light shine from his palm where he was holding Midoriya's face.I saw as Midoriya's body tensed as he screamed in pure and utter pain.I felt my heart race before I froze the villain the ice barely touching Midoriya before the villain let go of Midoriya as he fell limply down from the villain's grasp.
"MIDORIYA!!"I screamed before running and catching him before he hit the ground.My heart racing out of my chest as an unfamiliar feeling chocked me.
"Midoriya, hey, are you okay?"I asked but it was clear he was unconscious.His face looked burned, and his eyes in particular looked bad.His eyes were black and grimy.Flesh torn and blood coating them.My hands shook as I tried to think of a way to help him.Some way.Panic racing through me I saw Midoriya shake as his face grew pained.I bit my lip before tarring some cloth from my clothes cooling it carefully with my ice before pulling it gently over his eyes.His mouth was contorting in pain as tears spilled from the fabric that covered his eyes.I looked around to see that most of the villains were being handled, and Aizawa was tying them up.I carefully got up and picked Midoriya up bridal style not caring if it looked weird.Wanting—no needing to help him.And make sure he was okay.I ran to Mr Aizawa.
"Aizawa...I..Midoriya got hurt from one of the villains!!"I yelled grabbing his attention automatically as my voice shook with an emotion that I didn't recognize as my own.Mr.Aizawa's gaze quickly went to Midoriya and his eyes widened.
"Quickly take him to recovery girl, those wounds...they need to be healed right away!!!"He said harshly and I almost jumped at the expression he gave.It was one of pure horror
Midoriya's POV
Darkness.
That's all I could see.If you could call it "sight".I tried to move but it felt like I was immobile, unmoving, no matter how hard I tried to put motion into my limbs.I felt panic rush through me.I couldn't feel, couldn't think, couldn't see.My body was swept in to the darkness.The pitch black void surrounded me.Suffocating me.It threatened to blind all of my worlds color into the empty black void.
Into nothingness.
I heard crying, weeping.I tried moving but I could only twitch.I heard an abrupt stop in crying before nothing.Then warmth.
"I-Izuku..."A soft whisper said and it was almost so quiet that I thought that nothing was being said at all.
"M...o...m...?"My voice cracked and broke, my throat felt like sandpaper.I heard more weeping as the warmth coated me further.
"Izuku! I was...so worried....so worried...that you...that this time...I thought...I'd never see you again!!!"I heard my mother cry as she said that and I couldn't feel anything.I tried to move again but another warmth stoped me.
"Take it easy Midoriya, your body needs to recuperate before you even think about moving,"A man's voice, unfamiliar to me, spoke.
"What...happened....?"I asked my voice weak and dry.A pause before more weeping.I couldn't tell what was going on and it hit me why.I bolted up my once immobile state was gone as I moved my head from left to right.My breathing quickened as I tried to from the words.The question that I almost didn't dare to ask.
"Why-why can't I see?"I asked and the weeping became more of an ugly sob."Answer me...why...?"I asked again more serious more deliberate, more desperate.
"Izuku Midoriya..."The man—who I assumed was a doctor—spoke his voice solemn."You've gone blind,"He said and I for a moment couldn't feel, couldn't think, couldn't move, and I wish that that moment stayed forever because the emotions that rolled in were almost too painful to bare.
"Blind...."I felt my stomach churn as my breathing quickened my chest moving quickly as my hands went up to feel cloth.I scratched at the fabric but a warmth stoped me.
"Stop, you'll damage them,"The doctor said and I felt pain rush through me.A burning surged as I tried to open my eyes but the burning sensation strengthened.I felt anger, confusion, overwhelming sadness, and then nothing.My arms went limp as I ducked my head.I bit my lip a darkness I could tell was starting to brew in my mind was close to bursting.
"..."Any words that I could think of were lost.I felt the panic subside into an overwhelming emptiness that consumed me."C-can I be...left alone...?"I asked and I felt a hand on my shoulder but I couldn't handle something so comforting not when my mind was consuming any and all the things that comforted me and destroying them.I moved away from the touch."Leave,"I said and and I felt my eyes sting before a wetness fell, and I could tell I was crying.I felt my legs curl up as I hid myself away into the warmth of myself.Trying not to think of the cracking future that would shatter into dust.I couldn't get myself to feel anything, or else I knew I would break into a million unfixable pieces.
What felt like weeks passed before the door of my hospital room opened.I didn't move from my fetal position.I ducked my head further as footsteps walked toward me.I heard the screeching of a chair as the person rested themselves beside my bed side.
"Young Midoriya?"My heart jumped—no it broke all together, the voice I heard was All might's.I flinched which seemed to answer his unspoken question of if I was awake."I wanted to come to see you earlier but, you seemed to be sleeping, I wanted to tell yo-!!"Before he could utter another word my voice shook out.
"Your disappointed in me aren't you?"I asked quietly as I curled up further my limbs tense."T-this weak body of mine....even when I was starting to control this power I ended up like this...I'm useless...weak...I deserve to be called "deku"..."I said but then I heard a loud squeak of the chair running against the marble floors.
"Midoriya!! I am not disappointed in you!!!I heard what happened, and you did a good job!!You protected your classmates—not only that but you protected Young Todoroki from getting hurt!! You should be proud!! The bravery to help someone at the risk of your own self is!! Is the essence of being a true her-!!"Before he could finish I sat up quickly.
"I! I KNOW IT WAS THE RIGHT THING!!!BUT!!!WHAT DO I DO WHEN ALL I WANT TO DO IS SCREAM!!!CAN'T YOU SEE ALL MIGHT!!!THIS!!!"I screamed as I ripped of my bandages revealing my eyes I opened them and I could only hear silence."I...can't see a thing....I can only see a dark void...nothing....I"My voice cracked as I started to cry."I don't know....what to do anymore...."I whispered as all the emotion that I wanted to hide away burst to the surface crushing me under its weight.I felt warmth shield me as the warmth of a hug touched me, coating my body in comfort.And I didn't have the strength to pull away.
I didn't know how long I was in All Might's arms but it took until I stopped crying to get him to let go.I sat there motionless as I stared blankly in front of me.A coldness hugged me from the loss of contact making me shiver.
"Are you cold should I get you another blanket!?"All might asked quickly and I heard him stand up just as fast I reached out my arm making him stop.
"Just stay here..."I whispered.And he did.And for a moment we just sat there with All might making sure he was leaning on my bed to signal to me that he was by my side."Is Todoroki okay?"I asked and All might answered quickly.
"He's okay, but you know how he is he shields his emotions very well—although—"All might paused—thinking—before continuing."He's been, I'd say worried about you, when he carried you to Aizawa he seemed very emotional."All might said and a spark of feeling hit me.I clenched at the fabric of my shirt as a pleasant burn hit me.
"I'm glad he's okay,"I said as I felt a smile spread across my lips.
"Do you like Younge Todoroki?"I barely registered the question as I looked at All might.A small "huh" left my lips before my face went red.
"NO!YOU GOT THE WRONG IDEA ALL MIGHT I !!! I WAS JUST CONCERNED!!That's it concerned...he is my classmate...after all...."I said as I hid my face in my hands.I heard a small noise before laughter.
"There's the Young Midoriya I know!!"He laughed before leaving off at a chuckle."I didn't mean any harm by the question, I don't even mind if you find Young Todoroki to be someone you like, in a romantic or friendly light!Its just good to see you freaking out about something as trivial as that..."All might said and I felt my heart squeeze before I ducked my head.
"Hey...all might...?"I started to ask making him hum in response."Can I still....become a hero?"I asked which quickly drove away the laughter that once lifted in the room.
"Young Midoriya, I think if you set your mind to it...you can become anything you desire..."Those words struck me and I felt tears prickle before I wiped them away, and I laughed.
"It...It's so good to hear...I....I can't stop crying...."I said with a cracking voice as the tears spilled quickly and eagerly."I...want to become a hero!Number 1!!!"I said as my determination built.
"I believe you will, my boy, I believe you will,"
