Fallen (Shoto Todoroki x fem reader)

4. Past

As I made my way back to the rest of the class, I started thinking about what just happened. I accidentally erased a part of someone's memory. I don't know what to do with this information. The only person I could ask for help regarding my quirk would be my aunt. But I don't want to see her. Not after what she did to me.

She's technically not my aunt. She took me in when I was a little baby. My parents abandoned me. They were pro hero's and died during a mission.

My aunt was horrible to me. She verbally abused me all the time and forced me to sleep outside numerous times because she didn't want to see me. She told me I'd end up like my parents if I would go to UC. She never supported my decisions and told me I had no future.

I ended up living on my own to get away from her. I still write her letters from time to time but she never replies. It's alright now that I live by myself. No one bosses me around.

As I went back to the field I saw that the last match was getting wrapped up. "That's it for today's class. You all did great. Whether you lost or won, I am proud of what you guys have presented me today. And remember, winning does not necessarily mean you're stronger than your opponent" the teacher spoke.

"Yes it does" Bakugo scoffed and crossed his arms. I let out a chuckle. As rude as he might be, he seemed funny.

Once I got dressed back into my normal clothes it was time to head back to my apartment. "Hey" I heard behind me. I turned around to see a girl with earphones in. "Hi?" I said hesitantly. "I'm Jirou" she said. "We are hosting a party tonight, would you like to come?" she added and smiled at me.

A party huh? I've never been to one. My aunt thought they were inappropriate and for people that are desperate for "fun".

"Um I'll pass" I said. "Why?" a girl behind her asked. It was the girl with pink hair that I saw on the bus earlier today. "All the guys will be there" she winked. I rolled my eyes. "I still pass" I said and gathered my stuff. "Whatever you say" she said and laughed.

"Just know Todoroki will be there" she grinned. "What does that have to do with me" I said. "Come on you obviously have a little crush on him" she said. I felt anger boil inside of me. Was she making fun of me? I let out a deep sigh and decided to ignore the girls and went home.

10 days later

I've been doing pretty well at UC. However, I have been hesitant to use my quirk ever since last week. I have lost all combat classes after my first day. I don't know how to control my quirk properly I guess. I never had this problem before and it has taken me by a lot of surprise. I don't want to accidentally erase someone's memories. What if I end up erasing more than just a few minutes. This could have fatal consequences.

I made my way to class and saw that all seats were taken except one. Usually Shoto would sit here but for some reason he's not here. I decided to take his spot.

After a few classes I made my way to the cafeteria to get lunch. I saw all the UA students sitting together.

Pathetic.

Trying to make fun of me in the locker room the other day. Who do they think they are.

"Hey y/n, you can sit with us if you want" Midoriya said. I looked at him with hesitation. "No thank-" I started but someone pulled me by my arm. It was the pink haired girl. I yanked my arm away and shot her a glare. "Don't touch me" I said. "I see you guys have met already" Midoriya said nervously. "Unfortunately" I said and walked away.

I went to the bathroom. No one will bother me here. I decided to enter a stall and eat my lunch by myself. I used to do this in high school too since I didn't have many friends. I have always had serious trust issues and a fear of letting people get too close to me.

After school I made my way to the bus station and went straight home.

I wondered why Todoroki wasn't at school. He didn't seem like the type to ditch school.

Todoroki P.O.V

I didn't go to school today. Mainly cause I wasn't feeling well. My dad lost from a villain yesterday and the entire house has been chaos ever since. When I asked him what's wrong he beat me. I haven't been able to sleep for a couple of days as well. I have too many questions. I wonder how my mother is doing. I haven't seen her since freshman year of high school. My dad doesn't allow me to visit her anymore. I think it's unfair. He's the whole reason our house has turned into a broken home.

Your P.O.V

After a while it was night time and I decided to lay in bed for a while and stare at the ceiling. I should visit my aunt soon. I cannot continue to lose all my combat classes. My grade average will drop and I'll be in trouble. The question is.. when? She has never written me back nor does it look like she cares about me.

Still. I need answers. Tomorrow is Saturday. Perhaps I could get on a train and pay her a visit.
