Blind Colors(Tododeku)

"Let's get going then,"
I stepped into the car and automatically felt Midoriya's body lean on me.I swallowed thickly as heat rolled on my face.I looked out the window as the car's engine started.I felt myself relax under the warmth of Midoriya as he leaned his body on mine.I felt my eyes open and shut before finally agreeing with itself and I fell asleep.

I woke up to Aizawa stopping the car.
"You awake sleepyhead?"He asked and he had an unreadable expression on his face.I questioned it before stretching being careful to not disturb Midoriya's sleep.Aizawa unlocked the car doors to let us out I carefully opened the door and slid out making sure Midoriya didn't fall as I carefully picked him up.As I got out with Midoriya in my arms Aizawa did also as he shut his and our door's.He walked toward a large—what looked like—an apartment building.I followed Mr.Aizawa and as we reached the 5th floor he looked at me and I tilted my head in confusion.He reached out his hand I felt myself flinch but he just combed down my hair.
"You have a really messy bed head,"He said with what seemed like amusement but it just sounded embarrassing to me.I drove my head down, for a moment wishing I had a free hand to do this myself but looking at Midoriya it made me rethink that thought.His face looked peaceful and delicate as his eyes rested and I could see small scars covering his eyes he had bags under his eyes and now that I thought about it he seemed skinner.

"He's been having a rough time hearing the news of his condition..."

Aizawa's words rang in my head.My chest tightened at the thought.He was probably depressed...they probably told him that he could be kicked out the hero course because of his condition..and I felt a new feeling bubble up.A feeling that burned away the guilt that lingered.But before I could search for the meaning of those new blooming feelings, we reached a door.Aizawa knocked on it three times before a banging then a silence rang out.I tensed before seeing the door being pulled open.A small women was standing there her eyes had black circles under them and it seemed that she hadn't slept in days.Her face was puffy and it seemed she had been crying.She looked at Aizawa for a moment before looking at me her face was confused before seeing Midoriya in my arms.Her eyes watered as she sobbed.I was about to reach out and comfort her but then Aizawa said.
"We're sorry about the condition that Midoriya's in...Me infinitely because of my role as his teacher knowing th-!"Aizawa started to say before we saw Midoriya's mother quickly bow.

"Stop....just...come inside...okay?"She said her voice cracked and broken.She turned slowly as she stepped inside.She gestured us to follow suit.We reluctantly complied.
"Please put him down on the couch for a moment,"She said to me her voice hoarse.I obliged as I carefully placed Midoriya down on the soft cushion.I sat down on the floor beside him declining the need for a proper seat.
"I'm fine here,"I said as I felt Midoriya shiver and I couldn't help but use my quirk in that moment.He shifted to the warmth of my left side almost eagerly. I tried to pay attention to the conversation Aizawa and Mrs.Midoriya were having but it became increasingly more difficult.
"H-how is he?"She asked and her small body looked even more small and fragile then when we saw her at the door.
"He's fine....but he's running a fever since he got pushed into a river by accident,"Aizawa said with a sigh.I could see her face tighten before softening.
"As long as he's okay...Young man what's your name?"She asked as her gaze slowly trailed from Midoriya to me.
"I'm Shoto Todoroki...a classmate of Midoriya's..."I said and she nodded.
"Your the one he saved, yes?"She asked and I tensed.
"Y-yes..."I said and a sinking feeling came over me.The guilt that once started to dissipate slowly seeped into my heart.Before I could absorb the feeling I felt warmth shower me.I looked over toward Midoriya who was now pressing his face against my back as his hands wrapped around my chest.I felt my face heat up as I covered my mouth with my hand.
"M-Midoriya,"I whispered out which must have caught the adult's attention seeing as giggling rang out from the two.
"Hmmm seems he has taken a liking to you...he gets the most clingy with people he likes,"I heard his mother say between giggles.I felt my face heat up as I looked away.
"I-Is that so...?"I whispered out and I felt my heart soar to life.
