ShigaTodo Stories Book 2

🥀Injury🌺

Shigaraki was sitting in the bar room with Kurogiri in the bar room, waiting for Toga, Twice, and Todoroki to return from their latest mission. He often assigned those three together on missions, mostly because he knew they all got along well enough. And it was more likely that Toga and Twice would keep Todoroki out of big danger. They knew that if Todoroki came back with as so much as a bruise on his body, there would be hell to pay. Even before they started dating, which was suspected by the rest of the League but not confirmed to them, Shigaraki had always been protective of Todoroki. He never understood why he was protective over him. Maybe it was because Todoroki reminded Shigaraki of himself when he was a child. Or maybe it was because Todoroki showed him genuine kindness and didn't try to annoy him like Dabi or Twice did. 

Shigaraki scratched nervously at his already scarred pale neck. Those three had been gone a lot longer than they normally would have been. He was beginning to get worried. "Please remain calm Tomura Shigaraki, i'm sure they will be back soon." Kurogiri spoke with a calm tone of voice, as if sensing the tension building up inside Shigaraki. 
"It's never taken them this long before." Shigaraki remarked, feeling annoyed. 
"Not every task can be done in the same amount of time." Kurogiri reminded, settling down a beer glass he had just finished cleaning. 

Then, as if one cue, the bar door opened, and Kurogiri and Shigaraki turned around to face who had come inside. Toga and Twice both held onto Todoroki, Toga by his upper arms and Twice by his shoulders. Todoroki gripped at his right arm, holding it to his chest, tears flowing down his face. Blood was dripping from three cuts going down Todoroki's right eye, and one the sliced his bottom and top lips right open. His clothes were also torn up, like he had been attacked by a litter of cats. 

Despite the pain he must be in, and the tears running down his face, Todoroki's expression showed discomfort, and maybe guilt. Shigaraki's eyes grew wide, bolting up from his chair at the bar, rushing over to Todoroki. "What happened??" Shigaraki grumbled violently, obviously very angry. He went to hold Todoroki, but due to the burns on his arm, Todoroki's body jerked automatically away due to pain. Shigaraki felt like his heart was cracking, but it seemed to fade when Todoroki leaned his against Shigaraki's collar bone, showing him that he wasn't trying to avoid him on purpose.
"We were coming back from the mission," Toga began to explain, "but we got ambushed by some police. One of them had a tiger quirk, and went to attack me. Shoto-Kun protected me, but ended up getting those scratches on his face, and maybe in a few other places. To help us escape, Shoto-Kun used fire on his right side."

Twice budded in, "Cause remember those flames are hotter than his left side's fire?? Anyway, those police guys are dead, but Peppermint Head got all burnt up!! " Shigaraki listened to the story Toga and Twice told, and when they were finished, he understood why Todoroki was burned. Dr. Garaki didn't know if it was a quirk malfunction or evolution, but Todoroki was able to use ice and fire on either sides, but the fire on his right side was able to go white and even blue. But, just like Dabi, extreme usage of fire on his right side caused burns, and he rarely used his quirks on their opposite sides. Only in extreme situations. Shigaraki dismissed Toga and Twice, before taking Todoroki by his left shoulder, proceeding to take him to his bedroom. Todoroki sat down on the bed, pain wracking through his entire body. He had over done it. 
"I'm going to go find the first aid kit, i'll be right back." Shigaraki informed, and Todoroki nodded. 

When Shigaraki left, Todoroki pulled off his shirt as slowly and as gently as he possible could. He inspected the damage that police cat guy had done to it. It was difficult, mostly because Todoroki kept wanting to use his right hand, but winced everything the fabric lightly glazed over his burns. Shigaraki returned, having taken longer due to asking Dabi a question about burns. Closing the door gently behind him, Shigaraki knelt down to the floor. He removed Father from his face, looking genuinely concerned. "I'll be as gentle as I can when handling your arm, but I need you to not fight me." Shigaraki explained, cracking opening an orange bottle cap that Dabi had given him. Todoroki nodded again, and Tomura suspected that he was either in too much pain to talk or felt ashamed for getting hurt. Either was possible, if you were talking about Todoroki. Shigaraki carefully put the cream onto the burns. The burn resembled Dabi's, but it only covered Shoto's arm, a dark burgundy color, and it was not a severe as Dabi's scars. 

Despite it hurting like hell, Todoroki forced himself not to move. But he was unable to stop the tears that poured from his eyes, and stung the scratches on his face. Shigaraki hated the fact that this was causing Shoto pain, but he knew it had to be done. When he finished, Shigaraki grimaced at the remaining cream on his hands. He looked around for something to wipe his hands with, not wanting to feel the uncomfortable sensation much longer. Todoroki handed his boss his torn up shirt, and Tomura got the hint and used it. Now, it was time for the scratches. taking a cleaning alcohol pad, Shigaraki gently rubbed at the scratches on Todoroki's right eye. "Your not in any trouble baby," Shigaraki said, knowing that the younger male was refusing to speak due to his shame, "it's normal to get hurt. I just...don't like seeing you get hurt. But, you were protecting Twice and Toga, so it's understandable." 

Todoroki's bottom lips trembled, and winced as he felt pain spiking from his mouth. He gently touched the deep slice, feeling blood pool on the pad of his finger. Shigaraki bandaged Todoroki's eye scratches, before just using another cleaning alcohol pad on Todoroki's lip. They didn't have bandages for this type of cut. Finally finishing, Shigaraki sighed with deep relief. "We match." Todoroki spoke for the first time to Tomura since before he had left, and this immediately got the cornflower blue haired males attention. 
"How?" Tomura questioned, a bit bewildered by Todoroki's sudden comparison. Shoto gently touched the scar on Tomura's lip with his thumb, and the older males face lit up with a deep pink blush.

"We both have lip scars now." Todoroki explained, pointing to his own lip while still touching the older males scarred lips. Unlike Todoroki's lip scar, Shigaraki got his from his constant nibbling on his lips, which made them scarred and cracked.
Shoto gave Tomura a sweet smile, his tears gone, and looking more like himself. Shigaraki couldn't help but smile back, "Yeah, guess so."
