Fated Soulmates | TodoBakuDeku AU | Book #1 Of the Trilogy

Chapter 33

Todoroki's P.O.V.

"I missed you, Todoronie," Zero said.

He sat down in the seat behind me and I could feel his eyes staring at me intensely. I usually never ever feel and type of vulnerability or weakness. But Zero makes me feel so weak and helpless that it doesn't make sense. That one sentence just put me through a million emotions. I can't lose my cool though like I just did. All I have to do is avoid him.

After Class

This is gonna be easy. Just ignore him. I'm not going to look behind me.

I stood up so I could walk to Bakugou. But then all of a sudden I felt a hand over my mouth and waist. Then that person snatched me out of the room. No one noticed me getting snatched so I knew who was holding me. It was Zero. His quirk is invisibility, kind of like Hagekure. Only difference is, he can activate and deactivate it whenever he wants. Depending on how hard he's been training, it might last longer. Also when he's invisible, everything he touches becomes invisible. So that's how nobody realized I disappeared.

When we got a secluded space he put me down against a wall.

"There, we're finally alone," he said.

Hearing his voice again started giving me flashbacks. And before I knew it, I was freaking out again.

"Leave me alone! Why are you here?!" I yelled.

He frowned and it looked genuine. His eyes started watering like he was about to cry. Then he started blinking rapidly and looked away. When he looked back at me, he had the same grin that he had on earlier.

"Almost lost composure there," he chuckled. "Anyways, I hear you've found your soulmates."

What?

"I didn't! Why would you care if I did?" I asked.

He tried reaching his hand out to my face but I moved my head out of the way.

"Because I want to know if you've truly moved on. I want to know if you still love me. Even though I hurt you, and I might continue hurting you. Just like this," he said.

He then pushed me against the wall and got up really close to my face.

"You're pretty even when your scared. Honestly though, I would never hurt you. Not on my own will at least. Please remember that," he said.

At that moment, I could tell that he was speaking the honest truth. When he lies he does this thing with his nose. It flares up really big. His nose didn't flare so I nodded my head.

"Good," he said as he smiled. "I love you."

"I lo-"

"Hey Todo, what are you...." Bakugou said.

It took me a second to realize what just happened and what was about to happen if Bakugou hadn't interrupted. I was about to say I love you too!

Then I realized the position we were in looked extremely wrong, so I pushed Zero off and he pouted. Then I ran over to Bakugou, grabbed his hand, and walked away.

"Todoroki what was happening back there? It looked like-"

"It was nothing Bakugou," I said.

"It didn't look like nothing," he mumbled.

And of course he was right. It wasn't just nothing. But it's something that I don't want to discuss with him, so I'm making it into nothing. 

Zero's P.O.V.

Damn it I almost had him! That damn blondie just had to get in the way. I just want to get this over with. I don't really want to do this. I'm not even doing it for the money to be honest. This might sound selfish, but I honestly don't want Todoroki dating anyone. When Endeavor told me that he found his soulmates, I guess I got jealous. That's what made me agree to the deal. I figured if Endeavor is telling the truth and this all works out, then Todoroki would break up with whoever he's dating. But the problem is, I love Todoroki and would never want to hurt him intentionally. So in order to go through with this, I'll need to basically get rid of my conscience.

That's easy because I did it in middle school. When the incident happened and Endeavor caught Todoroki and I, I wanted to stand up for Todoroki but I knew that it was a battle I couldn't win. So right then, I got rid of my conscience as if it were like a light switch and left. After that, I didn't see Todoroki at school for weeks and I really wanted to talk to him. But he just wasn't there. When he finally came back after almost a whole month, he was in horrible condition. I thought to myself, "I can help him." So I tried talking to him, but the second I approached him, he gave me a cold glare and walked away. He never saw it, but at that moment I cried. The emotions I felt just from him turning away were too much for me to handle. So right then and there, I did what I had to do to protect myself. I guess you can say that I flipped my switch. And after that I didn't feel any guilt for what I did or sadness from what he did to me. And for the rest of our middle school years, we completely blocked each other out.

I regret the hell out of it. I feel like if I wasn't such a pussy back then things probably would've turned out different. But unfortunately, I was being too sensitive and just quit. So I guess I'm doing this for my own selfish needs. But to be honest, when I told him that I loved him just now, I really meant it and I completely forgot why I was here. So in order to do this, I guess I'll have to get rid of my conscience, again.

And soon enough, just like that I waa able to. When I'm like this, I don't see Todoroki as the one I love. Instead, I see him as my personal boy toy and I'll be the only one he likes.
