Todoroki: Can you meet me on the balcony tonight, at 11:55?
The black-haired girl blinked.
Yaoyorozu: Yes, of course, but why?
The other teen looked down and smiled a bit, shaking his head.
Todoroki: It's a... surprise.
Yaoyorozu hurried up the stairs. She was running a bit late, she glanced at her phone and saw it was 11:59. She mentally cursed herself. If she hadn't gotten distracted with dancing with her friends...
She huffed, trying to catch her breath as she jogged. She was only a few steps away from the balcony.
Jirou was the one who told her. She had overheard the guys talking about how Todoroki was finally going to express his feelings- of course, Yaorozu was ecstatic. She admired the aspiring hero, in more ways than one.
She heard the fireworks boom, and she leaned on the door to the balcony, breathing erratic.
Yaoyorozu: I'm here! I...
She froze.
Yaoyorozu: Todoroki?
♡
The pair flinched, their eyes widened as they looked at the girl. He could see the tears forming in her eyes. Shit-
He quickly let go of the melanated girl, the loss of affection making her scowl slightly. She started to put the pieces together in her head- she wasn't stupid, why else would Momo come at that exact moment.
Yaoyorozu: So this is what you wanted to talk about...
Todoroki: Yaoyorozu-
Yaoyorozu: No it's okay... I'm happy for you two. I'm sorry if I was getting in the way.
Todoroki: You weren't-
He was at a loss for words. It wasn't supposed to go like this. He was supposed to kiss her, not Y/N, this is wrong-
Yaoyorozu: I'll be in my room.
She started to walk away, shoulders slumped. Y/N has been quiet the whole time, she didn't really feel it was her place to speak. But then he started to go after her, and as a reflex, a fear of being replaced or abandoned, she grabbed his wrist.
Todoroki: What the hell-
Y/N: Todo.. maybe you should just... let her go maybe?
She requested softly. It had started to snow, the soft snowflakes cooling her skin.
Todoroki: What the hell's wrong with you?
She looked up, her brows furrowed.
Y/N: Excuse me?
Todoroki: What made you think you can just kiss someone?
Y/N: Are you being fucking serious right now Todoroki?
Todoroki: Yes, I am. You've ruined everything.
He pulled his wrist away and started to leave.
Y/N: What- Todoroki- you kissed me back. How is this my fault?
Todoroki: You did this on purpose. You just don't want me to be happy, don't you?
Y/N: What in the world makes you think that? Are you fucking dense?
Todoroki: You're doing this because of my father, right?
He turned and looked her in the eyes. She could tell he was angry, that cold stare of his that never seemed to work on her finally making her back down.
Y/N: What? No, you know I didn't want to be a part of this-
Todoroki: Yet you're trying to seduce me.
Y/N: Todoroki- no, you're being unreasonable because you're angry, I get it-
Todoroki: I'm not angry, I'm not being unreasonable, and no. You don't get it. You don't get it because this stupid arranged marriage thing is the only reason you're here. You're only here because you're supposed to be. Because of my father. But I don't want you here, and I never did.
He said firmly, his jaw clenched in anger. Y/N blinked sadly. She could already feel the lump in her throat going. It wasn't supposed to go like this.
Todoroki: You really are just in it for the money. Fucking fake.
He said the last two words under his breath, scoffing and walking away. Y/N was left on the balcony, the wind picking up. There on the railing, her red roses wilted slowly as her face contorted into an expression of sadness. They wilted until the petals were black and wrinkled. Pure, heartbroken, depressing sadness.
♡
Todoroki paced around his room, thinking of what to do. Momo won't talk to him, Jirou said it was best if he gave her space. She seemed pretty mad, but it wasn't like him explaining the situation would make it better.
The thing is, he didn't want to give her space. He wanted to be with her, to finally do what he's been longing to do. But then Y/N, the kiss, everything-
The kiss. Now that he thought about it, heat rose to his face again. No. No, no, no, no. No, he didn't have feelings for her. He barely knew her. She just came into his life like she was some kind of goddess or something. Who did she think she was? Taking care of him while he's sick, taking him to the mall... making him laugh.
Shit. He probably did have feelings. It made him angry. He just wanted to get rid of her, they weren't supposed to be together, she was only there because of his jackass of a father.
He needed to get rid of her. He needed to get rid of these feelings.
So he did the stupidest thing he could do. A rash, in-the-moment thing he had just thought of.
He called his father.
Enji: It's past midnight.
Todoroki: I need to talk to you.
The pro hero sighed over the phone, rubbing his temples.
Enji: Shoto, can't this wait until tomorrow? New Years' is a haven for criminals, you're lucky I'm letting you on vacation.
The two-toned teen ignored his father's annoyingness for the time being.
