Numb ---- Suicidal Todoroki x Bakugo----[BOOK 1]

32 - Insignificant

Todoroki's POV:

I sat at Aizawa's desk, running my fingers over my cuts gently as I waited.

What if Bakugo tells him everything?

Then I can't lie

Because he'll already know

But I don't know what he does and doesn't know

So what things should I be honest about

I don't wanna rat myself out for everything I've ever done and then find out Bakugo told him nothing

I'll just stay silent

He can't make me talk

I heard a large thud against the wall outside, followed by yelling.

Yeah sounds like they're wrapping it up

I sat down at Aizawa's desk and put my head down, dreading the entire situation.

Why'd I have to slack off in class

Why couldn't I have just been stronger for one fucking day

Then this wouldn't have happened

Why couldn't I just pay attention and focus today

Why'd I have to get distracted by whatever the fuck is wrong with me

My problems don't even fucking matter and here everyone is making it a big deal

All because I was a little dramatic and couldn't just hold up the damn facade

I'm such a fuck up

"Todoroki?"

I didn't respond."

"Todoroki I need you to talk to me or else I don't know what's going on and I have to talk to your father."

"He's not my father." I mumbled, lifting my head from off the desk.

"What?"

"I said he's not my fucking father, don't call him that. He doesn't get to be called that." I said in a loud, stern voice, immediately regretting my actions. I slouched back in my seat. "Sorry. I don't think before I speak sometimes." I said in a dull, somewhat bitter voice.

"It's fine. But why do you say that?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Family issues?"

"Why do you wanna know?"

"Because if there's something going on at home I need you to tell me about it so I can solve the problem."

"Well the problem is me. Everything that happens at home all stems from me and my problems so there's nothing to be solved."

"I don't think that's true."

"Well it is."

"Just because you perceive things that way doesn't make it true. Bakugo told me about Endeavor. You don't have to lie Todoroki."

"I'm not lying. Endeavor's only like that because I'm weak."

"You're not weak."

"I'm not here to argue with you about my weaknesses. Look I just wanna leave."

"I'm sorry, but no. Leaving isn't really an option right now. I need you to talk to me."

"I..."
