💜💔(Tododeku) I want to be there for you

(I don't know if this counts as angst, but it's hurt comfort.)

{Deku POV}

It's not uncommon for me to have depressive episodes, but this one was worse than others. Usually I can interact with my friends normally, and just mask it. But this time, I need to be away. And I hate it. I don't like ignoring my friends, but if I talk to anyone, I might just break down in front of them.

I'm currently locked in my dorm room, laying in bed, trying to get these thoughts out of my head. You stole that quirk. One for all isn't yours. You'll never make it your own. It sucks that no one can know about it(We're going to pretend that Bakuhoe doesn't know). I wish I could tell someone.

I feel a few tears fall down my face, and almost as if on cue, I hear a knock on my door. I'm glad that I locked it, I don't want anyone to see me like this, I don't want to push my problems onto my friends. "Midoriya?"

It's Todoroki. He's the person I trust most, and also my crush. I don't know why my brain does this to me, but of course I just had to fall in love with one of my best friends. "What?" I ask, trying not to sound like I was just crying seconds prior.

"You haven't left your room since yesterday, so I made you food. Can I come in?" Kacchan's been teaching him how to cook, and he's gotten pretty good at it. "If you don't want me to come in, I can leave your food outside your door, just please eat."

My stomach grumbles at the thought of food and I sigh. It would be rude to not let him in, but I don't want him to see me like this. I wipe away my tears and try to mask my emotions. I open the door with a smile on my face. "Hello, Todoroki-kun! You can come in if you would like!" I look in his hands and see a big pork cutlet bowl as he walks in.

He closes the door behind him and sighs. "Cut the act, Midoriya. I know you're not okay. No 'okay' person locks themself in their room for 15 hours just because they feel like it. So, what's wrong?"

"I'm just tired."

"Tired of what, exactly?" He questions further as he sets the bowl of food on my desk. And that was my breaking point. I collapse on the floor, tears flooding my eyes. He gently wraps his arms around me as I cry into his shoulder. "It's okay, I'm here. I'm not going to judge you."

He continues to hug me and pet my head for another few minutes. I eventually calmed down enough to talk. "I'm so tired of everything. I'm tired of having to put up a mask all the time. Pretending to be happy, because if I'm not I'm a burden. I don't want to push my problems onto everyone else. I'm so tired of having to keep secrets. I want to tell someone so badly, but I can't."

He kisses the top of my head and pulls away from the hug, still holding my hands. "You should probably eat your food before it gets cold." I nod and stand up.

"Thank you for making me food." I sit on my bed with bowl in hand, and gesture for him to sit next to me. He does so and I start shoveling pork into my mouth, missing the taste of food. Then it hits me. Did he kiss my head? I feel a blush creep up my face.

I finish up my food and set my bowl down. He looks worriedly at me. "Do you want to talk about it?"

I nod my head. "I always feel like I have to keep a smile on my face, because if I don't I'm pushing my problems on everyone else. I need to make sure that everyone else is happy, because if they're not, it's my fault for not noticing. And what kind of symbol of peace would I be if I just let people be not-peaceful?" I was starting to ramble and accidentally let that slip. Crap crap crap!

He doesn't seem to notice my slip-up though. "You're allowed to show emotions, Midoriya. No one feels happy all the time, that's just a fact. And pretending you are, causes yourself more harm than good. Pretending that it doesn't exist doesn't stop your feelings from existing. You need to let people in, please, we want to be there for you. I want to be there for you." He laces his fingers through mine and looks into my eyes.

"You're making it really difficult to not be in love with you right now." I didn't realize what I said, but I smiled. A real, genuine smile. I haven't done that in weeks.

"I love you too, Midoriya." He says in his calming, monotone voice.

"Wait, what?!" I exclaim. "Where did that come from?"

"You just said that I'm making it really difficult for you to not be in love with me. I was telling you that I feel the same."

I took a moment to process this new information. So he feels the same. "So, um... do you want to go on a date sometime?" I ask.

"I would love that." He says, a big smile on his face. "Can I kiss you?"

I cup his cheek with my hand, and pull him into a loving kiss. I gently rub his scar, feeling the warmth radiate off of it. The kiss doesn't last very long, but it lasts long enough for his scar to burst into flames, burning my thumb. "Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!"

"Midoriya, I am so sorry! I haven't lost control of my quirk in years, I don't know why that happened! Come on, let's get you to the bathroom." He says frantically.

He leads me to the sink in my bathroom and turns the tap on.(If you burn yourself, run it under cold water. Don't be an idiot and use ice)I keep it under for a few minutes and laugh quietly. "I can't believe you got so flustered that you lost control of your quirk. I'm definitely writing that down in my notebook."

(Sorry if it sucks, I wrote like half of it in the middle of the night. But this is my first oneshot! I might make a part two to this... but give me suggestions!)
