Bzzz Bzzz

The faint sound coming from an alarm clock could be heard a few meters away, waking the sleeping boy from his, rather uncomfortable slumber. As a stinging pain suddenly shot through his already damaged rib, up his torso and towards his head. Heterochromia eyes openend slightly, meeting with the slight sunrays, that had slipped past the closed curtains.

Bzzz Bzzz

The sound didn't seem to stop, as he tried to locate were the sound were coming from. Until his eyes landed on the bed, that were placed about three meters away. He got up from the floor, feeling the pain spread throughout his back, before it continued to his legs. While his eyes suddenly went blurred, black dots began blocking his vision as his head started spinning.

He let a hand grab at the closet beside him, while trying to colect his thoughts, aswell as his head. When his head finally seemed to stop spinning, the only thing left to do were moving to from his closet to his bed. Which were probably easier said than done.

His right leg were about to give out, on the very first step he took, but quickly returned to normal as he straightend his back a bit. He made it to his bed, only to realise he couldn't see his phone anywhere. Where could it be then? He were pretty sure that the sound came from here..

Bzzz Bzzz

The sound continued making him slightly irritated, as his head hurt like hell. He let out a sigh, as he were about to admit defeat. Until he saw just the smallest bit of light, from under his pillow. He moved the pillow to find his phone, annoyingly still ringing. He turned off the alarm, as he now understood why the alarm seemed so muffled. Though he didn't remember placing it under his pillow...

He turned on his phone, as his password were entered. Only to realise that his phone had been blowing up in the night. 

Messages from his classmates popped on the screen, even some from Mr. Aizawa came up. Though he didn't have even the slightest idea of why, until he began looking through some of the messages..

Midoriya: Where are you Todoroki-kun? It's time for breakfast.                                                                     

9:05 am

Midoriya: Todoroki-kun? You there?

9:12 am

Iida: You should really be getting down stairs soon, Midoriya is freaking out.

9:45 am

Todoroki read through the messages, most of them being about him coming down stairs to eat. Until one name caught his attention. Bakugou.

He didn't even realise Bakugou had his number.. but they never texted anyway, so that's probably why.

Bakugou: OI, GET YOUR STUPID ASS DOWNSTAIRS! THE IDIOTS ARE FREAKING OUT BECAUSE YOU HAVENT CHECKED YOUR PHONE, IN OVER FIVE HOURS!

01:18 pm

Five hours?

It took a moment for the message to sink into the two toned boys mind. How long had he been asleep? He swiped down slightly on his phone, to check the time, only to realise it were already past 2.pm. He mentally cursed himself, as he quickly turned off his phone, and got ready to change.

...

Todoroki made his way down to the common rooms, after having a rather hard time changing his clothing, because of the overwhelming pain he felt constantly. He were about a few meters from the entrance, when he heard the sound of a really angry blonde.

"IM SAYING THAT HE ALREADY CHECKED THE MESSAGE, BUT LEFT ME ON READ!" Bakugous voice could be heard, coming from the couch area. While different voices could be heard trying to calm him down. Probably Kirishima and the others.

The dual haired boy took a deep breath, as he prepared himself for the possible death that could be awaiting him, before he made his way inside of the common rooms. "Todoroki-kun!" He looked towards the kitchen, where Midoriya could be seen running towards him. He stopped barely a few centimeters away, before crashing.

He looked to the side, seeing Iida walking towards him aswell with Aizawa by his side. Todoroki let out a sigh, as he weren't prepared for another scolding. "I were so worried, you didn't answer your phone. And then-" Midoriya began rambling, so Todoroki just let his voice pass right through him, as his attention were at the teacher and the other classmate beside him, that had just arrived beside the rambling greenette.

"Problem child.." The sound of the raven haired teacher, instantly cut Midoriya off, as he quietly apologized, before making his way towards their other classmates placed on the different couches. Iida seemed to think for a moment, before also making his way over to the couches, not saying even a single word.

Todoroki looked up at the teacher, as he probably already knew what were awaiting. "Your classmates called me, saying that you didn't come down to eat" Todoroki just looked at him, a dumbfounded expression placed on his face. He were asleep.. how were he suposed to realise that his classmates had called for him?

"They also told me that they had tried openening your door, but it were frozen to the ground" Wait.. what? He didn't remember freezing it. It were true that he used to freeze his door every now and then, but it mainly happened at his 'home'. Because his 'father' had this weird idea that he had to be on guard at all times, which let to his father waking him for training every now and then. It had stopped though, after his 'father' realised he could just freeze and lock the door to keep him away. And eventhough he could of easily melted it, he chose not to. He were grateful though, as he had a bit more privacy after his 'father' stopped waking him at night.

But something still caught his mind. Where were the ice when he woke up? Had he melted it before becoming consious?

He looked back towards his teacher, only to realise that Aizawa seemed to be waiting for an answer. The dual haired boy didn't say anything though, just letting his gaze wander towards the floor, as he tried to collect his thoughts of the previous events.

"Also, why didn't you answer my texts?" Todoroki looked up from the ground, meeting his teachers rather concerned gaze. A confused expression plastered on the youngers own face, as he tilted his head slightly, before fishing up his phone from his pocket. Only to see the messages from his teacher.

Aizawa: Midoriya called me in distress, saying something about your door being frozen. Could you tell me what that were about?

10:08 am

Aizawa: If you don't come down and eat soon, the idea of a tube going through your stomach will soon become reality.

10:34 am

He gulped slightly at the last one, as he began typing on the phone.

Todoroki: Since i cannot speak, i will be writing here.

02:26 pm

He send the message and waitied for his teacher, to look at his phone and read it. When Aizawa had given him a confirming nod, he continued.

Todoroki: I were asleep, and didn't realise how late it had become. I also didn't realise that i had frozen my door shut, i apologize.

02:27 pm

He send the message, and waited for Aizawa to reply. When the teacher looked up from the phone, he had an understanding expression plastered on his face. "I understand". Todoroki nodded at his teacher, as he waited for this conversation to be over with.

"That's all" Todoroki looked at his teacher one last time for confirmation, before making his way towards the kitchen area. Only to be stopped by the sound of his teacher ones again sounding from behind him. Though this time, the words that left the teachers lips, made his stomach curl in on itself-

"Also, i think you realised something were missing. And your not getting those razors back"
