Todoroki x Y/N: Femme Reader

16: The Bag

God. I feel so awful for being so cruel to Todoroki. I have to get to the table and find out what he got me. God. Why did I kick him out? Why did I make him leave? What did I do? Why did I do that? I start crying as I push the wheelchair toward the table. I grab the bag and open it.

I gasp. It's a photo album? Wait. There's a note. 

To my Snowflake,

Happy 16th birthday, love. I took these pictures over the past few weeks of our relationship. I wanted you to have a reminder of all our happy memories. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love you so much and all I want to do is to make you happy. I also had some of the others in our class send me pictures that they liked of us to put in here. This way you'll always have me.

Love,

Your Peppermint.

That is so sweet. I take the photo album out of the bag. There's a giant picture of Todoroki kissing me on the cover. I almost start crying just looking at the cover. Then I opened it. There are so many photos in here. There's one of us on our first date at the little soba shop in town. There's one of us just being goofy. There are so many happy memories in here. God. I started crying. How could I have kicked him out of my dorm like that? He's just made me so happy and he's not here to see it because I was so angry. I completely regret what I did. How could I have yelled at him?

I want to call him but I think it'd be best if I gave him some space right now to cool down. He's probably so upset with me right now. Way to go idiot. I mentally kick myself for not hearing him out.

I decide to text Uraraka. I really need another girl in my dorm right now. Thankfully, she gets here in a flash.

"I got here as fast as I could. Are you okay? When you texted me you said it was an emergency. Is everything alright?"

That just made me break down again.

"Hey. Hey. Everything's okay. Why don't you tell me about it?"

After I finish explaining.

"Wow. It sounds like you've been through a lot tonight."

"You could say that again. I can't believe I kicked him out like that. He just wanted to surprise me for my birthday."

"I know. I know you couldn't help being angry. He didn't tell you anything?"

"No. He didn't tell me that he was going to be later than he thought he was. I was so angry. I told him to leave. I told him that I didn't want to see him right now."

"Well, I can understand why you were angry. I really can. But I think you both could use some space from one another right now. Just until you've collected yourselves. That way, when you're both feeling better, you can talk things out and you can apologize for reacting the way you did. If he really loves you, he'll accept your apology. The pain might still be there for a little while. It doesn't go away instantly. But things will get better for you guys over time."

"You're right Ochaco. Thank you. For being here."

"We're friends, right? Friends support friends."

"Yeah. Um... Actually... Speaking of being friends. Do you think you could stay here tonight? I really don't feel like being alone right now."

"Sure. I'll just sleep on the couch. But first, let's get you into PJs and bed. Come on."

She wheels me back toward my bed and helps me into it. Then I tell her where my pajamas are and she helps me get changed. I thank her and lay down to go to sleep. She smiles and turns off the light. Then she heads to the couch and falls asleep there. 

I just hope that these next few days get better.
