Todoroki knew he should've taken his suppressants this morning.
He tries not to take them too regularly since he knows they're not good for him but he's just too scared of actually dropping that he can't easily disregard them.
So he takes them only when he feels he might slip that day.
Today was one of those 'maybe' days but he had already slept through his alarm three times and he couldn't find his tie and today was trash day so he had to pull his bag out of the trash can to take out so he just didn't have enough time to think about it.
Which was the wrong move considering today he most definitely should've taken one.
It didn't help that last period, he was in a group with Midoriya and Momo, both presented Caregivers, and their scents were driving him up the wall.
Midoriya with his comforting pine tree scent that carried a comforting freshness and serenity and Momo's scent of freshly brewed tea with just a bit of milk and honey added.
It was unbearable.
Todoroki is lucky he didn't drop hard right then and there. Fortunately, or unfortunately, years of training to suppress those instincts were quite literally beat into him so he was able to keep his Little side at bay.
He didn't have much time though.
He'd even forgotten a scent patch this morning.
Today was just a disaster.
He just needs to get to his room and take a suppressant and he'll be fine.
He just needs to--
"Hey! Todoroki-kun, wanna come study with us?" Midoriya asked as he gently tapped Todoroki's shoulder.
The half-and-half boy flinched in surprise, making the greenette take a quick step back.
"Whoops, sorry to scare you." He said apologetically.
Todoroki just took a breath, "I can't, I have to finish something else." He answered, hoping Midoriya couldn't hear the nervousness and urgency in his voice.
"Oh okay, well we'll be in Iida's room if you wanna join." Midoriya said before jogging ahead.
Maybe Todoroki should've said yes. Midoriya sounded pretty disappointed. And Todoroki really likes spending time with his friends.
Hmm.
Todoroki absent mindedly brought a hand to his face but suddenly realized what he was doing, stopping himself before he could stick his thumb in his mouth. He has the worst habit of that while he thought hard about stuff. Even when he takes his suppressants.
He needs to hurry up and get to his room.
Hopefully nobody could tell he was in a rush, he felt like everyone was staring as he burst through the main doors of the dorm building and made a b-line for the elevator.
He could already feel his mind getting fuzzy. And his clothes starting to feel too stiff and scratchy and the fluorescent lights of the elevator buzzing and blinking. And--
The door slid open and he rushed to his room, accidentally slamming his door behind him.
He let out a small breath of relief.

أدب الهواةClassification au! Todoroki already knew what his results would be. So why is his heart pounding? Why are his palms sweating? Maybe it's the fact that it's been drilled into his head that Littles can't be heroes. But maybe, just maybe, he can learn...
