More Than Anything - A Todomomo fanfic

Fear

~Momo~

He rejected me.

Above all, this fact haunts my mind the most. I ignore the several (hundred) texts from my girlfriends who want to know how it went.

We had a good time, I tried to kiss him and he ran away from me, I think.

And everything was perfect. Just when I start to think I understand Shoto, he does something like this.

Well, I never asked... maybe he thought we weren't there yet.

Agh, he's so dense he probably doesn't know what he thought! 

I pick my pillow up, slam my face into it and scream into the fabric and cotton. I don't cry, but I do feel like crying.

It would've been so wonderful if he let me...

Then I drift off into a fantasy.

~Shoto~

What the hell is wrong with me?!!

Why did I run away from Yaoyorozu?

Why am I so afraid of kissing Yaoyorozu?

So many questions, so few answers.

"WHERE WERE YOU?!"

Hello, Father.

"Where were you yesterday?!! If it's that Yaoyorozu again, I will--"

"What? What are you going to do? Hurt me? Hurt her? Yes, I was with Yaoyorozu! She's my friend and I enjoy her company!"

He lifts his hand and backhands me across the face. I cringe at the pain, but I'm slowly adjusting to it. I topple over and grip the bedframe to keep from falling over.

This bastard...

"Don't ever talk back to me again, Shoto." That's all he says before leaving.

I hate him.

A few moments after Father's gone, Fuyumi rushes in and drops to her knees, hugging me to her chest and crying. Fuyumi cries so easily, I never cry.

Nothing Father does is shocking enough to make me cry.

~Momo~

I walk to school angry. I ate breakfast angry, brushed my teeth angry, put my shoes on angry. I've been angry all day.

Angry at Todoroki.

I'm so mad that I sit next to him now.

"Hey, Yaoyorozu!" 

I ignore Jiro.

"Whassup, Yaoyorozu?"

I ignore Kirishima.

"What the hell is wrong with you today, Ponytail?"

I do something that I do everyday.

"What's going on, Yao-Momo?" Uraraka sits beside me during lunch.

"Nothing," I answer.

"That's not true. You've been scowling at everyone today and ignoring people! That's not normal behavior for anyone besides Bakugo!" Jiro exclaims.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Please, Yaoyorozu-chan, this is us we're talking about! Your girls! We won't tell anyone, will we ladies?" Ashido says.
