Todoroki POV

I walk into the apartment to see Kats and Ei's shoes. I guess they beat me home. "I'm home!" I shout as I take my shoes off at the door.

"Fucking finally. I'm starving. What took you so long? Did you get lost? Or did you have another meet and greet at one of the food places" I can't currently tell if he's joking with me.

"Mmm sounds like you're not hungry. I can just throw your spicy curry in the trash then if you don't want it" I say back with an attitude.

"You. Wouldn't. Dare. Icyhot" he says.

"Wanna try me?" I question back. The attitude still lingering.

"Sho are you okay? You've got an attitude." Ei says making me snap out of it. "Yeah. Sorry. Long day." I respond back, handing them their food. "You wanna tell us about it?" We sit down on the couch, as we all eat our food.

"Well I saw Momo today. Actually more like I specifically asked to meet up with her before my appointment." I start out. "Is that why you rushed out of the door" Ei questions. "Yep. Also... I might've mentioned us..." I say back Shyly. "Great. Now this Saturday we'll be bombarded with questions. Just what I need is a drunk Kaminari asking us about our sex life" Kats says rolling his eyes. I kick him slightly in his side. "Shut up and let me finish talking" I say back with the attitude slightly coming back. "Midoriya was supposed to come with Momo. But you know. Pro hero work" I continue. "Fucking Deku. Blowing you off. That's shitty" Kats says again. I kick him again. "Stop. This weird rival thing with him needs to end." I say. "It will end. When he gives up and gives me #1 hero." Kats says. "Ugh here we go again" Ei says. "Kats. We're supposed to be listening to Sho." "Fine. Fine. What else happened?"

"Trace said she's happy for me. After I told her about the three of us." I say with a slight smile. "Yeah?" Ei says. "Is it weird telling people you have two boyfriends?" His question somehow catches me off guard. "Mmm no. It's cute. I like telling people. Although it seems everyone was kinda waiting for it to happen" I say taking a bite of my food. "Oh. Uhm... Trace and Dr. Sinclair are going to clear me for field work..." I say in a whisper, knowing Kats won't take it well.

"What the fuck did you just say?" Kats says trying not to choke on his food.

"I'm getting cleared for field work again." I say. This time it's more confident.

"That's great, Sho! I'm so happy. You're gonna do what you love again!" Ei says, hitting Kats. I can see Ei make a face at Kats.

"Kats..." I put my food on the table in front of us and wrap my arms around him nuzzling into his neck. "I'm gonna be okay. You know I'm gonna be okay" I whisper to him. I know he's upset with the news. "You can't keep me locked up forever babe."

"Like hell I can't." He responds.
"No you can't. I'm still a pro hero too. I deserve to be out there with you. With Midoriya. With Ei." I say letting go of him. "I didn't go through UA or all this therapy to end up doing paperwork for the rest of my life. I want this." I can feel my body temperature heat up. If I don't calm down I'm gonna accidentally destroy the apartment.
"Fine. Do whatever you want. But don't expect me to be there next time things go bad. It's not gonna be like last time."
"You don't mean that." Ei says interjecting.
"Try me" he says looking me in my eyes before he storms off and slams his room door.
I start cleaning up everything and put the leftovers in the fridge.
"I'll talk to him." Ei says to me.
"No. Don't. Just leave him be. He'll come around. You know how he is. He needs his alone time to think." I respond back. "He's just scared. I know that what happened last time scared you both. I get it. I was scared when Kats got kidnapped. I thought we'd never see him again." I start to tear up. "But heroes is what we chose to do. This is our work. Sometimes it gets messy. Sometimes scary things happen. But that doesn't mean we should just stop. Kats didn't stop after he got kidnapped. I shouldn't have stopped after what happened to me. I agreed to paperwork duties for Kats. Because I know he's scared. But the longer it takes me to get back out into the field, the longer he's going to be scared. I need to go back. It's time."

"When did you get so wise and mature, Sho?" Ei says pulling me into a hug.
"Again, you can thank Trace" I laugh.
"Anything else happen today?" Ei says wrapping his arms around my neck.
"Mmm I met a little boy. At the mall. He's the one that actually recognized me and caused the crazy meet and greet." I laugh again. "He told me I'm his favorite hero. And that my quirk is 'awesome'. It was nice. For some reason I missed the interactions with the fans. He got all excited when I told him Deku is a personal friend."

"Sounds like you had a great day, babe" Ei says pulling me into a kiss.

"Yeah I did." I say back.
"I have a headache. So I'm gonna go lay down for a bit, okay?" I say again, pulling away from him. "I'll be back out in a little bit."

I go to my room and shut the door and then go into the bathroom and shut that door. I turn the light on and the shower on so they don't hear anything. I slide down the bathroom door and bury my head into my knees as the tears just start falling. Kats and I have fought before. But not like this. I knew he was gonna take it bad. But I can't keep things from him. It wouldn't have been fair. I know he didn't mean what he said. But why did it hurt so bad...

At this point I'm full on sobbing. I'm trying to keep it as quiet as possible. But I don't think I can.
