Am I A Monster?

Chapter 5

A few minutes passed, I’m guessing my siblings, along with my old man and Midoriya, were still in disbelief by the incident.
Until I heard the door open, without a knock…
“Todoroki,” I heard a soothing voice say. I looked up from my pillow, both dried and wet tears all over my face. “What happened back there? Did you… mean what you said?”
“... I guess…” I looked down, wanting to cry more, but didn’t since I didn’t wanna look too weak in front of my crush. He sat down next to me.
“I’m happy you at least got it out, and to be honest, your family is in a lot of disbelief… including your father… he also seemed quite guilty of what he told you…” I got angry at the extra comment.
“I don’t care about what that old man thinks,” I told him truthfully. Midoriya gave me a sad expression.
“That isn’t the point, I’m telling you that… you should’ve told someone sooner…” I looked down.
“Well it isn’t easy telling someone, and I didn’t mean to reveal that about myself, it just kinda… slipped…” I continued looking down, Midoriya still seeming sad.
“I know…” was all he said before bringing me into his embrace. I’m not sure why, but it felt safe. I felt safer than I felt in a long time, and I loved the feeling.
When he let go of me, he was still close to me, making my face heat up slightly.
“M-Midoriya?” I asked.
“Please, if anything is ever bothering you, tell me, please. Don’t hide it,” he said, and without letting me answer, pressed his lips against mine. Many thoughts ran through my mind, me being too surprised to even kiss him back.
When he pulled away, he looked at me in the eyes, me blushing.
“O-Okay,” I told him. His face was also quite red. He seemed kinda nervous, and took a deep breath, like he was gonna tell me something.
“I-I love you, and I don’t wanna see you like this,” he said kinda quickly, although I could still make out his words. My face heated up slightly more, which I didn’t know was possible.
“R-Really?” I questioned, still in disbelief. “B-But… why would you love someone like me…”
“Someone like you? You mean someone as sweet and kind as you? Someone as amazing and beautiful as you? Someone as cute and hot as you?” He blushed at the last part.
“But… I have so many issues in my life… I’m distant from everyone, and my father doesn’t help with that. I also have a big and ugly scar on my face, and my appearance is weird… not to mention the whole vampire thing…” I was looking down while saying this, since it would hurt me even more to see Midoriya’s sad expression. I could sense he was sad, which made me sad, but seeing his expression would be worse.
“First of all, you can’t help that you’re distant, that’s just who you are. Your issues can get better if you let me help you, and your scar and appearance makes you beautiful and unique in so many amazing ways. And with the vampire thing, I don’t care what you are, focus on who you are, which is what I love about you. You’re unique, of course, in an amazing way, which is why I love you.” My eyes were wide by this point.
“You… actually meant that…?” I asked. I wanted to believe him, although it was difficult when you always thought that you were ugly and useless and a burden your whole life.
“Of course, Todoroki-”
“You can call me Shoto,” I blurted, making him blush a bit. The surprised blushing turned into a soft and kind smile afterwards.
“Okay, Shoto, then you can call me Izuku,” he told me back.
“Can I call you Izu instead?” I asked quietly.
“Of course, you can call me anything you want,” he said smiling. I smirked.
“Alright then, cutie,” I said, making him blush. His whole face was red, making him even more adorable.
“Shoto,” he said, flustered, making me giggle.
“Did yall confess yet?” Touya walked in, Natsuo and Fuyumi behind him. We both turned to look at him, Izu still blushing.
“I mean… it isn’t official but…” Izu turned to look at me. “Would you like to be my boyfriend?” He said shyly. My heart was beating fast, to the point where I could hear it. I was also surprised by this, not expecting him to actually ask this. I smiled, saying the only thing I could think of.
“Yes, I’d love to be your boyfriend,” I said smirking, Fuyumi fantasizing while watching us.
“Well that was beautiful, and don’t worry, Midoriya kid, I give you my blessing to marry him,” Touya smirked.
“Same here,” Natsuo chimed in, Fuyumi nodding in excitement as she was too excited to say anything. I sat there, just blushing and looking away from everyone. Izu was also blushing and freaking out on the inside.
“W-We just became a couple, isn’t it a b-bit too soon for marriage,” Izu stuttered.
“You’re cute,” I blurted, turning to him by this point. He blushed even more, hiding his face in his hands. I giggled, pulling his hands away from his face and looking into his beautiful, big green eyes.
“Okay everyone, leave the lovebirds alone,” Touya announced, pushing Natsuo and Fuyumi back while closing the door behind him. I continued staring into Izu’s eyes, him as well, blushing while doing so.
I pressed my lips against his, him kissing back as our lips perfectly moved in sync. I could hear his heartbeat racing, although mine was as well as our lips continued moving with each other’s.
We finally pulled away, Izu blushing more than ever, making him, of course, more cute. I didn’t know he could be cuter until now.
“Okay,” he started after calming down a bit. “We should go explain to everyone since your 2 siblings are probably so confused with everything.” I had to agree with him on this one.
“Okay fine, but this continues later,” I smirked, him blushing a lot.
“F-Fine…” he said, making me satisfied. We both got up from the bed, opening the door as we, again, left my room.
“You guys done being lovey-dovey now?” Touya asked, his arms crossed. Izu was still blushing.
“Yes dumbass, we’re done,” I rolled my eyes, him as well.
“So… what’s with the new look?” Fuyumi stepped forward, breaking our little feud. I took a deep breath, not wanting to explain, although her and Natsuo needed answers from the last 3 weeks.
“So… when I took my trip to get my soba… I kinda took a detour into an alleyway, and got bit by a vampire on the way home…” I admitted, looking down the whole time.
“So that’s why you look all dark and scary,” Natsuo realized, Fuyumi hitting his shoulder to keep down on the snarky comments. It made me feel a bit bad because of the way he worded it, ‘dark’ and ‘scary’...
“So why did you hide it?” Fuyumi asked curiously.
“Because I thought everyone would hate me… I mean, I came so far and actually learned to make friends and stuff, and… I didn’t want them all to be scared of me…”
“Why didn’t you tell your family at least though? We could’ve helped you,” Fuyumi questioned more. I hesitated on answering this, but they all deserved answers right now, and I already had so much out. It didn’t seem to matter whether I hid anything from them or not.
“... I thought you’d all be scared of me… and not want me anymore… I thought I’d be either abused more, or kicked out of the family…” I told them truthfully. I hadn’t told anyone this yet, and even Touya seemed sad and surprised by this. I mean, I told Touya that I thought they’d be scared of me, but not the fact that I thought I’d be kicked out of the family.
“Shoto no, you’d never be kicked out of the family first of all, and secondly, we have no reason to be scared of you,” Fuyumi said.
“So what you’re basically saying, is that you’re a vampire now, and you drink blood, and you thought we’d be scared of you… for what reason?” Natsuo questioned.
“I thought you’d be scared of me because… I have to drink blood now…” I told them. They still seemed confused, rightfully so. Izu was next to me also, holding my hand the entire time which helped comfort me a bit.
I didn’t tell them (yet) that the hunger from starving was painful and difficult to control, although I could predict the future (not really) that they were gonna question more.
“There’s no reason for us to be scared of you just because you have to drink blood to survive, that’s just stupid, plain stupid,” Natsuo said, crossing his arms. Fuyumi smacked him on the shoulder again.
“You don’t understand though…” I muttered. They seemed more confused. “The pain from starvation… hurts… and it gets difficult to control…”
“What are you saying because I’m totally lost here,” Touya asked.
“Well, during the 3 weeks, the pain got worse from starvation… it gives me urges to bite people, kinda like visions…”
“Kinky,” Natsuo smirked, Fuyumi, once again, smacking him.
“Shut up,” I told him. I could sense Izu start to blush. I turned to him. “Ignore his dumb comments,” I told him.
“Okay,” he simply replied.
“Anyways, before I was rudely interrupted,” I looked at Natsuo, everyone else as well as he just giggled. “The visions just… come into my mind whenever I smell blood… It’s something I can’t really control, and it’s very annoying… I have to try and think of other things to block out the smell of blood, and if I don’t… I’d end up attacking someone without even knowing until I was finished with them…” I told everyone, looking down. They all seemed shocked by this. “That’s why… I thought you’d all be scared of me…”
“Understandable…” Fuyumi said softly. Izu clutched onto my hand firmer, me turning to him.
“You alright,” I asked Izu quietly.
“Yeah… It’s just nerve racking…” he said without eye-contact.
“It’s worse for me,” I told him straight out.
“Well I know that but still… I’m worried about how they’ll all react to what you said…” he stated. I was also kinda worried.
“I am too… but there’s not much we can do about it now,” I told him truthfully. He just nodded.
“So… have you had blood?” Fuyumi questioned. I stayed quiet, and nodded. “Recently?” I nodded again. “So… you’re okay right now?”
“Well, the hunger still lingers, but it isn’t painful like before. It’s probably normal to be hungry as a vampire, it’d at least make sense…” I stated, still not making eye contact with anyone.
“Makes sense…” Natsuo commented. Silence. Pure silence filled the room, me becoming more afraid of what would happen next. I had no clue what was gonna come next, or what was gonna be said next. I was scared, scared that my siblings were now scared of me, besides maybe Touya. I hated thinking of that though, so I tried to stay positive… although I failed miserably.
I took a step back, kinda wanting to run away from this whole situation. I felt kinda uncomfortable, like something bad was gonna happen. I didn’t like the feeling, taking another step back from the scene.
