My Love, Mine All Mine- Izuku Midoriya X Reader

25- You Can't Run Forever

Summary: Yours and Ida's match gets pretty wild. (Also, I accidentally switched around Ida's match with you and Izuku's match with Shoto, so Shoto and Izuku's will come after instead)

~Y/n Todoroki~

"Um..I'm really proud of you?" Izuku said as he met you in the 1A prep room.

You had gone there to clear your mind, because you knew that Ida would probably put up a pretty good fight.

"Oh hush, you know that was probably the easiest fight I've ever had," you sighed, messing with your hands on the table in front of you.

He sat down across from you, tilting his head down to meet your eyes.

"You okay?" he asked, concern lacing his tone.

"Not really. Earlier, Bakugo pulled me aside..." you trailed off.

His eyebrows furrowed. "How come? Usually when Kacchan tries to have a civil conversation with someone it doesn't end out too well," he laughed lightly.

You chuckled.

"Yeah, I can see why. But all he said to me was that he wanted me to beat Ida so that he can beat me, but I don't even think I'll even beat Shoto," you said.

"Well, it's nice to know you have such faith that I'll beat him, Y/n," he laughed lightly.

Oh shit, now you remembered.

"Oh, sorry, Izuku. I totally forgot you were going up against him first. I'm just- really nervous, I guess," you sighed.

He smiled softly and grabbed both of your hands, cradling them gently in his own, coursing his thumb on the back of your palm.

You blushed and looked up at him.

"It's okay. I know you'll do great, Y/n. You always have, always will, okay?" Izuku said, his voice soft and genuine and sweet like honey dripping from a spoon.

You smiled, your face heating up at his soft touch and kind words.

"Okay. Thank you, Izuku."

-

"Remember what I said, okay?" he asked you as he waved goodbye at the exit of the tunnel. You nodded and watched as he walked off, Present Mic's voice immediately filling the arena in front of you.

"Alright, listeners! We are onto the second round! And our first match! We've got the returning water bender with an attitude like no other, Y/n Todoroki!" Mic announced.

You walked out, the crowd going wild at your suddenly serious face.

Ida had already been humiliated, so he was embarrassed when he walked out.

You both readied your quirks.

"Put up a good fight, Ida!"

"I will!"

"3!"

You, once again, took a deep breath, calming your nerves.

"2!"

Your eyes met Izuku's in the stands, and he nodded at you with a wide smile.

"1!"

Ida's engines revved.

"GO!"

And with that, Ida wasted no time in running towards you, his engines blazing as he cut through the air, barreling towards you.

You quickly sidestepped out of the way.

He stopped as fast as he could and turned back around, coming back towards you.

So turns are his weakness? Light work.

As he ran back at you, you shot water under his feet, creating a slippery surface under them, his engines still running and propelling him forward.

Once he reached a dryer part of the concrete, he stopped.

He was panting heavily.

You looked at him, and shot a fierce wave of water towards him.

He dove straight through it, using his engines to propel him through the water.

But when he got out, soaked, he went to rev up his engines again, and they sputtered.

"Dammit!" he shouted.

You smirked and walked towards him.

You cupped your hand in water and went to punch his stomach, when he grabbed your hand and twisted it, a pop sounding from your arm.

"Ow, fuck!"

"Ooh that looked like it hurt!" Present Mic yelled in the mic.

You raised your foot up to kick him in his side but he stopped it with his other hand, your balance being tested.

His other arm was still holding your arm, and the other your leg, so you took the chance to sock him right in the face with your other fist, your knuckles burning from the force.

He let go of both your arm and leg and you stood properly, starting your quirk back up again.

You began to shoot sphere-like water at Ida, hitting him square in his face, knocking his glasses off.

You threw your arm forward, the water moving with it as it hit him again, this time with so much force that it pushed him backwards.

He got his engines working again and he ran out of your reach.

"Oh come on, Ida, you can't run forever!" you yelled, sending bigger blasts of water at him, the audience shouting happily.

He didn't verbally respond but ran at you once more, this time, a lot quicker, managing to kick you straight in the stomach, sending you flying towards the bounds line.

You quickly conjured water behind you, cushioning you in your fall and also stopping you from going out of bounds.

You stopped moving for a moment, trying to desperately fill your empty lungs with air.

"Giving up so soon, Todoroki?" Ida asked, running towards you once again.

He jumped up and swung his leg, but you ducked underneath it.

"Not a chance!" you yelled, and just like at USJ, you sculpted a hand out of the water that you could, wrapping it's large fingers around Ida and throwing him so hard that he hit the wall below the stands, falling to the ground, unconscious.

"Ida is out of bounds. Todoroki moves on to the next round!" Midnight yells, cracking her whip.

The crowd cheered as your vision went blurry, and the voices around you sounded like they were under water.

You dropped to your knees, your throat closing up as it went dry, your hands shaking as you clawed helplessly at your throat, as if it would open your airways.

"Hey, someone help her!" A familiar, frantic voice shouted from the stands.

Your eyes closed as the upper half of your body made contact with the concrete, cold and hard, into a rest.
