ship: shoto todoroki + eijiro kirishima.

DISCLAIMER - MIGHT BE SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6/7, READ WITH CAUTION. KIRISHIMA AND TODOROKI ARE ALSO ALREADY DATING IN THIS UNIVERSE <3

The common room was bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, the hues of orange and pink casting long shadows across the floor. The atmosphere was heavy with the weight of recent events. The battle had taken its toll on everyone, leaving scars both visible and unseen.

Shoto Todoroki stood alone by one of the large windows, his gaze distant as he watched the horizon. The revelation about Dabi – his brother – still echoed in his mind, a haunting reminder of his fractured family. The usually stoic hero felt more isolated than ever, despite the comforting familiarity of the common room.

Eijiro Kirishima entered quietly, his eyes immediately finding Shoto. The sight of his boyfriend standing there, looking so lost and vulnerable, tugged at his heart. Kirishima's own wounds were still healing, but the emotional scars seemed to hurt more. He took a deep breath, steeling himself, and walked over to Shoto.

"Hey," Kirishima said softly, placing a hand on Shoto's shoulder.

Shoto turned, his expression softening slightly at the sight of Kirishima. "Hey."

They stood in silence for a moment, the unspoken understanding between them filling the space. Kirishima could see the turmoil in Shoto's eyes, the pain of recent revelations and the weight of the battle they had fought. He wished he could take it all away, make everything better for the person he loved.

"Shoto," Kirishima began, his voice gentle, "you don't have to go through this alone. I'm here, okay? We'll get through this together."

Shoto's gaze returned to the window, his eyes glistening. "It's just... everything's so messed up, Eijiro. Finding out about Dabi, my family, all of it. I don't know how to process any of this."

Kirishima's heart ached for Shoto. He reached up, cupping Shoto's face in his hands. "I know it's a lot. And it's okay to feel lost. But you're not alone. I'm here with you, and we'll face this together, no matter what."

Shoto leaned into Kirishima's touch, drawing comfort from the warmth and strength he found there. "Thank you, Eijiro. I don't know what I'd do without you."

Kirishima smiled softly, pressing a gentle kiss to Shoto's forehead. "You'll never have to find out. I promise."

They stood there for a moment longer, finding solace in each other's presence. But as the silence stretched on, the weight of everything that had happened began to crush Kirishima's resolve. He tried to stay strong for Shoto, but the emotional burden was too much.

"I-I can't take it anymore," Kirishima choked out, his voice breaking. "Seeing you hurt like this, knowing what you're going through, what everyone's going through... it's tearing me apart."

Tears welled up in Kirishima's eyes, and he couldn't hold them back any longer. He broke down, sobbing against Shoto's shoulder. "I'm so scared, Shoto. Scared for you, scared for us. Everything's so messed up, and I don't know how to fix it."

Shoto wrapped his arms around Kirishima, holding him tightly. It was rare to see Kirishima so vulnerable, and it broke his heart. "Eijiro... it's okay. We'll get through this. Together."

They clung to each other, finding strength in their shared vulnerability. The battle had left them both scarred, but their love remained unbroken, a beacon of hope in the darkness. As the sun set outside, casting a warm glow over them, they knew that they would face whatever came next side by side, their hearts intertwined and unbreakable.
