Do you think I'm weird?

-6- Abduction

The doorbell rings, again.

"We got a lot of guests, today..." cheerfully says Midoriya, getting to the door but, as he opens it, his cheerful expression falters at the sight of three individuals standing outside.

One seems to be a police officer, while the other two look very formal and have a stone cold expression in their faces. Before Midoriya could even greet them, one of the men speaks up.

"Midoriya Izuku-kun?" he brusquely asks.

Midoriya's unease grows as he nods hesitantly. His mind races, trying to figure out what this could be about.

"We have received information that Todoroki Shouto-kun is here," continues the man, his piercing gaze fixed on Midoriya's face. "is that true?"

"Um... y-yes Shou... I mean, Todoroki-kun is here... but... um..." stutters Midoriya, feeling a knot form in his stomach. "but... why?..."

In the meantime Todoroki, hearing someone saying his name got closer to see who's looking for him.

As soon as he sees the two men in suits, a look of terror crosses his face and he stumbles backwards, falling onto the floor, his eyes wide open, terrorized. "No..." He mutters under his breath... "No..."

Midoriya mind is swirling in confusion -Who are them...-

"We are Todoroki-kun's caretakers." Coldly says one of the men, as catching Midoriya's thought. "After the recent problem at school, we got instruction by his father to take him into custody."

"No... please... no..." Todoroki whimpers, crouched on the floor, his voice barely above a whisper.

Alarmed by Todoroki's reaction, Kirishima boldly confronts the man who has spoken.

"You don't have any right to drag Todoroki out of here against his will!" He says defiantly.

"Yes kid, we have." Says the men coldly. "The officer here is granting that everything will be done according to the law."

Midoriya stands frozen in fear and confusion. What could possibly be going on? "What are you going to do to Shouto-kun?!" He blurts out.

"It's none of your concern kid," one of the men replied annoyedly.

"Anyways," the other man interjects, "as you can see, Todoroki-kun has a mental condition. He is going to be properly treated in a suitable facility."

"No... no..." pleaded Todoroki, desperately gazing at his friends. "They are going to lock me up... They'll drug me!... They'll hurt me!... Please... Not again..."

"Come on kid, " says the man standing in front of him in a dismissive tone, "let's make it easy. Come with us without making a fuss, it's for your own sake."

"No... please... no..." Todoroki clutches his arms around his chest, his voice just a whisper.

Midoriya manages to step in front of the men, arms spread wide "I... I... won't let you hurt my friend," He says trying to sound resolute, but his voice is shaking as his legs. "please leave this house." he adds.

"Kid..." Says the man in an irritated tone. "As the officer here can explain you, we have a mandate to take Todoroki-kun into custody. So please, stay out of this."

"No!" shouts Midoriya fiercely. "I won't let you harm my friend."

"Fine. Let's make it quick," replies the man and, with a nod to his partner, they barge into the house without even bothering to take off their shoes.
