The Rain: Todoroki x Oc

Chapter 29

(This chapter will be in Todoroki's pov. Enjoy<33)

I ran away from home. It was pouring rain. Tears ran my face as my wet clothes hugged my body. I didn't mind it that much. It was comforting. I love the rain. I hate my father. I don't like a lot of things, but there's just something about the rain...

On rainy days, my father doesn't make me train. He ignores everyone and locks himself in his office. I'm grateful for those days. I'm free. But today... he didn't isolate himself, and it pissed me off. Sometimes, I wish I could drown myself in the rain. Dieing in something you love seems like the best way to die. In my opinion.

I approached the park that I always go to cry. At this point, I wasn't running anymore. There wasn't a point anymore. I climbed up onto the equipment and approached the slide.

A wave of surprise ran over me as I saw a girl laying in the slide. Before I could say anything, she looked up. We made eye contact. There was this certain sadness about her. She seemed lonely.

"Ah- sorry." I backed away. Maybe she needs this slide more than me. I hope she can't tell I'm crying.

"No, it's fine. I was leaving anyway." She said, getting out of the slide. I must've made a face because she spoke again.

"Seriously. I need to finish my school work anyway." She reassured me. I nodded. I stared at her semi wet uniform. Is she in a law school? Is she rich?

She waved and left the park. I waved back, but I don't think she noticed. She oddly reminds me of the rain. She's pretty like the rain. I feel like we're the same. I am glad that she also uses this slide. I'm glad the rain can comfort another person. God, I love the rain.

The next time I saw her was a week or two later. She was walking home from school. It was raining again and she had an umbrella. It wasn't raining hard, so I just wore a jacket.

As we passed, I stared at her. I wasn't trying to be a creep. I was trying to figure out what to say to her. I really want to be her friend. Midoriya taught me what it's like to have friends, so I want the same for her. I smiled internally when she waved to me. At the last second, I grabbed her wrist.

"Thank you..." I mumbled. Really? Thank you was all you could say? I stared at the ground in shame.

"For what?" She asked a bit rudely. Todoroki, look what you did. You messed it up.

"For... giving up the slide. You didn't have to do that." I bowed. She sighed.

"You seemed like you needed it more than me. Don't think too much into it." She turned back around and kept walking home. I watched her until she turned a corner. I hope I run into her again.

The next day, I ran into her again. It turns out she knew Midoriya. Apparently, they were friends in junior high. Her sister was quite rude. She introduced herself. We all did the same.

Once I introduced myself, she did the same thing. Her gaze lingered on me for a bit longer than the others. He name was beautiful, just like her. Yumiko Kisaragi. I hope we can be friends now.

I thought that would be the last time I would run into her for the day, but alas, the universe pushed us together again. My sister gave her a ride home. She complimented her left and right. I stayed silent. I didn't want to ruin the moment. She seemed happy.

I didn't do it on purpose, but I memorized her address. I watched as she entered her home. She lived in a giant house. It's very pretty. Now I know why she goes to such a prestigious school. Her family is loaded. They have lots of influence in the hero world. Maybe that's why she feels lonely...

We ran into each other again while we were both walking to school. Well, more like walking to the train station. I tried to pretend I didn't see her admiring the Sakura trees. Or well... I tried to pretend I didn't see her at all. I didn't want her to think I was a stalker. I also didn't want to embarrass her.

We ended up getting on the same train. We ended up right next to each other. I tried to ignore her yet again. I got on my phone instead. I felt her eyes on me but continued to ignore her. I could tell she was glad. I get it. Social interaction is hard for me as well. We have a lot in common. I wish she knew that. I would like to know more about her.

Once it got to her stop, she got off the train quickly. I don't think she wants to know more about me, though... it's okay. Maybe she just needs a push like I did.

After I finished training at home, I decided to send her a text. Midoriya sent me her number this morning. I was a bit nervous to text her, to be honest.

Todoroki
Hello. It's me, Todoroki.

I stared at my text. Did she receive my text? Maybe she thinks I'm a stalker. She should remember me. I'll text her again.

Todoroki
Midoriya gave me your number.
If you were wondering.

There. She shouldn't think I'm a stalker now. I stared at my phone, waiting for her response. Is this how others feel when I take too long to reply? I feel sorry for my friends. I'll learn to type faster.

Kisaragi
Hi Todoroki

I smiled at my phone. I smiled? It felt nice. I ended up talking to her for a bit more. We talked about a few different things. After a while, I said goodbye and headed to the bathroom. I took a shower and headed to bed. I stared up at my ceiling, thinking.

"Yumiko Kisaragi..."
