Todoroki One Shots

Blessing or curse?

Requested by: 

Summary:

If people knew about the things he sees, they would call him crazy... that's why he doesn't mention it to anybody.

A doctor in modern age would probably be able to find every quirk within their patients, yet barely ten years ago, one patient managed to slip under their noses- hiding a quirk that they only discovered several years later. A quirk that only this person knows about, and a quirk which may cause more damage for the user than the victim.

===

The people around him always seemed happy, yet he couldn't bring himself to feel like them- always seeing the dark shadows behind every corner, that no one else seemed to see.

He were told that having two quirks was awesome, that everyone envied his "success"... if only they knew... Truth be told, he's always kept his deepest secret close to him- not wanting the so called "envy" to get worse... what if people said he were lucky because of this one?

The thought alone made him shiver. He's always felt unlucky... He may of been born into a wealthy and strong family, but no one ever looked behind the corners- no one ever saw through the fake smiles.

Abuse, fear and insanity wasn't the only things manifesting within the Todoroki household... even as Shoto was the only one to know this...

People may say he's lucky, but would they really feel that way, if they could see their friends and family die in new ways almost every day? Every day more brutal than the day before?

That's the secret he's kept hidden... and a secret he plans to take to the grave with him...

...

Looking at Iida made him want to throw up..

Not because his looks or personality was disgusting to him, but because of the flashes he kept getting in his mind... flashes of blood and death... the things he could never control...

He were talking about their new group assignment, but Shoto couldn't bring himself to listen nor could he focus on anything beside the bloody sight of his classmate, that kept appearing inside of his mind. Why wouldn't it stop? Why couldn't he control it...

A dark void surrounded his eyes, as the unmistakable sight of his classmates dead body kept appearing- this time, more gory than the last.

He usually sees Iida with a gunshot wound or his engines completely burned out, but today was different... today he resembled a bloody corpse- the face and body unrecognizable beyond belief, and what looked like several swords and knifes stuck inside of his body...

Last time he saw this one, was the day before Stains' big attack... and the day he, Iida and Midoriya took down the villain...

The thought made his body freeze. Did that mean Stain was back? He couldn't be...

"You there? Todoroki?" Iida's voice called out to him, and he found the void slowly disappeared- revealing his healthy and uninjured classmate. "You zoned out. But did you want to join us later? We thought of going to the public library and study there"

Iida quickly made a gesture to rearrange his glasses, before looking expectingly at Shoto. Was that what would happen? Was that the sight he saw?

"Actually, I think it was going to rain... Could we work on it at the dorms?" His voice shook, but he prayed Iida wouldn't hear. He just needs to keep them safe... a few lies is worth saving a life...

He seemed unbothered at first, but then quickly looked to the side as if searching for something. "Sure, I didn't look at the weather forecast today. I'll just quickly tell Uraraka, so she knows we're staying here"
