✱Tododeku - Chasing Shadows✱

✣Chapter 4 - What a Hot Mess✣

MIDORIYA'S POV 

As his head made contact with the other male he immediately laid back down, clutching his forehead in pain.

"Owwwww..."

"Are you alright, Midoriya?" 

Midoriya turned to face the ever so familiar voice as he frowned, he failed- but if  he was so disappointed why could he feel droplets trickling down his face?

TODOROKI'S POV 

 His mismatched colored eyes widened as he reached for his partner. As he reached, he flinched back remembering the last time he tried to touch him. He watched as Midoriya's hands flew to his own face. Todoroki took the cloth from Midoriya's lap before placing it back into the bucket. With determination embedded into his heart he hugged Midoriya tightly. Midoriya flinched as he tried to push Todoroki away, but he finally gave in. Todoroki never wanted to let go- He could feel his heart pounding madly in his chest. As he let go, he stared straight into the dull emerald eyes- They were dull but yet they shone so bright. Even when he let go, his heart didn't stop racing. Todoroki felt his hand move to Midoriya's chin as he instinctively moved forward closing his eyes,

"Todoroki! It's a promise."

Those words rang in his head as he hestiated. Giving  Midoriya a chance to shove him back, quickly getting off the bed and glancing back once- His face an unhealthy shade of red- before he slammed the door behind him. What had gotten a hold of him? He just couldn't forget those shining emerald eyes, and the bright smile that Midoriya had always given him. Why? His sight transferred to the gun that Midoriya had pulled on him. Why did he have a gun? He hadn't used "All for One" in months, and even when he did use "All for One" he had never used a gun. Where did Midoriya's fever come from? There were so many questions, yet he couldn't help but put his faith into his partner. 

As much as he wanted to keep ignoring the problem, pretending it wasn't there- He knew that wasn't possible.

MIDORIYA'S POV   

His hands flew to his heated face, he touched his forehead. Was his fever coming back? He watched as Todoroki came out of the room, he began to panic but Todoroki raised his phone so he could see the screen. He passed Todoroki beginning to unbutton his shirt- Weird. He didn't remember wearing one, he glanced over at Todoroki, their eyes met for a second before Midoriya quickly looked away. Frowning as he felt the heat rise in his face, once again shutting the door behind him. Now he couldn't get that stupid look Midoriya gave him out of his mind.

 MIDORIYA'S POV

As they walked to the police station, Midoriya placed the gun carefully back into the suitcase avoiding all eye contact with Todoroki. After what happened that morning, they hadn't said a single word to each other to Midoriya's relief. Even if they had, what would he have said? Oh hey, Todoroki! I hate your guts but you also makes me feel dizzy inside when I gaze into your eyes! Dang do I need a map to- He shook his head, he had more important things to worry about. He suddenly stopped, Todoroki running into him as Midoriya stumbled to keep his balance. He moved a single finger to his lips before narrowing his eyes at his partner. Midoriya had begun to run off, he heard Todoroki call his name repetitively but he ducked into an alley. 

He rubbed his eyes as he instinctively raised his hand to his forehead. His sight began to fuzz, but as he narrowed his eyes he snapped out of it. Midoriya stood up straight, gripping the suitcase handle tightly. He took a long look at his location, it stunk, he could hear the squish of ash under his feet-
