Chapter 15

After my little run-in with Bakugou, I decided to head down to the vending machines and grab a quick snack before the next event.

"C9 or B4...?" I stared at the two snacks with narrowed eyes.

"C9? B4... B4!" I punched the dial for B4 on the keypad and watched happily as a packet of (fave snack) fell out of the dispenser.

"Before what?"

I jumped as a familiar voice called out to me from behind.

"AHH! Oh, it's you," I sighed in relief. Todoroki watched me with distant eyes, an aloof expression on his face. Flustered, I hastily bent over to grab my snack from the vending machine.

"S-sorry, let me get out of your way." I stuttered, scampering aside to let Todoroki get to the vending machine.

Todoroki sighed, his eyes closing momentarily.

"What happened back there?" Todoroki asked in a calm voice.

"Uh, when?" I asked hesitantly, my mind wondering back to the little chat with Bakugou. Todoroki's eyes narrowed, obviously picking up on the fact that I was nervous as hell.

"When you passed out." He stated flatly.

"O-oh, that..." I shakily breathed out, watching as Todoroki punched in the code for his snack.

"That is what happens when I overuse my quirk," I whispered.

"I see." He breathed out, grabbing his snack from the vending machine.

"H-hey, uh..." I took a deep breath, calming my nerves.

I closed my eyes, a broad smile forming on my lips.

"Congratulations on the big win at the Calvary battle!"

Todoroki shifted his gaze away from me, his hair falling over his eyes. I opened my eyes to stare at him, a concerned expression on my face.

"Don't congratulate me," Todoroki whispered, his voice cold and harsh.

"What? Why?" I asked the bi-color haired male. Todoroki sighed and took a step away from me to lean against the wall behind him. I watched curiously as he gently tore open his snack from the vending machine and ate it.

"Because I used it."

I blinked in confusion, my mind wracking through my thoughts to try and decipher what he meant.

"My left side," he clarified. I nodded my head in understanding, my eyes glancing down at my feet.

"If you don't mind me asking... why are you hesitant to use your left side?"

I gulped as Todoroki's cold eyes bore into mine. A dark shadow cast over his face.

"Because of my shitty old man, that bastard. He claims to be a hero..." Todoroki scrunched his face up in disgust.

"Have you ever heard of quirk marriages?" Todoroki asked. I nodded, still slightly confused.

"That shitty old man used my mother... She used her... to make me. To surpass All Might... I was a weapon and he used her."

I swallowed hard trying to moisten my dry throat as I watched Todoroki's expression momentarily break.

"God I hate him, I utterly despise him, yet he is here today... To watch me, his little weapon, to gain popularity. I don't use my left side because it came from him, a horrible man." Todoroki's voice was filled with venom as he spoke, his hand reached up to clutch the scar on the left side of his face.
