Todoroki x Midoriya

Chapter 8

Midoryia POV
"Midoryia!" I hear an all to familliar voice call out. I turn around to see Todoroki standing by the door to the roof with a fearful look on his face.

I immediately start crying louder.

"I'm so sorry!" I yell crouching down on the ledge and covering my mouth to muffle my sobs.

He takes a few slow steps forward.
"Midoryia, please don't do this." He begs.

I ignore him and continue to cry on the ledge. He steps closer to the rail crouching down on the other side. Slipping his hand through the bars and putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Please, don't do this.." He begs again.

I turn to face him.

"Todoroki kun. I'm so sorry." I croak in between sobs.

"Stop apologizing, just please come to the other side of the rail." He asks a glint of hope in his eyes as he looks down at me.

I stand up slowly then glance down at the ground. I wipe my eyes and face to try and rid myself of tears but they continue to slide down my face. Todoroki stands up sticking his hand out to help me over the rail. I hesitantly take his hand then climb over the rail. Todoroki lets out a sigh of relief still holding my hand. I stand there for a moment in shock at the events that just played out.

I Izuku Midoryia just tried to kill myself. Tears start to prick at my eyes as I think to myself.

"Todoroki I'm so sorry" I squeak throwing myself into his arms.

He wraps his arms around me. Holding me tight.

"It's o-" Todoroki was cut off by the sound of the bell. I started to panic considering I can't go to class looking the way I do.

"Todoroki? What should I do?" I ask sniffling and wiping my eyes to make myself look decent.

"I don't know. What do you want to do?" He ask repositioning me in his lap.

"I, want to go home." I say quietly looking down and fidgeting my hands awkwardly, as I try to hide my blush.

"Do you want me to take you?" He asks me his voice still a whisper.

I nod still fidgeting my hands in my lap. Todoroki smiles then gestures for me to stand. I do as told then wait for him to speak.

"Why don't we head to the bathroom and get you cleaned up." he says standing up and walking towards my shoes. He picks them up and hands them to me. "I think you should put these on." He adds.

I take my shoes then sit down on a nearby bench slipping them on and tying the laces into double knots. Once I'm finished I stand up and walk over to Todoroki who smiles at me then gestures me to follow. We walk in silence as we head to the bathroom.    After arriving I walk over to a mirror and study my reflection. I sigh then turn on the faucet splashing my face with water. I try to fix my hair the best I can then smile at the mirror. It was a fake smile you could tell but I needed it to look convincing. Mom can't know what happened today. If she found out she'd...

Todoroki walks into the bathroom snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Is everything ok? You've been in here a while.." He asks his voice coated with concern.

"Yeah" I say forcing a smile and walking towards him.

He gives me look that screams out I don't believe you but he nods anyways walking with me to the entrance of the school. We continue walking in silence. Past the school gate and towards my house. Once we arrive I open the door and shout for my mom as cheerfully as possible.

"Mom I'm home! I brought a friend!"

Me and Todoroki walk in as my mother sprints down the stairs.

"Izuku! You're home early!"She yells excitedly giving me a tight hug.

"Yeah they let us out early today." I say as I rub the back of my neck awkwardly.

"But let me tell you about all of people I met today!" I shout with fake excitement.

My mother squeals then sits down on the couch tapping the seat next to her for me to sit down. Todoroki follows and sits down across from us.

I start to blabber on and on about Uraraka and Iida. Lengthening the good things that happened to fill in for the bad. The whole time Todoroki is eyeing me flabbergasted by how easily I lie about Kacchan. My mom still thinks that we're friends or more so acquaintances. So I try to show him in a good light. Before I could finish talking about the events at lunch the oven timer goes off in the kitchen. My mom jumps up in shock then runs into the kitchen quickly throwing on an oven mitt.

"Todoroki was it? Why don't you and Izuku head upstairs for a little bit while I finish dinner." She says closing the oven door and resetting the timer.

I should ask him if even wants to stay. I think to myself.

"Hey um Todoroki do you want to stay for dinner, although I think it's already been decided." I ask nervously.

He laughs then nods his head.

"I would love too."
