Why can't you be mine?

Chapter 24

{Todoroki's POV}

Yaoyorozu? On a date? With Iida? Although she claimed that it wasn't actually a date, wouldn't anyone assume that they're bound to start dating? I was simply asking her questions about her plans and didn't even realize that my curiosity ended up sounding like an interrogation. Somehow this left an odd feeling inside of me, a bad feeling that tells me this is going to ruin the plan we already had planned. After all what's the point of me pretending to date Jirou if Yaoyorozu is going to end up dating another man? 

Kaminari initiated the idea of us heading back to the dorms and without even realizing it, I had pulled Yaoyorozu back. I have to admit that being here alone in the dark with Yaoyorozu, makes me think of unthinkable things. Especially since she's quite vulnerable now, vulnerable, not weak. I immediately shove all those thoughts and replace them with my original intention which was to warn her about the possibilities of tomorrow. I intended to make myself sound more supportive but what I said came out as more of a threat. Which technically speaking is correct, it is a threat, a threat to Iida that is. I know he's my friend but if he does attempt to make one move on her that I don't like, Aizawa sensei can threaten me with his expulsion all he wants but I won't stop. 

She was pushed against the wall and I could easily hear her heavy breathing. I also noticed at the way she gulped when I had finished what I had to say. Cute. I couldn't help but smile which subconsciously immediately turned into a sly smirk. I had a feeling she was going to turn around and try to see what expression I had on. But thankfully, right on cue, I had done something I didn't expect i'd be doing in a very long time. I bit her neck. I heard her give out a slight whimper and even in the dark, I could see her face heating up more and more by the second, although I didn't know if it was because of the whimper she gave out or because of the biting I had done... or maybe both?

In her defense, she wasn't the only one whose face was burning up. God damn it, how am I supposed to make an excuse for this one? But you know what? Why don't I let her think of a reason for my actions, let's leave her on a cliffhanger shall we? I lean closer to her ear and whisper, "Goodnight Yaoyorozu, sweet dreams" I pull back from her and start heading back to my dorm which was the initial plan anyways. "W-wait!" She whisper - yelled. "Hm?" I say in a questioning tone, making myself sound like an innocent person. "What was that for?" She asks, her tone not changing. I smirk as I give out a simple shrug, "Interpret it the way you want to" 

I turn back to the direction of my dorm and walk away, leaving a confused Yaoyorozu behind. I smirk to myself actually feeling quite proud of myself. I finally managed to reach my dorm, entered it, the feeling of satisfaction still not leaving my chest. I turned around to close my dorm room but was stopped when a foot had come in between. "Huh?" I ask out loud, opening the door wider to see who it was. I was welcomed with an unexpected but not unwanted guest, Yaoyorozu. She was panting heavily, probably from the running she did to catch up and asked if I could enter my room. I gestured for her to come inside and motioned for her to sit. She pulled out the chair which was tucked inside the desk and sat down on it.

"Why are you here?" I ask standing in front of her. "I want to know why you did that 'thing' earlier" She asks. Her face was beginning to heat up again as she avoided saying the word 'bite' I wanted to continue my innocent act just a bit longer, wanting her to actually say what I actually did earlier. "What thing?" "What do you mean 'what thing?' you bit me! Tell me why?" she finally says, she was now avoiding any possible eye contact by looking at every other thing in my room apart from me. "Oh! that thing, i'm not telling you" I casually say turning around, trying to hide my laughter. "What do you mean you're not going to tell me? I need you to give me a reason why you bit me earlier" she says trying to look angry although she looked completely flustered. 

"Like I said, i'm not telling you" I say. "I'm not leaving your room until you tell me the reason" she says crossing her arms attempting to sound confident. I have to admit, what she said surprised me but at the same time makes me want to want her even more. "Well alright, enjoy your stay" I say walking towards the bathroom, beginning to do my nightly routine. I can't believe she's actually going to stay in my room. I doubt it, she'll probably tell me that she's going to be leaving the instant I come out. After getting ready, I head back out, ready to be bombarded with many questions related to what I had done to her earlier. 

But when I walked out, I found a completely different sight. A sight of a sleeping Yaoyorozu. She was still sitting on the same chair but was now facing my desk. Her arms were folded in front of her and her head was carefully resting on top. She was fast asleep, maybe she really was tired of what happened today, after all, we did go to the woods. I sighed, putting back the smile I didn't know I had put on in the first place. I carried her and placed her on my bed, I couldn't just leave her to sleep on my desk. I placed my blanket on top of her and prepared the futon for me to sleep on. I may have bitten her earlier but I wouldn't go to the extent of actually taking the chance and sleep beside her without her permission. 

As I finally laid on my fixed futon, I heard Yaoyorozu muttering out a few words. "T-todo-roki" she muttered, "I..." I immediately turn to face her in an attempt to hear what she is dreaming of. "I li-" she continued, I had expected her to say more but she had ended her sentence at that. I wonder what she was going to say? And was she going to say what I wished she would have said?

Yo! *internally cringing for my awkwardness* they didn't have a lot of interaction during this chapter but I wanted it to be purely filled with Todoroki and Yaoyorozu moments. Anyways (I say this a lot :/), like, share and comment! <3
