(Ch9) -I need to speak to you-

----------------------------------
Shoto Todoroki's pov
----------------------------------

Me and Midoryia began walking down the street, and a lot of people stared. I heard some mumbles, but Midoryia didn't seem to care or notice. He just kept looking ahead with a smile.
"Are those the kids who got attacked?" I heard someone close say.
"Yeah, I heard that the villains are after them and UA now.." another person said.
"Keep your distance. If we're close, we'll get targeted too." A women said quietly, and everyone began whispering.
Midoryia tapped my shoulder with a small frown.
"Are you ok?" He asked me. I nodded.
"Yeah. I'm fine." I said, spotting the gates up ahead. And someone waiting at those gates surprised me. Midoryia saw him too, and we began walking a bit faster to see why Kastuki Bakugo was standing at the gates, waiting for someone. Who was this jerk waiting for.
Bakugo's head looked right at Midoryia. Uh oh.
"Deku." He said, and stood up straighter. Midoryia gulped, and I heard it. He was terrified.
"H-hi Kacchan..!" He said surprised. "W-why are you her-"
"I need to speak to you." He said, in a very formal and gentle-like manner. I growled. Midoryia looked at me, with a reassuring smile.
"It'll be alright, Todoroki. I'll be fine." He whispered. I sighed, then walked past Bakugo, ramming my shoulder into his, then walked into the building. I heard a low growl from him, then he walked towards Midoryia. That's when I punched a locker, freezing it. It was an empty locker, that no student was assigned too. It was a good thing, because I wasn't in the mood to get in trouble, but I was in the mood to pound explodo jerk. I tightened my fist, and my way up the stairs, and straight to the classroom, ignoring all the angry students whispering about the locker I just destroyed.

Izuku Midoryia's pov
----------------------------------

Kacchan walked towards me, and I looked up at the huge clock to see what time it was. We had almost ten minutes until we were late, but Aizawa was always late, so it didn't matter really. I turned my gaze back to kacchan, and he had a face that looked similar to Todoroki's sad gaze. It made me feel cold.
"What did you need to talk about?" I asked him, and he looked down at me.
"I-I..." He stuttered, and my eyes widened. Kacchan was never the one to stutter, it was usually me. He then shut his eyes tigh, just to open them, taking a deep breath.
"I'm sorry, Izuku.." He said, and my eyes widened bigger.

'Im sorry, Izuku...'

My mother's voice ran marathons through my head.
"I'm sorry.. for everything I've done to you.. I was blind.." He turned his head, looking to the ground. I couldn't think. I kept having the same flashback of what my mom said. Instantly, I shook my head, and looked at him.
"Are you alright, Kacchan?" I asked him suspiciously.
"Huh?" He looked at me. "What do you mean?"
"Well.. you'd never apologized to me before.. this is different.." I said quietly, and Kacchan sighed.
"I wanna change." I thought I heard him, but when i looked up, his face said otherwise. It looked angry.
"You can change.. but why are you apologizing to me?" I asked, before his fist slammed into the gate wall, right beside my head. He put his other hand gently on the wall beside me.
"I didn't realize how much you meant to me.." He said silently. "I hurt you when I was younger.. and i still did.. what I dont understand is why your still here."
"Huh?" I asked.
"You still care about me... all you did was care.. and all I did was push you away.." he said, and sighed. "..why?" His voice sounded painful. I smiled up at him, and his eyes widened.
"Because I care about you, Kacchan! Your my friend, and friends care about friends." I smiled, and for the first time in a while, I saw Kacchan smile. He had a huge smile, and it reminded me of when we were kids, when he smiled to his friends. When it was real and friendly. I couldn't help but smile again. He quickly stepped away, and his face went normal.
"Stupid Deku! We better hurry back to class. I'm not being late because of your lazy ass!" He yelled, then winked. I smiled small, and he walked in front of me.

-Flashback-

"Wow Kacchan! Your so cool!" I yelled. It was me, when I was five. Kacchan, who was walking in front of me, was also five. He looked back at me, and smirked.
"I know. Maybe you'll get a quirk as awesome as mine, but you'll never be better than me, Deku!" He said, and I frowned.
"I already told you, Kacchan. The doctor said I can't get a quirk." I said sadly, until I felt his arm slither across my shoulder, and a smile on his face. A real smile.
"Exactly. That's why I'll be your hero! I'll be everyone's hero! Just like All Might!" He smirked, and showed off his arms, where he always liked to believe he had muscles. I smiled gently.

'Yeah.. my hero.' I thought, walking behind him once again.

-Flashback end-

Me and Kacchan made it to class, and Todoroki glared at Bakugo, like always. I smiled at him, and just like that, he calmed down like a puppy dog. So cute. I took my seat behind Kacchan and looked at Todoroki again. This time, my eyes met someone else. A girl in our class. Yaoyorzu was her name, and her look shot daggers. She then quickly looked away and began smiling at Todoroki. They whispered back and forth, until Aizawa stepped in and began teaching. We went outside and did laps around, but Kacchan and Todoroki kept their distance from me. It felt lonely. Even if i was running next to my friend Kirishima, I felt lonely.

'They must hate you now.'

I heard a voice whisper into my ear while running. I whipped my head around, just to see no one. I sighed. I kept running, almost instantly falling behind. I watched everyone else run ahead of me, including Bakugo and Todoroki. I soon began slowly jogging, until I completely stopped. Shortly after I stood there like an idiot, I walked to the others. Everyone was a gasping mess, except Iida. He just stood there, waiting for his silently. His quirk was engine, which means he was perfect at running. He was also incredibly smart. We went back to class, and I was dreading it. I wasn't even paying attention. I was just staring out the window. Sooner or later, the bell rang, and I was the last one out of the classroom. I turned down the hallway, and I felt hands cover my eyes from behind.
"Guess who." He said.
One of his hands were cold, and the other was warm. I regonized it. I smiled.
"Erm... Todoroki-kun?" I asked, and his hands slid off my face.
"You guessed right. Wanna walk home together? I honestly dont wanna go home." He said sheepishly, and I nodded. I felt his hand wrap around my wrist and he began to walk. It was his cold hand, and I shivered. We walked out together, and out the gate. It looked like it was about to rain, and it was rather chilly outside. Even if I had my UA coat on, I was still cold. The aura around us felt horrible, and I didn't like it. I noticed that Todoroki's grip on my wrist tightened, and he walked faster. I couldn't see his face, but i could tell he was tense, because he was beginning to freeze my arm. I shivered.
"T-Todoroki-kun. Where are we-"
"Shh." He whispered harshfully, and pulled me into an ally. I was confused. He pushed me against the wall, him beside me.
"What's going on?" I whispered.
"It's them.." he whispered, pointing down the ally. At the dark end of the ally, stood two people, a short girl, and a tall man. I regonized them instantly. On the news after the attack, the two suspects who attacked us was a man named Dabi, and a short girl named Toga. That was them. Todoroki grabbed my hand again and ducked behind a dumpster. I could hear Todoroki's stressful breathing behind me. He was panicking. I set my hand on top of his with a smile.
"It's ok, Todoroki-kun. We'll be fine." I whispered, and he smiled at me. He was relaxed, that was good. I turned to look around the dumpster to see if they moved, but me and Dabi's eyes met. His scars scared me, and I knew we were over. He pulled his lips up into a smirk, while I just stared in horror.
