Home again, Todoroki makes a beeline for his room and picks the silver box up from where he'd thrown it before. He thinks about the nurse's words as he heads to the back yard.
"So if you have something that might serve as a gentle reminder... bring it in, okay?"
Grass tickles his ankles as he crosses the yard, brow furrowed, gaze determined. Shouto dumps the contents of the box out onto the cement top of the well in his backyard. A picture of Uraraka, Izuku, and Tenya flutters out from the bottom and Todoroki catches it as he sets the metallic box down. He looks at the picture, the sun's gleam bouncing off of it. The smile Izuku wore in it is similar to the one he'd given Shouto today. Shouto grins at that and the picture goes up in flames. He tosses it onto the bloody and tattered costume and raises his left hand, igniting the pile. Hot red and yellow fire dances in front of him, a triangle of shade darkening his expression from nose to brow.
Shouto says goodbye to Deku, the selfless hero, and he silently vows to protect Izuku, his only... friend.
Notes:
Well isn't that just :)
Please review and let me know what you think! It's my first time writing a BNHA fic and ik Sho(u)to seemed OOC, but... that was kinda the point.
Is it Shoto or Shouto? Like, I'm genuinely confused by this??? (Same with Bakugo/Bakugou--ayudame, really.)
(Thanks for reading!)
