It's dark... and cold.
"Where am I?" The stench of rotten eggs and spoiled milk flood the young boy's nose. His breathing heightening, coughing every few seconds, unable to cover his mouth or nose. He looked over to see a disassembled hand, with a note in the palm.
Izuku, You probably want to know what that foul stench is and how you got here. I'll be happy to give you some answers, you just need to do something for me.
Midoriya shook his head in disbelief, unable to actually picture what the hell happened and where the actual literal fuck he is. He saw another note on a button saying kick this when you're awake.
So he did.
He was unprepared however, for the immediate response.
"...Midoriya Izuku..." a raspy voice spoke out almost as if it were trapped inside the tall man's throat. "...I see you found one note...what about the other...?" He continued on. The man had silver hair and a black t shirt almost too long for him, which was surprising considering the height of him. Of course, Izuku was on the ground so his sense of perception was off. Something odd though, was that he had a disassembled hand on his face that looked like the one the first note was in.
Midoriya was hesitant, but he nodded in response. The silveret made a subtle jerk to signify his delight, sauntering over to the green haired pro.
"You've gone and graduated haven't you?" the man's voice had gained volume, yet the rasp remained. Midoriya nodded again. Why was this happening? Can't he just go home??
"How's dear old Todoroki Shouto doing..?"
...
Silence.
Everything turned quiet, engulfed in the intensity of Midoriya's glare.
"...dont do that." Midoriya pleaded. "not on the anniversary." He turned to the ground, tears blurring his wide eyed gaze.
The silveret remained unfazed, crouching down to the the curly haired male. He stared at Midorya's face as he sobbed.
"EgH!-" a sudden rush of shock ran through the broccoli haired boy as the silveret yanked his face toward him.
"You're not going to survive in the 'hero world' if you're sensitive over something as small as that. You might as well die now." His pinky finger that had been hovering over Midoriya's face was closing in.
"Shigaraki!" Midoriya struggled to keep him from turning him to dust. He pulled his free leg up to kick him in the stomach, causing the silveret's hand to release him.
"Who the hell gave you the right to speak about him!?" His sobs caused his voice to crack but his gaze remained intimidating. He didn't want to recall it.

"...Pro hero 'Deku' catches the escaped 'All For One' and-"
Click
"...Our number one hero 'Deku'! He's done everything worthy of the title-"
Click
"...Number one hero 'Deku' devastated after-"
Click
"...Was All For One, Pro Hero 'Deku's' last run?"
Midoriya sighed, disappointed about saddening his fans. He took another scoop of ice cream, switching off the news and turning to Netflix.
A jolt of comfort washed over him as his beloved's arms embraced him.
"Hi Shouto..." Midoriya hummed fondly. The calm aura around Todoroki was soothing, definitely needed right about now. As if on queue, Todoroki swayed over around the couch and slowly sat down on it, sliding his arms around the green haired boys torso in an embrace.
"Tough night?" Todoroki nodded silently, already falling asleep in the comfort of his beloved's body heat.
"I love you, Izuku..." Todoroki whispered and hugged Midoriya tighter as if he needed the comfort. Midoriya looked down at him smiling softly.
"I love you too, Shoto..."
Izuku looked up at the TV turning it down to a volume almost silent as he watched Sense 8. He looked down one last time at his boyfriend's peaceful sleeping face and smiled. He really did love him.
—————————————————————————–
All he could remember was a soft peck on his cheek before everything turned to shit. Everything was going great, their relationship was one of the best, almost admired by the pro heroes. A power couple one might say. All For One had been taken care of, everyone was happy. Midoriya's heart ached for that warm embrace he had been given every time Shouto came home.
"It's all my fault..." Izuku sobbed, choking after every other inhale. "If I'd have been faster-" the sobs grew louder and more frequent. "Shouto....Shouto...Shouto..."
His heart had been ripped out of him and thrown into a never ending hole, where all he could feel was a downward spiral. Everything was falling apart around him. His vocabulary fully dissipating, unable to speak, unbearable pain consuming him.
He couldn't bring himself to turn on the tv, every news station was talking about it.
They had been going grocery shopping, Todoroki wearing one of Midoriya's merch hoodies, and Midoriya wearing one of Todoroki's. It had all happened so fast, Shouto was getting a can of soup, when a villain burst threw the shelves and -
And...
Midoriya had gone to a state of numbness.
Todoroki had been torn apart. The only reason they could tell who it was...
Was because they saw Midoriya screaming in the isle. He was two feet away from him. He could have pulled him out of the way.
But he was too late.
