CHOICE 09 - Dabi and Shouto

A few minutes before...

Todoroki's POV

I walked in the quiet district. I just returned from the hospital,visiting mother. Our conversation played in my mind.

Third Person's POV

"Shouto." Rei called out her beloved son. Shouto raised his head and stared at his mother. "Yes,Mom?" He replied.

"Where is Izuku?" Rei asked,looking for the greenette she missed so much.

Shouto was very shocked by her question. He only remained silent. "M-Midoriya..." Shouto stuttered nervously. He looked down in guilty and frustration.

"I'm not mean...to be with her..." Shouto mumbled. He clenched his fists. Rei was surprised by her son's statement. "You break up with her...?" Rei asked in disbelief.

"Yeah...and now...s-she is missing..." Shouto messed his mismatched hair,feeling very frustrated and regret with his reckless action.

Rei patted her son's shoulder to comfort him. "Because of lust...pride...and ego...I-I-I threw her away..." Shouto confessed in sadness.

"And now she is missing because of me! If only I didn't cheat on her, if only I accept her from the bottom of my heart, if only I was honest with her..." Shouto's voice became croaked.

"If only I didn't break her that night...s-she won't go missing..." Shouto couldn't contain his pent-up emotion anymore.

To him,he was a monster. A monster much worse than villain. He broke his love one's heart just for lust and sexual desire.

He really did love Izuku but because of his impatience, he used Yaoyorozu's feelings to satisfy his desire.

And now his classmates hated him since he only ignored Izuku. They thought he didn't give a damn care about Izuku but in fact,he was worried sick of Izuku.

Every night, Shouto cried,regretting his action. He was mad at his stupid self.

Rei stared at his heartbroken son in sadness yet she felt a bit angry with Shoto's action.

"Shouto,look at me son..." Shouto raised his head and his eyes met his mother's gentle gazes. "Do you love her,dear?" Rei asked.

Shouto nodded in response. "Do you regret your action?" Rei asked, she sounded more serious. He quickly nodded without hesitation.

"Do you want to save Izuku?" Rei asked again,the last question that would determine her son's true intention and feelings. "Yes,I want. I'll do anything to save her!" Shouto replied.

"Then go and right your mistake,son. If you only keep crying and sobbing,nothing will change,dear. Go and save her,Shouto. Izuku needs you." Rei said in gentle voice while patting her son's head to comfort him.

Rei's words made Shouto realized something. His mother was true. He wouldn't get anywhere if he only cried and kept hoping she would come back. He shouldn't dream of it, he should make it happen.

"Thanks,Mom..." Shouto hugged his mother,feeling grateful and calm. "It's a mother's job to help her child that was in trouble,Shouto." Rei said and smiled warmly at him.
