Torn

Encounter with Buring Trash

Y/N POV

I run to the entrance for the battle.

Pony lost...

I spot Pony and run to her. She looks so sad.
"Pony! You did amazing! Please don't be sad..." I get quiet towards the end.

"But... I lost... I let everyone down..." Pony starts to tear up.

"No you didn't! You are one of three other people in class 1-B to make it! They are all so proud of you! I'm really proud of you! Without you, our team wouldn't have made it this far! You're amazing!" I exclaim, pulling Pony into a comforting hug.

She hugs back and snuggles her face in my shoulder. After a while, we both pull away from the hug and start walking back to the seating area. I then spot...someone. I tell Pony to go ahead.

I walk around the corner and see...

Endeavor.

"Huh, and here I thought burning trash was illegal..." I start to say, leaning against the wall, glaring.

He turns around.

"But here... you... are..." I finish speaking.

He snarls at me.

"So... you put Shoto through the same torture... you put Touya through..." I mumble.

"It's your fault he's gone. You're just a terrible influence... Don't go blaming me..." Endeavor growls, glaring at me.

I glare back.

"It's your terrible 'parenting' that caused him to run away. Don't blame me. I would have never told him to run away. If anything, I would have taken him in and he could have lived with me, which I offered multiple times. He just didn't want someone to go after me," I strike back.

"You know Touya?" I hear Todoroki ask.

I turn around and look at him.

That's right... he's gonna battle Sero next...

I nod.

I glare at Endeavor one more time, the leave to go back to the stands. I'm stopping by someone grabbing my wrist. I turn my head around and see Todoroki.

"How do you know Touya and my father?" Todoroki asks.

I yank my hand away and keep walking.

"I really don't want to talk at the moment..." I mumble.

"Why? You were talking fine a moment ago," Todoroki states.

"It's...gonna leave a lot of questions...and I don't want to answer all of the at the moment...If you'd like, we can meet up after the sports festival and talk. Although, Rei, Natsuo, and Fuyumi will also be good sources of information..." I explain.

"You...know my siblings and Mom...?" Todoroki asks for conformation, his eyes as wide as saucers for a moment.

"I do. Good luck with your match," I turn around and give him a  sweet smile, "Although I'm sure you won't need it," I say.

"...Thanks..." Todoroki mumbles.

Luckily, Todoroki doesn't ask anymore questions and walks off. I reach the stands and go back to my seat next to Tokoyami. He looks at me and whispers,
"What's wrong?"

I shake my head and focus on the battle arena. I feel Tokoyami grab my hand from under the armrest and squeeze it. I lace our fingers together and squeeze his hand back.

The next match starts. Present Mic announces,
"The second match is... Shoto Todoroki from class 1-A! Vs! Hanta Sero also from class 1-A!"

"Ready! Begin!" Midnight starts the battle.

Sero wraps Todoroki up in tape and spins him around. Todoroki doesn't do anything for a moment, he just lets Sero spin him. Then, he blasts a huge ice wave that's the size of half a mountain. Poor Sero is stuck, frozen in the ice.

"ALRIGHT TODOROKI THAT'S A LITTLE OVERKILL!!!" I shout.

He just turns his head and stares at me. He then starts to melt the ice away. A sad expression visible on his face.
