Sick (Todoroki Shouto)

Todoroki Shouto:

"Ugh my head..." You drawled out, the pillow to your side being tossed onto your face now. The light hurt and the pillow felt cool, so it was the only thing relieving you of one of the many things making you ache.

"I brought you that medicine you asked for." The neutral but comforting voice of Todoroki whispered out to you. Once again his ability to read the mood showing through by the tone of voice he was using to speak you.

"Thanks lover." You whispered, removing the pillow and taking the pills into your hands. Todoroki handed you the water glass sitting by your bedside, your eager hand taking it from his.

"How are you feeling? Should I take your temperature?" He asked softly, touching his cold side to your burning forehead.

"No. No." You waved him off. "I took my temperature before you showed up, so I should wait another hour or so before taking it again."

"Well alright then." Todoroki responded, attempting to pull his hand away. However it had appeared you were holding his hand down with a death grip.

His quirk was such a blessing, especially for your hot skin. The way his skin cooled down your own made you let out a soft moan in relief at the feeling. At such a sound, Todoroki coughed catching your attention and reminding you that it was his hand and not an ice pack you were holding.

"May I please have my hand back?" He asked, soft flush in his cheeks. He was still getting used to light and loving touches, as he had been physically starved due to his upbringing.

"O-oh! Of course! Of course you can! Ha ha!" You tried to talk over your embarrassment, only for it to send you into a coughing fit. Damn flu making you feel like shit and making you act so stupid in front of your boyfriend.

Todoroki, being the kindhearted soul he was, rubbed your back. When the fit was over he handed you a cough drop, once again providing excellent care to you. He was too good for you at times, right now being the perfect example.

He had texted you this morning asking why you had missed first period. After your reply of the flu and not being able to leave your dorm room let alone your bed, you had assumed he would keep his distance.

However, once classes ended for the day a soft knocking was heard followed by the heterochromatic boy entering your room. His face was covered by a mask to save himself from the germs, but his hands carried various items, foods and drinks to help with your illness.

"You really didn't have to come or stay..." You told him as he was icing an actual ice pack.

Todoroki shook his head handing you his frost covered gift. "I wanted to make sure your care was being properly handled."

You smiled a bit, pressing his ice pack to your forehead. "How was class today?"

"The same as usual: we trained, learned and moved forward a bit more."

"Sounds like I missed out." You chuckled pitifully.

"I brought your homework. Would you like to do it together?"

"That sounds wonderful Shouto." You coughed into your elbow and then took another sip of the water near your bedside.

Todoroki brought your desk chair towards your bed, handing you a blank sheet of math homework practice problems. He began to go through and explaining the new lesson from the day.

It was fairly simple, so your grasped the subject matter very quickly to your relief. Todoroki and yourself worked through the set, asking each other for help when you needed it or stopping when you suddenly coughed or felt nauseous.

Todoroki paused every time, trying to find some remedy for your sickness. Sometimes it was passing you another cough drop, other times it was quickly handing you the waste basket but most importantly it was the way he nodded and gave you that soft smile when you laughed or spoke to him.

He didn't want to say it in fear of freaking you out, but slowly day by day he was beginning to fall for you more and more. It had started out as a simple infatuation with you, but as he got to know you more... the more he could feel himself falling for you.

He didn't come over to take pity on you in this terrible state. No, he came over to take care of you and risk his own health because he felt this desire to see you at your best again. And he for some reason felt like him being with you would make you better, more so than any medicine could.

And he would stay here and help you as long as you needed, because he knew he was in too deep. But he didn't mind the fall... as long as it was you he was falling towards in the end.
