Roll of the dice

Todoroki stared at Midoriya's knife that sat in his hand. He let out a frustrated sigh before throwing it across his room where it hit the wall and fell the floor with barely a scratch as if it was taunting him.

"well that's that not a nice way to try a gift"

Todoroki stood up and spun around immediately catching sight of Midoriya who was crouched at his open windowsill.

"how did you get in?!" he shouted.

"I actually teleported in but decided to open the window to look cooler, did it work?" Midoriya giggled and jumped down into the floor.

Todoroki didn't reply, he stared at a burn on midoriya's arm which looked painfully new.

"did you fight my father?" Todoroki asked more serious.

"so many questions for a guest" the green haired teen sighed "yea, I had a small encounter with Endeavor, but could you blame me?" Midoriya slowly crept towards Todoroki stood "he hurt my dear Shoto" he purred and stared into the taller males eyes winking.

Todoroki growled and swung at the villain who easily dodged.

Deku giggled and watched Todoroki "we're alone together now so I'll ask you again, will you join me? If you accept, we can make up a story, I kidnapped and brainwashed you! Or if you're bold enough, we'll tell then the truth"

Is this what he's here for? To ask me to join him again?

"My answer stays the same. No"

Midoriya frowned "why? Shoto, I was the first one to talk to you, I treated you fairly, I even fought your abusive father for you! Why do you keep saying no to me?!" Midoriya was clearly getting pissed.

Todoroki tensed up slightly "you did those things to gain my trust and use me"

Deku paused for a few seconds and stared at Todoroki "use you..? Is that what you think I'm trying to do?" Izuku softly asked and walked towards Shoto once again "Todoroki, I just want to be with you forever, and it's pretty hard to do that when we're on different sides. And you clearly share the same feelings for me"

Todoroki glared at Deku "why do you think that?"

Because when you first swing at me, you didn't use your quirk, and right now I'm close enough to kiss you yet you haven't done anything about it"

Todoroki eyes widened as he realized how close they were and took a few steps. "I-I'm -I...I need more time to think about it..."

Midoriya stepped back with a satisfied smile "tale your time babe, I'll be back soon" he winked and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Todoroki stared at the empty space processing everything before grabbing the white and red knife and throwing himself onto the bed. Not long after, he could hear the sound of his dad entering the house.

Today has been a shitty day. Every day is a shitty day in this shit place. Today was just a shittier Day.

Bakugo growled as he quietly walked home after classes were dismissed early due to what happened.

Kirishima was sent to recovery girl who healed his cut until it was only a scar because Kirishima wanted to look more manlier as he says, but Bakugo knew it was because he didn't want to forget the day he was betrayed by someone everyone thought was a friend.

But you know what makes a shitty day better?

Seeing said person in your room examining a small snow globe while sitting cross-legged on your bed!

Not.

"what the fuck are you doing here?" Bakugo growled as he closed his room door glaring daggers at the freckled male. Almost immediately, he noticed burn marks on his clothes and arm. He probably visited Todoroki before him.

Deku smiled and placed the snow globe down next to him. "I'm just paying visits to my close friend" he purred out with a big smile. A stranger would think that he couldn't even hurt a fly with that smile.

"Bullshit"

"But Kacch-"

"Don't call me that"

The room was silent as the villain looked at Bakugo with an unreadable expression. "I just came here to see you once again, Katsuki. Who knows when we'll meet again" he shrugged and stood up heading towards the window.

"wait"

Izuku stopped and turned to Katsuki who put down the arm that was outstretched to him.

"when we were kids and you were kidnapped that day...was it because of me?" Kacchan quietly asked avoiding eye contact.

Did he blame himself for me becoming a villain?

Deku slowly sat back down at Bakugo's bed "yea, it was"

Bakugo winced at the blunt answer.

"that's not all, on that day, Shigaraki had told me that if I had a quirk, you would fear me and you would leave me alone. Sure I didn't like you hitting me and putting me down like that, but I'd never want you to leave me alone, I thought that if I had a quirk, you would finally see me as equal" Deku softly chuckled.

Bakugo looked at the teen and noticed a few tears falling down his cheeks.

"who knew that such a decision would change my life forever. He convinced my heroes weren't shit, taught me the fastest and slowest ways to kill, brought me to their missions days after taking me. And now it's all I know" the tears were more frequent now but Izuku ignored then and his shaking voice.

"Sometimes I wonder what would've happened if I turned away and kept chasing you" Midoriya looked at Bakugo with a sad smile "would I have become a hero as I had hoped? Would you become nicer and realize your mistakes? Or would you stay the same and I'd just end up finding the group again and asking them to take me in?

...Not like it matters now"

Midoriya wiped away the tears and stood up facing Bakugo fully now and with a bigger smile "so yea, you were part of the reason I'm like this, but honestly Kacchan, I could never imagine being anything else. Thank you" he shrugged and jumped out the window before Bakugo could reply.
