The Bridge

This is going to be a sad one. I'm inspired by the song above. Please listen to the song while reading, for you will have a better experience. There should be a way to loop it if you're on a computer

Todoroki's P.O.V

Izuku sits at the top of the ledge, looking down. He knows I'm here. He can sense my presence.

"Remember this spot?" He asks. "This very spot with memories."

~Flashback~

I lead Izuku up the hill to my favorite stargazing spot. Today was our 1st anniversary.  I hold his hands as I look into his eyes. "You're beautiful." I gently whisper, scared to ruin the moment. I lean in and kiss his lips. "I love you, Izuku," I whisper onto his lips.

"I love you, too, Shoto. So much." He whispers back, staring into my eyes. His green eyes twinkle in the gentle moonlight, the reflection from the lake illuminating his face, highlighting his perfect face with his cute freckles. I reach for my back pocket and slip out a velvet box. I open it up, showing him the diamond necklace with I Love You engraved into the silver heart. Izuku gasps.

"A beautiful necklace for a beautiful man." I gently speak, placing the necklace around his neck. He smiles up at me and hugs me.

"Thank you, Sho. It's beautiful."

"Anything for you, my love."

~Flashback end~

"That was the day you gave me this necklace. A promise. A promise to never stop loving me. Did you ever break that promise? Did you ever think less of me? Did you ever love anyone else?" Izuku asked while crying. "Did you ever give your heart to someone who didn't care? Did you ever throw away my heart and replace it with another one?" Izuku continued asking. "Was I not good enough?"

"Where are you getting this, Izuku?" I ask calmly, slowly advancing toward the weeping man. "I could never love another as much as I love you. No one could ever replace you. I would never hurt you. I never gave someone else my heart, for there was nothing to give. You have it, Izuku. My heart is yours and belongs to you and you alone." I whisper, reaching my hand out to grab his hand, but pull back.

"When I'm gone, do you ever miss me? Do you wish for me to come back? Do you think about forgetting me for someone else?" Izuku continued the questions.

"Of course I miss you. I wish you would come back. I could never replace you, even if there's someone who's exactly like you. They will never be you." I finish up.

"This wall, can you find it? What we engraved?" Izuku asks. I nod, looking for the message. Found it. I look down and see the message.

Izuku + Shoto
Forever as one
Forever as a whole.

"This meant so much to me, Sho. The day we engraved it. Do you remember?"

~Flashback 2~

Izuku and I watch the water flow in the sunset. The wind is crisp and the air is fresh. I gently turn Izuku to face me. He stares at me with his gentle face. I kiss him, feeling around my back pocket for the velvet box. I slip it out, kneeling on one knee.

"Izuku, I love you. I've always had and I always will. Can you promise to love me just as much as I love you? Midoriya Izuku, will you do me the honor of marrying me?" I ask, a hopeful smile on my face. Izuku is now crying with a huge smile on his face.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes, I will, Shoto!" Izuku shouts, pouncing on me. I laugh and hug him, tears falling out of my own eyes. Izuku pulls away, laughing. I slip the ring on his finger and stand up. I pull him close and kiss him deeply. I feel Izuku smile into the kiss. I place one hand on his lower back and the other one on the back of his head, lowering Izuku into a dip.

"One last thing," I tell him, pulling off my pocket knife. I walk over to our favorite spot on the bridge and start carving. Izuku is hugging me while doing so, bringing comfort to me. "Beautiful," I speak, brushing off the excess concrete. I cradle Izuku in my arms, watching the last rays of the sun fall over the horizon.

"I love you, Sho."

"I love you, too, Izu. Forever and always, you will be mine." I finish, kissing him.

~Flashback end~

"Of course I remember that day. How could I forget it." I speak, feeling the engravement.

"There's so much this bridge has done for us. It got us closer. It showed us love and it reversed time." Izuku whispered, crying. "I wish time would reverse now. I wish it wasn't like this, Sho. Why did this have to happen? Why did we have to break apart?" Izuku wept.

"Izu, we will never break apart. Just know that. Remember that." I say, a tear falling down my face. "I want to see your face, Izu. I want you to know that you're beautiful. Please don't hide your beauty from me, babe." I say, wishing to see his beautiful face. He turns his face slowly and there was a scar that ran down his face, like a knife slash. He was still beautiful.

"I miss you, Sho."

"I miss you, too, Izu. I wish you were here, holding me. But at least now I know that you're going to be at peace." I whimper. Izuku turns around completely and gets off the bridge, walking over to me. He places his cold hand on my cheek. He presses a cold kiss to my warm lips. I try wrapping my arms around me, but I just feel them go to my stomach.

"I will always be with you, Shoto Todoroki. Remember that." Izuku spoke, slowly fading.

"I will, Izuku Todoroki," I whisper out as Izuku is now gone. All that's in front of me are the red, white, and green roses. I kneel to the grave that's in front of the bridge and place the roses there. My hand grazes the words on the stone.

Here lies Izuku Todoroki.
Pro Hero
Loving Husband, and son
You will be missed

More tears fall out of my eyes and fall onto the roses. "Goodbye Izuku. It's hard without you. It's been exactly a year since you left me. I will never forget you. I hope you're waiting for me." I speak, kissing the grave, and getting up. I wipe off the dust and dirt and start walking in the rain home. I open my wallet to see the picture of Izuku and me at our wedding. He was smiling brighter than the sun that day, like always. I put my wallet back, standing tall for Izuku.
