His Hero | Tododeku

Chapter Twenty Four

Todoroki's POV:

My eyes were still wide, my mind racing. How could he have gotten a picture like this? No one was around..at least...I didn't see anyone. Is there someone spying on me?
It must've been taken this morning because it was a picture of Izuku sitting on my desk and playing with my hair.
"What are you planning?" I asked him, almost afraid to ask.
"That depends."
"On what?" My tone was ice cold. Every bone in my body was desperately wanting to run away, grab Izuku, and hide in some foreign land, but I knew he'd find us and he'd hurt Izuku. If he wasn't already..
"You. Are you or are you not involved with this boy?"
"We're just friends." I lied, my glare dark. I heard the echo as something hard hit my cheek. He grabbed the collar of my shirt as I looked away.
"Look at me." He growled. I rolled my eyes and looked at him. "I don't appreciate being lied to."
"Then why bother asking me?" I retorted quietly.
"What was that?"
"Nothing." I grumbled. He shoved me back, letting go of my shirt. He looked furious as he stood up and stalked towards the door.
"Don't ever talk to this boy again."
"Or what?" I challenged. He turned to me, his glare cold.
"You don't want to find out. It won't be good for either one of you." He shut the door behind him, leaving me alone in the training room. He's always making useless threats to me..Why should it matter who I'm with?
It took me a few moments to get up and walk into my room. As soon as I shut the door, I heard my phone chirp. Reality set in when I saw Izuku's text. He threatened Izuku too...He can't be allowed to hurt such a selfless person.
I turned off my phone and sighed. I walked over to the bed and flopped down on it. I stayed there until my phone chirped again, the same notification.
I- Hey, can you help me with the math homework?
S- Of course, which problem do you need help with?
I- Oh, um....all of them?
I felt myself smile softly.
S- Okay.. let's just start with #1 then.
I- Okay! You're the best, Shoto~kun :)

I spent the rest of the night texting back and forth with Izuku. It was relaxing and got my mind off of the current problems. It was around 10:30pm when we finished talking. After we said goodnight, I decided to turn off my phone and go out for a run. I slipped on my tennis shoes and shut the door behind me. Putting in my earbuds and putting my phone in my pocket, I let the music drown away the world around me.
It was a cloudy night with an occasional crisp wind to fluff up your hair. No one else was out, so no one bothered me. I walked back inside at around 11pm. I laid down on my bed, plugged in my phone, and closed my eyes. I laid there for at least an hour, the worry keeping me awake. I was worried about Izuku again. I knew he could kind of protect himself, but I didn't want it to come to that. I rolled to my side and sighed loudly. This is going to suck..

Midoriya's POV:

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. It was a Thursday morning and I was excited to see Shoto again. I was relieved when he was able to help with the homework last night. I knew a little bit, but I was kind of distracted yesterday.
I smiled down at the little bunny sleeping next to me. Small Might would always stay curled up next to my face at night. It was sweet and relaxing to hear his little squeaks.
I stood up and got ready quickly. I looked in the mirror and smiled softly at myself. I caught the sight of the scar on my cheek.
"Today's going to be a good day!" I told myself before any gloomy thoughts could come. I grabbed my bag off of my desk and waved to Small Might.
"See you later!" I called and walked out of my bedroom. I walked into the kitchen to see my mom.
"Morning Mom! What're you cooking?" I asked her.
"Oh, morning, Izuku~kun. I'm just cooking some rice. Do you want some? I think you may have some time." Correction, I have like two minutes, but breakfast is important, so why not?
"Sure!" I smiled softly. She handed me a bowl and I filled it with a raw egg and rice. I grabbed chopsticks and walked over to the table. (A/N: It's a popular breakfast in Japan called Tamago Kake Gohan I think. It's just white or brown rice, a raw egg, and soy sauce.)
I hastily ate the food and was just about to rush off again before my mom stopped me.
"Before you go, take some toast with you...and don't run and eat at the same time, okay?"
"Okay, I won't." I smiled brightly at her and took the toast she offered. "Alright, then I'm off! I'll be back home after school."
"Oh, um, would you mind running to the grocery store for me after school? I have a meeting and won't be able to pick up groceries before dinner."
"Of course."
"Thank you. I'll text you the list!" She said as I slipped on my shoes.
I walked out of the door and quickly ran to school. I managed to make it in my seat right as the bell rang. Mr. Aizawa walked in and grumbled quietly about not getting enough sleep.
"Alright class, get out your homework and turn it in." He said. We all pulled out our papers and passed them up towards the front row. The people in the front row brought the papers up to Mr. Aizawa before sitting back down.
"Okay, good. We'll start on our lesson now."
