Stay With Me

Your Smile Is All That Matters

Izuku walked into the classroom, looking depressed and tired. He took a seat and Uraraka walked up to him, trying to ask him about his condition right now. He shrugged it off, saying he just didn't get enough sleep and that was all. Then he saw Todoroki staring at him. Todoroki walked up to him and giving a concerned look, queried his well being which would have been abnormal under other circumstances. But it was mostly fair because he was dating Izuku. Izuku only saddened more as his chest began to pain madly with heavy feelings of pain, regret, shame, of betrayal, feelings he was familiar with all too well. He wanted to just break down, confront his lover and get some closure. He wanted to be embarced by his lover's muscular arms, those big hands almost covering Izuku's whole face when he cupped them. Izuku felt so safe around him, he had Todoroki as his lifeline. He could trust him to keep him safe and sound. He had a way of making him feel comfortable and at ease whenever he talked to him. The confidence in his firm but soothing deep voice was almost addicting to Izuku's ears. But all that was gone. His whole world was shattered at that very moment he saw Todoroki in an alleyway, kissing a girl.

(Flashback)

He had gone to the grocery store to get some ingredients for his favourite dish, Katsudon.

Just as he was about to pass a dark alley, he heard some moaning and grunting. "Mmmm.... Shouto!" He listened intently, trying to find out what was happening. His instincts told him to run but his heart told him to stay. Suddenly, he heard Todorki's voice, "You're so fucking hot, I just want you here right now." Izuku jumped a bit at what Todoroki just said. He held his mouth over his hand, trying to cover his gasp. He heard more moaning and grunting. He slowly took a peak, trying to see what was happening. He was utterly shocked. He didn't ever imagine, no, he was afraid to think about the possibility that Todoroki, of all people would betray him like this. He felt a pain in his chest, as he began to weep and whimper. Tears fell down his freckled cheeks as he struggled to believe what was actually happening. The other two were too busy in their steamy session to be bothered by bothered by a small noise. Probably, they chalked it up to a stray, weak and starving. Izuku wanted to tear them both away from each other and confront Todoroki but he felt like he was between a killer and a cliff, he couldn't lose Todoroki, even if it was just for a little while more, he wanted to be caressed by his lover, he wanted to feel loved. But a part of him wanted to scream, shout, and cry violently at Todoroki, he was just so damn angry at him. What had he done to deserve this? He was nothing but loyal to Todoroki, he did everything Todoroki asked him. He was really sweet and loving towards Todoroki, he helped Todoroki get over his grudge for his father, make up with his mother. He helped Todoroki become human again. It was always Todoroki in the relationship. He always gave his full time and attention to him, he helped him every single time Todoroki requested him. He was Todoroki's pillar. But it felt like now, he had no use for Izuku anymore. Izuku didn't want to believe this. He had his doubts about their relationship. But he was too love struck to ever bother about his own feelings. He wanted Todoroki too much. He was always so paranoid, so afraid, so frightened and so sick at the thought of losing Todoroki. He wanted to scream in agony as the pain in his chest grew even larger. He was panting for breath as he tried to control his sobs. He couldn't understand. Where had he gone wrong? Was he too clingy? Was he too emotional? Was he too weak? Was he just not attractive? Was he just some side bitch for Todoroki? Did Todoroki have more 'lovers' than him and the bitch Todoroki was so passionately fucking? He pulled on his hair, out of frustration and pure rage. He didn't know how much time had actually passed and soon, he heard Todoroki and the bitch coming his way. He got up and sprinted towards his house. When he came back empty handed, his mother questioned him and upon seeing his teary face, she hugged him and asked him what was wrong. "Todoroki's cheating on me!" She gasped. Izuku started sobbing more violently now. She asked him how he was doing. "I-i-it's not fair, m-mom. I-I've never fallen s-so hard for someone a-a-and have t-them betray me like this." He said in between sobs. Inko hugged him tighter and assured him that everything would be fine. She told Izuku to just let it all out. She had gone through enough to know that bottling up your emotions was never advisable. Izuku sobbed madly, his tears seemed never ending. "It's alright, Izuku", she said with her beautiful, calm soothing voice.
