Tododeku One-Shots

Fears {F}

The two lovers were forced to face fears and dangerous situations on a daily basis, that others would likely avoid in their entire lifetime.

It rarely the physical danger to themselves that came first.

Since being a small child, young Todoroki was shown to learn and live among fear, and in his own home. There was fear the day he turned 4 and was deemed completely suitable for the harshest training his father would give him. Fears started from the startling wake up calls, before the sun had even risen.

Just days after his father caught sight of his fire and ice quirks developing, he had begun a gruesome training schedule. Scars, bruises and burns all along his body, became the norm from the father-son daily spars. Fear became near crippling anxiety every morning he woke up. It wasn't just the fear of pain, but the fear of losing his other family members had he not complied.

He rarely got to see his siblings and mother, and the thought he'd be more isolated from them, was frightening. As Todoroki got a bit older, he developed a deeper fear, hearing the conversations outside his parent's door, his mother arguing for his sake, and his father focused on creating the perfect hero.

Day by day around his father, it became apparent he wasn't a person to his father, he was his quirks, and their potential. Still there were nights comforting and lulling him to sleep, when he was able to be beside his mom and watch "All MIght", his father could never know of that adoration of course. He had a safe place.

Or it seemed. His father hadn't given just him fear but his mother as well. That day he saw his mother crying, that day fear emerged from his mother. She poured that boiling hot water on his face, and he had been afraid. The physical pain had hurt tremendously. But the worst fear was the thought of losing his mother, and his father worked towards keeping her away.

Entering the academy, he hadn't expected to ever find a place of refuge, away from his own constant fears, despite how they had numbed, they still persisted, often at night

He hardly expected his world to change as he met the incredibly warm and ethereal being that was Izuku Midoriya. His soulmate, who had changed the world around him. The fears he hadn't focused on, the fears of losing himself to his left side, Midoriya gave him the strength. He loved him through it all.

Behind sparkling green eyes and entrancing freckles, Todoroki was certain he had found an angel. One who was right them with him, through all of his fears. Midoriya had his own fears too, his early life involving a fear most disheartening the fear of having to leave behind a dream forever, the fear of losing who he always needed to be. He always counted his blessings, but Todoroki considered the boy to be his greatest blessing at all.

Here they were sitting across from each other at a coffee shop. Hero Deku and Hero Shouto, looking lovingly into each other's eyes. Yes, their relationship too led to fears, fears of the unknown, that painful and brilliant emotion that came with falling in love. Yet, they were there together, and shared that pain between them each step of the way.

Midoriya smiled, reaching his hand out across towards his lover who was looking over the menu. "So we're finally going to tell the world, Shoto," Midoriya interlaced his fingers within the dual-toned heroes.

The other returned with a soft smile, "Yeah, officially. I'm sure most have the fans have already suspected it by now, we're not all that-" Todoroki flushed holding a hand over his cheek, "Subtle"

"Oh-ah-y-yeah, sorry about that," Midoriya smiled innocently, cheeks flushing as he recalled earlier moments, stealing not so innocent kisses from his boyfriend after successful mission was completed. His grin indicated he was anything but.

"I'm not so sure about that, Midoriya, " Shouto smirked at the younger boy, and placed the cafe's menu down on the table. He caressed his other hand on top of Izuku's hand, and softly pulled the hand towards him. His lips pressed upon the top of the other's hand, "But it's, I wouldn't have it any other way."

Midoriya returned that sentiment with a flushed and beaming smile that never failed to take Todoroki's breath away. Midoriya leaned over the table quickly sealing his lips over Shouto's, the waitress who came by their table had a flushed smile, as she bowed her head, "I'll give you two a few minutes,"

Midoriya was flustered, leaning back looking quite innocent, despite how he was often the one to start these things, and Todoroki loved them all the same. Todoroki smirked at the younger male across the table, "Acting innocent now," as he saw the boy's eyes glancing over the menu

Midoriya glanced up with a mischievous glint in his smile, "What I love kissing you," he confessed so softly and earnestly, Todoroki had to return the favor. "And I love you Shouto,"

"I love you, Izuku," Shouto placed another kiss on the boy's hand. Midoriya breathed against the other's lips. He had smiled, but started twiddling with his fingers.

"Yes?" Shouto prompted, raising an eyebrow.

"You're not worried about what people will say when it's out there everyone?" Midoriya asked hesitantly. The fear of how the world would see them.

"As long as you're with me It makes no difference to me. If you mean my dad, well we've been at odds for as long as I can remember. I'm proud to be your boyfriend Midoriya, and have nothing to hide. One day maybe even more." Shouto winked, melting at the sight of his boyfriend's flustered face.

"I-i'd like that," Midoriya mumbled, eyes glancing away from his love's for a moment, before they returned to their usual holding place. Todoroki held a wicked smile as he leaned forward, whispering right into Izuku's ear, "And maybe I really like the idea of everyone knowing you're all mine," he cooed out the words in a deep and breathy voice. Midoriya shuttered against the words, and quickly burying his face between his hands, which spread out enough to steal glances of his beautiful boyfriend across from him.

"Beautiful," Todoroki whispered.

Midoriya flushed again, and shook his head back and forth wildly. "Me? Have you looked in a mirror? But really I'm kind of nervous about this but...I think it'll be kind of nice in a way to."

The red-white haired hero grasped for one of Izuku's hands that had been covering his face, and brought it closer to himself. "Izuku, my love. Regardless of what anyone says or does after this won't matter so long as I have you with me, I won't be afraid," Todoroki took the boy's hand in his planting kisses on every inch of skin he could find, peppering his love with kisses.

"I suppose it's good we're working as a Duo," Midoriya laughed softly, eyes welling with tears, and his heart still racing from the amorous attention his Shouto was giving to him.

Yes, with this new connection came it's own set of fears. The fear of loss, but so long as they were together, side by side, they'd ensure to keep that fear far from ever coming to fruition. Together they would be each other's heroes.
