Forty Five

I was still with Shoto, but instead of hugging him I was sitting in the chair next to him so we could talk more. I told him all the funny things he missed and stories from 1-A. Shoto was hanging on to every word and we both laughed along.

"That's when Mineta got stuck onto the wall for five hours!" I giggled.

Shoto burst out laughing. "I wish I had been there to see that!"

We chuckled a little and I then started at Shoto. It seemed so unreal that after all this time I was finally laughing with Shoto again. I then asked Shoto a question. "Shoto, are you going back to Ketsubutsu? Does your father even know you're here?"

My boyfriend was silent. "He knows..." Shoto said quietly, "he just didn't want to come. Fuyumi told me that. It's funny, really. He says I'm his favorite child, but he treats me like absolute shit. I don't know what to think of my family anymore..."

I put my hand in his own. "I'm sorry to hear that, Shoto. I wish I could get you away from him," I told him sadly, looking down at my feet.

"Izuku..." Shoto lifted my chin and stared right at me. "You don't have to say you're sorry, you did nothing wrong. Let's just pray I can go back to U.A," he smiled softly.

Losing my sad expression, I smiled along with him. We leaned in and kissed each other again. I could never be sad when I was with or kissing Shoto. Shoto and I released our lips from the kiss and we both gave one another a dopey look.

After some time had passed, it was time for me to leave. I gave Shoto a hug and said goodbye. I could tell he wasn't happy that I had to leave, and I wasn't either. I left his room and got down to the first floor of the hospital. I saw Nurse Akeno talking with her colleagues and then she saw me. "Oh, Izuku!" She said happily and went over to me.

"Hi, Akeno!" I smiled.

"I see you know that Mr. Todoroki is now awake," Akeno smiled.

I nodded, and I hugged her. "Thank you so much, Akeno. You really helped me through all this." Some happy tears escaped my eyes.

I felt Akeno hug me back. "Of course, honey. It's my job to help people like your boyfriend."

We stood there for a while, just hugging. Akeno and I then broke apart and I thanked Akeno again. She told me not to mention it and I said goodbye to her as well. I walked back to the dorms with a little skip in my step, feeling a big smile on my face.

...

"Young Midoriya, you can't just be leaving the dorms without permission!" All Might scolded me and I hung my head, looking down at my shoes. 

All Might sighed. "Look, I know Young Todoroki woke up and you really wanted to see him, but that isn't an excuse. I'll let this slip this time, but I'm going to punish you next to you do this."

I looked up at my mentor. "Thanks, All Might. I won't do it again."

"You better not do it again, Young Midoriya. I'm warning you. Anyway...How is Young Todoroki doing?" Asked All Might, no longer that mad at me than before.

"He's doing good. But, he still has to stay in the hospital for a week so he can get used to his meds and walking around. Otherwise, Shoto's fine," I informed All Might. 

"Maybe one of these days the whole class can go and visit him. It's been way too long since we saw Young Todoroki last," commented All Might.
