Shielding (Todoroki x reader)

5~ Don't leave me, please

~Nurse's Office 2 days later~

(Y/n's P.O.V)

My head feels fuzzy... I opened my eyes slightly and turned my head. "Todoroki? Wha- why are you here?" I asked weakly, confused. "You're awake." he stated. "Um. Yeah. How long has it been? My head hurts." I said. "Two days. You probably hit your head on a rock when you were hit by the Nomu." "Nomu? The demon creature thing?" I asked, and he nodded, then said "I'm here because I wanted to thank you. I should've reacted quicker, or gotten out of the way. Without your help, who knows what could've happened. I also wanted to ask why you did it. You were already injured, and I was so far away. Why would you take unnecessary risks to save anyone, let alone me?" "Um, well, you're welcome. Uh, I mean, you saved me from getting trampled in the hallway." "So it was just a repayment for a favor?" he asked, looking kinda disappointed.

(Todoroki's P.O.V)

It was just a repayed favor, nothing more? She doesn't care? Why does no one actually care? "Hey... no. You're my classmate. And I've known you the longest, besides that bastard Bakugou and nerd Midoriya." She said, reaching out and resting her hand on my arm. "Huh, you have?" I asked, then saw then burn mark peeking through her hair. "You're the girl from the soba bar?!" I realized, startled. She paused for a second, then sighed and laughed "Yeah, I am! It took you until now to figure out?" "Yeah." I said not understanding what was so funny. She just sighed and closed her eyes and smiled. "I'm tired..." she whispered, drifting off. "Already? How? You haven't even been up for 8 minutes." I protested, but by the time I finished, she had already fallen asleep. I sighed and smiled, and tried to stand but realized her hand was still on my arm, and when I tried to move, she scrunched up her face and tugged on my sleeve. I sat back down. I'm pretty tired too... I fell asleep with her next to me, and I didn't feel quite as alone.

(Kaminari's P.O.V) (cause wtf not)

"Hey, (Y/n)! You up?!" I yelled, opening then door for the class to come in. (Y/n) was the student with the worst injuries. Midoriya had woken up already, so we were just waiting for (Y/n). I had tried to get Todoroki to come, but he just ignored me like the stuck up kid he is. "SHhhh!" Recovery Girl whispered. "Hmm?" Recovery Girl pointed over to where (Y/n)'s bed was. She was sleeping peacefully... and holding on to Todoroki's arm?!?! "That bastard snuck off to spend more time with the girl, that's why he wouldn't come! I wonder what perverted things he did to that poor sleeping girl!" Mineta whispered to me. "You really are disgusting, Mineta." Sero commented. "So sweet~" Hagakure and Mina cooed. "Let's leave, she needs her rest." Momo said, a hint of a sour expression on her face. "Why does HE get to stay?" I asked, pointing at Todoroki, annoyed that he had went before us. Recovery Girl sighed and responded "Miss Takami has been getting nightmares, and they seem to be less violent when she knows Todoroki is by her side." "How do you know? It's not fair." Mineta protested, receiving  harsh whack over the head from Recovery Girl's cane. She walked over to Todoroki and woke him up. She whispered something to him, and he nodded, looking concerned. He stood up, and shook (Y/n)'s hand away. (Y/n)'s face scrunched up, almost like she was in pain, then she started hyperventilating in her sleep, before shooting up into a sitting position. "Wha?" she yelped, looking terrified, putting her head in her hands. Todoroki came back to her and sat on the edge of the bed, and held out his hand, and (Y/n) took it, her whole body trembling. "That was... an ordeal." I heard Jiro comment quietly. We decided we'd just welcome her back when she came back to class.

~Next day~

(Y/n's P.O.V)

"Thank you Recovery Girl!" I said, walking out of the door. Todoroki had to leave so I walked out alone. I felt bad for making him stay for so long. But it was really nice that he did, considering he didn't have to. "Omph!" I heard someone grunt just as I smacked straight into them. "(Y/n)." "Oh, sorry Shinso. I was lost in thought." "It's alright. I heard about what happened at USJ, and I also heard about your impressive heroism. I thought I'd drop by with some of your favorite chips. I'm glad you're better." he responded, handing me a bag of chili lime chips. "Awww thanks 'buddy'." I snickered. "Hey, we may be friends, but don't push it. I will take those chips back." he chuckled. "NO NOT THE CHIPS THESE ARE MINE YOU'RE NOT GETTING THEM BACK." I screeched. "Jeez calm down." he laughed. We parted ways, and I took off. It was a bit shaky, cause I hadn't flown in almost 4 days, and my wings got pretty beat up from the fall and punch. I looked up and saw some falcons slowly circling above. I went up to join them, and glided in circles in the warm updrafts. I looked over at the falcons who were unbothered by my presence. They simply parted and gave me a space among them.

(Midoriya's P.O.V)

I watched the falcons circle above on my walk after school. I saw a larger falcon-like figure join them. I strained my eyes and saw that it wasn't a falcon or another bird, but (Y/n). I got out my notebook and scribbled down that she could fly at high altitudes, and other birds seemed to see her as an equal. I watched in fascination, then decided to test something. I raised my hand and waved up to her, to see if she did have the raptor vision of a falcon, to see how much her variant of Fierce Wings differed from her brother Hawks' quirk. She separated from the flock, making a banking turn, the folding her wings and shot through the air towards me at an incredible speed. She opened her wings, coming to an abrupt stop, then landed at my side. We walked together, and she was surprisingly tolerant of my questions, and for one of the first times ever, I saw her smile.
