After 5 months of being in an relationship, Deku decided to call it quits. Grabbing his sentimental items and sulking in his own sadness all day was the best he could do to disappear from everyone. His best friend Kirishima has finally had enough wi...
Loud knocks on the door rang from the entrance of my apartment as it disturbed my sleep. I grumbled as it continued to echo around my complex. It sounded frantic but I was so tired to even bother to get up, maybe they could take the hint that I am not in the mood for chit chat.
"Izuku?" Todoroki's voice sounded from behind the door as it was loud enough for me to hear, my heart tightened as butterflies squirmed around in my stomach. I didn't know what to do! I was in my pajamas and now someone I like is at the door waiting for me to answer. And I thought it was dumb stranger.
"In a second!" I stammered out the bed and quickly put a sweatshirt on, I felt so alarmed. I didn't expect him to be at my door. My face felt like it was burning; probably because I was so damn flustered.
As I approached the door, I hesitated to open it. I didn't know what he wanted and it felt nerve racking to even hear what he had to say. Once I opened it, Todoroki quickly rushed in and hugged me tight. There was a sense of urgency in his body language as he held me close.
"I heard what happened between you and Kirishima." He finally spoke, "he told me things that I don't believe, and no matter how much information he told me, it only made me want to worry about you."
"Todoroki-"
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you." he sounded solemn as he held me. And for once I felt so comfortable, a feeling I haven't felt in a while.
"You don't have to be sorry for anything." I reassured him as I wrapped my arms around his back. And even if it was early in the morning, I felt tears drip down my eyes. I wasn't even sad. But, so happy. "I'm glad you're here."
Todoroki looked down at me and wiped my tears away, he slowly gazed into my eyes while doing so. "don't cry." he leaned in and picked me up, carrying me back to my bed.
All of this was so sudden. Just before I was in my cold still bed, angry and annoyed by the obnoxious knocking of the door. But when it was Todoroki, my feelings changed so very quickly. Whenever it's him, my emotions always seemed to elevate. It was such a confusing feeling, a feeling I haven't felt in a while. I enjoyed it though. I enjoyed how it was so different from what I always felt in the past. I didn't know what it was though, I'm already so emotionally damaged that I couldn't tell the difference between happiness and sadness.
"I'm sorry I woke you, you look so tired. Maybe I should've come at another time but, I was worried that if I came too late you would've assumed that Kirishima had convinced me to stay away from you." he said softly as he lie me down on the cold sheets of my bed. He sat down beside me and stared down at me, "sorry for intruding as well."
"No it's alright, I'm glad you're here! I'm glad you care! You're not intruding, I'm just so relieved." I quickly grabbed his hand and held it gently. Many things buzzed through my body, it felt weird and strange but, what I felt the most was happiness. "Whenever you're with me, it feels as if I have nothing else to worry about." I cringed as those words fell from my mouth unexpectedly. But Todoroki shown no judgement in his eyes but instead turned a little pink.
"And when I'm with you it feels as if I can't focus on anything else but you." and in that moment both of us cringed as embarrassment swamped the whole room. To direct the conversation elsewhere he put it back on topic, "anyways, what happened to you and Kirishima for him to even say those things?" anger tinted his voice.
"Well I went to Kacchan to apologize for the nasty words that I had said to him a few weeks ago and things went out of hand. Kacchan and I almost kissed and Kirishima got so mad-" I trailed off as the story I tried to explain exploited me into anger.
"It sounds like Kirishima is in love with Bakugo. But it was easy to tell since the beginning."
"The beginning?"
"Before I met you, I used to visit Bakugo often. Kirishima would be all over Bakugo, and Bakugo kind of seemed annoyed at times but never confronted his irritation."
"That must've been when Kacchan and I were still dating." I laughed as the feeling of stupidity circled around me and put its hands around my neck.
Todoroki looked at me and nodded his head, guilt seemed to clog his eyes as he turned away. "If I knew beforehand I would've stopped it. But when Bakugo spoke about you, it made me jealous. Because he was my friend since day one, and he never had time for me anymore because he was always with you. Of course, the tables have turned. Now I feel like a complete idiot for treating you the way I did."
"I guess you were kind of an asshole but, I can't blame you." I sat up and scooted to sit next to Todoroki, "you just wanted your friend back." I tried to smile a bright one but, it felt heavy. "Kacchan is a good person if I were to say in general but he hurt me too much, so it's hard to say anything now."
Todoroki seemed to notice my desperate reassuring smile as he frowned a bit, as if he didn't like it when I felt unhappy. "You know it's ok to be lonely sometimes and not have the best of friends. It's Kirishima's loss and the same goes for Bakugo too. What they both did to you was fucked up and I hate to shit talk but, Bakugo is an absolute dick for him to be treating you like that."
"You know it's fine-"
"It's not fine Izuku! Don't take other people's bullshit and make it your fault. You'll only put yourself down more! You need to stop for once and realize that this is not ok and acknowledge that you're not fine. Kirishima and Bakugo do not deserve your forgiveness and you need to finally stand up for yourself. These people have been treating you like shit for so long but, you don't do anything about it. You don't have to act soft around me Izuku, it's ok to be angry. You have every right to be angry." frustration and anger shown in his eyes as he hugged me, "Stand up for yourself, I hate seeing you hurt. I don't want to feel angry every time you're sad. Problems are problems but don't address them as a fault. You're strong you know that?"
I felt my heart soar as Todoroki said those empowering words. My whole body felt weak and my mind went dizzy. Those words felt so real, rebuilding my character and encouraging me to do better with how I act. Todoroki released from my hug and kissed me softly on the lips.
"Thank you so much-h." tears escaped from my eyes as I immediately collapsed on him, causing us to fall to the floor.
"Thank you for everything." I buried my face in his chest and snuggled in tight. At this point I didn't care anymore, it was If all those problems I longed to fix, were gone. Like they finally left me in peace. And at that moment, it felt as if everything was going to be ok. He was the one I wanted to be with.
"I love you Todoroki."
