TODOROKI POV

I'm stressing out. That's the easiest way to put it. I'm shaking and nervous which is extremely uncharacteristic for me, but how could I NOT be? I'm going on my first date with my soulmate, the person I was born to be with. Just thinking about his beautiful emerald orbs makes my heart flutter, but this is no time to be lovesick. Deep breaths Shoto.

IZUKU POV

AHHHHHHH! I have my date I have my date I have my date! I'm freaking out and I'm sure I look like a walking tomato as I pace my room thinking of what to wear.

"A black shirt? No that seems too gloomy. All Might shirt? Of course not! Although he's my favorite hero that'd make me look too childish. Maybe some sweats? Ugh no because I don't want him to think I'm taking this too lightly. How about a white t-shirt with black pants? Perfect!"

After my long ramble I changed into a white t-shirt, some black pants, and a dark green zip up hoodie (it's supposed to rain). Now I'm ready to go. I calm my nerves and step out of my room.

"Bye mom! I'll be back in a few hours!" Mom had gotten home yesterday morning and was tired from her trip.

"Okay honey be safe!"
"Okay mom!" With that I walked out the door and went to the café I was meeting Todoroki.
TIME SKIP

I walked into the café and chose a small booth in the corner so we could at least be away from the crowd. As I sat down a waiter with a familiar brown bob came up to me.

"Hey deku! What are you doing here?"

"Oh hey Uraraka! I'm here waiting for Todoroki, we're uh kinda going on a date..." I could feel my face heat up after that last part, but It wasn't just me blushing, she was too.

"O-oh I see... well have fun!" I could tell that her once genuine smile was now fake. I wonder why? I mean we had grown close on the first day of school but still, she couldn't like me could she? Nah, not possible, Shoto is the only person for me and I'm glad he is. Uraraka is nice but I'd never date her, not my type, plus, she has a soulmate of her own. A certain "TI" would sweep her off her feet one day. After an awkward silence she walked away and I sat there alone waiting for my date to walk through the door.

As if on cue, a familiar bicolored head of hair walked in. I know our relationship has been going really quickly, but I can't help but fall in love with this beautiful boy that was walking toward me making my stomach do summer salts.

"Hey Izuku~" he said as he rubbed the back of his neck kinda awkwardly.

"Hey Shoto!" After seeing my smile he relaxed and smiled back. I love his smile.

"Hey Sho?"
"Yeah Izu?"
"You should smile more, it's beautiful. Not that you're not beautiful when you don't smile! It's just, your smile makes my day that much better because it's a rare thing to see," oh no, I got kinda flustered and rambled... not good Izuku! Well, at least I earned a small smile matched with a small chuckle from him.

"If you think my smile is so good, you should see your own. Your smile makes me smile," he said which made me blush and look down.

"N-no n-not really... my smile is just a smile, nothing special..."

"Stop being so modest, you're smile makes everyone happy, and with good reason." I blushed more than I ever thought I could when I felt a very familiar hand snake its way up to my thigh, but not in a sexual way, in a comforting way, the way a friend would. He must have seen my very visible blush because he moved his hand away and apologized.

I grabbed his hand and held it in my own.
"It's fine, it just startled me that's all." With a blush dusting his face he nodded and brought his hand back to his side.

"So! Let's start seeing what we want to eat!" I said as a way to break the silence.

After we ordered the day went very smoothly. We rambled on about the smallest of things that somehow made us crack up for no reason at all. We went by to grab ice cream as we walked to the beach which is where we are now. We were both sitting on the shoreline with our hands intertwined.

"Hey Sho?"
"Yeah Izu?"
"I really don't mean to be rude, but why were you going to jump? I mean I know you've told me little bits and pieces about why but I feel like you're leaving something out..." He sighed and I immediately felt bad.

"I-I'm sorry! You don't need to answer that!" I started to move away from him to give him space when I felt his arms wrap around my waist and pull me onto him. I was now sitting in his lap with his head buried in the crook of my neck.

"It's okay, I think it's time you know. I can't keep it a secret for much longer and I've hated keeping this secret from you." I put my arms around his neck and touched our foreheads together and whispered, "I'm listening." He took a deep breath and started.

"My father is Endeavor. To most people this would seem like a great thing. Having a hero as a father, getting to live with a lot of money, and being well known... but it's not. It's a living hell. One I want to forever escape. You see, my dad married my mother for her powerful quirk. He wanted a child with a quirk so powerful it would be able to surpass even All Mights's power."

"He had my siblings, but they were deemed too weak to be the child he wanted so he pushed them aside and had me: his masterpiece. I was the only child born to gain both his and my mother's quirk. Starting from when I was just a little child, he started having me train. From morning till night I would have to put in countless hours of pain and suffering. If I messed up or refused to train, he'd abuse me. I wasn't the only one he abused though. For years he had abused my mother and it drove her to madness."

"Although she is a kind person at heart, my father made her a completely different person. One day, she had had enough and she called her mom saying how she thought everyday I became more and more like my father. Little did she know, I was listening. I made the mistake of calling out to her because when she saw me, she threw boiling water at my left eye..." he reached up and touched the scar around his blue eye.

At this point tears welled up in my eyes even though I wasn't the one who went through this. Todoroki never deserved any of it, and yet he got it. I was about to say I was sorry when he continued to speak.

"After that, he sent her away and only pushed me harder in training. As the years went on, he abused me more often and a lot more roughly. The first day of school I had to miss because he had knocked me unconscious for refusing to train. I went back to the school to tell Aisawa I was sorry for missing class, then it hit me: this was my time to disappear. I walked up to the roof to jump, but that's when I found you, my lovely Izuku, my soulmate, and my savior. You make me so happy Izuku, and I can only pray you never leave me."

"Sho... I'm so sorry you had to go through that..." now I was crying more than him. He had tears flowing down his cheeks and his head looking down. I picked his chin up to make him look at my tear filled eyes.

"Sho I'm sorry that happened to you, but I'm here now and I'm never going to let anything happen to you. I love you more than the stars love the night sky and I need you more than flowers need the sun. Shoto, I promise I will never leave you, you are my happily ever after and I hope I'm yours."

He started crying loudly now as to when seconds ago it was silent tears flowing. I hugged him tight planting butterflies kisses on his head whispering "I love you" and "it's okay" into his ears. Once he had calmed down a bit he looked up to me.

"Izuku *sniff* you a-are my happily e-ever after... and I- I l-love you so damn m-much..." he leaned forward and kissed me passionately and I kissed back.

I swear to every god that exists... God, Zuez, Jupiter, whatever all powerful being there is, I will love and protect this boy with my life.
