Identity || Shoto Todoroki x Villain Reader

Chapter Thirty One - Brave

Your POV

There was a knock on my door. "Yes?" I answered.

"Problem Child, are you coming with me to the dorms or are you going to want to wait until you actually have to get there?" Aizawa asked.

"I'm coming with you," I answered. I grabbed my bag of my belongings and followed Aizawa out the room.

We started on our walk together. We didn't talk about anything. We were used to being around each either in silence it wasn't awkward, uncomfortable, or anything like that.

"Hey, Dad..." I started. I got Aizawa's attention, "Do you think people are scared of me again?"

"I don't know what they think," he replied, "But that shouldn't matter to you. You know who you are. What they say shouldn't matter. You shouldn't be reading those articles about you what did Mrs. Matsu say about them."

I haven't. It's just... I'm scared of myself. So I'd understand why other people would be scared of me.

Aizawa didn't really know what to say, but he tried anyway. "Times are tough for you right now. But you're still the same girl you were before training camp even happen. You were so happy and that smile of yours was on your face. That's still you."

Happy?

The rest the day went by really quick. Everyone was moving in so I didn't have to talk to anyone. I was my own.

My room wasn't fancy or anything. It had my bed, my desk with my supplies as well as framed pictures of my family as well as with Shoto and his family, bookshelves, a wall of weapons, and Aizawa dropped off the cats because they officially love me more than my parents.

There was a space in my room with open wall where I could write my thoughts. That spot had a sheet over it just in case anyone ever wanted to come in.

There was a knock on my door, I was wondering who it could be. I got up to open it. Shoto stood in front of me.

"Hey, wassup?" I asked.

"Just checking on you and also Aizawa is waiting for you outside," Shoto said.

I forgot that I was back to going to therapy every day instead of every other day. Training camp really messed up with my head. I sighed. Today was the day, I was going to the orphanage and I had to face all the kids after what had happened. My schedule was orphanage then therapy.

"Okay, thanks." I replied. Shoto left after he kissed my forehead. I grabbed my things and headed out.

I hadn't really been talking to Shoto as much especially after seeing his brother. I felt like I should tell him but at the same time, it wouldn't feel right. Dabi told me not to. An argument could be: he's a villain why should you listen to him? My response to that would be: he's still human.

I think people forget that at the core we're all just people. I understand both sides of the argument for both heroes and villains. It really didn't take much to lean on either side.

Most of the kids were still in school when I got there. Only the three-year-olds and younger were still at the orphanage. They couldn't understand what was going on so I was fine with them.

As time went back, the kids started coming home starting with the younger ones. I helped them with their homework, talked and played with them, readied them for their therapy sessions.
