I Blame Me (Tododeku) [Completed]

19 ~ Issues

Midoriya's POV

I was so embarrassed. I pet him like a cat (or dog) for so long. "W-Well, for petting you like that for so long." I replied, looking at my hands, knowing how red my face must be at the moment. "O-Oh, well. I don't exactly mind. I kinda liked it, to be perfectly honest." Todoroki trailed off, his face growing a darker red and looking away a bit.

"Y-You really didn't mind?" I asked, feeling a slight warmth fill my chest. "No. It felt really relaxing." Todoroki said in an almost whisper, not looking back at me. His ears showed just how embarrassed he was and it made me giggle a bit. "You're actually really cute when you open up." I said, having no control of my mouth. Todoroki looked at me, his face almost as red as Kirishima's hair.

"T-Thanks?" Todoroki responded, more as a question. I didn't know what to say or how to respond to him, so I stayed quite. I looked down at my hands to hide my embarrassment. The atmosphere quickly got awkward and it only made my blush burn hotter. "Hey Mido. " Todoroki suddenly said, cutting the silence easily. I looked up and Todoroki's face no longer had any hint of red or pink.

"Y-Yeah?" I replied, stuttering due to his suddenness and my nervousness. "I know it's weird to ask, but will you play with my hair again?" Todoroki asked, his face going red again. I felt every bit of anxiety drain from my body as I felt myself smile. "Sure!" I said, a bit louder than intended due to excitement. 'Why does he even ask? His hair is so soft, I'd love too.' I thought, taking a step forward, my hand finding his hair in an instant.

I felt a bit of jealousy spread through me. 'It's so soft and my hair hair is just a curly, untamable, green mess.' I thought, my hands slowly gliding through his bi-colored hair. 'Todo has so many good features. He's gorgeous and has amazing hair. He's tall and has a good hold in his emotions. Pretty much everything I'm not.' I thought, a small sting filling my eyes.

Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face and gracefully falling from my chin onto the floor. I took my hands out of Todoroki's hair and felt my cheeks. I wiped my damp face numerous times but more tears just kept falling. "Ah, Mido. What did I do?" Todoroki asked, his hand grabbing the back of my head and pulling it to his chest.

He had completely engulfed me in a warm hug, making more tears fall. I kept my hands on my face and felt as my palms catch my tears. "Why are you crying? Did I cause it?" Todoroki asked, his fingers combing through my unruly hair. I shook my head against his chest, my tears seemingly endless. "I'm j-just so pathetic. Y-You're so perfect a-and I'm so... I don't know, so broken." I explained, choking on my newly formed sobs and sniffles. I pulled away, not looking at him as I continued to wipe my face uselessly.

My hands were soaked with my tears and you could see two wet spots on Todoroki's shirt. "I'm sorry." I said, without a real reason. I got no response and decided that it'd be better if I didn't look at Todoroki's face. 'He must think I'm annoying and just a crybaby. He probably hates me right now.' I thought, knowing deep down that it would eventually happen anyway.

"Dammit." I swore, my face starting to hurt from all the relentless rubbing and wiping. "Mido." Todoroki started, not finishing. "What?" I asked, a sharp venom filling my voice. "Come here." I looked up to see Todoroki pointing to the floor right in front of him. I just stared for a bit before being interrupted.

"I'm not asking." Todoroki said, a bit of frustration starting to seethe through his normally calming voice. I looked down again as more tears fell and my body stayed motionless. "Fine then." Todoroki said. My body froze as I saw his feet approaching my own. Todoroki stopped when our toes were no more than three inches apart. "Look at me Mido." Todoroki demanded, his voice turning cold and I could feel his stare.

I tried to move, but I was so scared that he'd hate me that I couldn't even move. "Don't make me ask again." Todoroki said, his words getting a lot softer, but still terrifying. It was quiet for a few seconds before I heard Todoroki sigh and felt his arms wrap around my hips before being lifted. My body finally decided that it would move and I started squirming. "Oh, so you can move." Todoroki stated sarcastically, plopping me onto my soft mattress. He had his hands on either side of my head, his knees next to both sides of my hips, straddling me.

"Now you have to look at me." Todoroki said, no emotion in his face what so ever. My eyes were huge and my breathing faltered. "Who said I was perfect?" Todoroki asked, his eyes luring me in. "M-Me." I replied, barely above a whisper. "Who said you're pathetic?" He asked, the anger from before feeling his eyes. "Me." I mumbled. 'And Kacchan.' I thought, looking to my right side, but not for long as Todoroki grabbed my chin and turned it back to him.

"And who said you're broken?" Todoroki asked, not letting me off the hook. I didn't even reply, we both already knew the answer. "That's right, you did. No one thinks less of you than you." Todoroki said, not holding anything back. "Sure." I said, moving my eyes away from his. "God dammit, Mido. Look at me!" Todoroki shouted, making me flinch. 'I didn't mean to make him mad.' I thought, regret starting to mix in with all the other emotions.

I slowly trailed my eyes back to his, knowing full well how unhappy he was. "You may seem to be broken, but that doesn't mean you no longer have a value of your own." Todoroki said, his eyes filling with tears of his own. "I have issues Todo. A lot of issues, so why do you love me? I can't understand why." I said with as much bitterness as I could possibly manage. Angry tears slid down my temples and made their way to my ears, drowning out a bit of sound.
