Make My Story: My Hero Academia: Todoroki Shouto

Chapter 3

When I got home, the sun was setting, creating a sky of oranges, pinks, and purples. I was immediately attacked with a hug from my mom and dad when i stepped into the house.

My mom was the first to pull away, "Where were you!? Do you know how worried we were, Katsumi?! Especially after all the trouble Katsuki got into!"

"Trouble?" I question quickly, thinking it had something to do with our fight, "What kind of trouble?"

"Did you not check your phone once?!" My mom shouted.

"It was dead, chill out!"

"Don't tell me to chill out, Missy! I've already had to deal with your brother and sure as hell at afraid of dealing with you too."

"Anyways," I say, rolling my eyes, "What happened?"

"Katsuki got caught by a villian. A boy from your class, Izuku, rushed to save him. It was very brave of him to do that, especially being quirkless. Soon enough, All Might showed up and saved them both."

Oh boy. If Katsuki wasn't already mad today, that's just made it a million times worse.

"Where's 'Suki now?"

"In his room, brooding. You know, the usual. You might want to go and see him. He seemed worried since you weren't home at the usual time."

I internally cringe at the idea of talking to him right now, but I make my way upstairs anyways. I knock on his door and hear him shout, "For the LAST TIME, YOU OLD HAG, I'M NOT EATING TILL KATSUMI GETS-" He stops shouting once he sees me.

I expected him to yell and cuss me out, maybe we'd even get into another fight. But instead, he hugged me. I yelped when he did, as Katsuki rarely showed any affection like this.

"Where were you, you idiot?! You had me worried, I thought you died or something!" He released me from the hug.

I didn't respond, and only glared at him. I was still pissed off, and I felt like I had the right to be. 

"...You're still mad aren't you?"

I didn't respond. I knew he was okay now. I can just go back to my room. So that's what I did. I turned on my heel and headed across the hall into my bedroom. I knew Katsuki followed me, but I shut the door in his face before he could enter. 

"Come on, 'Sumi! Can we at least talk?" He shouted through the door, "I didn't mean what I said. I was just angry!"

I open my door and shout, "Just 'Angry'?! You're always angry, so it's not excuse. Look, I get it, " I sneer, "You're the better half," I spit, "Just do me a favor and leave me alone. Don't even talk to me. I don't feel like dealing with you." 

I slam the door shut, hard. After it's shut, I hear Katsuki shout in frustration and slam his door. Booming sounds were coming from his room, where I could only guess that he was blowing up random items to release his anger. 

I slipped into my bathroom that was connected to my room and took a shower. I cried some more in there, my salty tears mixing with the cool water. I dried off with a fluffy towel and slipped on my favorite pair of PJs. I dashed into the kitchen to grab a quick dinner because I was hungry, and narrowly avoided my parents. I ran back up the stairs and sunk into my comforter, wrapping myself in blankets. I opened my computer and turned on Netflix to watch Howl's Moving Castle and feel asleep as Sophie flew the Witch of the Waste to the walking castle. 

Even after trying to make myself feel better, I still woke up feeling like crap. I had a killer headache and I felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. I sluggishly got up and dressed, buttoning my shirt lazily. I wasn't looking forward to doing anything today. Not going to school, especially not seeing Katsuki. Todoroki. Now that was something to look forward to. That was the only thing I had to keep me motivated today, so I was going to hold onto the idea as tightly as possible.
