..... Todoroki's POV .....

  "Midoriya," I pull him into a hug as he clenches his teeth and hold tears back "he will be back I know it."

  The only response I get is his whole body trembling. He looks at me with very glossy eyes. He cracks a smile and in a very rash voice responds.

  "I know." His smile slowly fades away but he fights to keep it alive
  "Let's take you home." He nods and starts walking

  I walk beside him, glancing his way every now and then. His eyes are starting to get puffy and tears are slowly escaping. That damn Bakugo, hurting him. Telling him he's done? That's just not right, he needs a day to clear his head.

  "You know Midoriya, Bakugo will be back for you, he just needs to clear his head." I look down at him

  His smile fades as he thinks. He wipes his cheeks and looks up at me. His smile gone.

  "You really think?" His voice is no longer as hoarse sounding, it just sounds sad
  "I do." I lean down and kiss his forehead
  "Good..." Midoriya looks at his feet and he creeps a small smile

  I smile as well knowing he isn't forcing the smile. We arrive at his house and we enter. We take our shoes off and then we enter the living room. Midoriya turns the tv on and it plays some silly cartoon. I get up and walk to the kitchen. I grab a couple waters and I scoop some ice cream in a bowl for Midoriya. When I get back he looks up, his eyes sparkle now from the ice cream. I hand him his bowl.

"Thank you." He mumbles then shoved a mouth full of ice cream in
"You are welcome." I look over to him before I take a bit of ice cream too

We sit on the couch while the cartoon plays. After what feels like an hour he stands up, setting his bowl down. Midoriya stretches his back and arms.

"Where are you going?" I look up at him
"I have to use the bathroom." He shuffles past me and walks off

I pull my phone out. I scroll through my contacts. I hit Bakugo. I debate on sending him a text or not. He does need to think about everything himself but Midoriya is so sad. I'm a bit selfish and I kind of want him to give up, but I want him to do it the right way.
I slip my phone back on my pocket once I hear the toilet flush. The sink turns on and then seconds later it turns off. I relax on the couch more and I scoop some more ice cream in my mouth.

  "It's getting late Todoroki," Midoriya swings around the corner "you should probably go back home before your dad finds out."
  "I have been gone for awhile." I set the bowl down

  I don't want to leave him alone. Who knows what will happen. Then again I guess it is better if he's alone for awhile.

..... Midoriya's POV .....
  I don't want Todoroki to go, but I'm sure he is done with me by now. I have been very sad for the past while. Maybe I just need to be alone and sort things out. I do want Todoroki to stay though.

  "I guess I will leave then," he sits up and walks to the door for his shoes "goodnight Midoriya."
  "Ah, wait." I mumble out
  "Yes?" He looks back and I run up and hug him
  "Thank you for taking care of me." I give him a squeeze and he pats my head
  "Anything for you." Then I let go and watch him leave
  "Goodbye." I mouthed as I closed the door

  Once the door shut I head back to my room. I close the door and lock it, then I slam myself in my bed. It's been awhile since I've done anything productive. Maybe if I go on a run and lift weights I will feel better. I'll do that in the morning though.

"Izuku I'm home!" My mom yells as the door shuts

I shove my head into the pillow more. After a second my mom knocks on the door. I get up and I unlock it.

"Are you alright?" She holds something behind her back and examines my face
"Yeah, I just had a fight with Kacchan." I frown
"Aww my little Izuku." She sets down a bag and brings me into a hug
"He said," I hold back tears and my voice cracks "he said he was done fighting for me."
"Izuku..." my mom hold me close and gently rubs my back while kissing my forehead
"What's in the bag?" She lets me go and picks it up
"It's something special," She looks at it for awhile
"I'll show you tomorrow." She pats my head and smiles
"Okay." I wipe my eyes and sigh
"How about you take a bath? Get some bad toxins out and relax, take as long as you want dear."
"... alright," I think about the warm water touching my skin "are you going to bed?"
"I am," She looks at her watch "it's late so make sure you watch your time at least, goodnight dear." She kisses my forehead again and walks off
"Goodnight." I head back to my room and I grab my clothes

I walk into the bathroom and I get undressed. I wait for the steamy water to fill the tub. I throw some rubber ducks in there and I get in myself. I set my phone next to me incase I get bored or Kacchan calls.
After what feels like forever I check my phone. Kacchan sent me something, he also called four times. Even Todoroki texted me. I want to read what Kacchan sent but I'm nervous. What if he says he was serious? Maybe he will say sorry. Should I call back or answer to his texts? Why does it have to be so difficult. My heart is saying call him but my mind is saying stop and wait, maybe I should listen to my mind for once. Just this once.
