Words Unsaid - Tododeku

-Chapter Ten-

{Midoriya}

Midoriya sighed, watching the cars pass by the front of the school. The time was going by incredibly slow, each passing second seeming to take a minute, each minute seeming to take an hour. It was the last period of the day, so everyone was tuckered out.

He let out a low huff, tearing his gaze from the window to the front of the room, where Present Mic stood, his usual energetic energy bursting out of his body.

Most of the students were dozing off or talking with the person beside them. Midoriya looked around the room, seeking anyone to talk to. Unfortunately, he was surrounded by Mineta, Sero, and Bakugou.

Bakugou seemed to hate his guts, Sero was talking to Kirishima, Jirou, and Kaminari, and Mineta... Well, that didn't really need any explanation.

His gaze landed on Todoroki, who had his head rested on his arms neatly folded in front of him. The dual-haired boy stared right back at him, his heterochromatic eyes locking onto Midoriya's green eyes.

Immediately Midoriya noticed Todoroki tapping against the desk, and though he couldn't hear it, he could see it. 

.... . -.-- .-.-.-

(Hey.)

Midoriya adjusted himself so that he could still see Todoroki but make it seem less conspicuous to anyone else watching. He began to tap his response.

(Bored, I just wanna watch the movie tonight.)

(Same. It was fun yesterday.)

Midoriya smiled to himself, feeling glad that the other boy had enjoyed it. They were too tired to talk after the movie, so he hadn't heard Todoroki's thoughts on it.

.. .----. -- / .... .- .--. .--. -.-- / -.-- --- ..- / .... .- -.. / ..-. ..- -. -.-.--

(I'm glad you had fun!)

 Midoriya could've sworn he saw Todoroki smile out of the corner of his eye, but when he looked again, the dual-haired boy's usual aloof expression remained.

 Maybe he was going crazy, but it was too pretty to miss... Midoriya caught track of his thoughts and questioned them. Since when did he think Todoroki was pretty?

I mean, the boy was gorgeous, anyone could see that, but he never really thought of the other boys like that. Well, there were a few times, but that was just admiration!

 He wasn't blind, he could see an attractive guy and know it, like Bakugou for example. That didn't mean he liked him, or that he was even gay!

 But maybe... He'd put off his sexuality for years, never really seeing a point to it. His main focus was becoming the symbol of peace, not relationships. 

But maybe he should think about it. A relationship always seemed nice to him. Just the thought of having someone to rely on no matter what happened, having someone to care for you and hold you while you cry.

He'd always wanted that, but he never thought it to be attainable. Just a simple dream. Growing up, he'd been told that nobody would ever like someone like him, and as he reached high school, it set in as truth.

As he got more friends, he abandoned his past self. The version that he despised more than anything. He had to thank everyone that'd helped him to this point.

He turned his attention back to Todoroki, who had been waiting patiently for Midoriya to focus.

(You okay? You spaced out or something.)

(Yup, sorry about that!)

(No worries. Just making sure you're okay.)

The bell suddenly rang, ending their conversation. Everyone began to pack up their stuff, already discussing their plans for the night. Excited for the movie tonight, Midoriya, Todoroki, Uraraka, and Tsuyu all rushed to the dorms.

{Midoriya}

The five students all sat around the laptop once more, watching intently as the movie began to play. They were all in the same spots as the day before, except this time Midoriya sat in between Todoroki's legs, leaning against the other boy's chest comfortably.

Earlier that day, Midoriya had confronted his thoughts and decided that he was gay and had, in fact, fallen for Todoroki. It took a lot of thought and silently arguing with himself to move to this position.

Luckily, it seemed that Todoroki didn't mind that much. In fact, the taller boy had wrapped his arms around Midoriya. His embrace wasn't too strong, so if he wanted to move at any time it was possible.

They continued to watch the movie with the silence occasionally broken by chatter, but otherwise undisturbed. As the night wore on, Midoriya began to feel more and more tired, lulled to sleep by Todoroki's steady breathing.

After the movie was over, Todoroki had argued not to wake Midoriya and had instead volunteered to carry him to his room. It was good he was passed out, otherwise, he'd've died of embarrassment.
