The Chosen One

4

Pov: Deku
I woke up to bright lights in my face. I sat up, realizing I was in my dorm room. I had a queen sized bed and a comforter chair in the corner of the room, and yet, here Todoroki was, sleeping in a cheap plastic chair right by my bedside. That's when everything started rushing back. The attack, teachers dropping, All Might dying, using one billion percent.
"Oh my god..." I said in almost a whisper. "Oh my god!" I cried again, louder.
I started to sob. I couldnt stop. One tear after another.
"Midoriya? What's wrong?" Todoroki asked me, waking up.
"All Might..." I said, burying my face in my hands. "If only I could've prevented this from happening! I heard one of the villains say that they had come for me..." I whispered. "If only I could've gotten away from UA, taken the villains on all by myself. Then this wouldn't have happened!"
"There was no way you'd have known this was going to happen. It's not your fault. Its his. He overworked himself when he knew he had very little time left. Dont blame yourself. He wouldnt want that."
"You're right..." I said, wiping away my tears.
"Aizawa-sensei told me to tell him when you woke up so he could call the media. He wants you to tell everyone you are the Chosen One."
"WHAT?!" I screamed. I dont know why I was shocked, I knew once All Might died that I'd have to reveal myself. "I'm not ready! I cant do this! I cant do this!"
"Why?"
"I cant do this alone...I'm afraid I might get too nervous and run away...But All Might told me that only a significant other is allowed to be there when I speak to the media. And I think I need someone to be there. I just thought I'd have more time to find someone..."
"Midoriya." Todoroki said sternly, climbing onto my bed. He got on quickly but slowed his movements as he crept up towards my face on his hands and knees. I was blushing like crazy. "Why cant I be your significant other?" Todoroki asked, putting his hand on my cheek.
Before I could respond, Todoroki leaned in and kissed me. I dont know how to explain what I felt when our lips touched, but it was a good feeling. Something like how you feel when you find your missing piece, however that feels.
"T-Todoroki-kun! Wha-" Todoroki put his finger on my lips and shushed me.
"Dont be so formal. Call me something else."
"S-Shouto? Shouchan? Todochan?" I mumbled shakily.
"Shouchan. Call me Shouchan."
"O-ok..." There was a long an awkward pause. Neither of us knew what to say next. After what felt like ages, even though it was probably only a minute or so, I finally worked up the courage to speak again. "D-does this mean we are together now?"
"Yes, yes it does. Now I'm going to call Aizawa-sensei to tell him that you're up and that I'll be joining you in front of the media."

After Todoroki called Mr. Aizawa, we changed into our hero costumes and went to the common area to wait.
"Deku! How are you?" Iida said as we walked into the common area. Everyone looked at us.
"I'm feeling better."
"What's with the getup?" Momo asked.
"Oh. Aizawa-sensei is calling the media. I kind of have to tell the world I'm the Chosen One." I said, a smit of gloom overcoming the smile on my face."
"Oh yeah, I'm really sorry about All Might, Deku. You guys must have been really close." Uraraka said, noticing my gloom and hugging me.
"We were. He was like the father I never had. But I never got the chance to tell him that..."
Todoroki hugged me tight, Uraraka releasing me from her embrace and stepping back. His costume smelled like Chocolate covered strawberries and his hair smelled like vanilla.
"Oh yeah, why are you all dressed up, Todoroki? You're not the Chosen One." Toru added. Everyone agreed and asked what was up.
"I count as Midoriya's 'significant other' so I am attending the reveal as well."
"SIGNIFICANT OTHER?!" Everyone shouted in almost unison.
"So you dweebs are dating now, eh? Never thought a lameass like you would ever find love, Deku, I gotta be honest." Bakugou grouched, walking into the common area.
"Shut the fuck up, Bakugou. You're just jealous that we're together now and you still havent confessed to Kirishima." Tororoki snapped. I could tell everyone in the room was just as shocked as I was. Todoroki had just sworn, and outed Bakugou and Kirishima all in one statement.
"W-what?!" Kirishima cried, his face burning red.
"Oh, shut it, you half-n-half bastard! You know nothing!" Bakugou shouted at Todoroki, grabbing Kirishima by the arm and running away.
Suddenly Mr. Aizawa walked into the building.
"Midoriya, Todoroki, the media has arrived."
