You're Golden (Todoroki x OC)

[17. He Was So Worried]

Nova's POV

"Hey, Fuyumi?" She looked at me from the picture books, "What's up?" She asked "I know it's none of my business but, your mom, why did Endeavor burn her out of the picture by the door?" I asked and she frowned "I'm guessing Shoto hasn't told you much about his scar or his family?" "I didn't want to ask, I'm going to wait for him to tell me, I don't want to push him into something he doesn't feel comfortable saying yet to me." She smiled "I'm glad he found someone that cares a lot for him and is willing to wait." I nodded, she flipped through the picture book and showed me a picture of Shoto and his mother, "She's gorgeous, I know where Shoto gets his looks from now."

We finished looking at pictures and Natsuo walked in the room "Father isn't going to be here for dinner, as usual." Fuyumi sighed and nodded "I'll go check on the food, and you." She looked at me "I'm going to thank you over and over. Thank you for caring about our baby brother so much." I nodded "Nothing will change it."

I started a conversation with Natsuo and we talked about the Sports Festival but then he must've noticed my left hand was gold, "Your hand." He said, I froze "What happened?"

"Nothing." I'm still not used to the fact that I only have one real arm, and I lost my other because I was weak, I don't like being weak.

"That sounds like a lie, but I won't push."

"Shoto!" Fuyumi said and she shook her head "What did I tell you about drying your hair before walking out of the bathroom." I looked up at him and smiled "We've never talked about that." She glared at him and I got the feeling because I was their guest "Come here."

I stood up and grabbed the towel that was around his neck and started running it through his hair, he looked flustered and kept his eyes away from mine, I dried his hair to the point where it wouldn't drip.

"Now, since you take such long showers, let's eat." I put the towel on his head as he nodded.

We all sat down to eat and I started talking about the Sports Festival and Fuyumi asked why I wasn't apart of it.

"There's no reason, I just-" I didn't know what to say but Shoto took over "Nezu told her that she shouldn't be apart of it just incase her mother was there. You would have most definitely would've won." I smiled "My mother was apart of the U.S.J attack, she's a villain and I hadn't seen her in a long time, and it was for the best, even though I won't go through an agency most likely unless someone gave me a chance."

"What's your quirk?" Natsuo asked "Oh, It's kind of like our classmate Momo's but I can copy a certain types of quirks like Shoto's for instance, but gold."

We all finished dinner and I looked at the time, 12am? Was I really here that long?.

"I didn't even realize how late it was." I chuckled "Oh it's extremely late." Fuyumi said, looking back at me from the clock "You know, you could just sleep in the guest bedroom, you and Shoto shouldn't be out in about at this time of night." Natsuo kicked her leg from under the table which lead to her hitting the back of his head "DO NOT HIT ME NATSUO!"

They broke out into an argument and I looked at Shoto "Do they usually act like this?" I asked "Sometimes yes, but not all the time." "But if you wanted you could just use the guest bedroom and you could use some of Fuyumi's clothes." I looked at him, super confused, I know my dad would be fine as long as we didn't do anything inappropriate, which we won't.

I guess I could, I really don't want to walk all the way to my house nor do I want to use a quirk to get there either.

"Fine, but I'm not wearing your sisters clothes." "Then who's clothes are you going to wear?" He asked and I looked at him like he was an idiot till he realized what I was getting at.

"Oohh, yeah I guess you could." His face was definitely red but hid it by not looking at me.

"Are you two done arguing yet?" Shoto asked his siblings, they both glared at him "Fuyumi, want any help with the dishes?" I asked "You don't have to." "No, I want to, now let's go before you kill your brother." I grabbed everyone's plates and walked into the kitchen with Fuyumi.

"Did Shoto ever tell you how worried he was after the attack?" She asked as we scrubbed the plates "No, he didn't." To be fair I was to focused on why I survived, the hospital is a long ways away from the U.S.J. and a bit closer to the school, my grandmother definitely couldn't stop my arm from bleeding or decaying.

"He was so worried that he was all you thought about, so deep in thought that he would be distracted, father was furious about it but Shoto didn't care enough because all he cared about was you being okay, I mean you were out for days because you lost so much blood." I stopped what I was doing, I felt tears running down my face and I gripped the countertop "I feel like such an ass." I mumbled but enough for her to hear me "I was mean to him because he acted cold towards me, I should've just ignored it." She put her hand on my shoulder "I get that from my mom." Fuyumi shook her head and dried my cheeks by wiping the tears away "You're nothing like her, you have a guard up, just like my baby brother, you broke his down but it's time for you to let him break yours." She pulled me into a hug the surprised me.

She pointed down the hall to where the room I was staying in was at and I thanked her.

Talk about a Japanese style house.

I saw an oversized shirt that was only oversized because I was much shorter than Shoto.

If you need anything, I'm three doors over on the right, goodnight. - Shoto

Did he really have to put his name?

I'm about to spam a lot of chapters and I don't remember how well written they are so oh well.
