Always

Todoroki POV

My head hurt, I had no idea where I was and I had a bad feeling about my situation. I was restrained again, hands locked in a box and a muzzle on my face. I couldn't talk and I couldn't use my quirk. It all seemed way too familiar.

At least this time I'm not in a dark cell I sat in a chair and waited to see what was going to happen. Next thing I knew someone removed my muzzle "Kat?" I paused "ah, Toga, it's been a while" I had hoped to forget about those couple months of my life but here I was yet again. "I know, it's been a really long time but this time the boss man says I can't hurt you" she sounded sad at that last part. I was just glad she wasn't going to stab me.

"Oh and we need some information from you" she smiled her crazy smile. "Where's Dabi, nobody has seen him since you escaped from us before and we know he had something to do with it" I had nothing to fear, she couldn't hurt me on orders of Shigaraki. It confused me but I believed her, she might have been completely insane but she wasnt a liar so she wouldn't hurt me. Not that I knew where he was anyway.

A couple other members joined us. "He said anything yet" Shigaraki asked. Toga shook her head "would be easier to get information out of him if we could hurt him" that confused me even more. If the order to leave me unharmed hadn't come from him then... "Todoroki, nice to see you're awake" Midoryia

I froze in panic, my mind raced with thoughts. Has he been following me? Was that not just me imagining things? Did he know Kat wouldn't be home? Is he the one who wants to know about Touya? How long has he been their leader? "Looks like someone's panicking" there was a crazed look in his eyes which gave the panic attack the little nudge it needed.

I struggled to breathe, I could feel myself warming up and cooling down at the same time completely screwing up my body temperature. This was bad, it had never got this bad before and the last thing I needed was to get ill. I tried to speak but my voice wouldn't cooperate. "It's okay, you don't need to talk, not yet anyway but I do have a question for you to think about" he paused. "Why did you choose him, what does he have that I don't?"

Was this seriously about my damn love life.

My airways still felt blocked and his question didn't help at all. This was how I was going to die. Lack of air from a panic attack. Midoryia wrapped his arms around me from behind "if you don't calm down, and quickly, I might have to let them hurt you" he whispered into my ear.

I tried to think happy thoughts. My dad was going to try to make it up to me and my family for what he had done. My mom and sister were happy in their new house. Natsuo was about to become a doctor. Touya was still somewhere out there and not with the villains. Kat wanted to marry me. I had the best fiance I could hope for. It was working the more I thought about my family and Kat the calmer I became until I was breathing regularly again. "Good boy" Deku whispered again "now tell me why don't you love me like I love you?"

"Because that's not how love works. I didn't exactly choose to fall for him it just happened. There's a lot thats happened in my past that you don't know about Midoryia, there's things that I haven't told anyone" I left out the part that Kat knew those certain things "Kat just happened to be in the right place at the right time"

He let go of the hug "oh, first name basis, he must like you then" he teased. "But he can never love you as much I as I do, I'll show you both just how much you mean to me" the crazy returned to his voice which scared me.

Hope you're all enjoying the story so far let me know what you think 😊
