"Midoriya, are you All Might's secret love child or something?" Todoroki's cold voice was all but joking.
Your body began to shake. You were trying to stifle your laughter.
Bakugou pinched your side to keep you still, and it worked. Your eyes began to tear up from the pain instead.
"Well, are you?" Todoroki urged a reply.
"That's not it!" Midoriya rejected the idea immediately, then he continued to ramble nonsense. "E-Even if I was, I could be saying the same thing and you wouldn't believe me."
"Then there must be a connection between the two of you that you can't talk about, right?" Todoroki hit the nail on the head. "My old man is Endeavor. As you know, he's been stuck in the number two hero spot for years. If you have something from the number one hero, then I have even more reason to beat you." Todoroki sounded pained.
You looked up to see Bakugou's expression.
Midoriya had tried to tell Bakugou that his quirk was inherited, so you had to wonder if he was connecting the dots with Todoroki's questions?
You wanted to stop them from talking so that Midoriya's secret would stay a secret, but Bakugou tightened his hold on you as he thought deeply.
Todoroki continued to tell of his dad's hatred for All Might.
"Why are you telling me this?" Midoriya interrupted.
"You've heard of quirk marriages, right?" Todoroki's voice sounded cold.
The topic of quirk marriages made you numb.
You began to shake again. This time it wasn't because you were laughing, but because you had experienced trauma with it in the past.
Quirk Marriages?
You sympathized with Todoroki. You were also born a tool.
Bakugou's eyebrows raised in confusion.
'Is she laughing again?' The male glanced down at you only to see a terrified expression. 'W-What the hell?' He didn't know what to do.
The blonde slightly loosened his grip and began stroking your head with one hand.
'What's her problem?' His sweat dropped.
"He's trying to raise me to be a hero that will surpass All Might." Todoroki's words snapped you out of it.
This was where the difference in your stories lay.
You were supposed to be raised as a villain.
"I won't become the tool of scum like that." You could hear the strain in his voice. At this point you stopped shaking. "'Your left side is unsightly', my mother said while pouring boiling water on me."
Your eyes widened and you could feel Bakugou tense up at this revelation.
"I'll reject him completely by winning first place without using my left side." Todoroki's voice had turned completely cold.
Bakugou was left speechless.
You heard someone walking further into the tunnel. You had to do something quick before they caught the two of you.
"Ahhhh." You feigned a moan and began panting. "No~"
The tunnel went silent.
"Mmmmn." You continued with a beet-red face.
"Let's go this way, Todoroki-kun!" You could visualize the blush on Midoriya's face.
"Y-Yeah." The other boy nodded and the two of them exited the tunnel.
