It'll only get better//Todoroki x oc/reader

Chapter 29

Waking up in a different location shouldn't surprise you given how many times it's happened in only a couple of weeks. But yet again you are startled by the plain, white walls that you glance upon as you awake from your peaceful sleep.

'Um, where are the nightmares at?' You glance around the room once more as if that would give you the answers that you were looking for. 'Maybe finally opening up to someone about my crappy life has somehow...given me the freedom to see what I want in my mind. Maybe?' You wonder.

You save your crazy theory for later and instead focus on the little grey fluffball that lays adorably at the foot of the bed. As soon as you shift a bit to sit up, the green-eyed cat suddenly raises their head like a guard dog and starts to stride over to you as if you didn't just disturb them from their slumber.

"Meow." The beautiful creature starts to nuzzle your hand as it's rested on the bed in your lap. You pout your lips as your heart clenches for how precious your supposed baby sitter is being. You affectionately scratch the back of their ears to appease the attention that they want from you.

A growl suddenly emerges from your stomach which reminds you that you skipped dinner last night and half of your diet was water yesterday. "Let's go get something to eat huh?" You whisper to the feline as you start to get up with them in your arms.

Upon further inspection, you notice the amount of fluff and dust that lays on their grey fur. "See, this is what happens when you wait for me at the side of a bed that probably hasn't been cleaned in months." You tease the cat whilst booping his nose with your finger.

'It's ok, I'll give you a nice warm bath later, to be honest, I could use one too.' You realise upon remembering the many tiring battles that you partook in yesterday.

When you reached the living room, you glanced at the circular clock placed in the centre of a wall. '8.45 am' you thought in your head as you read the analogue clock. 'Shouldn't I be getting ready for school. Oh, wait a minute.' You tried to rack your brain for an important memory that you didn't pick up on yesterday.

That's when You recall what you heard Aizawa say yesterday in the car. Due to the stressful event, you weren't really paying attention to most of the things he said but thinking back to it now, you do recall something that had slipped your mind earlier.

"There will be no school for the next three days to be able to let everyone rest from the sports festival." Aizawa has said to the two of you yesterday. 'Ah that's it!' If you weren't holding the cat, you would've fist-bumped the sky in celebration but you can't so you settled for the next best thing.

"Yeah!" You whispered excitedly as you raised one of the feline's little paws and fist-bumped the sky. "Come on, let's go have breakfast." You said sweetly as you made your way to the kitchen. Thankfully, the huge bag of cat food (that you're surprised you didn't see earlier) was sitting right next to the bowl so that saved you the trouble of trying to find it.

Now trying to make breakfast for yourself was a whole other story. After giving the cat said cat food and refilling its bowl of water, you made your way over to the fridge to find some milk. Whilst you did find a small carton of milk, you were appalled by how little food Aizawa had for himself. The only large quantity of food were these juice pouches that littered the sides where the eggs should be.

You hesitantly took the milk carton and sighed at your sensei's lack of healthy eating. Speaking of Aizawa-sensei, you heard a stiff groan coming from his room signifying that he had just woken up. 'Crap, I've been making so much noise I must've woken him up.' You panicked and tried to think of any excuses to save your skin.
