todoroki shouto

You had been happy in your relationship with Shouto. Happiness and longevity seemed to be something coined for the two of you. But you knew that you were the first real relationship he had.

Recently, Shouto was becoming better acquainted with his family. Often spending his free days with his family instead of spending it with you. Which wasn't an issue in your opinion, but it was three months since this started... and you only ever saw Shouto at night when he would come to bed past midnight. You were becoming upset by this, and whenever you voiced your emotions he was quick to ignore you.

The reality of your relationship was that you were not happy at this moment. You were also sure you did not wish to break up with him... but you wanted effort. Today was your birthday, and you hadn't received a single acknowledgment from him about it. Today was your day off and he didn't so much as kiss you goodbye today when he left for work as you woke up.

Today, you sat at the kitchen table at nine at night, waiting for him to come home. Your fingers play with a gift you bought for the two of you as a way to get him to go somewhere with you.

Some part of you wishes that he isn't here because he has some elaborate plan. That these past few months, he's been making you insecure for this very night. That Shouto's waiting for you to cave first so he can expose his birthday celebration plans. But you know better to assume that, Shouto has never been spontaneous like that.

So today, instead of celebrating with friends, you waited for Shouto to come back home.

One hour passed.

Two hours more.

It's no longer your birthday when the front door opens and closes. Your weary eyes staring at Shouto who walks in, slippers on his feet, exhaustion on his face.

Your eyes lock with his, and you break the gaze to continue down his body. There's no card in sight.

"Why are you coming home so late?" You ask placing your chin onto your hand. Your eyes boring into your boyfriend's ambivalent aura.

"Long day at work." Was his response and it irked you.

"Midoriya-san posted a video of you and your classmates at a bar. Why are you lying?"

"We only went in celebration of—"

"Bakugou's early birthday celebration, yeah. I know." You snark back, your hand dropping on the table and a frown on both your faces.

"I'm not in the mood to have a lecture right now. Especially since you know everything there is to know." Shouto voice drips with sarcasm as he tries walking away.

"Only because if I don't you won't ever talk to me!" You exasperate standing up. The sounds of the chair scraping against the floor echoes through the apartment.

Shouto stares at you, his heterochromia eyes feeling empty, lifeless.

"You don't talk to me anymore." You repeat, your bottom lip quivering. You try not letting your feelings overwhelm you. Desperate not to give him a reason to walk away. "What am I supposed to do?"

"Keeping your business to yourself?" Shouto steely response. His upper lip presses into his bottom one. "Why do you need to know everything?"

You blink many times, your mouth dropping with failed sentences.

"You're my boyfriend," You're slow to respond. "I'm curious and concerned because you're my boyfriend."

"If you're going to be telling me things I already know, I don't see the point of me listening to you."
