Chapter 22 - Killer love

I'm not asking for much
just your love and not another
'cause your embrace keeps me warmer.
Could I tell you this time,
how I wish you were mine....

Chapter 22 - 'Killer love'

Day 275

TODOROKI'S POV

I've reached the limit of tolerance. I couldn't keep going on like that, either we fixed it or we fought till something bad spilled out and hurt the other irremediably.

"Todoroki, stop!" - Izuku whispered-yelled as I dragged him by the wrist. He wasn't going to ignore me any longer. If I had to drag him to my room to force him to acknowledge me, I would. I would have done anything for him to acknowledge me.

"Stop, you're hurting me!" - he yelled struggling to free himself.

"Shut up! You know nothing about being hurt!" - I mumbled shutting the door closed behind us.

"Your quirk! You're freezing my arm Todoroki!" - he whined grabbing my wrist with his other hand. I glanced down at my hand and immediately let go of him as I saw ice crawling on his forearm.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." - I said as I tried to reach his arm with my left hand to help but he took a step back holding his arm close to his chest.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. I lost control of it for a second...I can help..." - I whispered stretching my left hand towards him again. He stepped back muttering a low 'no' as he avoided looking at me. He didn't even seem to see me at all.

"Izuku?" - I tried to get his attention lightly placing my hand over his forearm.

"Don't touch me! Why did you drag me here? I told you I've things to do. What do you want?" -  he asked annoyed stepping back and trying to warm his arm.

"Yeah, I can imagine what..." - I muttered under my breath. While passing the common room I heard Uraraka bragging about how she would spend the evening in Izuku's room. It made me want to vomit.

"What's so important that you had to drag me here? What do you want Todoroki?"

"I want you to stop ignoring me" - I almost screamed making him slightly flinch.

"I'm not, I just don't have anything to say..." - Izuku said just above a whisper taking another step back.

"That's bullshit! That's not how it's supposed to work! You said that I couldn't hang out with you and then stop talking to you, but now you're the one acting like that! You said you'd give me good memory Izuku but what I'm supposed to do with those now if you avoid me? You said I was your best friend! Yet you don't even acknowledge me anymore. You said it was your duty to make sure I was ok! I'm not okay Izuku! It's getting worse, I don't know what to do anymore!"

He kept silent shuffling on his feet a bit, not bothering to look at me.

"Look at me for fuck sake! I'm here! I'm in front of you! Look at me! I exist!"

"I know you do, I..." - he started but didn't finish the phrase.

"Then look at me, please! I'm begging you..." - I was bagging for real. I couldn't take it anymore, I needed things to be fixed or to be completely broken. I couldn't stand the silence anymore. He looked at me and sighed.

"You know that I don't hate you Shōto. I just don't know ho...I don't know what to do now, it's complicated..."

"What's so complicated? All my life I've been alone. I've never liked anyone for my entire life; is it so wrong for me to like someone for once? Is it so wrong if it's a boy? Am I so disgusting? You knew, you said it was fine, what the hell changed?"
