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

Chapter 36

"How did you sleep, Itō?" You looked up from your phone to see Todoroki leaning on the edge of his bed with an inquisitive look.

"Meh, it was fine, had to stay laying on one side though cause of my arm." You joked. You were relieved when you were all checked into Hosu general hospital, that the doctors informed you that the cut wasn't serious and Todoroki being able to suppress the wound helped considerably.

Your lighthearted joke seemed to have a negative effect on your crush however as he lightly scowled at your now bandaged arm and turned away with a huff.

'Guess he's still mad.' You pondered. You honestly didn't get what the big deal was though. The two of you were supposed to have each other's backs, that's exactly what you did.

'To be completely honest, even I wasn't expecting myself to just jump in there like that.' You recalled back to when your legs suddenly moved on their own at the sight of Todoroki being in danger.

You glanced around the plain hospital room and noticed Iida looking down at the palms of his hands. 'Thankfully Iida wasn't too injured either but that hero killer sure did leave some scars; mentally and physically.' You pitied.

Just as the rest of the victimised group started to socialise, the door opened with Gran Torino, Manual and Eraserhead stepping into the room.

'Is it weird to think that this looks like a super awkward family reunion?' You questioned to yourself.

As you watched Gran Torino and manual give a light scolding to their internees, you tensed at the sight of Aizawa making his way to you as well.

"Well I done goofed up, give it to me straight sir, I can take it." you squeezed your eyes shut fully anticipating the nagging that you were prepared for.

Instead, however, you sensed a slow movement making its way on top of your head and felt your hair being ruffled.

"I-uh?" You paused at the unexpected kindness that your homeroom teacher was showing. "You're not mad? Annoyed? Irritated?" You questioned painstakingly.

"I will be in a minute if you don't shut up." Aizawa said bluntly whilst pinching the bridge of his nose, seeming to get back to his old self which surprisingly put you at more ease.

"Trust me I have a lot of questions." He noted putting a great amount of emphasis on the 'lot'.

"But for now I'll wait, I'm just glad you're all safe." He confessed, a small smile making its way onto his face that he couldn't have removed sooner than you had noticed it.

"But before that, you've got a visitor." Your attention was caught by the words that came out of Gran Torino's mouth.

'A visitor?' You tilted your gaze upon the door whilst it opened revealing...a dog man?

"Welp I've seen weirder." You muttered.

"Hosu's chief of police, Kenji Tsuragamae." Gran Torino introduced. Iida and Todoroki stood up abruptly upon hearing this, even Midoriya tried to waddle off of his bed so you quickly followed in their actions.

"You must be the U.A hero students who brought down the hero killer, right?" He asked though you assumed it was rhetorical cause that was pretty obvious.

"Yes." Todoroki responded anyways clearly still not fully aware of social cues but you still loved him nevertheless.

"Regarding the hero killer we arrested..."

'And...this is where I zone out.' To be completely honest, you couldn't really give a crap about what he had to say. Sure you might be biased since he was a police officer and you hold a certain grudge over certain police officers who still haven't found your father, but you were sure that whatever he had to announce wasn't going to mean anything significant.
