Lonely Hoe | midoriya izuku

chapter eighteen; a good person

    You learned a lot yesterday, more than what you thought you would upon having a new roomie with you.

    However what still shook you to the very core of your being, was 'The Fields,' it was utterly a terrifying thought to even imagine something like that actually being in your world....

     "Hey babe can you help me out with the guest room?" You asked Izuku, once snapping out of your thoughts.

   You had a guest room that could be used for Shōtō, all you had to do was get your extra storage out of there, which was just boxes of BL novels, old photographs, old clothes, and other useless stuff that you'd just have to shove into your closet.

    "Babe...?" Shōtō repeated, giving you a questionable look and at little Izuku who was at your side, both of you holding boxes to bring to your shared bedroom.

   "Ya?" You answered, not really noticing the slightly disgusted look he was giving you.

   After putting the boxes up, you gave Izuku a pat on the head, as a reward for helping you.

   Izuku just accepted the head pats, used to your constant neediness of having to give him affection.

   "Are you...a pedophile?"

   You froze.

    "Haha, what?" You said, surely you were mistaken, Shōtō couldn't have possibly just asked you that—

   "Are you a pedophile? You keep calling Izuku those...names, and I know for a fact you're older than us by a couple of years..." Shōtō pressed, your clothes snug on his body as he arched a brow at you.

    An invisible sword went through your chest at his words, that's right, the age gap, it couldn't be that big can it...?

   How big was it anyways..you subtracted in your head, then inwardly gasped.

   3 years...goddamn were you a pedophile!?

    Izuku just sweat dropped at your defeated form, as you sulked in a corner.

   "I-I'm a pedophile..." You whimpered pathetically.

   "[M/n]! Todoroki didn't mean to offend you..!" Izuku tried to calm you down, but did a terrible job at it.

    After having a sulk sesh, Izuku started on supper, and Shōtō was greatly confused at this—the two didn't need to eat, only you, so why were you so persistent on having them both eat? They're here to serve, and what's with your happy go lucky attitude?

   You seemed like a complete fool...

   "Shōtō, c'mon supper is ready, we're having Katsudon tonight," You called out from the kitchen, Shōtō entered and noticed the three bowls on the small table in the kitchen.

    The three of you say at the table, enjoying the food, though Shōtō was just picking at his. Not really sure to make of all of this.

    "Is there anything you'd like me to do...?" Asked the Heteroachroma boy, different colored eyes meeting yours.

    "What do you mean?"

    "Do you need me to help you with anything...like eat...shower..." As Shōtō explained this, he couldn't help but feel awkward.

   All the owners he had previously used him for lots of reasons, as a slave, as a fake lover, for sex, and etc.

    It was natural, that's all humans cared about...their own desires.. —

    "What?" Your face flushed a deep red just thinking of the handsome teen helping you shower, but quickly shook your head & cleared your throat, "I don't want anything from you, just be here for me, you know? Like friends," You explained.

     Shōtō felt something weird inside him shift, just friends? That's all you wanted? No handjobs, kissing, or even hugging...?

    No...this had to be fake, you couldn't be serious.

   "Are you sure...?" The teen asked again.

   Izuku looked at the two of you, feeling awkward, yet understood where Shōtō was coming from. After all the two shared a similar past.

   "I'm positive haha,"

   And that concludes dinner.

    It was later that night, when Izuku and Shōtō finally had gotten to know each other. Granted, Izuku had to sneak his charger and himself away from you and your shared bedroom to go charge & chat with Shōtō in the living room.

    "H-Hi!" Izuku greeted the male, making him turn away from the TV.

    "Hello, Midoriya," Greeted the Heteroachroma boy.

   "I was just...wondering if you could tell me how things have been at the factory.." The greenette asked.

   "The factory? Oh..you mean with Yagi~San?"

   Izuku flushes a deep red.

   "Y-Yesh,"

   "He's been alright, stuck in the shop like usual," Shōtō replied.

   "I see..." Izuku nodded, and silence envelopes them.

    "So...[M/n].. he doesn't..you know right?" Shōtō asked, feeling uncomfortable to mention the S word.

   "No-No-No! HES not like that at all!" Izuku immediately replied, shaking his head and hands, looking as if Shōtō had said the unspeakable.

    "So he's really like that..? Like a...—"

   "Airhead?" Izuku finished, covering a snicker.

   "Yeah.." Shōtō smiled.

   "He's always like that, I was surprised too, at first, and I couldn't at all go near him when I first came here...but after a few weeks he showed me...kindness, affection, and honesty...he's really a good person, granted he can be weird with his pet names and out bursts of emotions...but...he's really a...someone I treasure most." The smaller hero said, a smile overcoming his face.

   All Shōtō did was hum to that, so you really were just a weirdo with a goofy smile.

   Shōtō felt an odd warmth fill the bottom of his stomach as he remembered your words from earlier.

    "Let's be friends!"

Maybe..Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
