Selcouth || Shouto Todoroki x Oc

Chapter 22: Hide and Seek is technically a horror game and tODOROKI WAIT-

Ahaha here's another chapter! I'm not dead lmao sorry for the wait and late upload time... (the image above is from my ask blog for Todoroki, Momo, and Iida. It's called ask-the-rich-kids so if you tryna put in some asks 👀)

I leaned against the cool wall of the school, watching Momo pick out a few snacks from the vending machine to replenish her quirk. Iida stood beside her, scolding her for her recklessness.

"—And of all things why did you throw yourselves over the fence? You could've just thrown the sack!"

Momo paused from her perusing to turn on him, "Iida, my tiny baby arms can not commit such a feat, and also that would be horrible treatment of the hostage!"

They continued to bicker until Momo got her food and refused to speak to Iida. She sat on a bench and started to eat.

"So, How's your back?" I asked.

"Feels like you'd imagine, like I slammed onto the floor after failing to vault over a fence," She paused her eating, "Being chased has always been scary. Like in games of tag when I was younger I was always super close to crying."
After she said that Iida and I started laughing while she whined for us to stop. She was saying things like "It was in a dark forest!" and "I was playing with Iida and he's super fast!" We just kept laughing at her explanations.

"It seems you three are always laughing."

I calmed down enough to see who was talking and it was the office worker looking guy from before, I think his name was To...rodori? Something like that?

"Todoroki-San! What do you need?" Iida asked, straightening up from his laughing fit.

'Todoroki' nodded at me, "I need to speak to her privately"

I looked at Momo, who was looking quizzically at Todoroki, "Why do need to talk to her privately?"

"I just do."

"That doesn't make sen-" Momo started, but paused when I looked at her.

I turned to Todoroki, "I'll go, lead the way."

He nodded and turned down a hallway. I followed silently. Finally it seemed we got somewhere that fit his interest as he stopped. I walked over to the opposite wall as he began.

"I have something important to ask."

"You don't waste time do you," I muttered.

"Well, now that I think about it more it's not necessarily a question. It's more so a statement I need you to confirm."

'Isn't that what a question is?'

"Are you related to Tokoyami in anyway?"

I stood there for a moment before asking, "Who the hell is Tokoyami?"

His eyebrows furrowed. "I would've thought you knew him since your quirks are so alike.."

"Listen buddy, just because two random people's quirks are alike doesn't mean they are related. That is gonna get you in trouble one day," I said pushing off the wall and taking a few steps forward.

His form stiffened slightly, as if surprised at my statement .
"Well, often times that can be assumed since quirks are hereditary. So it'd make sense to assume some kind of relation,but that's beside the point. I want to know about your quirk, to be more exact, what exactly is in your jacket."

I laughed, "Oh? Is that why you were staring at my ass? Or am I just making excuses for you," after seeing his unamused glare I continued, "Well if you must know it's a creature created by my quirk, if your gonna ask how she formed I won't be able to answer that."

"Why? Is it private?" He asked, standing straighter as if to intimidate me.

"Nah, It's because I just met you and you're here demanding answers like I owe you or something. Listen buddy, if ya want answers— especially personal ones— you gotta be able to make an equal trade."
Todoroki pondered for a moment before beginning what I can only describe as intense over-sharing to strangers. He told me about how he got his scar and how he feels about his family until it was like he was almost venting about how having his dad here was ruining his safe space. He hated him. With his entire being. He hated his father for ruining his family and their bonds and he'd never forgive him.
"—And because he wants me to become number one hero, I'll do it ... but without the use of his accursed quirk"

We stood there for a moment before he composed himself and set his eyes—ever intense— on me.
"So? Tell me about your quirk."

I cleared my throat, still in slight shock of all the news I just heard, "Well, just like you, I have two quirks. With one I can control nature and the other I can control the shadows. I'm not telling you my entire backstory because I don't have the time, but the creature you saw was Cerberus. She is my companion in debauchery."

Todoroki stood there, looking at me expectantly.

"What?"

He sighed and pushed himself off the wall, "Since I told you everything it's only fair I learn a bit more about your quirk—"

"I didn't ask though—"

"—for example how's it powered?" He took a step towards me.

"How's it powered?"

He continued forward, "Yeah, Iida makes quirk is powered by orange juice, Yaoyorozu's is powered by her own body fat, what about you?"

I squinted my eyes at him, "You really wanna know?"

Todoroki stopped directly in front of me, almost like he was trying to intimidate me with his height, "Yes, that's what I've been asking."

I smiled up at him before grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him down to my level. The iced over side of his costume crunched at the sudden movement. I got on the tip of my toes to get close to his neck and ear.

"It's powered....by Blood, Todoroki, and speaking of, I'm awfully drained."

Feeling him freeze in my grip I let go of him and pushed him away, watching him trip over his own legs and catch himself. He looked up at me with a mix of slight fear and curiosity, a bad mixture mind you. I closed my eyes, I expect he's gonna go on a spiel about how I'm evil or just straight up leave.

".....how much..."

I opened my eyes to see him, touching his neck and once again approaching me.

"How much blood do you need?"

.....huh?!

He was still walking towards me waiting for an answer but what did he want?! It's not like he's gonna offer himself right?....Right?!

"I wanna know, so I can....help you out."

HE OFFERED HIMSELF! SHITSHITSHIT—

Todoroki was directly in front of me now, bent over slightly which gave me a good view of his offer.

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKF—

"It's a hero's job to make sure the people around them are okay, and since you're a guest-" He looked at me with his dual-colored eyes, "-it would only be polite to pay special attention to you, right?"
