Holy shit holy shit holy shit! I'm gonna be living with him!? I am not sure how I feel about this. Like I have no idea how I feel about this! I don't mind living with him. I mean he seems okay other than the weird mood swings. But I've never lived with anyone before! And this guy makes me lose control. I can't seem to stay calm around him and whenever he talks, I can't help but feel like that damn kid.
"You're thinking out loud again," Todoroki teases me. I realize I'm bent over, staring at the ground. "Oh, uh was I? Sorry about that," I say, standing up straight. "No it's fine, in fact, I love it," he says, making my blush. He laughs a little at my face, but then he turns serious. "May I ask who 'that damn kid' is?" he asks, concern in his voice. "Uh, well," I shrug. "He's me. I guess. When I was a kid, I was always like that. I would always think out loud and never realize it and the smallest things would get me flustered." "What happened?" he asks. "I mean why are you different now?" This time, it's my face that gets serious. "My mom got sick. I had to drop out of school to take care of her. Then she died and I was on my own. Dirt poor. I lost job after, job after job. Then I turned to stealing to get by. Then I finally got a job that was going well and then you fucking kidnapped me and I don't know what the hell's gonna happen to me!" I'm practically screaming by the end and Todoroki looks taken aback. "Look I'm sorry, I-" I start to say but Todoroki cuts me off with a bear hug. "Don't apologize," he says. "I'm the one who should be sorry. You've had a shitty life and just when things start looking up, I kidnap you and things start spiraling downward," he says. We pull away from the hug, but he still holds me in his arms. "I don't even know why I kidnapped you. Tou-Dabi! told me I should take someone. He didn't exactly tell me why he just said I should take someone. At that bar, he asked me who caught my eye. I told him that you did and he told me I should take you. I'm so sorry for what I've done and I'm even sorrier that I can't take you back." His arms go limp at his sides and now it's my turn to hug him. "It's okay," I say into his chest (because damn is he tall). "But can I ask, why can't you take me back?" I ask as we pull away from the hug. He hangs his head a little. "Because you know too much. If we were to let you go back, you could describe me to the police and get us in a lot of trouble. Kidnapping's one thing, but if they dig too deep, they'll find a lot more skeletons in the closet. I'm not saying that you would rat us out, I'm just saying we can't risk it. I'm sorry," he finishes. "It's okay, I get it. I've done illegal things too." I say. "Can we maybe start fresh?" he asks me. "Why?" I laugh. "I just feel like we didn't get off to a great start, what with the whole kidnapping thing, but I really do like you and I would like to be friends," he says. "Of course," I say. "Midoriya Izuku, pleased to meet you," I say sticking out my hand. "Todoroki Shoto," he says taking it. "Let's be friends."
Sorry these have been getting shorter, it's just I'm low on inspiration and I can't help but like where I leave things. Also I'm lazy af. Anyways byee and see ya next time.
