Cruel Intentions (Todoroki x Reader)

Chapter 34 - Go to Sleep

Ochaco lied down on the ground, her chest heaving as she struggled to catch her breath after todays intense training. Next to her was Mina whose hands were red from producing so much acid. The entirety of class 1-A lied down in the open field with tired looks on their faces. Training had been hard for everyone. There wasn't a single student that hadn't been pushed to their limits. Ochaco pushed herself up, leaning back on her elbows as she scanned the crowd. 

"Hey, where's (Name)?" she asked. 

"Probably still training with Sero and Aizawa by the looks of it," Jiro theorized. 

"Whaaat? Shouldn't they be done by now?" Mina questioned puzzled. She turned to face Shoto who sat at a table, cold washcloth on his forehead. "Hey Todoroki, have you seen (Name)?"

He shook his head. "No, I haven't. I'm sure Aizawa will bring her and Sero back soon."

"Hey guys, I think I see them over there," Tsu pointed. 

Todoroki glanced over to see Aizawa swinging out of the forest with Sero close behind. He hadn't seen you at first and his eyebrows furrowed when he realized that you were being carried by Aizawa back to camp.

"Oh no!" Ochaco gasped. "I hope she's okay...."

Todoroki quickly got on his feet, but was instructed to stay back by Mandalay.

"Let's give her some room," she said.

Aizawa set you down on the ground, throwing your arm over his shoulder as he helped you walk back to the camp. Sero jogged ahead to see the rest of his classmates. 

"Sorry about all of this professor," you lamented. "Thank you for carrying me! I really appreciate it."

"It's no problem, (Name), but you really do need to be more careful," Aizawa chastised you.

"I know...."

Things had been going well, great actually. Using your blood as a rope proved to be much more efficient than you thought it would be. You managed to cross the forest in no time. Sero had beaten you of course but he didn't even have time to relish in his victory after Aizawa barked at him to start again. You were proud of yourself for using your power in a successful way. You didn't even suffer from that much blood loss. 

Everything was going fine when you were heading back until you swung forward a little too hard and missed your footing. You had clutched onto your rope tightly, wincing as an unnerving pain shot up through your leg. Aizawa had deduced that you had sprained your ankle. Therefore he offered to carry you on his back to the campsite. 

"Hey, Sero, what happened?" Tsu asked. "Is (Name) okay?"

"(Name)? Oh yeah, she's fine don't worry!" he reassured. "She just-"

But Sero didn't get to finish explaining as your boyfriend rushed over to you as soon as you were near. You felt so embarrassed to be seen this way. Piggybacking on Aizawa didn't give you a good look. If anything it made you feel weak. How could you have been so careless?

Nonetheless, you did your best to smile for Todoroki who looked at you concerned. 

"Are you alright?" he asked. "What happened?"

"Relax Todoroki. She just sprained her ankle," Aizawa explained.

"Yeah unfortunately," you smiled awkwardly. 

Todoroki breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay...I'll let you go to the nurse then. But before you go, here have this."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of candy.
