"You give out pieces of yourself to people but never let them see the whole picture. I've seen it. I know who you are, and it's heartbreaking."
When Todoroki suddenly loses his Quirk, he's the mass target of villains and criminals, so Inasa is the o...
The pencil quivered in his palm, trying to write the words he wanted to express about what he and Inasa should do for the remainder of the day, but his hands wouldn't stop shaking. Eventually, Inasa had to stop him, taking the pencil and laying it on the coffee table.
"How about we take it easy, okay? Stick with cuddles and naps," Inasa suggested, drawing Todoroki into his chest as he pulled a blanket over themselves. "After today, I think some sleep will do you good. We can change your bandages and visit your siblings later. Is that okay, Shoto?"
Todoroki was too focused on his hands to answer Inasa's question, trying to keep them still with frustration etched in his brows. His hands were taken into Inasa's, snapping him out of focus as he gazed at Inasa questioningly.
"Calm down, okay? I know you're nervous about your siblings, but they'll be okay. After all, they're part of your family, so I'm sure they're strong enough to survive a little smoke. Now, take a nap. I'll wake you when we can visit them." Inasa stroked Todoroki's hair gently, kissing him on the forehead before laying his head over Todoroki's.
Todoroki didn't sleep, however. He wasn't worried about his siblings or the vengeance of Rappa and Tengai, but the sudden dread and discomfort crept up on him, removing any chance to sleep as he heard Inasa's snores rumble above his head.
This will be a long Summer...

Todoroki shot up to the sound of Inasa's phone alarm, trying to calm his speeding heartbeat as he slid out of bed and quickly changed into suitable clothes for his visit to the hospital.
Inasa fumbled for his phone, yawning with tears in his eyes as he shut the alarm off and rolled onto his stomach, facing Todoroki with a sluggish smile and half-lidded eyes, "Morning, Shoto... You're up and ready. Are you excited to see your siblings?"
Todoroki nodded swiftly, pulling Inasa out of bed before throwing a set of clothes at him, giving Inasa a kiss and heading out the door to slip on his shoes at the front.
Inasa smiled and quickly slipped on a dress shirt and leggings, following Todoroki at the now unlocked door and slipping on his shoes, "Endeavor should be here any minute, so while we wait, do you want to cuddle for a bit?"
Todoroki thought for a moment, nodding before the two sat on the living room couch, Todoroki on Inasa's lap as his hair was combed and back was rubbed.
"I never thought you'd be mine when we first met, haha!" Inasa laughed, his thumb caressing Todoroki's cheek in small circles. "I'm still upset with myself for assuming you were like your father; I understand living with a Pro Hero can't always be great, but staying with you long enough to see your soft side was so worth it. I can't be any happier!" He embraced Todoroki tightly, kissing him on the cheek as the latter tried to pry out of his grip, failing and earning another kiss to the lips. "Anyway, I want to try something new since we've been at Stage One for a while. So...can I French kiss you?"
