Trigger Warning Ahead

Izuku's POV

"You and Bakugou have been getting close lately." Todoroki said when we reached the dorms. I gave him a confused look.

"Really? I haven't noticed," I said in confusion. Have Kacchan and I got closer? I really didn't notice. When I looked at Todoroki he looked upset.

"Yes. His attitude to others has gotten better but he's still mean. With you he's somewhat nice... sometimes protective..." He said as he turned away from me.

"What are you trying to insinuate?" I asked him, with a frown. There is something off about how he said all of that.

He took a deep breath and turned to face me. "Are you cheating on me with him?" He asked with a hint of anger in his voice.

I huffed in annoyance and disappointment. "How can you say that? He acts like that since we were literally in diapers, Todoroki." I said, trying not to yell at him.

"You treat him better than me, Midoriya! Plus how I found you early this morning! You are way too comfortable around him!" Todoroki yelled at me. He pushed me against the wall with his hands on my shoulders holding me in place. "You have a nickname for him and you call me - your boyfriend - by my last name!" His grip on my arms got tighter. "He bullied you and hurt you! But you still act like this!"

"One, he's nice out of habit to me! That's how he used to act when we were kids! And you know me, I am nice to people 'who don't deserve it'. Two, I fell asleep before we ended up like that! Actually I don't even remember falling asleep! That was just a stinkin accident! Three, the nickname came from me having a hard time pronouncing his name when I could barely speak! And I stuck with it! Four, the bullying didn't start till middle school...!" I took a small break to catch my breath. "What do you even know about Kacchan?! His parents are hard on him too! His childhood wasn't perfect either! I just watch out for him! And he does the same for me!" I yelled while also ranting. I was panting from how angry I am.

His face was in complete shock; he has never seen me yell at someone like that. After I took a minute to calm down I continued. "Even as he is now he's still my best friend. We have been there for each other, always. I'm sorry that you feel like I am cheating on you, but trust me I am not. You know I am not that type of person" His hands dropped his side as he took a step back to think. That's all I had to say and hopefully it helps.

After a minute of him thinking he grabbed the collar of my shirt then punched me once. I fell to the ground trying not to cry. "Stay away from him. It is non negotiable. If I ever catch YOU talking to him there will be hell to pay. This is your fault, Midoriya, you caused this to happen. It's all your fault." He said looking down on me. I held my face as I tried no to cry. I didn't think he was capable of hitting me.

"T-Todoroki," I stuttered out, "W-Why?" He blinked in shock at what just happened then he fell to his knees. Small tears formed in his eyes.

"I am sorry Midoriya... I didn't mean for that to... I lost control," Todoroki said. He got off the ground and wiped his tears. I don't know what to do. He switched from angry to hitting me to this. What the heck. Did he mean to or was it just an accident?

He picked me off the floor and I didn't object. I was placed in his bed and he laid next to me, hugging me. I hugged him till he fell asleep. My thoughts made it hard for me to sleep. He didn't mean to do it. He didn't mean to hit me, he just has a hard time controlling his emotions. This isn't abuse, it's just his way of protecting me... right?
