The Last Love- /recontinued!/

Chapter 8

*Todo P.O.V.*

I enter the hospital, walked to the front desk and wait for the man to notice me.

"Hello, are you a patient or a visitor?" The man says when he sees me.

"I am here to see Midoriya." I respond, avoiding eye contact.

"Hmm... Midoriya, Midoriya.." He says, looking at the patient list. "Ah, Midoriya, Izuku. He is in room 224, floor 3 in the right wing."

"Thank you." I say, starting to walk to the elevator.

The elevator is quiet, and nobody is in it. Well, except for me. And me. Really Nico? E- yes. Whatever. I press the button '3' after a couple seconds. It starts going up after the, what feels like, hours of waiting for the door to close. Silence. Utter silence for the 2-3 minutes in the elevator.

The door finally opens at floor three, and I start making my way to the right wing. As I cross the first of 5 halls, I start to speed up, I didn't realize it until I reach the second hall. I slow down a little, matching my footsteps with my breathing. I srart counting my steps. One... Two... Three... Four... By the time I reached Midoriya's room, I had counted 432 steps.

As I go to knock on the door, a nurse walks over. She probably checks on him every hour. I think.

"Oh, a visitor for him, his mom is in there right now, and the room is quite small, the maximum visitor limit is 2, just letting you know." She says as she passes by me.

Okay. That was weird. I think as I knock three times. I hear scuffling coming from behing the door, and then it opens. The first thing I notice is Ms. Midoriya, and her tear stained face.

"O-oh, hi T-Todoroki. Come in." She says with a stutter.

"Hello Ms. Midoriya. Sorry for running into you a couple days ago." I say in my stupidly monotone voice.

"It's fine.." she says before turning to face her son.

  If you woulda got up there earlier, you would have been able to stop him before his adrenaline rush and before he hit his head. Totally helps right now, Nico.. I think as I start crying. Suddenly, my phone starts buzzing. I ignore it because I know it's my father, wondering where I am, and I know he's going to yell at me when I get home. I put my phone on silent as I hear, "Aren't you going to respond?" from Ms. Midoriya.

"No, I know it's my father, a-and I really don't want to d-deal with his eternal anger towards me." I say, trying to keep it together.

"Three days..." I whisper, "Three days. That's how long ago you tried to... I'm lucky I saw you in there." I knew Ms. Midoriya was confused by what I said, but I didn't care. "Im sorry..." At this point, tears are streaming down my face, and I barely hear the knock on the door.

"I'll get it, I need to go anyway," I say while getting up. I walk to the door, open it, and am surprised by Bakugo, standing behind it. His usually angry eyes seem dull, and his face surprisingly emotionless. I give him a quick nod, and I leave.

I start walking. I pull out my phone, seeing '33 unread messages from Enji' I open messages and see messages like 'Where are you?!', 'Come home now', and a LOT of others. I stop at the elevator, press the down button, and wait. Ding! I hear as the doors open. I walk into the elevator and press the ground floor button. My phone buzzes some more, but this time it's from an unknown number. Huh. That's weird. I never get unknown texts. What does it say?

I open the texts, and read them.

Bold- unknown
Italic- Todoroki

Hello, Todoroki.
Who is this?
Nobody of importance, now tell me, where are they?
Where is who?
You know who.
No, I don't. I know many people, but I don't know who you are taking about.
The blond boy.
Oh, Bakugo. What the hell do you want from him?
None of your business. Now where is he?

I read their last message, roll my eyes, and turn my music on while catching the bus home, since it started to rain.

*short time skip*

"SHOTO! WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU??!!"

"Tell you when I'm not coming directly home after school. Yeah, yeah." I say, walking up to my room.

"So, where the fuck were you??" The asshole asked.

"Hospital, shit face." I said, although the last part was only to where I could hear it.

  One day. One day until he wakes up..
