PYSCHO

Bruises and Marks

Y/n stood in front of the mirror quietly observing the gown that Todoroki had picked out for her. Tonight they were having guests come over, y/n still unsure of who they are, but she never bothered to ask him. The greatest concern she had going on was the bruises that showed visibly through her dress. The love marks stood loudly on her neck as for the rest were just the mark of torture. Y/n was unsure of what to do to hide them from the strangers this evening, just then one of her maids came in.

"Oh my, madam y/n you look lovely", the older maid stated while placing her laundry basket on the ground. A shy grin grew on Y/n's lips as she looked back at her own reflection.

"Thank you, but please just call me y/n. Madam Y/n seems formal for me."

"Oh but dear, that was the boss's orders." The maid stated while walking up to y/n, shifting her dress around.

"May i ask, how can I cover these bruises?", she fidgeted with her fingers while looking down at the olden made from her petistoole.

"Nothing make up can not fix, but have no worries, we can deal with that later. Now you have all of the daylight to burn to do whatever is needed for you. Master todoroki is in his office if you need him." And with that, the maid left the young and hopeless y/n in her cold room all alone. The emptiness in her heart grew, she didn't want to have guests over, she didn't want to dress up and hide the marks on her skin. Her eyes saddened as she looked into the mirror longer, seeing how thin and pale she had gotten over the years. Before todoroki took her in, y/n had more meat on her bones with skin that glowed of melanin. Now that she lived with him, she lost it all. Todoroki had put her on a strict diet to keep her his and to ensure she was dedicated to him. Y/n was always so brave and bold on the outside, only one person could actually see how eak she was, and that person was her beloved Shouto Todoroki. She thinks that maybe that is why she had fallen in love with him, because he was the only one who could really see her.

It made her feel special that someone could actually notice what she is really like, who she really is as a person. Y/n never really wanted to be a hero, she only wanted to please others around her. The idea of people being proud of her made her heart race in excitement. Todoroki saw who she really was and used it to manipulate her. He could still see the sparkle in her eyes when she believed he was pleased with her. The fire of dominance would grow in his eyes as he would watch her weak body obey every word of him.

Y/n did her daily laps around the mansion, she knew every detail and corner of the dark palace. She was unsure if she would make her way to Todoroki's office as she had no idea what he was doing at the moment.

"Taking a peek wouldn't hurt anybody.", she told herself as she led her way to his office. Todoroki could hear her move closer as her soft feet echoed against the marbled floor. He chose to ignore acting like he did not know she was coming, maybe even ignore her in general. Y/n finally made it to the glass doors of his space, she looked at him with glowing eyes and a smile. Todoroki looked up at her with a cold glare before looking back down at his work. The glare pierced through her eyes sending a shiver down her spine. Unsure if to go in leave Y/n just stood there looking out the grand window next to his office. The sun was shining on the ground and she could almost feel it's warmth as her fingers caressed the glass. Todoroki noticed the way she looked outside with sad puppy eyes, he had realized she had not been out in a good bit and the lack of vitamin d could kill her.

Therefore, todoroki stood up from his chair walking quickly to where Y/n was standing. Behind her, he wrapped his arms around her waist placing his head on her shoulder. Y/n flinched from the sudden movement while looking over to where shouto had rested on her.

"You seem to miss the sun, my dear, is that true?" Y/n simply nodded her head to his words. She never realized how much she was craving the natural warmth of the sun, she was so used to living in darkness. "Would you like to go outside, I can come with you. We can walk around, I have some things to discuss with you." He let her go while going back to the office grabbing his coat. Instead of putting it on him he placed it on her slim shoulders, the heat of the fur jacket took y/n by surprise, she was grateful he was being so kind.

"Thank you, Shouto.", she told him while opening the front door. Todorki took the door from her grasp, opening it the rest of the way. He let her walk out before him which was a surprise to her.

They walked side by side in the garden, the fresh bloom of the dark roses reminded y/n of her home. Y/n had a quirk to make plants grow and strengthen them but she was sworn off to ever use it as now she lived with shouto. Y/n was only able to use it when he wanted her to work on the garden she had built.

"Your garden looks beautiful my dear." They walked with their arms interlocked with one anothers, y/n saw it as a romantic stroll, todoroki saw it as a way so she would not escape. Seeing how healthy her garden was in the winter scared him, her quirk was still as strong as ever even only being allowed to use it so little.

    "Thank you, I am glad nothing has died off yet." She stated.

    "Don't worry about things dying off, if you are the one to nourish this land, it will last a lifetime.", his words were like a christmas carol to her ears. She felt more confident in herself knowing he was proud of her. "Anyways, darling, I don't want you to feel nervous of me inviting strangers tonight. It is someone that we both know from the UA academy. An old friend if I may say.", Y/n looked up at him confused, a friend?

    "Who will it be, if I can ask?" curiosity was now the thing that awoke her and not anxiety. Todoroki looked down at the smaller female grinning.

"It's a surprise but I am sure once you see who it is, you will be excited.", as simple as that, Todoroki now knew the plans for tonight. Another trick up his sleeve just so he could punish her. Her behaviour ever since the other night, has been well. He was growing bored of how calm and patient she had been. He knew that once she saw who the guest was it would make her act differently and even grow comfortable around the person. Just what he needed to make his jealousy bloom like a wildflower.
