I Never Thought He Would Love Me! (Midoriya x Todoroki)

Chapter Six: Visiting Todoroki-kun

"OK fine!"

Midoriya looked at Todoroki-kun's response. He had butterflies in his stomach. He's never been to his house before. He'd be there...alone. It's weird but, they've never been alone together much before. So, it would be a little nerve-wracking. Midoriya still felt a bit embarrassed after his failed confession. Even though he had nothing to feel embarrassed about. Todoroki-kun didn't show up, so, it's not like he knew the letter from Midoriya. But then...what if he did know and that's why he didn't turn up. Maybe that's why he was quite insistent that Midoriya didn't come over.

Midoriya looked at his phone screen. Maybe he shouldn't do this. Perhaps he should text Todoroki-kun and tell him something came up. No! Midoriya couldn't do that. It'd be too rude.

Midoriya swallowed. He knew this would be his chance to face him. If he built up the courage, maybe, just maybe, he could confess. Couldn't he?

What's the worst thing that could happen?

Well, Todoroki-kun could say no for a start. He might think Midoriya is disgusting and never want to talk to him again. He might attack.

Tears started to flood Midoriya's eyes. What if all that did happen? Midoriya wouldn't cope if Todoroki-kun hated him. He might tell everyone and they would all hate him too.

"Oh no..." Midoriya whimpered.

"Deku-kun!" Uraraka interrupted.

Midoriya looked up at her, teary eyed.

"What's wrong!?" She asked concerned.

"N-nothing!" Midoriya said shaking his head. He suddenly stands up and runs out the class leaving Uraraka confused. He ran into the boys toilets and locked himself in one of the cubicles.

He sat on top of the toilet, brought his knees into chest and buried his head into arms. He couldn't do this. There's no way he could cope with it all. Why did he have to have all these feelings for Todoroki-kun.

"It's not fair!" He mumbled between sobs.

"Deku-kun..." a voice said.

"Deku-kun...please...please talk to me..."

Midoriya lifted his head, it was Uraraka calling out to him. He rubbed his eyes, wiping away the tears.

"I don't want to talk!" He replied.

"Please Deku-kun! Something is clearly upsetting you. Talk to me!"

Midoriya didn't respond.

"It's...it's about Todoroki-kun, isn't it?"

Midoriya eyes widened. How did she know!? Nobody knows about his feelings for Todoroki-kun!

"H-how...did you know?" He asked.

"Please just come out" She pleads.

There's silence for a few moments...

*Click*

The cubicle door opens slightly and Uraraka can see one teary eye peeking through the small gap.

"Come on" She says with her arms wide open.

Midoriya throws the cubicle door open and embraces Uraraka. His tears crashing like an unstoppable wave. Uraraka rubs his back consolingly.

"It's alright...it's alright" she repeats.

After a while, Midoriya slowly pulls away from their embrace.

Uraraka smiles. "OK, talk to me"

"How did you know?" He asks wiping away his tears.

"Uhm..." she begins, "I saw Todoroki-kun reading a note about meeting under the big tree. I was discreetly looking over his shoulder and I recognised your handwriting" she says looking guilty.

"Are you...ok...with me, you know...being uhm...gay?"

Uraraka giggles. "Of course I am silly"

Midoriya starts to tear up again and hugs her. "Thank you!"

Uraraka smiles and hugs her friend tightly. "Talk to Todoroki-kun" she whispers in his ear.

Midoriya gasps. "I can't..."

"Of course you can. You have to. You won't feel better until you tell him"

Midoriya pulls away from the hug and looks her in the eyes.

"But what if he says no? What if he hates me?"

"That's the risk you have to take. I'm not going to tell you what to do. At the end of the day, it's 100% your decision" Uraraka concluded.

"...Right..."

Midoriya is standing outside of Todoroki-kun's house. He has the soup he bought in his hand. He took heed to what Uraraka said. He's still extremely nervous.

What will Midoriya do?
