Hanahaki

Chapter 22

Izuku's pov

I groaned a little at the pain in my head and tried to sit up. That was a mistake. Pain erupted in my head and my vision swam a little as I tried to focus on who was in front of me.

Once my vision cleared and stopped pulsing, I saw Todoroki crouching in front of me holding a bottle of water in his hands.

"You need to drink a lot of water today. Alcohol will dehydrate you."

I nod my head and chug the whole bottle of water before being offered a second one which I took a small sip of.

"Do you remember anything about last night? I mean...I remember your dare but after that..it hurts to think about."

He chuckled a little and sat down beside me. "Yeah. I remember up until the end of the game and a few things after that."

I nod my head and look around. Everyone else still seemed to be asleep. I gasp a little and turn to look at the camera and immediately regret the fast movements.

I grab my head and groan a little. Todoroki chuckled and lightly pats my head.

"We can look at the film tomorrow when you've recovered enough."

I nod my head and decide to not worry about it.

The whole class woke up about 30 minutes later and we slowly packed up our stuff. We were let out by the security guard and slowly made our way back to UA. Once there, we all retired to our rooms for the rest of the day to rest and recuperate.

I awoke the next morning feeling way better than I had yesterday. In total, I think I drank like a gallon or two of water in an attempt to dull the effects of the hangover.

I think back to the night in the park and can remember a little more, but not much. The only thing that I really worried about though, was Todoroki's dare.

Did it mean something more than what it was? He had so tenderly kissed me and...I don't know. Does this change things?

As the thought of Todoroki comes to mind, I remember that he has the film.

I quickly go over to his dorm and knock on the door. He answers and says hello before his eyes quickly fall to my neck a few times.

I touch it lightly and wince a little. It's still tender. "Does it look that bad?"

"Not...too bad."

"I haven't actually seen it. Can I use your bathroom?"

He nods his head and let's me go to his dorm. He follows me to the bathroom and props his shoulder against the door frame as I look at the purplish-reddish-pinkish marks on my neck.

I touch it lightly and suppress my wince before smiling a little. I'm glad that happened before I died at least.

I turned back to Todoroki who was also looking at the marks he made.

"Sorry about those."

I shake my head saying, "Don't worry about it. I... kinda like them anyway. It makes me feel like I've been claimed by someone kinda."

He blushed a little and turns around to go back into his room.

He tried to play it off, but I think he must have really been hurt by Kacchan because his wrists have purple bruises around them and he was keeping an arm almost too casually around his middle.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, Kacchan attacked you and your wrists are bruised and I'm assuming he must have punched you or something because it looks like your ribs are hurting a little."
