Shoto Todoroki has always endured quietly - the weight of his past, the fire in his blood the coldness of his skin, the silence from the people who were supposed to love him. But this summer, something breaks, and blood is shed. All love and hope lost... As his relationship with Bakugo deepens, so does the fracture left by a mother who refuses to accept who he is. And when words stop being enough, when the world becomes too loud and too quiet all at once, Shoto makes a choice that will change everything. A choice that will affect the lives of many people in his life leaving nothing but silences that echo forever and tears that fall for eternity. {This is based on the characters of the hit manga series My Hero Academia so they do not belong to me, however this story is created by me and my AU version of the story! Enjoy!!} Also cover art isn't mine so credits to original artist!
