Todoroki's POV:
Both villain activity and the crime rate had been getting worse and worse lately, I was starting to worry about Izuku more, especially after learning about his father and how big a target he could become because of that. I even heard the teachers talking about moving all students to the training camp because the campus was too dangerous now...
                          
I tried not to think about that right then, unfortunately I had to go back to my father eventually, when I say that I mean three days prior. I'd been walking on eggshells ever since I got home. My family wasn't happy to hear the injuries I sustained, and how much training I had to miss because of them. Even when Natsuo and I both knew who's fault it was that I had them, he acted like it was all on me.
                          
My siblings would either ignore me or get angry with me, since they saw that I'd stopped visiting mom. I didn't want to burden her, especially if she didn't love me. But my siblings didn't see it that way. They didn't believe me when I said she didn't want me to be there. And they eventually guilt tripped me into going. I wish that I hadn't.
                          
When I got there, I was alone, mom didn't look happy to see me.
                          
Todoroki: Hello...
                          
Mom tilted her head, expression staying the same.
                          
R. Todoroki: What's wrong now?
                          
I immediately felt a bit of sadness pool in my stomach.
                          
Todoroki: Why does something have to be wrong for me to want to see you...?
                          
Mom shrugged and looked down, like she felt guilty about something.
                          
R. Todoroki: Well you haven't visited in a little while, so I'd assumed something happened with your engagement.
                          
I shook my head, trying to stay calm by thinking of Izuku and our unborn daughter.
                          
Todoroki: No, nothing happened, we're still okay, and happy.
                          
R. Todoroki: Then why were your siblings saying you were in trouble?
                          
I looked down, I was a little ashamed of how that encounter ended, but I wasn't going to apologize for protecting my family.
                          
I tried to forget about Kiken-San.
                          
Todoroki: It was something at school. Another student who hates our class attacked my fiancé and nearly landed him in the hospital, so I ended up fighting back to protect him, and nobody believed what actually happened, because that student acted like the victim.
                          
R. Todoroki: I thought you said that you and your fiancé were happy?
                          
Todoroki: We're happy with our relationship, I love him and he loves me. The incident didn't put a huge strain on our relationship, but it did make us both wary of the student that attacked him.
                          
My mom laid back and sighed, she didn't look at me once.
                          
R. Todoroki: How do you know for sure if your fiancé is happy with you? You said you wanted to get married after graduation? That's almost four months away, have you started planning?
                          
I shrugged, Izuku and I had been planning it out steadily, but for now we'd like to focus a little more on the baby. From how this has been going it seemed like our daughter would be two months old when we got married, so we probably wouldn't have had to worry about Izuku needing to stay in the hospital and delaying the wedding.
                          
It also stung to hear that question. It seemed obvious, but it also made me a bit concerned. I just wanted Izuku to be happy, and, why would he say he wanted to get married if he wasn't happy with me...? Either way it cut a bit deep thinking about it.
