It had been two weeks since that incident and I still couldn't face Tamaki. After my internship I decided to take some days off from school. Things had gotten complicated and we never found the person responsible for hurting the girl. She was taken into a safe house where she'd be protected 24/7 until whoever was a part of this was caught. I knew that hiding wouldn't do me any good but I didn't know what else to do. The nightmares haven't stopped and no matter what I did I still saw his face every time I closed my eyes.
"Y/n.."
My mom opens the door and she looks at the ground.
"He's here again isn't he?"
She nods and I look out the window. I see Tamaki waiting and I sigh. Ever since that day he hadn't stopped trying to get my attention. I knew his intentions were good but I couldn't let anyone see me like this. I didn't want him to see me like this.
"You know what to tell him.." I say to her.
She stayed quiet and left my room and did what I asked from her. I just wanted to stay alone. I couldn't bear the feeling I felt inside me and I didn't know what else to do. I wanted to see his face. I wanted to talk to him but I couldn't do it. I wished somewhere along the way that I could change the feelings I felt inside. To let go of the pain.
[Tamaki's POV]
"I'm really sorry.."
I looked up at her window and saw a glimpse of her. I hated not being able to do anything for her.
"Thanks anyways.."
I smiled and started to walk away. I couldn't just stand by and watch her do this to herself. I needed to do something. To see her smile once again.
"Hey."
I turned around and to my surprise it was Todoroki. He wore the same expression he always wore on his face and stayed still. I wasn't sure what to say to him and I was surprised he was even talking to me since he always headed to y/n house after me. I stood silent waiting for him to say something and it felt as if we had been standing here for an eternity.
"Have you.."
He hesitated for a moment and looked at me with a serious look.
"Have you talked to her?"
She wasn't talking to him either? I was surprised by this since Todoroki had known Y/n longer than me. This meant she was really keeping everything by herself.
"I haven't.." I admit.
He seemed angry by my response and approached me. He grabbed the collar of my shirt and stared me straight in the eyes.
"You're telling me she's been by herself this whole time!?"
His eyes were filled with anger but I could tell he was more angry with himself. I grabbed his wrist and looked at him. This wasn't the time to be doing this and I hated the idea of saying this to him but I really had no choice.
"I want to know about her! That day.. She told me she saw something she wished she could forget. I'm not sure what she meant by that and I want to help her anyway I can! So can we please just have a civil conversation? For her sake?"
He stared at me for what seemed an eternity. I wasn't sure what he was thinking but I really hoped he would at least tell me what I needed to know. He let go of my shirt collar and sat down on the nearby bench. I sat down beside him and he stared down at the ground.
"I guess I really don't have a choice. It happened 6 years ago."
[Todoroki's POV story]
As kids she would always have a bright side to her. One you couldn't ever get rid of. Her smile was the one thing that kept me going through my father's abuse. The only person I had other than my mom at the time. One day that person disappeared and I never saw that smile ever again.
"Y/n.."
She sat there for three days. Beside her father's grave. She wouldn't talk and she wouldn't listen to anyone else. She kept to herself and shut herself away from the world. I stayed beside her side but I was never actually able to help her. The fact was that she had to do what was needed for her own survival.
"Y/n! Talk to me already!"
I begged for her to tell me what happened on that day. All I knew was that she saved her father's sidekick from him. She was rewarded for her deed and was pressured into becoming a hero. No one considered the fact that she had to kill her own father to survive. As people ran away and left her to handle it herself.
"I hate heroes. They're nothing but liars! This society is a mess and I want nothing to do with it!"
The rage inside her was awful and I thought she would become nothing more than a villain. After I went against Stain I started to see it from her perspective. Almost everyone has a quirk but no one helped her. Instead she had to save herself from her own father who was a victim of a mind control quirk. No one had ever catched this man nor knew anything about him. All they knew was his alias. Control freak. Because of him many heroes turned against their own and brutally killed each other. The one and only reason she became a hero was to find him. To make him pay for everything he put her through. She pledged to give her father the justice he deserved by capturing this villain and making sure he never hurts anyone.
"When I find him. Can I count on you to stay by my side?"
"I will."
She trained hard to get to where she is. She never wanted to be a hero and she never wanted to help anyone. It wasn't because she was selfish but because she wasn't able to protect someone she cared about. She simply said.
"Murderers aren't heroes."
The only purpose she had was to catch the man who put her through so much hell. She will never stop until she finds him. He went into hiding right after that day and no one has heard of him since but she doesn't want to give up. She will do anything in her power to get the justice she wanted.
[End]
I couldn't believe what he was saying. It almost didn't feel real. She's been through that much? I could see why she didn't want to see me or anyone for that matter.
"I'm going back."
I get up from my seat and Todoroki stops me from leaving. I turn around and he hands me a bag.
"Tell her I'll be waiting for her."
I nod and I start to run to her house. I needed to tell her before it was too late. I promised I'd protect her no matter what. I knocked on her door and her mom opened again.
"Come in."
I nodded and I rushed into Y/n's room. She had been crying all by herself and this sight of her made me angry. I hugged her tightly and placed my hand behind her head.
"I'll say it one more time. You aren't alone."
She moved me away and stared at the ground.
"You're wrong! I am alone and I've always been alone.."
She covered her face and cried. The kind of crying you would never forget. It pained my heart to hear her in so much pain and I couldn't take it anymore. I pulled her into my arms and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"I made a promise to be there for you whenever you needed me. Let me protect you."
I looked into her eyes to show her my sincerity. She hugged me tightly and I hugged her back. I let her cry as much as she needed to and I was glad she could trust me.
"You won't leave me right?"
I smile and put my hand on her head.
"I wouldn't dream of it."
She wiped her tears and smiled. I was happy to see her in a better mood and I felt better about the whole thing.
[Your pov]
"Have this."
He hands me a white bag and I grab it.
"Todoroki asked me to give you that. He also said he'd be waiting for you."
I opened the bag and I saw a bunch of my favorite snacks inside. Inside was a note and I grabbed it. I put it to the side and looked up at Tamaki.
"Thank you." He nods and starts to get up.
"I should get going. Come to school tomorrow okay?"
I nod and he starts to head out. I look back at the note nervously. I was nervous about opening it and I wasn't sure what it was going to say. I slowly opened the note and I began to read. Every word I read made my heart beat fast. I quickly got up and grabbed my sweater. I headed out of my house as fast as I could and I ran as fast as I could. I finally made it in front of his house and I knocked on the door.
"Y/n? Do you want to speak with my brother?"
I nod and she lets me inside. I headed into his room and saw him doing his work and he turned to look at me. I could tell he was surprised to see me and I wasn't sure what I should say or do. I slowly approached him and sat next to him. I looked into his eyes and he stared back. I hugged him tightly and started to cry once again. He held me tightly and caressed my back. I couldn't say anything I wanted to tell him. I was afraid to speak out the way I felt towards him but I knew that if I couldn't do this I would never be brave enough to do anything.
"I love you!" His eyes widened.
My cheeks were red and I couldn't compose myself.
"I've always loved you Shoto!"
He stayed quiet and I was afraid. I didn't know what he was thinking at this moment and I wished I could just read his mind so I didn't feel this anxious.
"Y/n.."
He looked into my eyes and brought me closer to him. He placed his lips onto mine and my eyes widened. I couldn't believe this was happening and it always felt surreal. We finally broke free from the kiss and he smiled.
"I'm glad you told me." I nod.
I wasn't sure what was happening and I was afraid to ask him. Did I dare ask him? It was only a matter of time to grab my courage.
"Shoto I-"
He kissed me once again and pinned me on the ground. His kisses were rough and he kissed around my body. I couldn't handle the heat that was emanating from our bodies. This feeling was familiar to me and as he kissed me I couldn't help but think of him. It felt wrong but what I wanted was to feel his touch. To be with him again.
"S-Shoto.."
He stopped kissing me and looked at me. He placed his hand on my cheek and kissed my forehead.
"I got carried away. I'm sorry, y/n."
I sat back up and he held my hand tightly. It was true that I was happy but I couldn't help but feel like something was missing.
"Y/n. Will you be my girlfriend?"
This was what I wanted right?
