By the time he realized it. He was already in love. It’s no secret his home life wasn’t the best. He lacked the love of a parents ever since his mother was put into a hospital, far away from him. A small part of him always craved the warmth of another human being at his side. Before he knew it, he had already longed for it. To the point it drove him a little insane. The simplest touches had his chest tighten and his heart physically ache. There was always that one person that stood out to him. The one who changed his mind about his quirk and altered his perspective. It’s been a few years after graduation, him and that one person that always stood out to him meet up for dinner or drinks every now and then. This ache he feels is worsening by the day.
After the sports festival, Todoroki was left confused. He had promised not to use his life side—for anything. Especially not against another person. But Midoriya shattered his entire way of thinking and opened his eyes to look at a different point of view. One that his mother talked about years ago and one he’d forgotten. Still, he’s unsure about his path forward… He’s been plagued with dreams of his mother and ones with his father. Each time he wakes up in a panic, heart racing, body sweating and pale, and his quirk activated. Sometimes he ends up in tears from the sheer shock and fear that consumes him. These dreams make sleep unbearable. He’s begun to fear sleep. Because of his lack of rest, his performance in school has plummeted and he’s collapsed during training more times than he remembers.
Rin has known about Todoroki’s past. When she was just a young, she was shoved into the Todoroki house hold and said that Shoto would most likely become her husband when she became of age. Shoto was still a boy himself, they were both so confused. Thankfully for them, Endeavor believed Rin wasn’t good enough for his masterpiece as quick cut ties with her family. However, Shoto and Rin still very much remember each other. How could they forget? Rin was there the day his mouth scarred his face, she tried to stop the burning herself. Surprisingly, they dont talk much while they are at school. Maybe it’s because none of them what to bring up such an unpleasant past. But sometimes, when their bones ache and their body are battered, they seek each other out. No reason in particular. But they can’t help but find comfort in each others presence. No one says a word in those moments, sometimes they lean on each other. Now everyone is in the dorms, their silence meetings have become more frequent. Some suspect, some don’t care. Seems they dropped their guard.
There’s always been something lurking back in Izuku’s mind. It’s been there ever since the sports festival when he finally got through Shouto’s thick skull. When he embraced his whole being, Izuku feels such an intense ache in his chest that fogs his mind. It’s sometimes too much when he watches the prodigy.
