Hero

Chapter 23

The next day, the Class A notices that your happiness influenced Shouto too. They would never think that one day, they could see Todoroki sings, and that day happened. Midoriya noticed that during lessons, he moves his leg with a specific rhythm and sometimes he hit his pen on the desk following it.

"(Y/N)-chan, what did you do to infect him with your music? " thinks Izuku, "And (Y/N)-chan plays a new song today. The rhythm is completely different form the yesterday one. Why I have this feeling when I see her though? I think that she is wearing a mask, but it seems sincere to me, so why I feel this way? I understand that Todoroki-kun is more protective because he is afraid to lose her, he can't do anything about her quirk, so he prefers that she uses it as less as possible... But somehow, even Todoroki-kun seems a little tired today... Iida-kun is skipping school to stay by his brother's side, (Y/N) and Todoroki that hide something from us... What is this? "

During the first break, you and Shouto prefer to go outside since the weather is nice. You sit on a bench and as soon nobody sees you, you fall on Shouto's lap and sigh tired. Unfortunately, you didn't check the windows, where your classmates can see you.

<<They are doing the 69 position->> Mineta's head is crushed against the glass.

<<Stop it, man.>> it was Kirishima, and when he sees Izuku walks on his way, he calls him and gives a quick hint to him worried, <<Midoriya look, (Y/N)-chan and Todoroki both fall asleep!>> he covers his concern with a smile, <<Can you go to wake them up? We have to bring something to Aizawa-sensei.>>

<<Sure thing, don't worry.>> Eijiro pushes his friends away from the window and Midoriya is staring at the couple that is sleeping on the bench, (Y/N) on Shouto's lap, and Todoroki fell on her crouched legs, <<They are hiding something, but what? I know it's not my business, but... I need to do something about it.>>

When Izuku asked if you were ok, you just responded with the old sleepless night excuse. All Might's pupil saw that was a lie, there was a strange light inside your eyes that moment, but he didn't ask more, he just trusted your lie. During the lunch break, while you are eating, your phone buzzes.

"Grandpa?" you take immediately the call, he knows that you're at school, if he calls, something happened, <<Hello?>> Shouto studies every reaction you do, that tone of voice is not good, <<What? Are you kidding me?>>

"Something bad is happening... I'm sure of it..." thinks shamefully Todoroki, he doesn't know how, it's what the humans call "instinct" that is telling him those words.

<<I don't know if they will send me home earlier, I'll try. Ok, I'm coming.>> you end the call ready to leave, but someone grabs gently your wrist.

<<Everything is ok? Do I need to go with you?>> Uraraka and Izuku watch quietly, they saw a change in your gaze, <<I'm coming too->> Todoroki stood up but your hand pushed him back on his seat, <<(Y/N)?>>

<<Grandma fainted so I just go to see her, everything is fine.>> her smile fades away when Shouto gazes at her.

<<Stop lying, what happened?>> he feels your hands shivering on his shirt, <<Hey, I'm here, I'm coming->>

<<Don't come...>> you let your head fall forward and stay like that, <<...I don't wanna do the same mistake again... I can't live with another sin inside my heart.... I don't know what happened either, so I'm going to check it and see if I can solve the problem by myself.>>

<<You don't have to endure everything by your->>

<<I'm strong, if I can't do this alone, then I don't deserve to be a hero, nor to carry the hopes and dreams of thousands of people on my shoulders.>> she smiles and pats lightly his shoulders, <<See you later.>>
