Words Unsaid - Tododeku

-Chapter Twenty-Two- (Finale)

{Midoriya}

Midoriya sighed, rolling over in his bed. The room was nearly pitch-black, the only light coming from the streetlights outside and the small alarm clock on his nightstand reading 11:47 pm.

Two days had gone by before Midoriya was fit to return to school. He'd spent most of the time sleeping, waking only for a few minutes at a time to eat or drink. 

Todoroki had stayed by his side the entire time, using his quirk to regulate his temperature. Midoriya felt eternally grateful to the other boy for sticking with him during the last little while.

Midoriya let his eyes wander around his room, passing over the silhouettes of the furniture in his room. There was nothing for him to do. He'd grown bored of his laptop quickly and felt far too restless to fall asleep. 

He lay in bed for a while longer, just letting his mind wander. Eventually, he heard a knock from the wall.

(T: Are you awake?)

 Midoriya sat up immediately and turned to face the wall, preparing to knock back.

-.-- . .- .... --..-- / .-- .... .- - .----. ... / ..- .--. ..--..

(M: Yeah, what's up?)

Midoriya waited patiently for a response, losing hope with each passing second. After nearly a minute of silence, he heard a soft tap. He'd almost missed it, and had he not been looking out for it he probably would've.

(T: Do you hate me?)

(T: I'm fine, just feeling a bit unsure.)

(M: Do you wanna talk about it?)

Another pause, shorter than the last one, but still long enough to raise some concern.

.. - .----. ... / ..-. .. -. . .-.-.- / .-- . / ... .... --- ..- .-.. -.. / .--. .-. --- -... .- -... .-.. -.-- / --. . - / - --- / ... .-.. . . .--. / ... --- --- -. / .- -. -.-- .-- .- -.-- ... .-.-.-

(T: It's fine. We should probably get to sleep soon anyways.)

(M: No, something's wrong. Plus, I can't sleep.)

(T: Are you sure?)
