Todoroki's [POV]

I couldn't help but turn a deep red. I looked at Izuku, I brushed his curls out of his face, even if they framed him perfectly, they still got in the way. Soulmates are made for one another, it could be true, but it could also change. I won't know, but I know Izuku wouldn't hurt me, by what I've seen so far, he can't hurt a fly.

I bring him closer to my chest, snuggling my face in his hair. I could feel myself getting drowsy, but wanting to savor this moment, I decided to grab my coffee I once forgot on the night stand. I took a few sips before putting down the black coffee.

I hold his face in my hand, brushing my thumb across his freckled cheek, feeling the soft plump surface under the tip of my thumb, wanting to feel it in my lips, Being he was asleep, I didn't, wanting him to be fine with it. I instead kiss his forehead, I see him smile in his sleep and he snuggles closer to my neck.

I let go of his face, missing the warmth, but instead of placing my hand back, I pick him up and I lay him down on the bed, I see him move around trying to grab for me, I smile, and grab a peace of paper, I also find a pen. I write that I would be going to my house to get more clothes and things, saying that I would be back later.

I left the note next to him and left the room quietly. I put on my shoes leaving the house and start walking to mine, I had a few texts and calls on my phone, 8 calls and 47 texts from Fuyumi, 3 calls and 23 texts from Natsuo, and 29 calls and 94 texts from the old man.

I never checked my phone, not really needing to, but seeing that I've been gone for a few days, I call back Fuyumi, knowing she would answer, and I was right.

F-"Shoto!? Where have you been!? Natsuo and I have been worried sick about you, why were you gone for two days!?" I sighed, brushing some hair out of my face.

T-"I spent the night at um, I guess I could say my soulmates house, the old man didn't seem so 'happy' with me so I decided to get a few things and ask to stay." I could hear her sigh before responding.

F-"So you met your soulmate, at least that's good to know, just tell me before going off again, how long are you gonna be gone for?" I think before coming up with a somewhat answer.

T-"For as long as needed, just till that old man can stop being so annoying, and leave me alone." She sighed,

F-"Are you coming back to get more things?" I could hear Natsuo yell in the back.

T-"Yeah, I am, I just need a few things." I was almost there.

F-"I'll pack you a few things so you can pick it up and leave before he gets home." I slightly smile.

T-"Thank you." We say out goodbye before hanging up.

I was close to house, just a bit more, I saw a few people on my way here, a few kids playing at the park, and parents watching their kids. I got to the house, unlocking the door before taking my shoes off, seeing a note saying she had to go, but left the bag on the couch.

I grab it and put other shoes on, just to let the old man know I came home. I locked the door as I got outside, walking back to Izuku's house. Passing things as before, but this time, the sun was setting. I look at the colors in the sky as I walked, I then bumped into a large mass.

I look up to see the old man, I scoff as I move around him, to only feel a tug, and be pulled back. It sent me memories, I wished to not remember. I pulled my arm away, to only be slapped in the face. I saw a few people stare, and a few people look away, or ignore the situation.

I could feel a tear go down my face, I wipe it walking towards Izuku's house, ignoring the sting in my cheek. I could hear him calling for me, i could feel him pacing after me. He snagged onto my hair, pulling me back once again. I smacked him hand off, earning another hit, but this time in my stomach.

I choke out blood, it being a hard hit to my stomach, I wipe it off running this time, continuing to cough up blood, and tears running down my face. I start to run out of breathe, so I turned a corner, and jumped over some bushes, and into a backyard, one after the other.

I was getting closer to Izuku's house, but it did hurt to run, it wasn't my legs, but my stomach to weak at that point, feeling like I could throw up blood at any second.

I could tell he stopped following me, I pushed myself just to make it around the last corner, just to make sure I lost him. Once I got to Izuku's house, I start walking, to the door. I knocked once or twice, before seeing the door open. I saw a tired Izuku, I just see as his eyes widen, I could see his eyes starting to water as I collapsed.

I could see everything getting fuzzy and dark, the last thing I see is Izuku helping me off the ground, while felt his tears fall on his face, I heard a fuzzy voice screaming and yelling.

Midoriya's [POV]

I couldn't stop crying, I called an ambulance, that's all I could do, I just held him till the ambulance got here. Once they did, they let me ride with him, which I was happy about, but I couldn't stop crying, how could I not?

Once we got there, they rushed him to the ER, I was sat in the waiting room, even though I could just sit and wait, I just paced around the room. I couldn't stay still, I couldn't stop crying, my mom was at home, being that she didn't hear me crying or yelling.

So I just waited. Waited for my soulmate to be fine, to be safe, to be back in his arms while I cried.
