What the hell is his problem? I ask about his family to try and be supportive and he just blows up. I need to stop thinking about it and go to sleep. Just because we had a big fight when we graduated and broke up doesn't mean he has to be a prick. I don't still have feelings with him. He's just an old friend in need of help. That's it. Ugh, go to sleep damn it! I turn onto my side and pull my blanket up aggressively, pushing the thoughts from my head.
~Time Skip~
I groan as my alarm blares but at least its Saturday. I get up and walk to the kitchen, still in just some shorts. I may as well cook soba. I hear him mumble softly before stretching and getting up. I look away with a slight blush as I cook. I still remember every scar, the way his lips turn up when I promise him something or the tiny sparkle of hope in his eyes when I told him how wonderful he was. I'm snapped out of my thoughts as I hear him sit on tbe counter with a soft sigh. "I... I'm sorry about last night. I just left Fuyumi and Dad was going to beat me again and Suki has cancer, I just had a rough night but it was completely out of order. I'm sorry." He says and I huff. "Sho- Todoroki. Its fine, I understand its a rough time for you. I'm moving into the new place Monday and I'll change the paperwork to have you too. I'm here for you, okay?" I say and he nods. I still want to walk over and hug him, let him taste the food to make sure the noodles are done the way he likes, tuck my head into his neck and tell him it'll be okay. I've always known I'm not over him, but this just stabs my heart. He's right here, hurting and asking for help but keeping me at arm's length. Its frustrating.
I look up to see him staring at me and my mind flashes back to third year. His arms around my chest and head tucked into my back because he needed someone to ground him. I'm not that person anymore. "What?" I ask but my voice lacks it's characteristic bite. "N-nothing. When will breakfast be ready?" He says and I groan silently. I'm definitely hitting the bar tonight. "Few minutes." I reply softly, hurt just a little that he doesn't trust me to say what he's thinking anymore. I fix him a bowl and set it in his lap before taking two to dad and the old hag then grab one for me. He's eating away but too slow for normal if he's still the cold soba loving Shoto I know. No. Todoroki. I'm tempted to ask him what he's thinking about but keep my mouth shut. This is awkward. I finish quickly and grab his bowl as he's already done. Too many memories with cold soba but it's his favorite. "Thanks." He says and I nod. "Yeah." I say and head to my room to get dressed. I pull on an old hoodie and some jeans before coming back out. Oh All Might. Fuck. Was that on purpose? He's wearing my hoodie. The one that used to be my favorite. Ouch. I gulp and look away for a moment before looking back at him.
"So uh, I was planning to get groceries and coffee for the Old Hag today. You can come with me if you want." I say and he nods, grabbing his phone before walking towards me. "Sorry about the sweatshirt, I kinda only grabbed the important stuf- er, the things closest to me that I needed." He says and I just shrug it off. I grab my keys, phone, and wallet then we head out to my truck. He gets in and so do I before cranking it up and we get going. I normally take a few backroads to enjoy the scenery but today I just take the most direct route. "Look, I know its really awkward right now but let's just act normal okay? Let's just act like old friends, and it isn't too far from the truth." He says and its just another stab to the heart. Yeah, let's just act like we didn't have a meaningful relationship that ended on a rough note and left me wanting more.
"Okay. I'm still here if you need to rant or something, that never changed." I say and he nods thankfully. "I'll start searching for a new job Monday." He says and I turn my head slightly. "I could get you a job at my agency. You're number five and known to be good with fans and kids, it won't be hard. We'd be happy to have you." I say and he shakes his head. "I can't lean on you for everything, but I'm thinking I'll apply to yours first." He says and I nod. That's understandable. Its not long before I pull into a Walmart and we get out. We explore a little while we walk around. "Hey look, its you." He teases and holds up a pack of orange pop rocks. I roll my eyes but smile, I sure did miss his sarcasm. "Yeah, yeah." I grumble but he just grins. We walk on before I grab an Icyhot pack and show it to him. "Hey look, its you." I tease back and he laughs. I smile brightly as we walk on, me pushing the cart and him holding the list and telling me what we need to get.
"Milk and i- nevermind." He says and I turn to look at him. "Milk and what?" I ask and stop by the milk to grab one from the fridge. "Ice, but I got it." He says and I nod. We head to the checkout and he pulls out a wallet but I grab his wrist. "Nope." I say and the cashier looks up. She looks to be an older American woman. "That'll be 12,862 yen. Anything else I can get for you lovebirds?" She asks and my eyes widen and a small blush covers my face. "Ah, no. He's actually my ex. We're good, no thanks." I say and start putting the bags in the cart quickly. "Sure, honey." She says and rolls her eyes and I have half a mind to show her my quirk but he tugs on my arm. "Lets go." He sayd and I huff by follow, pushing the cart.
