Big! Dabi Little! Shoto Todoroki
PLATONIC
Summary: While Todoroki is on his nightly stroll for his internship, what happens when the LOV suddenly appears out of nowhere and kidnaps him?
WARNING: KIDNAPPING/SLIGHT BULLYING!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The city was quiet and at peace as the autumn breeze carried fallen leaves around in circles as if doing a sacred dance. The street lights illuminated the abandoned areas of the town as many families sat around for their nightly ritual of dinner and television.
The soft sound of animals played like music as birds flew throughout the sky and squirrels crunched on acorns and other small snacks that they could find.
Only heroes and their interns were left on the streets at this time of night, but soon even they would be headed back to their homes.
The crisp cool air hit against Todoroki's skin as he walked around his designated block keeping an eye out for anyone who may cause issues. He takes a moment to stop pacing and check his watch.
A small sigh leaves the young boy's lips as he realizes that his shift is finally over meaning he could go back to the dorms and regress. He needed the break after such a long and exhausting day.
He pulls his phone out of his pocket sending his father and mentor a quick message letting him know that he was planning to head straight back to the dorms. Once the text message is sent, Todoroki places his hands into his pockets as he glanced around the neighborhood he had been patrolling for the past few hours.
The young teen walked towards the UA dorm rooms taking in the beautiful scenery around him, it was very rare that he ever got the chance to just relax and admire the small things around him, like the whistling wind that pushed a set of swings at the local park, or the soft muffled music that echoed from the radio station that was across the street.
He gave a small smile to himself before granting himself permission to sit on the swings for a bit as a reward for his hard work. His legs pushed out a bit as the swing began to move back and forth in a fluid motion.
His mind began to grow fuzzy in a very small way, it wasn't overwhelming meaning he was capable of still taking care of himself.
After a few minutes of swinging silently, Shoto decides it is best for him to go home so that way he could fully regress in the privacy of his own bedroom.
Once again the city was quiet except now all Shoto could hear or focus on was the sound of his footsteps hitting the sidewalk and crushing small leaves underneath his work shoes. He giggles a bit at the crinkling sound as he nears the street that UA is placed upon.
As Shoto makes another turn towards his school a cloud of purple and black smoke appears before him. He stops in his tracks as he looks towards the obstacle with confusion written all over his face.
Although he had seen this cloud a few times before, his now almost regressed brain was struggling to understand the danger of the situation. So out of curiosity, Shoto raised his hand and guided it towards the smoke when suddenly a pair of purple scarred hands reach out towards him.
Shoto smacks the hands away in a childish manner before the hands grab at the young boy soon pulling him into the smoke.
The moments following feel almost like a blur to the young boy as hands wrap around him tying a rope to every available limb as if to restrain the boy from using his powers. A blindfold is placed around his eyes as he begins to breathe heavily.
The silence is deafening as Shoto sits against a chair completely bound to where there was no chance of escape. The little one wasn't sure where he was or what was happening. He just knew that he was scared and that no one was talking to him.
"H-hello?" He says in a soft voice looking around as if to hopefully feel the presence of someone considering the blindfold against his eyes.
"You know why you're here." A raspy voice echoes out across the room. The voice sent chills down Shoto's spine as he shakes his head slowly.
"No mister, did I do something wrong? I did my job good today, I was good on patrol." The boy says quietly trying to figure out who he was talking to.
"I thought this one had more fire in him, like that Bakugo kid!" A female voice says as Shoto turns his head to face the direction of the speaker.
"Can you please takes off the thingy on my eyes, I can't sees and I don't like the dark," Todoroki says as he fidgets and wiggles in his chair.
"Don't you dare move you brat! You're staying put!" The same raspy voice says.
Small tears begin to well up in the boy's eyes as he begins to panic a bit. He sniffles and coughs as his breathing continue to speed up.
"Is he crying? What kind of kid at his age cries like a baby?" The girl says again getting closer to the bound boy.
"Miss I'm scared, I can't helps it. Please take the dark cloth off pwease. I don't like the dark." He whines as more hot tears fall making the cloth on his eyes dampen.
A small sigh is heard before cold soft hands reach up towards Todoroki's face removing the cloth that caused the boy such distress.
Shoto squints looking around at the room seeing everyone who inhabited the place. "Can I please go homes now? I'm very sleepy and I think Sparky will miss me if I'm gone too long."
"Who the hell is Sparky?" The raspy voice belonging to the blue haired man says sharply.
"Could he mean that boy with the spark quirk? The cute blonde one?" The blonde hair says giving off a small blush.
The pair looks toward the boy again as he shakes his head quickly, "No that's Kami, Sparky isn't Kami."
"Then who the hell is Sparky?!" The male yells again.
Shoto flinches as more tears come to the edge of his eyes. He sniffles again as a small sob echoes out across the room.
"Please no yell. Todo don't like it." He whimpers and flinches as he tries to not listen to the mans outburst.
The man comes closer to the young boy and gets close to his face. He lifts a hand preparing to place it on the regressed little one.
"If you don't answer my goddamn questions and do as you are told I will not hesitate to turn you into ashes. Do you fucking hear me?" The blue haired male says causing the boy to sob even harder.
"Please go away mister! I just wanna go home! I wanna see Sparky and eat my snacks and watch my cartoon! Please let me go! Sparky is gonna get so lonely!" He wails as more tears cascade down his cheeks.
"That's it, you are of no use to me." The male pulls his hand back as if preparing it to hit the boy. Suddenly another hand appears out of no where grabbing the elbow of the crusty man stopping him.
"We never agreed on hurting him. Just let him go now. Hurting him like this ins't worth it. He is obviously not in the state to be of any good use to us." The man with purple scarred skin says.
Shoto hiccups slightly as he watches the interaction.
"Well what about this Sparky person? What if this brat goes home and tell him everything, then we will have more crap to deal with."
A long pause creates a wide silence amongst everyone in the room.
"Sparky is his stuffed dragon. He got it when he was a kid. He probably still has it in his room."
The crusty older man gives a look of distaste and backs away from the dual haired boy. He looks between the two before scoffing, "Guess mental issues just run in your family Dabi."
Without another word the man leaves the room with the girl following close behind. Once the two are gone, Dabi quickly works on releasing the young boy from his restraints.
Todoroki whines as he rubs the rope burns that litter his soft snow like skin.
Dabi walks towards the bar area grabbing some ointment before applying it to the little one's wrist.
A sigh leaves Shoto's body as it begins to relax once again.
"I'm sorry you were treated that way, I didn't realize that you were a regressor now little man. I guess you can't be a tough badass hero all the time right?"
Todoroki squints his eyes as his eyebrows furrow together, "That's a bad word, you can't say that."
Dabi chuckles shaking his head a bit, "Right, you're right, my bad. The older of the two smiles a bit before gently picking the smaller boy up. "How about I get you home so that Sparky doesn't get all lonely?"
Shoto smiles and nods as he leans into the man that helped him out.
The two silently make their way out of the building and towards the dorm rooms once again. Once they reach the entrance of the school, Dabi places Shoto on the ground giving him a reassuring smile.
"Now be good and get inside before you're late for curfew, and remember that what happened earlier is our secret for now okay?" Dabi says to which Shoto nods understanding.
The older begins to walks away before hearing a small voice which causes him to stop,
"I miss you Touya, thank you for saving me."
Dabi looks back seeing Shoto with small tears in his eyes. The purple scarred male smiles a bit in shock before a few tears arise to his own eyes. He coughs trying to cover it up and gives a small way.
"I miss you too little bro."
