Me while writing the scenario :
...
Today is just like any ordinary day - Oh wait, scratch that.
It's actually out of the ordinary because right now there's this so called "Who's Manly?" contest at Lunch Rush out of all the places.
Who made this? Well, it's none other than -
"Tetsutestsu!! You're up!"
Yep, the Kirishima clone - I mean, that student from Class B and he also happens to be my friend too.
I don't know what made up his mind to create a mini contest out of nowhere but maybe he got the idea of manliness from Kirishima?
Well, at least this will make lunch time more interesting, right?
"Alright, I'm up", said Tetsutestu and punched both of his fists, "I challenge..."
He scanned the cafeteria and of course, he pointed the red headed shark boy with a determined smile.
"Yo Kiri! Rematch from the sports festival!", Tetsutetsu said, "You know, the arm wrestling match!".
Kirishima stood up from his seat and punched both of his fists with a friendly competitive smile before running towards Tetsutetsu.
"You're on!!", Kirshima yelled and grinned.
My classmates / friends in Class 1-A started to watch our red headed shark battle to the death with Tetsutetsu and some of them even cheered their hearts out for him with excitement.
"Go, Kirishima!", Sero cheered.
"You can do it, dude!", Kaminari cheered as well.
"Oi, you better not lose, okay?!", Bakugou cheered too although just seems he's yelling at him since he was extra loud.
Midoriya, Iida and I just laughed watching them arm wrestle in the middle of the cafeteria and a lot of students are already getting rowdy from their cheers of excitement like it's the sports festival all over again.
Too bad Todoroki is not here though which is a mystery I'm trying to solve right now since this morning.
Like ever since I said greeted Todoroki during breakfast time in the dorm, he was wearing an indescribable facial expression and only nodded while saying a quiet, "Good morning".
He was also giving the same expression and response to the others as well and soon after that, I noticed he's keeping his distance with us.
These turn of events made me worried and I want to do something about it because he's my boyfriend! I hate to see him sad!
"(Y/N), do you know what happen to Todoroki-kun?", Iida questioned as he faced me.
I raised a brow and Midoriya added, "Iida and I wanted to have a chat with him like always but he didn't have the mood for it and stayed quiet. He's been like this since yesterday evening".
"Y-Yesterday evening?", I questioned.
They both nodded with sad expressions and Iida added, "Yes, we found him in a gloomy state at the boy's dorm hallway and looking at his phone".
My expression became a worried one and I don't seem to know how to comprehend this because I don't know what's on my dual-haired boyfriend's mind right now.
Is it Endeavor again? Or something else?
I can feel the thoughts of my head slowly becoming scrambled due to worry but I immediately shook my head.
"I...I really don't know what happen to him", I said and sighed, "But I'm positive that it doesn't have anything to do with us, I'm sure of it".
Midoriya and Iida only nodded with worried looks on their faces.
"Don't worry, I'm on the case here!", I added and smiled with reassurance, "I'm his girlfriend and a soon-to-be pro hero after all".
TIME SKIP (Brought you by Todoroki hugging two dogs - one is a pomeranian and the other is a beagle - Bakugou : "Grr, stop hugging me, Icy Hot!" | Todoroki : "Huh? Bakugou? I didn't know you're a dog-" | Bakugou : "S-Shut up! Blame that idiot who has this animal quirk!")
Our classes are finally dismissed and I did the best I could to approach Todoroki but little did I know, he was already gone inside the classroom after I fixed my things and finished chatting with one my friends.
Normally, he would patiently wait for me so we can go out together but looks like it didn't happen today.
This made my worry for him increase so I sighed but stayed positive.
I wanted to chase after him but I decided that I will confront him later so I can give him some space since he was not able to answer my questions / concerns.
So when evening came later on, he wasn't able to attend our class dinner which made the others questioned among themselves and even me.
I decided to contact him by calling him but didn't work.
So in the end, I sent him a text message regarding my concern for him :
"Shoto, I need to speak with you. Please, I'm worried about you"
But as expected, there was no reply so I sighed and decided to try again tomorrow morning and take him on a date since it's Sunday.
...
"I feel thirsty of a sudden..."
I woke up in the middle of the night since my mouth was dry all of a sudden.
I guess I should've drink something before bed like hot cocoa or a warm glass of milk.
Anyways, I got up from my bed in a half-asleep state and checked the clock.
"1...30. Oh, it's 1:30am", I said before yawning to myself, "So...*yawn*...early...I better go back to bed after I drink some fresh water".
I stretched and scratched my head before exiting the room and couldn't care less if I had bed hair.
I mean, there's no way someone will be awake in this hour, right?
I stepped outside the elevator after riding it and just when I was about to continue forward, I can hear someone - someone sniffing and sobbing quietly.
My mind went from different directions because I don't know if what I am hearing is a real person or....
I tried to shake those thoughts and calm myself down.
I should really take a break watching horror movies with Kirishima and Tokoyami.
'Calm thyself, (Y/N). Your mind is just blinded by scary scenes from horror films just to hold you back. Come on, you dealt with one of the League of Villains before. Pull yourself together!'
Damn, I sound like Kirishima just now by the end of my thoughts.
I gulped and prayed silently it's just one of my classmates at least and not a ghost.
I took a few steps forward by tip toeing and when I finally saw where the sobs and sniffs are coming from.
'S-Shoto?!'
Oh my goodness.
This isn't the first time he cried - since the last time he cried is when we made up after we fought for the first time - but then again, seeing him like that makes me desperate have him in my arms.
I rushed towards him and since he was sitting on the couch next to window that revealed the glistening from the moon, I decided to sit beside him.
"Hey, hey...!", I said with worry and shook one of his shoulders, "What happen to you, Shoto?!".
He sniffed and didn't want to look at me in the eye.
"(Y-Y/N)...", he started to speak but he bit his lip afterwards like he didn't want to continue speaking because he might start sobbing again.
I frowned and decided to cup his face so he can look at me.
"Shh, I'm here", I said and gasped on how red his eyes were, "O-Oh my gosh, how long were you in tears?".
Even though I cupped his face just so he can look at me, his eyes were still looking the other way.
"Please...", I said in a begging tone and caressed one of his cheeks, "Look at me. You don't know how worried I am for you. Not just me but Midoriya, Iida and the others too. So please...tell me what's wrong".
I gently kissed his lips and nuzzled my nose against his.
"You know, I get sad when you're like this"
I stopped talking just so I can wait for him to respond hopefully.
Then after like a ten seconds, his eyes started to focus on me now but his expression didn't change.
"I...I'm s-sorry", Todoroki started to speak and held both of my hands that are caressing his cheeks, "M-My mind is having it's up and downs two days ago because of this...one nightmare I had...".
I nodded and replied, "Okay, go on. I'm listening, my love".
His expression slightly changed when I call him by the nickname he always call me everyday and this made him a bit a better.
"You see, this nightmare of mine...you...you were in a relationship with someone else", Todoroki continued quietly, "That someone is much better than me. H-He's expressive than me, always giving joy to satisfy your happiness, a good kisser, and most of all, a good figure that you look up to because his quirk is much better than mine and his personality so way better".
I frowned and covered my mouth as I listened to his story but I continued listening.
"Just seeing that dream alone made me think lowly of myself. I had thoughts like, what if...that were to happen in the near future?", Todoroki continued and his expression started to turn blue again, "What if you left me for that...person? I mean, I think you would be...better off with...someone...like that...guy in my...d-dream...because...".
He started to sniff again and his eyes were slowly filling up with tears.
"B-Because...", he continued and tried to wipe away the tears, "Y-You're too good for me, (Y/N). You're beautiful, kind, a bundle of joy and a great person to be with. And then there's me...I don't really know if I'm really enough for you d-despite the flaws I h-have since in the first place...I'm Endeavor's son and...I really thought that no one would actually...be with me..."
He stopped his words there and started to sob which automatically made me wrap my arms around him for a warm and comforting embrace.
"D-D-Don't say that!", I said and started to cry too because of how vulnerable he looked just now, "P-Please don't!".
He hugged me back and I replied, "Why would I leave you for a guy like that? Besides, you're already enough for me!".
He became speechless after hearing my reply and I started to cup his face again.
"Shoto, you're an amazing person to be with", I reassured him and sniffed, "In fact, I'm super thankful to have you in my life. Didn't I say that before?".
He nodded while tears are flowing down his cheeks and just continued to listen while hugging me.
"Ironically, you're too good for me as well, haha", I said and laughed but still crying a bit, "I never thought I would be with someone like you-Oh wait, not just someone, but you!".
He slightly raised his brows and pointed at himself like he's questioning "Me?".
"Yes! I mean, you're the only one in this world! There's only one Shoto Todoroki!", I said with a bit of enthusiasm and gently wiped his tears with my fingertips, "You're the best boyfriend for me, Shoto. Stop putting yourself down with those negative thoughts. You're doing great and I mean that".
"(Y/N)...", Todoroki said in awe and his eyes started to water again.
He didn't hesitate to press his lips against mine which I automatically returned it while wrapping my arms around his neck.
"I love you, Shoto", I said and smiled brightly at him with tears, "You have no idea what it would be like if I didn't have you in my life, you know?".
I can see a blush spreading across his cheeks after I called him adorable and this made him hide his face against my shoulder.
"I l-love you too, (Y/N)", Todoroki said and sobbed softly once more, "I-I love you so much...*sniff*".
I quietly giggled at his response and suddenly, an idea popped in my head.
I cleared my throat and gently brushed his hair before I let out my melodic voice.
(This song was suggested also by the requester, SharaeBaker. You can listen to this while reading this portion of the story for a better experience)
"Laying alone with the history that made you
Cold and uncertain inside"
He lifted his own face up when he heard my voice and this made him calm him down a bit.
"How lovely, you're singing again", Todoroki said and a small shy smile started to form, "...what's the song?".
"Oh, it's called Lullaby", I replied and smiled back, "My dad used to sing this song for me when I was in third grade just to cheer me up. I had my ups and downs back in those days, haha".
"I see...", Todoroki said, "Too bad I can't relate".
My eyes widened after realizing what I just said and quickly kissed both of his cheeks a few times.
"I-I'm sorry! Man, I didn't mean to-"
"D-Don't be, it's okay", Todoroki said still with a stutter since he's still adjusting himself from all the sobbing and just smiled shyly at me, "Please continue. I want to listen your voice".
"Well careful now, deep breath
The water's still rising
But your silver linings inside"
I sang softly as my tears flowed down slowly and continued to brush his hair.
"When you
You feel like you're breaking down
And ya, your body's just giving in
And ya, you can't go on broken like this
Any longer"
I closed my eyes and cleared my throat again because I can feel my overwhelm-ness kicking in again.
"Close your eyes
Don't you cry
Let the sorrow within you subside
Don't despair
Have no fear
Give your way to me when you hear
This lullaby [Lullaby]"
I look at him and I nearly gasped when our eyes met and not to mention, his smile is starting to widen on his lips.
This made me smile back but brightly and I gently wiped one of his tears since its still continuously flowing down his cheeks before I decided to continue.
"You say all seems so wrong with the life that you're living
You're searching for some reason why
You're so scared to trust
You're feeling unworthy
Aching for comfort tonight"
I can feel his arms wrapping around my body and rested his head against me while watching me sing.
"When your heart's too sore to beat
And ya, you fear it might never heal
And ya, you feel not even beggers want you
I do"
I continued to sing softly for my sad dual-haired boyfriend and kissed the top of his forehead.
"You missed", he commented with a shy, small smile and looked at me.
Oh, Todoroki.
I leaned and pressed my lips against his once more - which is a passionate one - before I continued singing and brushing his hair.
"Close your eyes
Don't you cry
Let the sorrow within you subside
Don't despair
Have no fear
Give your way to me when you hear
This lullaby [Lullaby]"
He continued to enjoy listening but in a few seconds, he started to get a bit drowsy but he is trying his best to listen to me sing until the end.
"Close your eyes
Don't you cry"
I brushed his hair again and planted more comforting and warm kisses on top of his head.
"Close your eyes
Don't you cry
Let the sorrow within you subside
Don't despair
Have no fear
Give your way to me when you hear
This lullaby [Lullaby]"
I gently rocked him back and forth which he didn't mind since his body became relaxed.
"Don't you cry
Let the darkness within you feel alive
Don't despair
Have no fear
You'll find comfort in me like a child
This lullaby [Lullaby]"
I hummed after the final chorus and leaned my head against my dual-haired boyfriend lovingly before I quietly sang the last few lyrics.
"This lullaby [Lullaby]
Don't you cry
This lullaby [Lullaby]"
I smiled softly after singing and I noticed I can hear soft slumber sounds coming from him.
When I looked at him, he was already asleep while cuddling against me and I can still see his soft smile. Cute!
I wanted to squeal but since it's so late and I made him fall asleep which is thanks to my song so I decided to fangirl in my head instead.
Since I don't want to leave his side and I'm feeling a bit sleepy, I decided to sleep with him here in the common room.
I got myself comfortable by adjusting my sleeping position and gently kissed his lips before entering dream land while being enveloped in Todoroki's arms.
EXTENDED ENDING
"AWW, SO CUTE!!"
"Couple goals!"
"He's a lucky guy but you know, he deserves her"
"I agree"
"Dammit, why he so damn lucky?!"
"Aghh! Whyyy!"
I began to awaken from my peaceful slumber because of the nearby commotion and when I opened my eyes slightly, I can see one of our classmates fangirling and I can even see Ashido taking pictures of us using her phone like an actual fangirl of her favorite ship.
Wow, this is definitely a different way to wake up first thing in the morning.
"Guys! Don't disturb them!", Iida said as he came out of nowhere and warded them off with his chopping hand skills, "Give them space and bother them later!".
"Okayyyy....", they all said in the same time and sighed.
With that, all of them left us alone in the couch and this is me a chance to get up so I can stretch but -
"Where are you going, love?"
My heart raised when I heard Todoroki's monotonous and husky voice and I can feel my cheeks blushing.
I quickly turned around and finally get to see his awaken state.
"Y-You're awake!", I said and laughed shyly, "I thought you were still asleep".
"Well just a few seconds ago but here I am, wide awake just to see you, my love", Todoroki said and smiled shyly.
He leaned to kiss my lips over and over before he could hug me tight.
"I feel so much better now, thanks to you", Todoroki added and nuzzled his nose against mine, "...and can we stay like this?".
"E-Eh? I really want to but we here in the common room-"
"Please, for five more minutes?", Todoroki asked me in a somewhat begging tone, "I apologize if I'm being this needy right now. It's just...love being this close to you".
The blush on my face didn't seem to go away but it brighten instead because of the way he begged.
"Alright, since you're soft and cute right now", I said and gave in before smiling at him.
I could've sworn that I heard a 'yay' from him - if I heard it right I would've squealed - but he gave me a shower of kisses all over my face.
