WARNING! The following contains a sentence that may be offensive to some readers. It says: "Boys cannot like other boys." That is obviously not true but it is what Todoroki's father told him in this story.
Todoroki's POV
We had just finished voting on a movie and we decided to go with the first Harry Potter movie. I personally had never read or seen Harry Potter so it was new to me.
We all sat down with blankets, pillows, candy, and popcorn when there was a loud knock at the door. "Who could that be?" I heard Uraraka say as she stood up.
"We weren't expecting anybody..." There was a loud knock again and Bakugo burst through the door with Kirishima right behind him. "I heard you were having a party and decided to join! You're welcome!" He said in a snarky voice.
I heard Midoriya groan and when I looked over I saw he had hid his face. "Umm, okay then. Just please try to be nice?" Uraraka gave in.
Third Person
Everybody had settled in and they began the movie. It didn't take long for Izuku to fall asleep and as soon as he did everybody started teasing Todoroki and asking him questions.
"So... you fancy Deku here?" Katsuki looked at Shoto judgingly after listening to everybody else. He caught on quickly but Kirishima didn't. The heterochromatic boy shot him a glare but said nothing, instead he stood up and left.
Todoroki's POV
I felt the cuts on my wrist begin to bleed again as everybody began to tease me. It was painful and I needed new bandages. My vision was getting blurry from blood loss and I stood up and headed to the bathroom.
This hurts... the whole room is spinning and my mind is foggy. I don't even know what Bakugo said. Probably something snarky. I don't want to face anybody or talk to anybody for awhile. I need to forget my crush and move on for the sake of my friendship with Midoriya.
My mind was racing and I took off the old bandages. The cuts were deeper than he realized and they stung. Tears formed in his eyes but he held them back. "Boys don't cry!" His father yelled as he hit Shoto.
Uraraka's POV
He's been in the bathroom for awhile... Is he okay? Maybe he couldn't handle everybody teasing him and he wanted to be alone? Todoroki came out a few minutes later and picked up his bag.
As he began to leave he said something in a harsh tone. "Midoriya is only my friend, nothing more. Boys cannot like other boys." He turned and left just like that.
Third Person
Todoroki ignored Midoriya and all of his friends for the next few weeks. Every time Izuku would go up and try to talk to him he would turn and walk away.
It was all he could do to forget his crush and it was working a bit. Shoto seemed to have forgotten but it was still there hidden away. The days passed and Todoroki worked for his father.
Todoroki's POV
His father took him to the city saying they had important work to do. There were fires everywhere and strange creatures like the one he had fought attacked. He was following his father when he got a text.
It was from Midoriya but it only was his location. He had ignored every other text from him but this one seemed different. He left his father and ran towards the location after telling his father to send help. Something is probably wrong...
Third Person
Stain was able to get some of Deku's blood and he licked it making him unable to move. Native, Tenya, and Izuku were now all paralyzed and it seemed hopeless. The Hero Killer got ready to kill Iida and Native when he was hit by powerful flames. Midoriya looked up to see Todoroki standing there using his left side in battle.
"Next time send more information when you call for help." Shoto began, "I was almost too late." He made a path of ice hoping to trap Stain but he dodged quickly. So Todoroki used the ice to move Native, Izuku, and Iida safely away.
"Don't let him get your blood! That's how he uses his quirk!" Midoriya called out, "That's why we can't move." Shoto nodded and looked at Izuku for a moment. In the spilt second he was hit with a blade. It created a gash underneath his eye that stung but he ignored the pain and continued to fight.
Stain lunged at Todoroki with a bigger knife but Shoto stopped him by creating a huge pillar of ice to protect himself. He realised it was a distraction but was almost too late, Stain grabbed Todoroki and tried to take some of the blood on his cheek. He lit hit left side on fire and got away from him just in time.
"This isn't your fight!" Iida told Todoroki, "This is my fight, I carry the name Ingenium, therefore this fight belongs to me."
The fight continued for a while longer with Todoroki shooting his ice and fire and Stain throwing knives. The Hero Killer mangaged to create a huge wound on his left forearm causing Shoto to stop attacking.
Stain went over to Native and lifted his knife to kill him. He was met with a now free Izuku who attacked him and stopped him from killing the Pro Hero. The others were still paralysed and they realised the effectiveness of the Stain's quirk depended on your blood type.
"We should just hold until the Pros arrive." Shoto said to Midoriya still not taking his eyes off of Stain. "No, you've already lost too much blood. I'll distract him and you stay back here and support my attacks."
Deku countered. Todoroki was bleeding from his left arm and his cheek still but he agreed. "Two on one, huh? This fight won't be as easy." Stain remarked.
The fight went on for awhile but it was soon ended when Tenya, Midoriya, and Todoroki work together. Izuku's arm was fractured and his leg injured in the process though. Shoto created an ice slide to stop his friends from getting even more hurt when they landed.
Todoroki's POV
My new wounds kept my mind off of the cuts on my wrist and Midoriya though they were still painful. The fight seemed to go on forever but when it was over I was relieved. Just then a flying Nomu came out of nowhere and took Izuku. It's blood landed on a hero and Stain jumped into action. He licked the blood and caused the Nomu to fall. He had saved Midoriya.
Time Skip, Third Person
Todoroki, Tenya, and Midoriya sat in the hospital. Shoto had refused anybody to touch the bandages on his wrists in fear that they would find out what he did. The chief police had come in a few minutes ago and Todoroki was feeling bitter.
They waited for awhile just talking although the heterochromatic boy would not talk to Deku even though Izuku had tried to talk to him. "Come on! Why won't you answer me? Did I do something wrong?" His voice was sad and hurt. Todoroki looked at him and turned away. After some time Iida left for his home and it was just them.
"Please talk? I can't stand waiting here in silence!" He seemed to have forgotten about Todoroki's crush and Shoto wanted to make sure the feelings never came back. "Don't you understand anything!?" Todoroki snapped, "I do NOT want to talk to you!"
Tears welled up in Izuku's eyes. "I-I'm sorry." He managed to get out as tears rolled down his cheeks, "I should've taken the hint... you don't want to be my friend, I get it."
Todoroki's POV
I realised what I had said and immediately felt bad. Dammit, that was too harsh. "No, I want to be your friend, only your friend. I shouldn't have been so mean."
I stood up and walked over to him and sat down next to him. "I'm sorry for ignoring you instead of just talking with you. Friends?" He looked up at me with his green eyes and nodded.
Midoriya's POV
Ochaco burst through the door and ran over to where me and Todoroki sat. "I'm so, so, so sorry I haven't visited more! I've been super busy with my internship." She gave me a big huge and I could feel my face turn bright red.
"Y-yeah, it's okay! I-I understand!" I stuttered. Todoroki gave a small sigh but I didn't notice. "See y-you in school tomorrow?" She pulled away and looked at Shoto who was looking up and the ceiling.
"Hmm? Oh right! See you then!" She made finger guns then turned and ran out in her normal energetic way.
