A/N: For some reason, this appeared as a draft so the update doesnt matter.

Mr. Nezu made an announcement two days after Ochako's funeral. 

"I know we are all dealing with a horrible passing right now. But I've decided that everyone will be sent home to be with their families for the next two weeks. We can all get through this together, just please. Stay safe. Don't be foolish." 

Everyone agreed with his decision. 

- 

Todoroki walks into his house, taking his shoes off at the door. Fuyumi quickly walks up, and gives her brother a tight embrace. 

"Shoto, I heard about the incident! I'm so sorry, you must be so depressed." Fuyumi takes him by the hand and drags him further inside the complex. "Father won't be here during the first week, so it'll be quiet and you won't be irritated for awhile."

"That's good," Todoroki said, voice peppy. "Although I'm feeling so good, I think I could've taken his bullshit." 

Fuyumi stops her movement and looks at her brother suspiciously. "Shoto... what did you do?" 

Todoroki looks at her, a smile breaking out on her face. "Let's just say Ururaka and this season has something in common. They both fall." 

Fuyumi darts her eyes across his features, before she connects the dots. 

"Oh no you didn't."

"Oh yes I did."  

Fuyumi brings Todoroki to the kitchen island, and that is where Todoroki explains what he did. 

"Shoto, we've.." Fuyumi sighs desperately. "We've talked about this." Todoroki's shoulders droop. 

"C'mon sis, you're throwing off my groove." Todoroki grasp one of his sister's hands. "I know what you're really upset about. I didn't leave any evidence. The police think she dies on her own terms. It's a closed case. No one suspects me." 

'No one suspected Mom, and look what happened to her,' Fuyumi wants to say, but it wasn't her nature to say it. But Todoroki knows what she's thinking. 

"Trust me. Even if I get find out, our father has the best lawyers. I'll be fine."  Fuyumi looks in his eyes, searching, but all she sees is cold blue and traumatized gray. She has the same grey also. 

"... Is this boy worth it?" Todoroki doesn't hesitate in his answer. 

"Midoriya Izuku is the most precious boy on earth, and he makes me so happy, and I deserve to be happy, right?" There's a little desperation at the end of that sentence, though his eyes shine bright at the thought of Midoriya hearing him talk highly of him. 

"Yes, you do, Shoto," Fuyumi smiles. Her boyfriend, a local teacher who's been reported as kidnapped five months ago rouses from sleep and comes up to Fuyumi, giving her a kiss. She smiles wide, her blush spreading as she accepts it. 

Todoroki eyes him, before a smirk appears on his face. 

"Stockholm's Syndrome, huh?" The teacher looks at her brother in mirth. 

"What? Mom's in my blood too."

-

Inko places her hands on her face, sobbing silently into them. Midoriya drops his fork instantly, going up to her. Inko 's sudden outburst was because Midoriya told him about the supposed suicide. She would be so depressed if one of her friends died. Or her son. Or Yagi Toshinori. 

"Mom? Why are you crying..." He runs his hand soothingly on her back. 

"I-it's just- I feel so guilty Izuku!" She wipes her eyes. 

"You had nothing to do with it," He assures her, though she knows she didn't. 

"I-i know that! I don't know why I'm so sympathetic..."

"Trust me, it's a good quality. That's why people love you so much," Midoriya teases, but in truth if anyone touched his mother beside him or Toshinori, dubbed All Might, her boyfriend, they'd die at his hands. 

His love for his mother was as strong as his love for Todoroki. But the relationship he wants with Todoroki would be way more sensual. Lustful, even. 

His mother's voice snapped him out his thoughts. "Izuku... did you take your medication?" 

Midoriya shrugs. "Not in three days, y'know, because of everything that happened."

"Are you... responsible for this girl's death?" Midoriya gasps mockingly at the accusation. Sure, if he had the chance to do her in, this would be something he would do. But he didn't do it. (He was actually busy jacking himself off to the thought of Todoroki, and fell asleep right after.)

"No! Actually, I don't even think she took her own life." Midoriya places a finger to his chin. "She didn't show any signs of depression. She wore short clothing (Midoriya shudders here, she sometimes wore revealing clothing to get Midoriya to notice), she didn't cut her hair, though it was singed at the crime scene, didn't give out personal belongings- though she had a note in her pocket. Maybe that was her suicide note? I'm guessing this wasn't planned or-" 

"Izuku, please..." Inko sighs, exasperated. "I-i.. really want you to have a good life and all types of shit drags us down and I don't want this illness to be one of them." 

Midoriya hugs her, face in her green hair, white hair starting to form along the scalp. Is it because of stress or just getting older...? 

"I'm gonna graduate soon, Mom. I'm growing up and I'm gonna be more independent. Besides, you also have a life to live. Call up Yagi-san. You need to destress, so propose a date. Maybe a week at his home, but please." Inko blushes at the thought of being with Toshinori. 

"B-but-" Midoriya blocks her with a wave of his hand. 

"I'm going to quickly finish my food, give you a massage or just braid your hair back- whatever you want, and you'll go to bed and get some rest while I wash dishes, 'k?" Midoriya gets a sheepish nod, and fills his promise. 

After he finishes the dishes, he checks in on his mother, seeing that she already fell asleep. Phone in her hand, contact still on Toshinori's. Midoriya smiles, sliding the phone carefully out her hand and putting it on the charger. 

He walks to his own room, and thoughts started to protrude into his mind. 'Mom deserves Yagi-san (oh god, he still blushes calling All Might that). After all, dad wasn't really good at being a dad.'

He reaches his room. In a fit of rush, he opens his drawer, quickly searches underneath his countless Hero Textbooks (which were actually ways of ending the lives of all of his classmates except Todoroki, of course). 

'You don't know how much, father, I want to stab you with the ironic cross you wear around your neck,' Midoriya finds what he's looking for. 'But I guess you helped with my method of madness.'

Sneak Peak of Chapter 5

Todoroki looks around Midoriya's room, taking in the All Might merch, photos of family, and weights. Todoroki tries to pick up one, and has to groan in order to lift it off the ground. Midoriya laughs behind him.

"Lift with your legs, not your back," Midoriya reminds him, taking the weight from him with ease. Todoroki sighs, before flexing a muscled arm.

"I need to work out more."

"You don't need to, Todoroki. I use it to build up strength, my quirk requires it. You look great as you are now!"

".. Thanks, I do a lot of stretching exercises."

".. You mean Yoga?" Todoroki fumbles with his fingers.

"Yeah. It really helps me calm my nerves." Midoriya frowns for a bit, understanding. Living in a house with the Flickery Bitch of the West would cause some stress.

"... I'm guessing you're also pretty flexible." Midoriya slowly says. Todoroki pauses, before nodding, looking into his eyes.

"Would you like me to teach you some?" Midoriya's eyes widen, before nodding slowly. Todoroki smiles, before getting to the floor.
