♡Chapter 23♡
Yaoyorozu P.O.V
My stomach felt like it was on fire with the pain I felt from it. I was so tired. I wanted to sleep more, but my wouldn't let it slip into unconsciousness again. I felt something soft under me, and a blanket over me.
After a few attempts of opening my eyes, I finally managed to open them. When I did, I saw the white ceiling above me. I turned my head to my left, only to see a window, to see it was dark outside and raining, the sound of it being very calming.
I then turned my head to the left, to see i was in some kind of medical ward, since there were seven more beds in the room, which weren't occupied.
I could see a large clock that was above the door of the room, that read 11 pm. So it wasn't to late, to me anyway. I leaned my into my pillow and closed my eyes, trying to sleep again, but found it impossible.
I felt so alone in this large room. I felt so cold.
I wonder where Shoto was? Would he be back in his room, or would he still be up?
A part of me told me to just stay where I was and to try and rest myself, while a different part of me told me to get up and find Shoto. I debated with myself for a few moments, before deciding.
I slowly sat up, even if the pain in my stomach was excruciating to deal with. I lifted the light blanket up and looked to the small table next to my bed, seeing a dressing gown on it.
I shivered at how cold it was. Just yesterday, it was warm.
I stood up slowly and grabbed the dressing gown and wrapping it around myself. Much warmer.
After that, I slipped on a pair of slippers and slowly walked over to the door, one of my arms wrapped around my stomach, hoping to ease the pain a little. I shuffled to the door and opened it quietly, and peered outside.
Luckily, there was no one wandering the hallways at this time. I looked both ways before stepping out into the hallway and shutting the door behind me.
I looked down both hallways, not recognising where I was. I was never down this hallway before. Who knew where I am in the castle now.
I decided to go left, since it felt right. I slowly walked down the large hallways for what felt like house until I came to a set of spiral stairs. I looked up them, and saw it was a long way up.
I don't know what I was thinking, but I decided to go up them, even if it was painful. The stairs where narrow and steep, and if I missed one of the narrow steps which were only like 5 inches, I would definitely fallen back down the stairs.
Once I got to the stop, I looked out into the small corridor, and saw I was on the bedroom level. How convenient.
Now knowing where I was, I walked down the right hallway and just as I guessed, the last two room at the end of the hallway was my room on the right, and Shoto's on the left.
I walked to his door, and was about to knock, but stopped myself.
Would he really want to see me at this time at night? Would he even be awake? Would I be disturbing him? He probably is sleeping, since today was exhausting.
However, a little voice in my head told me to give it a chance, even if a billion other voices told me not to. However, that small quiet voice convinced me, and I knocked lightly on the door.
I waited a few moments. Nothing.
I sighed. I guess he is asleep.
I turned to go back to the medical ward, when I heard the door open. I turned my head, to see that the bedroom door was opened to reveal Shoto standing there.
"Momo?" Shoto asked tiredly as he rubbed his eye's. "What are you doing here?".
"I'm so sorry for waking you, but I was so cold and lonely in the medical ward, and just wanted to spend the night with you, if that's okay?" I asked Shoto, averting my gaze towards the ground.
I didn't head him anything, until I saw his hand reaching out and grabbed mine softly. "Momo, you can stay with me anytime. You don't even have to ask to come in" Shoto told me. I realised that his right had was very cold to the touch.
I looked up to him and gave a smile.
"Thank you Shoto" I spoke quietly as we entered the bedroom. We walked over to the bed and sat down. I let out a pained gasp at the feeling in my stomach. "You okay?" Shoto asked me with concern, which I nodded to.
"Yeah I'm fine, it's just my stomach hurts a lot from the stab wound" I told Shoto as I turned to face him. I watched as a look of guilt swept over his face.
"It's my fault. I should have done something to prevent all of this, to prevent you from being stabbed in the first place" Todoroki spoke sadly, now being to one to avert his gaze.
I sighed.
"Shoto" I spoke softly as I reached over and grabbed his hands, noticing how his right hand was cold, while his left hand was warm. "You did nothing wrong. I was the one who ran off in the first place, and if it wasn't for you, I would have bled to death. You saved my life Shoto" I explained to him with a small smile.
Shoto looked up to me, and I continued.
"I am truly saddened that everything I have ever known is now gone. My Kingdom, my home, my father, but at least your still here" I told him. It's true. I truly have nothing now. No home, no family, nothing. The only thing I do have now is Shoto, for he is the only one who cares for me now.
"At least we have something in common. I watched my mother die in front of me, I had 3 older siblings I never knew about, and my father is out for blood. I don't have anything now, and I can no longer go home, but at least your here and I have one person who cares about me" Shoto spoke quietly, a small smile forming on his face.
"Well, how about we make a promise?" I suggested. Shoto raised a brow.
"Let's promise that we'll stay by each others side from now on, till our last breath" I told Shoto, who nodded. "I'll keep that promise for as long as I live, and I promise to stay by your side from here till the end of this battle we call life" Shoto added on, a determined look on his face.
"Alright. How will we seal this deal?" I asked Shoto, wanting to keep this promise. I watched as he thought for a moment, his face then becoming a hint of red.
"I had an idea, but it's stupid" Shoto spoke. "Oh tell me" I encouraged him, wanting to hear his suggestions. "H-how about with a kiss?" Shoto told me, looking away. I chuckled.
"Sure" was my simple reply, causing him to look up, causing him to blush a little more. "O-okay" Shoto spoke once again.
And with that, we both leaned in and had a short, but sweet kiss. I forgot how wonderful this feeling was. I remember back in the alleyway when I kissed Shoto for the first time. I thought he would push me away and think I'm crazy for doing it and for saying I loved him, but instead he returned the feelings, which was mind blowing for me.
It almost felt like a fairy tale.
I remember how joyful it was the first time. I remember when we pulled away, we were both so red, and embarrassed, and then just bursted out laughing moments later, breaking the tension.
After a moment, we pulled back, but this time, we weren't embarrassed, and if anything, it almost felt natural. We were quiet for a moment before I decided to break the silence.
"So I guess we should get some sleep, right?" I asked Shoto, who nodded. "Yeah, let's get some sleep, we're up early tomorrow" he replied as we got under the covers.
I sat laid down on the left side of him, and noticed how warm he was. Wanting to get a bit for warm, since I was very cold, a snuggled into his left side and enjoyed it. It was nice.
I closed my eyes and I quickly fell into a black darkness and fell asleep.
