(A/N): A vent story and to my friend, I'm sorry

Silence, that's there is within a home that is used to fill the rooms with liveliness. All of it has vanished when you found out your best friend dated Toshinori. Your heart dropped, and every inch of your body felt sickening. You couldn't look at the blonde the same way nor your friend. You had to leave having no family in Japan and so you did. You asked for time, reluctantly he agreed but found it ridiculous that you would be so far away from him. There was no other option, he loves you and would do anything for you. You've both been through so much. A wild rollercoaster and all of it was angsty but in the end, you would always come to him and he would always return. You are his home and you have left the building unknowingly of what you were thinking.

To say he was sad was an understatement. He was devastated. He would read older messages, hold the pillow you last lied on, and inhale your scent. It was the only way to soothe his heartache and the million thoughts running through his head. What are your thoughts? Are you well? Have you seen the latest episode of their shared show on Netflix? What did you eat today? What have you done without him? All of these questions unanswered and your silence felt more like a break-up. If so, just tell him, end it like you promised a thousand times instead of keeping him in the dark. He didn't like being so helpless. It's infuriating. It's the worst feeling in the world to have heartache and unable to do anything to soothe it except allow time to heal. He rarely sleeps and it's as though he is turning into Aizawa. Constantly drained for a nap, everyone speaking to him sounds incoherent.

Poor Midoriya struggles to obtain his attention. His lessons are short with no spirit from the blonde. A façade hiding the pain behind his mask. It was evident to the freckled boy that he was troubled. He would ask and every time he assures the kid he's fine. Metaling into someone's business was like using a prying wrench to lift a boulder. Toshinori just wouldn't budge.

At the same time, you weep in silence over the fact that two of the closest people dated. What was so wrong? You stole Toshinori's heart away from her. You weren't the type to ever step in between and steal anybody. If someone wanted a person you would gladly hand them over for their happiness. If the man loved you while they were dating, of course, you would shut them down and tell your friend of his attempts. You are not a drama person. You avoid it like the plague. All you want is simplicity, and somehow you find out a travesty. Your good friend assured you that she wasn't upset and that it was all great, but not to you. When you love, you love hard with all that you have and expect the person to be someone no one you knew has dated. He was new in your eyes and yours until recently. It turns out, Toshinori dated Hunter for three months. They were lovey dovely until you stepped into the picture when she introduced you to the hero.

In your three years of knowing Toshi, he's never been one to jump from person to person and would be leveled with the one he cares about. Something about you swept him away. You were a social butterfly, full of life just as he is. You would sacrifice anything for the sake of those around you and try to find the good in everyone. A gem much like Midoriya. Though you had a temper, he found it quite adorable. A memento of Hunter. You were, however, passionate and driven. You ran ahead of others and defeated their problems with an iron fist. All of the qualities complimenting his traits.

In fairness, the relationship wasn't going too well. Hunter was similar to you, except there was a lack of common interests. The conversation would start and end shortly as if there was nothing else to continue. You on the one hand were quirky and would disappear for a few seconds and appear with spontaneous activities. No matter the time, it was always active with you. Whether it was dancing, cleaning, or bedroom activities, you were a bouncing ball of fun. You made him feel so young and every term that meant old, you would change it into an endearing nickname he learns to adore.

As you wipe your tears away, the heartthrobs with an intense ache in both longing for your lover and the memories once shared. You miss his scent and warmth the way he broke your walls and showed you how to genuinely smile. How hopes and dreams can come true even when all odds are against you. He pushed you through all the terrible demons hiding in you with a few words and his touch. Everything that makes Toshinori makes you want to forget your overreaction and run into his arms. One reason for fleeing is to critically assess everything and decided on staying with him even after finding out about such an important detail. It was the past and it didn't matter, but everything else? Should you stay? In a matter of a few weeks, he will pop the question. You saw the box in his dresser and inside is a beautiful, diamond ring made of your birthstone with the band into a double vine.

You pick up the phone and read a message sent to you forty-five minutes ago.

Toshi: I hope you have a good night, and remember, I love you, honey

You bite your lip as your puffy eyes reread the message and the ones prior. He is so sweet to you regardless of what you are going through. Reminding you how much he cares and how real his feelings are for you. You wanted to run back to him. You want to be part of his life, but in the back of your head, knowing he was once someone else's that you know, will be nagging you and somehow your feelings overcame the issue. "I love you too." You whispered and held the phone close to your chest. You've made a decision and tomorrow will be your last day in America. It's been way too long.

Sometime on Sunday night, you arrived home around midnight. You sat down in the entrance hall and began removing your shoes. The lights flick with tired Toshi. He grew shocked to see your familiar figure. "(Y/n)?" He queried. "You're back?" You gave no response as you continue to remove your shoes and moving on to your jacket. You were searching for what to say. "Welcome home, I was worried about you. I hope you at least had a good time with your family." His smile so sad and the way he continued to ramble only made you feel like a jerk. "I'll make us some tea, or do you want to go to bed? I can sleep in the guest room and-" You clench your fist growing painfully tired for being cruel. You march up to the blonde and cup his face and kiss him long and hard. His blue eyes widen, shutting him up. Your plush lips sending a shiver down his spine. his long arms gladly embrace you. His heart set aflame with the sparks lighting up like fireworks. You pull away to catch your breath and hide against his neck.

"I love you, Toshinori and you don't have to apologize for anything. I overreacted over a petty past that happened between you and Hunter. I get so possessive that I want you all to myself. I want no one else that I know have you. It hurts a little, I cringe knowing I took you away from a previous relationship." You started. "Sweetheart..." He cooed. "...that was so long ago. Hunter and I are merely friends. We both want you to be happy and are okay with what happened. We talked about it before we broke up. It's not like I lied. She understood and felt the same way. Our relationship wasn't working out. We were too different. You make me feel twenty years younger every day and I believe it too." He chuckled nuzzling into your hair. "Every day with you is an adventure, I never know what you're planning." Your shoulders drop as you finally raise your head. "Do you mean it?"

"Of course I do. Making you mine was the best decision I made. I feel free and happy." His thumb rubs the bags under your eyes. "Have you been miserable without me, honey?" You shyly nod. "I missed you so much. You did the same too." Your thumb rubs his. "I was a wreck. I didn't think it could be possible, but I missed you as well. You have a hold on me, baby." Toshi presses his forehead against yours soothing his every insecurity. "I love you, (Y/n)."

"I love you too. I want to marry you." You uttered. The blonde steps back and looks at you befuddled. "How did you-"

"I saw the box in your dresser. I shouldn't have, but I'm glad I did. I'm not one to make decisions so quickly if you ask me. That's why I left. I needed to reflect on everything and decide if I truly wanted to be with you forever. I wasn't going to leave you for something small, but if I stayed you would pop the question and I had to decide my partnership with you." He frowns hearing the truth. "There was much at stake than I assumed." He saddened. "Yeah...I'm sorry." You cup his face. "It's ok though. I made my decision. I want to love you permanently, for as long as I have you." His smile returns as he nuzzles into your palms. "Let's get married. Let's go tomorrow and make it official. I don't ever want to upset you ever again. I despised how much I missed you and being lost without you. I didn't know what to do." It's your turn to comfort the male. You embrace him and rub his back. "I'm so sorry. I'm here now and I'll heal your heart, babe."

His scent, his warmth felt natural and comforting that you knew without a doubt you are home. Toshinori is your world and he is the one that makes you happy. He was the one and you are lucky to have hi
