todoroki's pov

there's nothing more that i hate than being held against my own free will. so far fuyumi hasn't allowed me to leave my room ever since they walked in on me self-harming, and i absolutely hate it.

"todo, you can come out now." i rolled my eyes and huffed as i walked out of my room, only to be faced with fuyumi and natsuo. natsuo just patted fuyumi's shoulder and said, "i'll get the car ready." i was confused on why he was starting the car in the first place.

"todoroki."

i looked up at my sister. "mom and i agreed you should attend a treatment facility, i have a friend there who will help you."

"wait," i said with a slight glare, "like a mental institution? i don't want to do that, fuyumi, and you can't force me to do so."

she looked at me in despair. "it's not a mental institution, it's a place for people to get better." she hugged me out of nowhere and i gradually felt my shoulder wetten by her tears. "we're doing this for you, todo. dad's abusive ways have taken a toll on all us, especially you since you're the youngest. please try to understand, it's for you're own good."

"no fuyumi, you don't understand," i said. "i don't want to go there, don't make me go there."

she patted my back weakly as i said, "you're just sending me away so you don't have to worry about me torturing myself." i looked at her sadly when she told me, "hurry up, go change, and pack your bag, we're going to go up there so-"

before she could even finish, i went into my room and slammed the door. once i heard footsteps walking away i walked into my closet, shove my clothes into my backpack, and come out. fuyumi and natsuo were waiting for me in the car, but as soon as they tried to talk i plug in my earphones and drown out their voices with stria rock music.

"you don't even realize how this will affect my hero training at u.a."

-

after about half an hour we pulled up to a fancy looking building. when i stepped out and approached it, i saw it had no fences surrounding it, and around the building was lush green plants. the building itself had various windows, and it all seemed to be in different shades of blue and white.

fuyumi placed her hand on my shoulder and pecked my cheek before we walked in. a lady standing in the center spotted us snd waved. she walked up to us and said, "oh, my favorite todoroki's," she said cheerfully to my siblings. she then turned to me and said, "and you're shoto todoroki, correct? my name is haruko, i'll be the one in charge of you and the other boys."

i looked at my fuyumi, who smiled slightly, and natsuo, who just frowned at me sadly. i sighed and opened my arms for a hug, which they immediately went in for. before they walked away, i whispered, "i'm sorry."

haruko gestured for me to follow her as we walked into a room, where two other boys sat in chairs. i took a seat in an empty one and watched as haruko left, saying, "let me go get the last of you four."

i sat there, not daring for a moment to look any of the two other boys in the eye.

"you know, we don't bite."

"huh?"

i looked at them bewildered, but the one who talked smiled. he had light blue hair and brown doe eyes, and i noticed he was small, both in an anorexic and in a general way. almost like a baby.

the other boy just waved without speaking. he had black, messy hair and thin purple eyes, with bags under them, as if he hadn't slept in ages. he looked short, but he was sitting down, so who could know for sure.

"alright, i'm back boys," we heard haruko say as she waltzed into the room. a boy followed behind her and my eyes widened. he was tiny, tinier than any of us. i heard one of them say, "i was so close to being that small." but that wasn't the only thing that shocked me. he had the same familiar brocoli hair and the same green eyes that darted around nervously.

midoriya.

haruko cleared her throat to get our attention. "let's get introductions out of the way so i can show you to your rooms." she pointed to the chair next to me and the boy went and sat down. she clapped her hands and said, "well, let's start with you, todoroki."

i sighed. "hi, my name is shoto todoroki, i guess i have somewhat of a depression."

the boy with the baby blue hair grinned slightly. "i'm naoki, i'm here for my depression as well, and anoreixa."

the thin violet eyed boy yawned and rubbed his eyes. "i'm akito."

finally, midoriya besided me said, "i-i'm izuku midoriya, i-uh i have anorexia with bulimic tendencies, i think.." he laughed nervously. "i mean i do, not that i think."

haruko nodded and stood up, gesturing for us to do the same. "well then, since there's only four of you, you'll be sharing rooms in pairs." she walked off into a hallways and stopped at two doors right across from each other.

"akito and naoki, you'll be sharing this one." they nodded and walked into the room before closing the door. "and finally, shoto and izuku." we nodded and walked into the room as haruko walked away.

i walked over to one of the two beds and set down my backpack, immediately i opened it and grabbed a shirt since the one i wore at the moment smelled a bit weird. since i felt like there was no problem doing so, i changed my shirt right then and there and out on the clean one. soon i noticed midoroya staring at me. he noticed that i noticed him and he went red and hid his face in one of the pillows of his bed.

"don't worry midoriya, it's just me."

he looked up slightly and nodded. "y-yeah. i can't believe you're here too.."

i smiled slightly. "yeah, my siblings thought this was for the best."

once i put all of my things away in their respective areas, i sat down on my bed just as someone knocked on the door. i stood up and opened it to reveal naoki. he waves and asks, "hi todoroki, midoriya, can i ask you a question?"

i raised an eyebrow. "you just did." he stood there dumbfounded before bursting into laughter. behind me midoriya let out a silent giggle. "no, i wanted to ask how you guys ended up here, in this treatment facility."

"oh," i said. he walked in and i shut the door. "well my sister, walked in on me self-harming, and since isn't the first time she's found me like that, i ended up here."

naoki nodded. "midoriya, how about you?"

he sat up and looked at me sadly. "well i went to a friend's party and panicked, so i went to the restroom and purged what i drank. i ended up passing out in the bathtub. next thing i knew i woke up in a hospital bed with my classmates, my mentor, and my mother, and now i'm here."

"mine was similar as that one," naoki said. "my grandma found me in the bathtub not breathing and blood on my lips." he then slipped out of the room and said, "i'll see you soon, i have to go interrogate akito for his story."

for a minute midoriya and i sat there in silence before i said, "is it just me, or does he resemble a baby?" midoriya's eyes widened as he eagerly responds, "i thought i was only one who noticed!" we both chuckled and look at each other before breaking out in smiles. then we start laughing again, but this time we don't stop.

we didn't even notice that haruko, naoki, and akito standing at the entrance of the door. "if you boys are done flirting," haruko spoke up, startling us, "let's head on over to dinner."

she left with naoki, akito, and me trailing behind. i looked behind my shoulder to see midoriya breathing rapidly. i took this as a panic attack and knelt down in front of him as haruko walked in and said, "midoriya, you don't have to eat, but you at least have to be with all of us."

midoriya nodded nervously before standing up and walking out. i frowned, noticing that he was swaying a bit.

once we were all seated down, our plates were set down in front of us. it was mostly vegetables so i dug in, while keeping an eye on midoriya. he gulped and stared at his plate, but ended up grabbing his glass of water.

i jumped when he slammed the glass on the table and began coughing voilently. haruko runs over to him just as blood starts coming out. "nurse!" haruko  yelled as a lady in white came running and helped midoriya stand up, but he immediately fell over and fainted.

i looked over at naoki, who had a look of distress, and akito, who eyed the blood and frowned. "midoriya!" i yelled, picking him bridal style and walking off with the nurse.

and suddenly, my food wasn't so appetizing after all.
