Todoroki pov

"Todoroki! Nice of you to show up!" Denki moved so I could walk in the door.

I stepped into his house and most kids from my class were there talking in small groups. Some were gathered around the kitchen island, some sitting at the table, some on the couch.

Denki's house was small but very open and had plenty of windows. There was soft music playing and the house was lit dimly by fairy lights. As I looked around, I couldn't find Izuku, Iida, or Uraraka.

THOSE BITCHES!! They ditched me didn't they!

"King Todoroki has arrived!" Denki shouted and closed the door behind me.

The people in his house turned to me, some began to cheer, and others shouted to me and waved.

"Hey! Todoroki!" Kirishima waved to me from the couch. Bakugo was sitting next to him, but he remained still and only gave me a glance.

I waved back to everyone.

The screen door leading to the patio slid open. "God! Took you long enough to get here!" Uraraka said walking into the house.

She ran up to me and grabbed my arm, "Come on! We've been waiting for you to get here!"

"We?"

Iida walked into the house and Izuku followed him, closing the screen door.

"Hey, Todoroki!" Izuku said.

"Hey," I let out a relived breath as I felt myself lose tension in my entire body.

God, Izuku is able to untie a rope around my heart that I didn't even know was there.

"Okay!" Denki said grabbing my attention, "Food and cold drinks are over there, air hockey, foos ball, and pool tables are downstairs, bathroom is around that corner, you can play music you want over there, fire pit is outside, so have at it." Denki waved his hand around pointing to all the things he mentioned.

In his hand was a red solo cup.

What!?

There's no way he's drinking that, "Dude! You're underage!"

"Chill out," Denki sips his drink, "it's strawberry milk," He leans into me and lowers his voice to a whisper, "But I mean, if you want anything..."

"I'm fine!" I said putting my hands up.

"Okay, well, I'll leave you guys too it," Denki steps away to the couch to chat to Kirishima

Uraraka gripped and tugged at my arm, "Lets hit up the kitchen first."

Well, I'm always a slut for cheese puffs

..........................

We had all gathered around the kitchen island which had a horde of bowls filling the counter space all filled with different types of salty snacks. We started talking and the topic of the resent project that Izuku and I worked on came up.

"Anyway, so that's when I turn around and accidentally delete the entire document."

"Todoroki!" Uraraka and Iida said in unison. They both started laughing.

As they did, I looked to Izuku, who was across the island from me. He was smiling to Uraraka and Iida as they laughed about the story of the night I slept over.

He was wearing a bright smile as he laughed with the group. And his eyes matched that same radiance.

Deep within me I felt a pressure that was building as I lost myself in the moment and kept my eyes fixed on Izuku.

My skin started burning up, my face at first, but soon my entire torso felt warmer.

Izukus laughing slowed and his head turned towards me and our eyes locked.

SHIT!!! HE TOTALLY CAUGHT ME STARING!

His expression became soft as he looked to me.

His eyes darted around my face and upper torso before he looked back to my eyes and turned his slightly parted mouth into a smile while still looking to me.

...

THAT WAS SO FUCKING CUTE WHAT THE FUCK

I was barely able to take in a shaky breath. My blood raced through my veins and I could feel my thinking get fuzzy.

Calm down Todo, you don't wanna pop one in public.

"Wait! So what'd you do?" Uraraka asked.

Izuku looked from me to Uraraka who had asked the question, thus breaking our contact.

"Huh?" I asked Uraraka. I completely forget what we were taking about.

"After you deleted the document?" Iida filled me in.

"Oh!" I say, "Well, I was totally freaking out."

Izuku cuts me off, "Yeah!" I look to Izuku with interest.

"You were kind of panicking," he continued, "But I couldn't have been mad, because it was really cute."

...

Cute

He called me cute

HOLY SHIT! IZUKU CALLED ME CUTE!!!

God, how does this make me so happy?

I felt explosions inside me, palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.

I glance to Uraraka and her jaw was dropped, but she was beaming with joy.

Iida was calmly eating chips as if nothing had happened.

"Wh- really?" I ask Izuku with an excitement that I hadn't had before.

I looked to him as realization struck about what he had just said. With his lips slightly parted and his eyes wide and pointed in a direction away from mine, his cheeks became a light cherry color.

Izuku gathers himself and begins to attempt an explanation, "Oh, umm.."

"Yeah!!!!!" Loud cheering came from the other end of the room where the living space was.

They were playing darts.

"Nice Bakugo! That's four straight wins," Kirishima said whilst patting his shoulder in a congratulatory way.

Bakugo remained silent, but had a smirk on his face and was in a stance that was too good for him.

"Alright, you beat me at my own game," Jiro said while putting her hands up in defeat.

"Who wants to play him next?" Denki asked.

The room was silent except from the music.

"Come on, no takers?" Bakugo looked around the house until his sight landed upon Izuku, Uraraka, Iida and me.

His smirk got bigger and he raised his eyebrows, almost like he was daring me to play him.

Like hell I'm gonna play against Bakugo.

"Todoroki will play you!" Uraraka shouted.

WHAT??

I whip my head to Uraraka, "What are you doing?"

My question was drowned out by cheers from the party goers

"Alright Todoroki!" Kirishima cheered as he stood from his seat and waved me over.

I can't do this

I turn to Uraraka, "I can't do this."

She got close to me to whisper.

"Dude, yes you can. Just think about it, beating Izukus childhood bully," she whispered to me and guided me out of the kitchen area.

"You think about it," I say, "I've never played darts before in my life." Uraraka pushes me forward until I'm in the middle of the party.

I look around and everyone who was invited gathered around.

"I'm still thinking Bakugos gonna win."

"No, I think Todorokis got a chance!"

I turn looking at everyone as they take their seats by the dart board area. Some people stayed standing by the dart board to help retrieve the darts.

Don't panic, you're fine. You literally go against murders everyday, you got this Todoroki.

Izuku, Uraraka and Iida made their way over and were sitting on an open space left in the coach.

I face Bakugo.

Bakugo cocks his head towards me, "You're going down, Todoroki." As he finishes his sentence, he gets the same wide smirk.

Ehhh, that smirk belongs to the devil.

The anticipation grew in the room and everyone was mentally placing their bets on who would win as if the outcome isn't already obvious.

*Gulp* I guess I'm doing this.

...............

The game has been underway for a while, but is just now starting to heat up. Bakugo and I are basically neck and neck.

I guess I'm a natural talent or something.

Currently it's my turn, and I'm behind by a small gap. I pick up the dart to throw it.

Okay, focus. Arm back and..

"Bullseye!"

"Nice Todoroki!"

FUCK YES!!

"Good job, Todoroki!" Izuku says aloud to me.

I turn and see him sitting between Uraraka and Iida.

His smile reassured me.

You better appreciate this, because I'm doing it for you.

"Alright Bakugo! You're up!" Sero says.

Bakugo takes his dark from Sero.

"Hey, Kirishima," Bakugo calls out.

"Oh, um, yeah?" Kirishima answers as he leans up from the wall that he propped himself up against.

"Put your hand on the board, so that bullseye is between your middle and ring fingers."

I look to Bakugo.

There's no way, that's too dangerous.

"WHAT?"

"BAKUGO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"

"HE'LL GET HURT!"

The class all started to shout, but  Kirishima listened to Bakugo.

You poor soul, just say no!

I gotta say something, "Dude, you don't have to do this."

"Nah it's fine," Kirishima says smiling, "I trust him."

"Right there is good," Bakugo lined up his shot and let it fly.

Oh, god, I can't look.

I cover my eyes

I heard the dart make contact with the board and cheers from everyone.

No, there's no way.

"HE DID IT!!"

"ALRIGHT BAKUGO!!"

"YOU HAD ME SO SCARED!"

I peak a look at the board, and sure enough, right between Kirishima fingers, was the dart.

Fuck, I gotta step up my game.

The applause died down, and Bakugo turned around and shot me another death smirk sending chills down me.

Don't mind him! Just focus! Let's see, I gotta think.

I step forward, "Ha, whatever!"

What am I doing

"I can top that..."

No I can't

"I'll take this dart..."

Maybe I should just quit

"And get a bullseye..."

No ones is gonna blame me if I quit

"With my eyes covered..."

I bring up my free hand and cover my eyes.

Well, no backing out now.

"Todoroki, wait-"

I throw the dart and hope for the best.

Please just be a bullseye.

*CLING~*

*CRASH!*

*GASP*

A horrified gasp for air came from everyone in the room, the music was cut, and everything fell silent.

...

"Did I break something?" I said

I got no response

I uncovered my eyes and a few feet in front of me was a vase broken into a million pieces on the floor.

Ooooooh, shit...

This is bad, this is really bad.

I look around and everyone had their eyes glued to the shattered vase on the floor.

Man, this sucks. It was such a pretty vase too. And what's that inside it? dirt or something?

Denki walks in the with the pizzas that were just delivered, "Hey guys, is everything okay?"

He stops in his tracks when he sees the shattered vase, "NO!"

He drops the pizzas and runs over the the broken pieces on the floor.

"GRANDMA!!!" Denki screams as he clutches the dirt from the vase in his hands

My jaw hit the floor.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

This is so much worse then what I thought.

I look around and everyone has the same gut wrenching feeling displayed on their face as we all stared at Denki.

I look at Izuku, he was now standing as he tried to get a better look at what happened. His hands covered his month and his eyes were riddled with worry.

"Who did it," Denki says before he sniffles, "Who did this?"

Everyone in the room slowly turned their heads towards me.

FUCKING NARKS! Help a brother out!

Denki followed their lines of sight until he locked eyes with me.

"You," Denki says gathering himself, "Why?"

Ah, gees.

I walk to Denki and leaned down to him. I put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Listen Denki... I am a man of honor, and integrity. And when I'm at fault, I will step up and take responsibility for my actions...." I pause.

Denki looked to me with tears brimming in his eyes.

"BUT URARAKA MADE ME!" I whip my arm and point to her.

"WHAT!" She says

She gets up and storms over to me.

Grabbing my collar she pulls me to her face, "YOU LITTLE BACK STABBING, TWO TIMING, DUEL QUIRK WELDING JACKASS! I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!!!"

"Hey! Listen here," I put my hands up, "I'm not the one who volunteered myself to play darts!"

...........

"Don't worry Denki," Uraraka says.

"Yeah! I think It looks great!" I say with as much enthusiasm as I can muster.

Denki whimpers, "I don't know, you guys...it just doesn't look the same..."

He barely finishes his sentence before the water works start going again.

Man, he must of been really close to his grandmother for him to be this upset.

And I can't imagine what he feels like now, seeing his grandmothers ashes in a plastic ziplock bag on the mantel.

As Uraraka was comforting him, I mange to sneak away. In Denki's House, there is a small room with hung up art and a couch and I decided that was the best place to hide from him for a little. The room was empty when I walked in.

Score!

I sat on the couch and tried to not freak out about how I maybe, might, burn in hell for what I just did to Denki.

"Todoroki?"

"Hm?" I look to see who was walking in the room, "Oh, hey, Midoriya."

Izuku walks to the couch, "Are you okay?"

"Oh! Yeah, I'm fine, but my hand has been shaking like this for a good 30 minuets now," I bring up my hand and show him.

He smiles and try's to hold back a laugh, "Don't worry about it, Denki is forgiving."

As he smiles I feel myself become calmer and stop shaking.

I look around the room again and the cost is clear, no one is on their way in to the room.

I look back at Izuku and he looks lost in thought as he is looking around the room.

I should do it.

I should confess.

I mean, all the signs are pointing to yes. What he said earlier, how he came here to comfort me, he could very well not reject me.

Heck, he might even like me back.

....

Or he could only see me as a friend and my confession would ruin our current relationship.

He was being quite to me earlier at the school, but I really don't know what that was about.

Is it worth the risk?

I open my mouth to speak, but nothing comes out. I press my lips together and look away.

Dammit

I couldn't muster the courage.

"Hmm," Izuku grabs my attention.

I bring my head up to look at him.

"Were you gonna say something?"

Haha, well, "I -"

"DEKU!! TODOROKI!!" Uraraka leaned through the door frame of the door.

"What?" Izuku asks.

"Get in the kitchen now!"

"Why?"

"Because!" Uraraka urges, "We're gonna play 7 minuets in heaven!"

...
