Ch. 12 It Started With A Call
3548 words! So to start you off, there is slightly suggestive themes in here! They start and end at the 🔥❄ emojis. So if you want to skip you can! Thank you!
Now, guys I apologize I'll need to take another break, and I might not even be able to read on wattpad for a while either(which will kill me). My mom ended the internet early here and while trying to get my brother a phone card set up(the cheap one with only 3 GB of data) some bullshit happened and, I ended up with that crap. Plus typing up full chapters on a phone takes me ages so either way I was screwed till I found out I might not even have enough data to type period. So you will have to give me time. I'm so sorry! I'm trying, I really am.

Shoto's POV
Looping around the track again, upset that they wanted us running-without quirks- for warm up and training, I growled a prominent scowl on my lips. My lungs burned some from the lack of air as I made it my goal to stay ahead of everyone. I peeked from the corner of my eye to see Bakugo closing in through the flying locks of white that topped the right of my body. Taking in a quick breath of air to fulfill the lack of it, I kicked off the ground at the corner, gaining a bit of speed, yet losing all the air in a matter of seconds. I stumbled as ringing came from my pocket. Quickly halting my movements as gracefully as I could, I grabbed out the device warning a glare from Aizawa as I peeked at the name. (Y/n)? What does she need? I quickly answered the phone, holding it up to my ear, still doubled over gaining air as my body craved it.
“Uhhhh….” Her small voice trailed through the phone and I weakly made my way off the track. “Did I...interrupt you?” I couldn't stop my body from stiffening at how scared she sounded. My heart pounded and my breathing was slowly coming back in small intervals.
“N..No…” I breathed out. “I’m in class warm up right now.” But what's wrong?
“I’m sorry! I’m just…” Her voice faded at the end and her scared voice had morphed to one of worry. Even though she did, my body, now full of air, craved more of her voice, hopefully less concerned.
“Are you okay?” I asked, grabbing my bottle and taking a drink to help, All Might raised his brow as he stepped closer and I shook my head putting up a finger dangerously.
“No! I’m worried though…. Shoto what’s happening?” She asked the question again. I hadn't spoken much since she did yesterday. My throat tightened as I looked at the crescent shapes in my arm. Please stop… I don't know what you'd do if you knew...
“...(Y/n). I’m fine.” I tried to hold out on emotion other than force, but knew it failed as she quieted for a second.
“O-okay….” She moved around and I sighed.
"Todoroki! Hurry up!" Aizawa yelled as All Might gave me a concerned look. Didn't I tell them I wanted to refrain from training until (Y/n) was back anyway? I quickly covered the mic on my phone moving it from my face.
“One minute please!” I yelled back in response before removing my hand from the device. “(Y/n) why are you even awake? Are you that worried?” My brows furrowed as I figured she was feeling terrible. My eyes moved towards the ceiling and I tried to remember the lullaby Fuyumi had sung me a few times when I was younger.
“..Ye-” I had already known her answer by the time she came around to answering and decided to just attempt to hum what I could remember. It sounded awful but her calm breathing came through the phone encouraging me. After a bit, her snores filled the air and I smiled, carrying on anyway. Just to make sure she's okay… A louder snore almost made me falter in confusion.
“Sh-Sho!” (Y/n) half gasped. “I’m getting a call… I’ll talk to you later?” I stopped a void being torn into my chest at the words.
“Who’d be calling you at this hour? Uh, yeah I guess…” I muttered quietly. Couldn't I have just heard her a bit longer? I sighed and stood popping my back as I made my way over to Aizawa.
"Why were you on the phone and not working with the others?" His tone was sharp despite how lazily it was said.
"Cause All Might excused me from training anyway till my soulmate was at school. And she was on the phone worried about something." My brow raised ever so slightly in challenge.
"You excused him from training? But he's been participating anyway." All Might nodded sheepishly.
"I don't know…. Is it because you have something on your mind?" All Might implied towards me again. I groaned and rubbed my head.
"I'm perfectly focused. And since I never got any worried or pissy calls I decided I was fine. But I'm not. She's having an issue at the moment. Talk to her about what's on her mind, why don't you." I turned on my heel with the remark only to have a tight material hold me in place and swing me back to the teachers.
"Watch your mouth and tone Todoroki. I won't allow you to talk like that. Now go train." Aizawa's voice lowered as he narrowed his eyes at me. I nodded begrudgingly and once released went to do as I was told.
"Todoroki! You did well out there! If I could have used my quirk though!" Iida chuckled. "Is something wrong? You look upset!" He exclaimed once looking at me intently. I opened my mouth, but seeing Momo looking at us I gave Iida a smile.
"Not at all. Just mad that the teachers are forcing me into training." He nodded, his eyes shifting to Momo as well.
"I've been meaning to tell you! Call me Tenya. I think we're close enough." I looked around a bit taken aback.
"W-well thanks. Uh, call me Shoto then?" I asked awkwardly. I never really liked the idea of actually telling someone to call me Shoto. (Y/n) naturally did. And Momo kinda just asked if she could. I smiled a bit, (Y/n)'s voice saying my name filling my head as Iid-Tenya led me through the training he was doing and seeing if I was willing to join.

I hummed as I walked home, looking at the sky a little thankful that Fuyumi called me after school saying I needed to come home right away. Momo just doesn't know her strength, it's okay. So stop lying to (Y/n) she doesn't deserve it… Sighing I turned to my house and walked through the open gate to my door and opened it up. Fuyumi was practically jumping in excitement.
"So we need you cleaned up! Especially since you smell like sweat!" I blinked and huffed.
"Fine. Anything else? Iida was thinking of talking to me tonight." I asked boredly, slipping off my shoes and making my way further into the house.
"Yes! You can't go out or have anyone over!" She squealed. My head whipped towards her.
"And why not?" I asked, honestly just wanting to talk to Iida.
"Cause I have someone coming over you just have to meet!" Sighing in defeat I nodded and sent Iida a quick message saying I'd tell him tomorrow cause something came up.
His willingness really made me quickly thank him for being so kind, with Fuyumi telling me to make sure I'm downstairs by 6:50. Three hours to sit around and wait for some mystery person that'll probably just be a total bother to me.
Rolling around on my bed uncomfortably I stared at the pictures on my phone of Momo and I. "It's just not the same…" I breathed out, in all the pictures I could see a shift. I went from being so bright eyed… God I hate those eyes. I growled seeing the drained, dull ones I wore on the most recent of pictures. And Momo fluctuated so much I didn't know if she knew it. But breaking up so early on would be so rude. Plus she's trying…. That'd break her spirit. Unable to deal with looking at myself in the photographs I finally stood up and decided to shower.
Stepping into the lukewarm water relaxed my slightly upset muscles, and I let out a long hum of approval. Looking at my phone that sat to my side I grabbed it and smiled seeing that I had plenty of time. A nice long awaited bath is just what I needed. I scooted lower into the water, leaning my head back in thought, running my hand over my arm, feeling the scabbed up wounds. I haven't asked (Y/n) if she's okay… "..I grew an emotional attachment to you…" it's not as weird sounding as she thinks it is. But I should be more careful till she's not dealing with that… My eyes closed as I let my mind drift to our conversation from today.

She sounded surprisingly cute when snoring. A chuckle escaped my lips before I could stop it. But who called her? My brows furrowed as I attempted to push that worried thought aside. I stretched a bit, grabbing the shampoo. "Sh-Sho!" My eyes widened a bit, the recollection of her gasp filling my senses. The bottle dropped from my hand into the water surrounding me as I grabbed my head.
That's not right… That didn't sound right, how'd I not catch that sooner? ...She was just startled… It's not like she'd do that, would she? And why would it be to my name? I was frozen, the feeling that filled me caused a weird heat to sprout throughout my body. I..wish she would though.. I hit my head lightly. But she's not my- I stared at the object of my worry, realizing that no matter how much it was wrong it was happening. Her smell and soft touch when she hugged me that one time was all I could comprehend. Her many encounters of saying my name altered into sultry sweet voices ringing around my head as my breathing picked up.

~Timeskip though I bet y’all getting annoyed-~
Hanging my towel up while looking at myself in the mirror I sighed. That must never be talked about. God I’m so stupid for doing that… I grabbed a tank from my closet to go with my sweats. Looking at my slightly pruned hands I growled. God you’re such a whore.. I balled up my fist and shoved it in my pocket, leaving my room and heading downstairs to the smell of dinner being cooked. “You are literally getting down here at 6:53! What took you so long?” My sister whined in greeting.
“Sorry.” I mumbled, my face heating up some as I made my way to the lounge.
“No! You get to get the door when they show up cause you’re so enthusiastic!” Fuyumi demanded, grabbing my arm.
“Uh, what!?” A knock sounded and I groaned at Fuyumi’s expected look. “I don’t get why I couldn’t see friends but you have one coming over Fuyumi.” I called out back to her, opening the door.
“Oh, she didn’t tell you.” I almost froze at the voice, my movements quickening as the door swung open from my force. Seeing soft looking (f/c) material, I hesitantly trailed my eyes up further my breath hitching at the sight of a large burn. Oh no… This can’t be… Seeing (Y/n) standing there in a mixture of sass and timidness caused me to choke.
“Come in (Y/n)! It’s so nice to meet you!” My sister yelled from behind me causing me to shuffle out of the way, unable to lock eyes with the female in our doorway.
“You know (Y/n)?!” I hissed, pulling at my hair a bit, keeping my eyes in another direction.
“Nope! It’s so lovely to meet you! I’m Fuyumi Todoroki!” Hearing the door shut I stormed away a few feet. This is what you get for cheating like that. They fucking pop up unexpectedly! I stopped midstep hearing laughter that caused me to peer back at the two.
“No, it’s great to meet you… I hope I’m not intruding! Shoto and I.. We’re not that close!” (Y/n) muttered, moving her hands weirdly. “That’s why I had hoped you’d tell him! It is also his house… I realized I wouldn’t be welcomed if he knew.” My eyes dropped as Fuyumi shot me a small glare, though it wasn’t the glare bothering me. It’s okay, she doesn’t know. It could be all avoided.
“No I’m sorry! The surprise caught me off guard… It’s great to have you.” I tried to sound convincing, ending with a small smile.
“See, we love your company! Come with me! I want to show you the house.” (Y/n) gave me a look as my sister dragged her away and I rubbed my face.
“Oh god… I don’t know if I properly cleaned the bathroom though….” I muttered, my face hotter than ever.
“Coming Shoto?” My sister's head peeked around the corner and I hesitantly nodded. Turning on my heel, I cringed at the sound of knocking. “Wha-? Shoto will you get that since you’re closer?” She stepped around to see the door and (Y/n) stood by her sheepishly. I nodded and turned back to the door speed walking. Opening the door knowing anyone would be better to deal with I stepped back at the sight of the one person I didn’t want to see.
“Fuck…!” I mumbled, giving a shaky smile at Momo. “Hey..! What’s wrong Momo?” I asked, taking a deep breath. This isn’t fucking happening. Goddammit. I won’t do it again. I won’t! She gave me a sweet smile and I quickly moved out of her way.
“Hello Shoto! Your father said he was leaving and I should come over for dinner. He told Fuyumi?” She placed a finger on her bottom lip, tilting her head. Oh god, that’s cute…
“He did not! I had plans already!” Fuyumi fumed behind me and I turned towards her and a cat hissing by her leg. (Y/n), fuck get out of that form! Don’t cats have heightened scent?? I covered my face.
“No no no no! This is not the day or night! Get out! All of you!” I yelled, using my right hand to cool down my burning face. Momo looked at me with a conflicted look while Fuyumi ran upstairs. "Just go Momo." I muttered, pointing at the open door.
"No." My eyes widened as she grabbed my arm. "Please! Why do you have to kick me out? Don't you want to see me?" My pupils trailed to her grip on my arm and I gulped.
"Of course I do! But I'm tired and Fuyumi is trying to do stupid stuff. So please just leave." Biting my lip, I flinched some at the feeling of her nails digging into the existing areas.
"But-" Momo started off threatening but was cut off by a yelped hiss. My throat tightened after realizing that (Y/n) was here.
"SHO!" (Y/n) screamed, pouncing on Momo, her arm showered in a few flowers. "How dare you fucking hurt him!" I couldn't do anything but watch (Y/n) reel back her fist.
"ENOUGH!" I screamed just before impact, halting her completely. "Just leave you two. I don't want you here!" (Y/n) slowly lifted herself up, glaring at me.
"Dont fucking tell me what to do. You've been fucking lying to me!" (Y/n) yelled in my face. "Why the fuck did I have to become so attached? To a fucking liar?" She stormed out and my eyes widened. The hurt that showed in her (e/c) orbs was burned into my mind as I held my arm out and helped Momo up before lightly pushing her out the door and shutting it on her.
“Shoto? Let me in! Why’d she call you Sho? Why was she here?!” Momo banged on the door and I quickly locked it and headed to the chair that gave me a view to the porch and watched her through the blinds.
“No no! Please come back! Stop crying! I’ll get to the bottom of this!” Fuyumi’s loud voice trailed down the stairs to behind me and I sighed watching Momo grab out her phone.
“Come get me please! No, Shoto was..asleep..” She trailed off after a minute and I turned my head towards Fuyumi who hung up the phone and glared at me.
“Fix this! Why did you go off like that!? Did you invite Yaoyorozu here?”
“No. Why would I? And why did you invite (Y/n) here?! What the heck was that for?” I narrowed my eyes at the older female and she covered her face.
“I just want to meet the one who I’ve heard you talk about in your sleep, okay?! I thought if she came over you could get to know her better. But why did you act out. You’ve never acted out towards anyone but dad.” I grabbed my hair and pulled it over my face. I tried to think of a lie but couldn’t find one.
“I did something I’m not proud of, okay!” I turned away and scratched the back of my neck, unable to say anything. God I’m so terrible… “I practically cheated!”
“Cheated? Shoto why’d you cheat?” Fuyumi grabbed my shoulder and kneeled down by me, turning me towards her.
“Cause.... I don’t know! Why the hell did thoughts of (Y/n) turn me on anyway?!” I covered my face angrily. “The only person that should be on my mind is Momo! If I spend another second around (Y/n) I might… I don’t know!” A laughing Fuyumi pulled my hands down from my face.
“You… You…” She trailed off laughing. “You masturbated to (Y/n)?! It’s kinda gross but that’s hilarious!” I hit her hands away and she covered her mouth. “Look. That isn’t cheating at all! God you're such a hormonal teen.” My brow raised and I looked at my sister as she wiped her eyes and smiled at me. “Just apologize to (Y/n) about lying to her, whatever that was about, and tell Momo whatever you think you should and then we can eat dinner, you brat.” I looked down and fished my phone from my pocket, gulping at the 6 missed messages from Momo. Nonetheless I ignored them and clicked on (Y/n)’s contact.
“This is (Y/n)! I’m sorry if you missed me I must be out- Hey!”
“Sucking dick with the girls! She’ll call you back!” A different voice finished. Trying again with the same result I took a deep breath.
“...(Y/n) I’m so sorry, please come back… I’ll tell you everything if you do..” I whispered. I stared at my phone for a while ignoring the ample amount of texts coming in from Momo.
Losing hope, I leaned back in the chair, a wave of exhaustion taking over. A loud ringing brought me back to the scene and I looked down, smiling as hope restored and I clicked answer.
"Why should I come back? You obviously didn't want me there!" I bit my lip and sighed.
"It's not that I didn't want you here, I was just a little.. uhm… embarrassed about something… and I might not still be all too ready to see you right away… But Fuyumi was really wanting you here. And you deserve an answer. An honest answer… So come back. We'll even have a limo escort you home afterwards so you don't get hurt.. please." I begged some but the line stayed silent except for a small sob I heard after talking. "Are you okay? What's wrong?"
"You fucking lied to me…. It hurts that you'd allow someone to hurt you! God you're so stupid!" I flinched as her voice raised an octave.
"Yeah I am… So," I bit my lip. Please work… "Get over here and slap me for it."
"No. Absolutely not." I hit my hand to my thigh.
"Yes pretty please! For Fuyumi. I..I dunno.. For me too. I want to actually talk to you.." The line went dead and I sighed standing up and storming to my room. Punching my father's number into my phone violently, I brought it to my ear.
"Hello Shoto, what can I do for you?" He asked a bit too kindly.
"Yeah. Why the fuck are you sending Momo here?" I seethed.
"Language boy!" Todoroki growled. "I mean we still have our talk from a few weeks back to deal with. You're a teenage boy and spending the night with a girl isn't that hard-" I hung up the phone and slammed it on my desk.
"That fucker!" My anger shot through the roof. "Who does he think he is?! I don't want to-" My eyes widened as the color (f/c) came into view and I turned towards the girl standing in my open doorway. Her eyes were wide yet filled with determination.
"Tell me." She demanded and I blushed and turned away from her. "Why'd you lie to me Todoroki?" The heat left my face as did the color and I swiveled back in her direction.
"Don't call…. I- I just need to tell Momo that she's hurting me. I'm sure she doesn't know! And it was so small… I just didn't want you mad. I already know you have a problem with her… Why make it worse because of a mistake?" Her hand gripped my arm and I instinctively tried pulling it back but she held firmly and stared into my eyes before looking down.
