A/N So I'll have both Midoriya's and Todoroki's POV in this chapter but they're both at the same time. Like they'll both start with waking up and going along their day. Does that make sense? If it don't I'll just edit it. 


Todoroki's POV

I hadn't slept at all last night. I was plagued by nightmares. Nightmares of my parents fighting. Nightmares of the incident. Nightmares of Touya. But by far the worst one was of Midoriya. Yet, not everything can disappear once you wake up. 

I don't know why I did that to be honest. The tiredness had caught up and I knew he was going to leave me. I wasn't going to let anyone leave me again. So I left him first.

That's  what I've been telling myself but I know deep down that I was hysterical and upset and wanted answers and his words hurt me. I don't know, I sort of snapped. But I refuse to tell myself that it was a mistake. I left him before he could leave me. Honestly, it sounds like we were in a relationship, but that's only in my dreams. 

Right now, I'm in the cafeteria for some black coffee before I retreat back to my room for solitude to wallow in pity. As I order, someone comes up behind me and pats me on the back. I turn to see Kaminari smiling at me before seeing the dark bags under my eyes and red cheeks,

"I haven't seen you in forever man, I thought you'd died." then the blonde see's the dark bags  eyes and red cheeks, "Shit dude, you look like... well shit." he teases with a hint or worry laced in it, 

"I didn't sleep much last night, or the night before, so I'm in dire need of a coffee blacker than Tokoyami's soul." Its not a complete lie, I am sleep deprived with just a little bit (a lot) of heartbreak sprinkled on the top. But I wasn't going to be crying with a box of ice cream was I? I had no right to. 

"Oh shit man, well there's your coffee, hope you get better soon." he say's cheerfully as I grab my coffee and walk away. The cafeteria was reasonably quiet today, probably because everyone's asleep and enjoying their holiday's, so I decide to sit down in the open space. Honestly, it's a whole lot better than being pent up in my dorm. The table I chose was empty, in the middle of the cafeteria, with 7 empty chairs, excluding the one I go to sit at. I place the takeaway cup on the table and bury myself in my hands for a second.  The light murmur of people was perfect. It wasn't too quiet so I was left with my own thoughts but not too loud where I was overwhelmed. It was perfect. That was until a certain redhead shouted from behind me, "HEYYYY MAN, HOW ARE YOU?" he puts his hand on my shoulder and I jolt up from the quiet bliss, 

"Can you not be so loud Kirishima?" I ask exasperated, 

"Sorry man," he said quieter, sitting down next to me and noticing my appearance, "Dude, the fuck happened? You look like-"

"Shit? Yeah Kaminari's already said, hence the black coffee." I nod towards the takeaway cup, taking another sip of it, 

"What happened then?" he asks, starting at me intensely, 

"Nothing, just a long night." I say in my usual monotone voice, It had been over a week since I had been this cold towards people. Midoriya really did something to me didn't he. Midoriya... My mind went back to the fun we had, the camera incident, when he gave me the expensive stencil set, when we-
