2 || Todoroki Ending

(A/N: I'll make it a long chapter, you guys deserve it :) ) 

My hand clasps around the necklace that Bakugo gave me, and I hold it in my hands for a moment, just admiring. The stone is so perfect and pure, I can't even imagine how much it costs. Regardless, I tuck the piece back in the small box it presented itself in, then place it softly in one of my desk drawers. I feel guilty looking down at its beauty knowing my current state.

Just as I close the drawer, a knock comes from my dorm room door. I turn towards the noise, but the door is already slowly creaking open, with my dad's face peeping through the open crack, but then Honey pushes past him and the door opens wide anyways. 

"Hey, how's it going?" My dad asks me

"I think I have everything all together, so it'll be easy to move everything back home," I inform him.

"You're sure about moving home, right? I wanna make sure you're safe and happy-" he begins but I cut him off. 

"I promise I'm sure, I think we all need each other at home. I'll still see everyone here, it's not that great of a change."

"Okay, well, we're starting to move everything out in a bit, and should be all set by this time tomorrow," my dad tells me, "I've got everything arranged, just enjoy your winter break for now."

"That doesn't sound too hard," I add. "If you need anything, text me." 

With that, I push past him, headed down to the common room with Honey tagging along at my heels. I find a spot in the empty room, everyone has been at home since our Christmas gathering ended yesterday. I mostly just take a minute to relax, especially since I'm in the middle of moving again, and scroll on my phone and answer a few texts as well. 

I didn't want to admit it to myself, but being able to take some days without worry about hurting either Todoroki's or Bakugou's feelings has done me some good. Maybe keeping them at arms distance is the best thing for me right now. Throwing myself back and forth between them really doesn't help the indecisive. And kissing them both practically at the same time... yikes. I can't even defend my actions there. I just... I love them both. 

I sigh and stand up from my seat, deciding to head home. It's where I ultimately want to be right now. I talk to my dad quickly and let him know that Honey is going to stay here for now since she can't accompany me to the train. After that, I head out in that direction. It's early afternoon, so even though I should be productive right now, all I can think about is being able to curl back up on my couch and feel the comfort of my home again. I mentally decide to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas on the day after Christmas.

I go to find a spot on the busy train when certain hair colors pop out to me. It's the only time I've seen him where I've hesitated to approach, only because I feel like I owe it to both of them to make sure I know what I want. But, as fate would have it, he looks up exactly where I'm standing, catching me looking. I plaster a smile and sit next to him.

"What are you doing here, Todo?" I ask him playfully.

"I just got back from visiting my mom actually," he tells me, instinctively grabbing my hand and holding it with his. I'm not opposed to it.

"Awe, how was that? Is she doing well?"

"Yeah, she's okay. Christmas is her favorite holiday," he tells me.

"I'm sure it's right where she belongs," I joke, hinting towards her ice quirk that they share. He offers a slight smile.
