Love? Todoroki x Reader

35: Blood Bound

"Are you going?" he asked, breaking the silence. Both you and Todoroki were sitting on the bed in your dorm. The letter was sitting in between you, which you found after your dad finally released you from your punishment. You brought your knees closer as you sighed.

"I should open that, right?"

Todoroki nodded with a straight face, "Yes."

Y/n huffed, eyes narrowing at the envelope. You picked up it up while going into a cross-legged position. With the other hand, you formed a crystal paper cutter. You sliced through the envelope, the crystal disappearing.

[I presume that the old man gave this to Y/n Wisteria. Just saying if someone else, other than you, opened this letter. Let's just say they wouldn't have their eyes anymore.]

Y/n grimaced. Ok, this guy's really starting off a letter like that, huh. He also sounds a little too much like mom. I pray that these two never met, you thought, sweat-dropping.

[We have a lot of catching up to do, but I won't spoil anything. Meet me at Cafe Mitter Meyer on XXX Street. Do bring that peppermint-looking guy. We also have some things to talk over. But if you don't want that, he and I can meet another time. See you then~
Zane Wistaria]

The paper crumbled slightly, "Ha...you've got to be kidding me." Todoroki gave you a curious look. You merely tossed the paper at him and got off the bed. He glanced at you quizzically but decided reading the letter would be better so he could help you.

Y/n had paced back and forth at least eight times before Todoroki decided to speak. "Zane Wistaria. Another Wisterian?"

You whirled around, h/c locks flying at the action. "No," you growled, clearly pissed. Todoroki blinked in surprise at the hidden wrath behind that one word. If you could, he knew that Y/n could have killed with that one word. And judging from the rage he practically felt coming off of you, you'd have done it if you could. Just not to him though. "There's no way." You went back to pacing. "My parents were the only Wisterians alive then they had me. They died fighting, my unborn-younger brother with them."

Your body trembled from how pissed off and confused you were. You curled your hand into a fist, so you didn't do anything stupid. "They're dead. He's dead."

There. Is. No. Fucking. Way.

Y/n tensed when you felt a hand grab your wrist. "Stop. You're hurting yourself." You uncurled your hand to see small crescents on the inside of your palm. Blood was dripping from the deep cuts.

"Sorry about that," you mumbled, the wound already healing. "No." You glanced quizzically up at Todoroki. His hand slid from your wrist to your hand.

Holding tight.

Your mind flashed to the time he held it the same way. When he had kissed your hand in the elevator. Y/n's cheeks flushed slightly, now is not the time to think about that!

"You deserve to feel this way. You should be angry." His eyes locked onto yours as he continued. "Some guy comes out of nowhere, easily calming you down. Was somehow able to get into that grove so you can get this letter," he said, gesturing to the envelope still on the bed. "I know it's dangerous but, you should go see him." You blinked in surprise. He was the last person I expected to say yes.

"But don't you get it? He was able to deflect my attacks. I may not have been right in the head. But he still did and...the way his aura shifted..." you trailed off, looking away.

"I know." You looked up with a 'have you finally lost it' face. "I hate him." You blinked. I forget how Todoroki doesn't beat around the bush. But didn't they just meet yesterday? Y/n thought with a dumb-founded expression.
