Coughing Fits [Shoto Todoroki]

My hero

So here I was, I didn't actually think I would come to this point , but sadly it did

The air roughly danced around my shaking body , the floor swaying to the rhythm of the cars passing by , The Moon shined bright as ever and the stars seemed to be in the same place as any other day

What a good day to end it all

With my ragged breath I looked forward , terrified.
Was this what i wanted ?

Of course
It doesn't matter
You don't matter

I looked down to see the rocks on the ground that I would hit when I fell from this height , never did the ground look so inviting like it did tonight , the rocks actually gleaming like a diamond

I gripped harder the railing of the bridge , unsteady they were, rust on my sweaty hands

The wind was harsh , it felt like knife when it whirled around my face and I took a step forward.

Do it

I looked at the bottom of it, I would end everything,  now

I was here, so no backing out of it

One last breath before letting go ,my hand softened its death grip on the rail

I closed my eyes , closed myself to the world

I took a step forward

not feeling the ground anymore ,but only the strong pressure of the wind hitting my body all at once like bullet trim , and it ripped a scream out of my lungs .

But I didn't fall, I was hanging
I opened my eyes instantly as I looked down seeing pointed edges waiting at my feet . Oh fuck me

I looked above to see a guy, no, boy

He gritted his teeth as he held my wrist with his hand , he was grabbing the rail with his other hand

I growled at him , he's making this more difficult

I grabbed his hand and tried to pry it off , my fingers gripping his hand in a attempt to get his hand to let go

"Let go!" I yelled angered , I kicked my legs trying to get my hand out of his grip

"No!" With a strong pull, he manged to bring me up to the ground , he held my wrist tightly , "the hell  " He gasp breathless

" you don't know me, don't pretend like you give a damn , just leave me " He shook his head

And this time I actually took a second , of my un meaningful life to acknowledge the boy who " saved "my life
red and white locks falling over his pale face and covering his diferente colored eyes , eyes i have never  seen like any other , one as grey metal and the other bright blue like a turquoise

"I can't let you do it" the boy spoke , still catching his breath

"You don't understand " 

"No, you don't understand, I might not know you but you can't kill yourself "

My teeth rattled against each other ,digging my nails into my plam, I shook violently as I felt emotions bubble up inside me like a volcano

"I have nothing left" i choked "My mom left and my father  died, My brother was killed by a Villan not so long ago, I have nothing, I'm so lonely ,I can't take anymore "

His facial features soften
" I now what it is to be lonely , I know, but suicide isn't the solution" I can't stand it , I looked away , taking a step back, he took a step towards me

"I just don't want to wake up another morning being alone and bullied , being scared, being afraid " i peered at him now  " I just can't "

Hesitant, he reached his fingers towards me , scared almost I would break , that i would fall apart at the slightest touch and he wasn't wrong

I didn't care if he was just doing it because it was the right thing , I only cared about the fact

And the fact was , he was here, reaching out to me

" come with me ?" The voice didn't even rattle , he was sure , confidente and absolutely inviting

There would be other nights , , with a full moon and the rocks still polished like gems . I would still go on just a bit longer , for the sake of this one boy who eyes are right now the only thing keeping on the ground

Shouto Todoroki, the boy insisted and insisted to walk me home , how could I refuse ? , he wouldn't have let me refuse anyway

" this is it " i stopped walking , a small buildings of apartments, kinda looked like it was falling apart and the only thing keeping it together was a bunch of crazy glue , I faced him

I didn't know him other than his name , what was I supposed to say? We had exchanged numbers but I wasn't actually planing and being BFF's

" this is where you live ?" He asked

"Yes , just me " I gave slight wave with my hand " under any other circumstances I would have said it was a lovely evening , sorry I can't say that in this case , but I'm very grateful you stayed at my side without knowing who I was " I bowed my head a slight , Time for plan B , the bathtub
And began to walk towards the building

"Wait" I turned my head over my shoulder , raised an eyebrow, my dude I got places to be " wanna see each other tomorrow?"

I gave a amused chuckle, oh boy , I thought I was getting off easy  " I'm busy tomorrow "

"You're lying " i was " I want to make sure you don't do anything stupid today or tomorrow, or any other day" I nodded in understandment " maybe I can help " doubt that

"Tomorrow it is then " I smiled assuring him

"See you then , have a good rest " i waved at him before actually leaving now , but yet again his voice brought me back

"It's a promise then, tomorrow?"

"its a promise , tomorrow"

"I'll be going then , See you tomorrow" I waved goodbye seeing him walk away, he gave me a last wave goodbye before disappearing

Maybe, just maybe , Todoroki, just maybe.
