It'll only get better//Todoroki x oc/reader

Chapter 6

Everything is dark, you're scared, it wasn't supposed to be like this, you were really trying.....this was all your fault.

You were incased in a big, glass tube filled with water stopping just below your nose so you could breathe.

Most times you would accidentally inhale some of the murky water surrounding you and had to use your quirk to absorb some of it so you could breathe again.

How long have you been in here? an hour? 10 hours? It was hard to tell. Out of all the punishments your father put you through, this had to of been the worst.

Suddenly, the tank was quickly filling up with water. You tried to cry for help but it was muffled by the water drowning you, you tried to use your quirk but to no avail. Nothing worked. You were going to die.....

"M-t-k, M-it-ki, Miksuki!" You felt someone lightly shaking your shoulders.

"come on, school ended 10 minutes ago everyone's left already but good thing you had me to wait for you!" They boomed comfortingly but also in a joking manner.

There was only one person who could be that cheery on a Monday afternoon.

Slowly, you raise your head from the desk and crack the joints in your stiff back, before looking upon Inasa.

"Hey Inasa sorry for causing so much trouble for you I just didn't get enough sleep last night that's all" you confessed with a shaky smile.

'The nightmares have been getting worse.'

"Ahhh it's no trouble at all Mitsuki I was actually coming to see if you wanted to come hit the gym with me since I've heard that you go there regularly! What do ya say wanna be gym buddies?" He asked in a sweet tone.

'Dam this guy is too bright' you thought while squinting.

"Yeah sure I was actually going to go today anyways." You said as you got up and walked out of the classroom with him, listening to him babble about everything and anything that sounded interesting.

Surprisingly, even though he was quite loud, his actions distracted you from the previous nightmares that were looming in your subconscious.

Arriving at the gym, you both went into separate changing rooms to change into your exercise kit.

All of a sudden though you were having doubts.

'what if it's awkward going to the gym with someone else, what if we have different training regimens, omg do I look fat!' Sighing you pushed all of those thoughts away and stepped out once you were finished.

You saw Inasa waiting outside, feeling guilty that you might've made him wait for a while you quicken your pace towards him.

"Sorry that took so long" you said laughing a bit to yourself.

"Oh no it's fine I get it, a lady needs to take their time, looking good by the way Mitsuki you sure do work out!" He exclaimed helping to improve your self confidence.

"T-thanks" you muttered while blushing.

"Now now let's get into this workout, plus ultra!" He boomed raising his fist into the air as he walked over to the treadmills.

2 hours later, and you were both still sweaty, chilling at the park drinking smoothies that you had both bought at the local café.

After your vigorous workout you two decided that you both needed a well deserved break. Working out at the gym with Inasa actually went better than expected, he waited for you to finish your set before moving onto the next piece of equipment, you both followed your own regimens but actually participated in each other's every now and then, and he even lifted you as a weight which you found really embarrassing but fun none the less.
