Broken Glass {Villain! Deku x Todoroki}

Chapter 9: {A Brand New Start}

Last Chaaaapteeeer!

Warning...this starts with a pretty big curveball

Ready?

You sure?

Okay...

One Year Later

I did warn you.

Shoto sipped his coffee at a popular corner cafe, thinking back to the events of a year ago.

He had collapsed after bringing Izuku to the police station.

Izuku and him had been rushed straight to critical care. Shoto had been released after only a few weeks. Izuku, on the other hand...

The dual-haired hero felt a pang of sorrow in his chest.

As soon as he  woke up, a doctor was waiting by the side of his bed.

"Oh, you're awake! I'll call for a nurse..." The man turned towards the door, but Shoto grabbed his arm weakly.

"W..what happened?" 

The doctor sighed and turned around. He was an old man, with a kindly, tired face.

"According to your patient file, you carried that other young fellow into the police station yesterday. Both of you looked like you were ready to leave this world. You managed to hang on, but we'll need to put you in rehab for about a month." He turned to go again.

"Wait..." Todoroki croaked.

"What, son?" the man asked, not turning around.

"What happened to him?"

"Who?"

"Iz-The boy I carried in."

The doctor turned, frowning. 

"He...he's hanging on at least." He rubbed his forehead and exited the room, ignoring Shoto's shouts.

For the next week, they had to sedate him almost constantly because he kept trying to leave his  bed to see Izuku, which opened his wounds.

Finally he settled down and completed his rehab at the end of the third week.

He was walking again, and was in good shape, so they finally let him see Midoriya.

Shoto stood outside the door, taking a deep breath and turning the knob.

Cautiously, the man closed the door behind him.

On the hospital bed lay a frail Izuku, eyes closed. He was hooked up to so many machines his face was almost covered by wires.

Shoto felt a sob welling up inside him. His love looked so lifeless and dead. And why wasn't he moving? Was he...

A nurse walked up to him. 

"Mr. Todoroki? He's been in a coma. We don't know when he'll wake up or if he ever will. We will keep him here as long as you wish, but even if he does wake up, he may suffer brain damage. His body shut down to heal. We're trying to help him, but there's no telling what will happen." She explained gravely.

"...I see." The dual-haired male swallowed his sorrow.

He walked up to his boyfriend, kissing him on the forehead tenderly.

"Hang in there for me, okay?" Todoroki whispered, lingering for a moment before turning and exiting.

They had been separated again.
