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

Chapter 28

A hum of murmurs bring you back from your sleep. Slowly, you opened your heavy eyelids and tried to figure out where you were. "Ah you're awake." You heard a gruff voice say and instantly knew who it belonged to.

"Aizawa-sensei?" You questioned quietly as you tried to see where he was through your blurry vision. "I'm here Mitsuki, try not to move so much." He instructed. After a bit, you finally realised where you were; the infirmary. 'Oh great.' You thought sarcastically.

"Itō, are you alright?" You quickly tilted your head towards the familiar voice and saw Todoroki sitting on the stool beside you. Doing this caused a pounding headache to occur making you squeeze your eyes tight in retaliation. "It's ok it's just one of my drawbacks when overusing my quirk." You explained through gritted teeth.

You spotted Aizawa leaning against the back wall as he took an exhausted sigh. "Well just take it easy, if you don't feel well in the next ten minutes you don't have to go back out for the awards ceremony." The mummified man explained.

You slowly got up from your uncomfortable position on the bed and rested your head against the wall in a slouched sitting position. "I'm sure I'll be fine by then don't worry." You insisted as you stifled a twitch at the bright lights irritating your vision.

Even through the bandages you could see Aizawa's features literally screaming 'that's not what I was worried about kid.' But you decided not to comment on it. 'If only father had cared about my well-being like that.' On the subject of your father you suddenly remembered the promise that you had made to the pro hero and Todoroki earlier today.

"So I'm guessing you want to know what's been happening huh?" You nervously glanced at Todoroki who gave you a small nod back. "Whenever you're comfortable with sharing it to us Itō." Todoroki reassured which made you feel slightly more confident about the matter.

You took a deep breath and sighed.

"Well, it all started when..."

(Author is far too lazy to address all the crap Mitsuki has gone through but they're sure that the lovely readers get the idea of what she said. Abusive mother, abusive father, the dreaded tank, neglected childhood all that jazz.)

When you finally finished, tears were spilling all over your face and down your U.A sports kit. For some reason though, your headache had died down and you felt like a weight had been lifted off of your chest. You felt...free.

"I-I understand if that was a lot to take in but I just wanted to be honest with you two, you deserve it after everything you've had to put up with from me." You said trying to lessen the bombshell that you've unleashed upon them.

A warm hand gently wipes the tears off of your face and holds it there for a moment. You slowly clutch onto Todoroki's hand for support as he stares into your deep brown eyes, with a few blue specks, longingly. "Thank you for telling me, it must've been hard for you to admit but believe me when I tell you that I understand." He says quietly and that's all it took for you to grab a hold of his shirt and pull him into a hug.

'That's all I wanted to hear. For someone to understand what it's like.' You knew from the start. You silently cry into his shoulder as he rubs up and down your back soothingly whilst also quickly removing the other hand that was on your cheek before you could crush it from underneath your tight hold.

The two of you just there for a moment with you burying your head deeper into his shoulder as Todoroki awkwardly, now on the edge of the stool that he was sat upon, tries to remain balanced.

'I wish things could stay like this forever.' You hoped but unfortunately, not all dreams come true. You realise this as soon as Aizawa coughed from the other side of the room trying to bring the attention back to the matter of hand.
