Tiger Lillies (TodoDeku) (Depressed Deku)

Part 2

After about 15 mins or so, we pulled into the driveway of a tan house. It was decently sized. "Okay so the basics of the house: 1. I live alone, meaning you and I will be roommates I guess. 2. I have a guest bedroom that you can make yours. You can even paint it if you want. 3. What's mine is yours. If you ever need anything, dont be afraid to ask. And finally rule number four..." he leaned in really close and looked intense, "... if you break my spiderman discs, I will destroy you." I laughed a little and hopped out of the truck. He unlocked the back of the truck and we each grabbed a box while Todoroki unlocked his door. I stepped inside, closing it behind me. It looked nice. Cozy even. It was simple but also had that touch of home. The house smelled of... is that cookies I smell? I looked over and saw a diffuser. I never really pegged him for a guy who would use essential oils and a diffuser. It was kinda funny. We walked down a hall all the way to the back. He tried to open the door and then froze in panic. "You good there Todoroki?" I asked. "The door... it's locked... my sister must still have the key. She lives like an hour away oh my god I'm sorry Midoriya but I dont think we can get it open until tomorrow." I smiled, "that's okay! I can sleep on the couch, it's fine. Really." "Oh no no no! You mustn't sleep on the couch! You can have my bed I'll sleep on the cou-" "no need, it's your home, it's your room, it's quite alright." He was quiet for a second. "How about this, we both can sleep in my bed. Dont make that sound weird. My bed is pretty large and I have enough space. That way, we would both get the bed." Sleeping with another man already? I laughed to myself. "Okay, sounds good. We can make a night of it. We could watch a movie, eat some snacks, whatever you want!" I told him. He smiled and nodded. Him and I went back down the hall and placed the boxes next to the couch. We carried in the other things, placing them in the same spot. "Well, there you go. You officially live here now. I know it's not much but-" I cut him off by pulling him into a big hug. "Thank you, for everything," I told him. "No problem," he responded. It was only then when I decided to check my phone. It was now a little past 6. It's been a loooong day. I also had a few missed calls and texts from Bakugo.

*2 missed calls*
Bakugo: Where are you?
Bakugo: Please, let's work this out.
*1 missed call*
Bakugo: I'm headed back to the place now, please be there.
Bakugo: I'm here, where the hell are you?
*1 missed call*
Bakugo: Please just come home. Let's talk. We can work things out
Bakugo: DAMN IT MIDORIYA WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?
Bakugo: I'm sorry... I love you
*1 missed call*
Bakugo: I made a mistake. I miss you. I want to see you, please
Bakugo: I am going to find you. We will talk wether you want to or not.

That was the end of it. Was- Was he threatening me at the end? I dont know. I checked my other messages. I recieved a message from All Might.

All-Might: Hey kid, Aizawa messaged me. Are you okay? I'm here for ya

I ignored it. Not that I didn't appreciate it, I just didnt want to talk. "So, what ya thinking for dinner? Would you like to go out?" "Sure! Going out to dinner would be nice. I havent done that in a while." He smiled, "it's settled then. Let's go." "Like, right now?" He smirked, "yes, right now. Let's go," he said, grabbing me by the wrist and dragging me out. He locked the door behind us and I waited for him. He walked over to a car and I followed him, getting in the passenger seat. "Wait, if your car is here, how did you get to work?" I questioned. He shut his door. "Asui picked me up today so we could grab some coffee first. She usually gets it wrong when I tell her what I want so she decided to just bring me with." I nodded. "Where would you like to go?" He asked. "Uhhh I dont know. You choose." He nodded and pulled out of his driveway. We drove for about 6 minutes, listening to some music of my choice. He seemed a bit surprised by my music and even seemed to also like it. "I didn't know you listened to Linkin Park," he said, turning up the song 'What I've Done'. "I've listened to them for years. They're great!" He nodded and drove on. We listened to 'Numb' as well before he pulled into a parking lot of a local diner. We got out and went up and in the diner. "Table for two, please," I told the host. She smiled at me and said our waitress would be with us shortly. "Hi, welcome to Ura's Diner, I'll be your waitress. What may I start you off with?" The waitress asked, looking at us and looking shocked. "Midoriya? Todoroki? What are you two doing here?" I looked up from the menu to be greeted by the warm face of Uraraka. "Uraraka! Hey!" I said, standing up and giving her a hug. Todoroki just waved at her and smiled. "I havent seen you in months Deku, how have you been?" "I've been fine I guess. A lot has happened, just talk to Asui about it. Congrats on the engagement by the way, I hope you two are happy together!" She smiled at me, "thanks! Su and I will be sending out invitations to the wedding soon. Do you still have the same address?" Color drained from my face slightly. "Are you okay Deku?" She asked. "Oh yeah I'm fine. I'm living with Todoroki now though." She nodded, "I bet Bakugo just loves that." I froze. "Uh, he does live with you, right? Or did something happen that you didnt tell me about and I seem like a huge jerk?" "He just moved in with me today, about an hour ago actually. Katsuki Bakugo cheated on him with Kirishima last night and I just happened to be there to let's say help him. Su will explain later." She nodded. "Well, I'm awfully sorry. Here, free dessert, on the house. For both of you. You can choose after you eat of course." I smiled at her. "Thanks, but can you actually do that without asking a manager?" She smiled, "Deku, I own this diner. That's why it's called Ura's diner. It has been way too long since we've talked. I bought it with the help of Momo of course, so technically we both own it, I just work here as well while she handles the paperwork and staff. It's great, really. I wish she was here tonight, she would have bv een thrilled to see you two again." I smiled at her, "yeah." "Well anyways, what can I get you two to drink?" "Ummm Pineapple fanta please!" "A cherry sprite." She wrote it down in her notepad. "Gotcha! It'll be right out." She walked off. She had definitely grown a few inches and was probably just under my height. I'm so happy that her and Asui were together. They make a great couple. "You okay Midoriya?" I snapped out of it. "Huh? Oh! Yeah I'm good." "Alright, you spaced out a bit. Let's just decide what we want." I looked over the menu. Everything seemed so good! She came back a few minutes later with our drinks. "Alright, have you two decided what you would like yet?" "Yep! Can I get a uhh banana Bavarian cream crepes with nutella?" "Certainly. What two sides would you like?" "Assorted fruit and hashbrowns please!" She nodded and turned to Todoroki, "and for you?" "I'd like the samplers platter." "Alright, how would you like your eggs?" "Over medium please." She nodded. "Will that be all for now?" "Yes ma'am," Todoroki said, receiving a nudge from Uraraka. "Dont call me ma'am you double dipped old man," she teased. He smiled and she walked away. "It's sure been a while since I've seen her. A few months actually." "Really? I'd expect you two to talk more. You guys were so close in high school." "Yeah, well as I said, I drifted from everybody a lot so yeah." He nodded. "I see her at least once a week since I work with Asui. We are the only two that work there and we usually work at the same time. Tamira is the manager but she is always there with us as well. Oh, I forgot to ask. Where do you work at now?" "Okay okay, dont laugh at me. I'm a florist. I work at the flower shop down town." "No kidding, that's where my brother's wife works. Andrea?" I smiled, "oh I know her. She's nice and is always so peppy, even for me. But she is always so kind and willing to help out. It's great." He smiled at me. We were quiet for a few minutes as both of us went on our phones until we saw Uraraka approach us with a tray. She placed mine down in front of me first, then Todoroki. "Alright guys, I hope you two enjoy your meals. I'm gonna bring you two out something in a few minutes. They will also be free, along with your chosen desserts. It's the least I can do." "Oh, you really didnt have to do all this," I said, smiling at her. "It's my pleasure," she said, grinning wider. "Well, enjoy!" "Thanks, Uraraka," Todoroki said. "No prob." She walked away and we looked at our food. It looked sooo good. My crepes were rolled up with heaping amounts of Bavarian creme in them. On top they had nutella spread all over them with banana slices covering it. There was also powdered sugar. It looked so good. We began to eat our food and my suspicions were correct. This was the best thing I have EVER eaten in my entire life! Todoroki also looked to be enjoying his platter. No doubt Uraraka knew how to cook, but I didnt expect her to open a restaurant! She definitely cooked these. No one else could ever cook like her. I knew she could do it. "Alright guys, two strawberry cheesecake milkshakes on the house! I hope you enjoy them. I made the especially for you two because Todoroki is half one flavor and half another, and Deku is definitely really sweet, hence the half cheesecake and half strawberry. I know that a strawberry cheesecake is technically one thing, but it just made sense to me. Please enjoy!" We thanked her and tried our shakes. She did NOT disappoint! They were thick but also creamy and the chunks of strawberries or cheesecake were so delicious. Amazing. "Everything is so good," Todoroki said. "Yep, amazing," I said, shoving another banana slice in my mouth. After we finished, Uraraka returned with a dessert menu for each of us. "Alright, choose your desserts while I go put these in the dishwasher. Okay?" "Okay! Wait actually, can I get my dessert to go?" I asked. "Yeah, me too?" Uraraka nodded and took our plates, "of course." I was stuffed, but there was no chance of me passing up Uraraka's dessert. We were the only two in the diner as they usually closed earlier, but decided to stay open for tonight's special that would be happening in a few hours. She shortly returned. "Okay, what can I get yall?" "May I get a molten lava cake?" "Sure! And for you?" She asked, turning towards Todoroki. "I'll have the same please." "Great! Ill be right back with everything. I'm so happy I got to see you both again." "You too," I responded. She walked off. "I'll pay," I said, taking out my wallet. "Uh, yeah no. No way." "Come on, I just moved into your house. I'm being a burden, at least let me pay." His slightly cheery expression dropped and he looked at me. "What?" I asked. "Do you really think you're being a burden Midoriya?" "Well, yeah. I'm a huge wreck. The first time we see each other in years is when I throw myself off a building, in which you for some reason caught me. Now, you're forced to deal with me because we now live together. I'm a burden." He took both of my hands that were on the table in his and looked me in the eyes. "Midoriya, you are not a burden. You are an amazing person and I need you as much as you need me. I'm so glad that after all these years we finally met again. Sure, I'd prefer it was under different circumstances, but I'm still glad to see you. I've missed you." My cheeks were tinged pink as Uraraka returned with a bag and a check, starting at our hands. "Well not that this whole holding hands thing isnt nice and all, but here are your desserts. Also, I've decided to split the check halfway as I know you two would never cave in to letting the other pay. I'll be back in a few minutes, I just have to talk to the hostess. I'll be right back," with that, she was gone again. Paying halfway. Seemed fair. We each put in $15 and then an extra $15 each as a tip. We got up with me carrying the bag. "I'm gonna wash up real quick, are you coming with or do you want to wait in the car?" Todoroki asked. "I'll go with," I responded. We walked to the back of the diner and saw the bathroom sign. We walked in and and I placed the bag down on the counter while I rolled up my sleeves to wash my hands. I could tell Todoroki was staring at my wrists as he rolled up his sleeves. I saw a few scars on him as well, but they looked pretty old so I decided not to say anything. We washed and dried our hands before I grabbed the bag and we headed out. Up at the front we said our goodbyes to Uraraka and headed back to the car. We drove back to the house, deciding to listen to more Linkin Park. We first listened to 'Breaking the Habit' and then 'Heavy', both two of my favorites. Halfway through the song 'Heavy' I heard Todoroki softly singing. He probably didnt think he was louder than the music, but I could still hear him. "Why are you staring at me like that?" he asked me. I was too busy focusing on his singing I must've been staring. "It's just, your singing... you have an amazing voice." He turned a bit red, "you heard me? I thought I was quiet enough, I'm sorry. I'm truly nothing good with my singing." I shook my head, "dude, your singing is like an angel!" He turned a bit redder. "Yeah yeah, whatever you say. Just turn up the music." I did so and he stopped singing sadly. We pulled in soon and got out of the car. We walked inside and plopped on the couch. "I know plans were to watch a movie and eat some snacks, but I'm full so how about we do something else first instead," he suggested. "Sure, do you have anything in mind?" He thought for a second. "How about this, we invite Sero, Kaminari, Mina and Jiro over? We havent seen them today and it seems like we are seeing a bunch of our old classmates today." I nodded, "it would be great to see them again. Oh, but please, dont tell them I'm living here. Just say you invited me and Kacchan was working and couldn't make it or something. I dont feel like explaining again." "Okay, sure." He brought out his phone and called them one by one, each one confirming to be over. "I really dont think I've seen any of them since the wedding beside Kaminari because he hangs around Bakugo. He was one of the ones out last night with them in fact. The only people I've contacted after the wedding were Iida, Uraraka, Asui and occasionally Tokoyami. Even at that, we didnt talk much. I never knew that after high school I would stop talking to so many people I've made so many memories with. It's crazy." He nodded. A few minutes later, Kaminari was the first to show. "Hey how's it going Todoroki! It's been- wait... Midoriya! You're here!" I bet Kaccahn had already told him. "Please don't tell Kacchan. I beg of you, please dont. And dont tell the others of the whole scandal. I dont feel like explaining anything again." "Bakugo has gone crazy looking for you all day, but luckily, I dont support his actions. I'll keep my mouth shut." I smiled, "thank you." "Please, come sit," Todoroki told Kaminari, sitting on the floor. The others arrived shortly. Mina and Sero were married and had 1 girl and a baby on the way. Kaminari and Jiro were also married, she just left work when she came here. She was also pregnant, which was quite surprising. "Midoriya! Hey! Wheres the hubby?" Sero asked. Oh boy. "Oh he's at work, that's all," I replied. He sat down on the floor as well. We all were sat in a circle. "Okay, so what should we do?" Todoroki asked. "You're the one who invited us here," Jiro said. "True, but I dont know what to do." "OH! OH! OH! TRUTH OR DARE!" Sero suggested. "Any objections?" Todoroki asked. No one said anything. "Good, we shall begin then. Sero, you start." Sero smirked. "Kaminari, truth or dare?" "Dare!" Sero thought for a minute. "I dare you toooo.... do a strip tease for Jiro!" Jiro rolled her eyes, "already with the sexual stuff, huh?" Kaminari stood up, "definitely!" He slowly started taking off his shirt, dancing to no music. It was quite funny to watch. "You know you want some," he said, unbuttoning his pants. "In your dreams!" She quickly responded. "It isnt a dream, it's reality. I knocked you up, remember?" He teased her. She turned a bit red, "yeah yeah shut up." He slid down his pants, leaving him in his boxers, still dancing to no music. I turned my head away. I was NOT interested in seeing his junk being waved in Jiro's face. He continued dancing before Jiro pushed him over by tripping him with her earphone jacks. "Okay, we're done here," she says, satisfied with the nearly naked man laying on the floor. "Yeah, I dont think I could stand to watch another minute of that!" Sero said. "Whatever, whatever. It was amazing and everybody knows it. Anyway, it's my turn now. Todoroki, the fabulous host, truth or dare?" "After what I just saw, I'll go with a truth," he responded. "Hmm alright let's see... oh! Here's a good one. In high school, you had the biggest crush on Midoriya, do you still like him?" He smirked immensely. "Wait, what?" I said, turning my head towards a now red Todoroki. "Oh boy!" Kaminari said, laughing, "you never told him!? My bad!" He laughed along with Sero and the girls both smiled. "You used to like me?" I asked. I dated Kacchan throughout most of high school. If Todoroki liked me, he most likely had to suffer and watch me make kissy faces at someone who hated him. That must've been awful. But even so, I didnt know he like guys! I thought he and Yaoyorozu would've hooked up by now, but I see why she ended up with Iida. "Wait, Todoroki's gay?" Jiro asked. "Okay, yes I'm gay. I like guys, there I admit. But there really was no reason for telling Midoriya I used to like him. To answer your question, I got over it. He was happy and so I moved on. Kaminari raised his brow at him, but just sighed. "Whatever you say, bro." I, myself was Bi so I had nothing against him, it was just a bit of a shock. It would explain why he was always been single as far as I know though. "My turn now. Jiro, truth or dare?" "Dare." He looked around a bit and then smiled. "I dare you to shove one of your ear jacks into the wall and tell us what song you hear playing." "That's so lame, I'll do it anyways though," Jiro responded. She went over and jabbed her jack into the wall as we all went quiet. "Fireflies by Owl City from your next door neighbor. That was easy." She sat back down in her spot. "Okay, Mina, truth or dare?" "Truth." "Alright, where is the craziest place that you and Sero have done it?" Sero turned red but Mina answered immediately with no shame. "In the men's bathroom at an Olive Garden." Kaminari whistled at them. "You want it, you get it!" Mina laughed. "Alright, that leaves me left with the next victim. Midoriya, truth or dare?" Oh lord. "Dare?" I said, it coming out as more of a question. She smirked. "Let's make this interesting. I dare you to keep a straight face for a whole minute while Todoroki flirts endlessly with you. The loser will have to admit their biggest secret. Ready?" I turned pale. "If I turn red but keep a straight face, do I still win?" She nodded, "you can't control the color of your face so I guess so. Plus, I know you get nervous easy." I took a deep breath and released it. "I dont get a say in this?" Todoroki spoke up. "Not unless you want to tell us your secret now." He sighed, "fine. Start the timer." With that, Mina pulled out her phone, "3, 2, 1, go!" Todoroki crawled infront of me and stared at me, smiling. I already felt a bit of heat rising to my cheeks, but kept my poker face. He crawled closer to me and placed a hand on my face, "already turning red my darling? Just wait to see how red I can make you later." I turned as red as I possibly could while Mina laughed. He then said, "damn shorty, are you from mario? Because you're just a peach." The red remained on my face but so did the blank expression. "30 seconds!" Mina threatened. Todoroki then said, "you look so sexy when you are so serious with that look on your face." I didnt budge. "I cant stand to be away from such a god like you." Nothing. "My name is Todoroki, but you can call me yours." Still nothing. "10 seconds!" Mina exclaimed. He turned red but then leaned in and whispered in my ear, "I need you, Izu. I want you in me." I broke my expression and covered my face with my hands. "Times up! So close. Todoroki is the winner! What did you whisper to him to make him crack at the last second?" Todoroki turned red, "oh nothing important! It was just part of the game! Nothing special!" Mina gave him a weird look but then shrugged. "Fine, if you wont tell. Anyway, Midoriya. What is your deepest, darkest secret?" I sat back a bit. My deepest, darkest secret? Like besides the fact that I have all mights power of course. Oh god, I was so scared. There was only one other thing I had never told anyone before, not even my own mother. "This is going to take a turn," I said, holding my down, staring at the carpet. "What do you mean?" Sero asked. "We all know that before Kacchan and I started dating he used to bully me a lot mentally and physically, especially before class 1-A. I always tried to be positive about it but it sent me spiralling into a depression in 5th grade on out. In 7th and 8th grade, I tried to take my own life 6 times. Each time I failed but I gained liver damage from all the pills I took in such a short amount of time. I just told my mom I was sick and she believed it. I'd never tell him to his face but because of him alone, I've tried to kill myself a total of 9 times. 8 before we started dating and 1 after." I kept my head down. Nobody responded to anything. "Midoriya, I never knew," Jiro finally said. I wiped a tear, "yeah, I know. I've never told anyone besides my doctor obviously. That's why it was my deepest darkest secret. I know this whole game took a huge turn, but I lost the game. Please dont hate me." I felt everyone gather around me and create a giant group hug around me. "Midoriya, it's okay. We are all here for you. Your life hasnt been the easiest and we dont all know exactly how you feel but we wont hate you for having a rough past. We are family, believe it or not. All of Class 1-A is and forever will be. I promise, we are here for you," Mina said. I smiled slightly as they all backed up. "Thank you guys," I said. "Of course," Jiro replied. Just then Mina's phone began to ring and she excused herself. A few minutes later she came back. "I'm sorry to cut this short but our neighbor just told us that Avery is starting to throw things and scream ungodly, scaring her children. We have to go collect our child. It was great to see you all again and it's something we will have to do again soon. Bye!" She said, her and Sero walking out the door. We said our goodbyes and they left. "That is our cue to leave. It was nice to meet with you guys at the same time. I hope you have a good night," Kaminari said. "You too Pikachu," Todoroki responded. We said our goodbyes and they left. They were only over for about an hour. I stood up and stretched as did Todoroki. "So, movie night?" I asked. He didnt answer but instead went up to me and hugged me for like the millionth time. "Hey, what's this for?" I ask. "You've been through so much and still are. I'm just sorry you have to deal with what you have." I smiled. "Don't worry about that now, let's focus on movie night. Now I heard you got spiderman? Let's watch!" He pulled away and smiled. "Gotcha!" He grabbed the disc for the first one (Andrew Garfield version) and also grabbed our cakes with a few juice boxes, popcorn, twizzlers and beef jerky. I carried the snacks as he led me to his room and turned the light on. His room didn't have much decoration in it. He pulled a blanket down from his closet and also held out a t-shirt and pajama pants to me. "What this for?" I asked him. "The blanket is for you to use for tonight and the clothes are for you to change into. It's easier than having to unpack all your things only to pack it right back up. The bathroom is down the hall to the right." I took the clothes and headed out to the bathroom. I quickly changed into the clothes and look in the mirror. The shirt was a bit oversized, but was very comfortable. I also had noticed that it had his very scent on it. It was actually a little calming. I went back into his room to see him shirtless, putting in the movie. "Dont just stand there, go sit. Make yourself comfortable," Todoroki spoke. I closed my apparently opened mouth and sat on the edge of the bed. He pressed play on the disc player and sat on his bed, leaning his back against the wall. "Come on, it's a movie night. Get up here and relax." I moved backwards, feeling the cold air from the fan brush against my skin. "Here's your- oh shit!" He turned from the other side of him, grabbing a blanket and and turning to me, knocking his drink over that was rested on it, spilling it all over the blanket. "Oh my god I'm so sorry! I'll wash it immediately!" "Hey, don't worry about it, it's okay, I'll be fine," I quickly responded. He grabbed the blanket and the now empty cup, "I'll be right back! Let me throw this in the washer first. The remote is next to you, could you please pause it for me? Thanks!" I waited a minute or two until he came back and sat back on the bed under the covers. With that, I hit play on the movie and we started eating our desserts. They were so delicious! Even if they weren't hot anymore, they still tasted so good. Uraraka did a great job. After about 10 minutes I finished mine I placed the container in a trashcan next to the bed and opened a small bottle of Sprite. It was getting quite cold in the room with the fan full blast facing towards us. I felt goosebumps appear on my arms and rubbed them slightly. "Are you cold?" Todoroki asked. "Oh a bit but I'm fine dont worry," I assured. He scooted closer and pulled some of his blanket over me. The blanket was a weighted blanket and it was so soft. "Better?" he asked. "Better," I respond. After the movie we decided to watch a few movies on Netflix. After about the 4th movie, I felt myself feel tired and started to lean on Todoroki. "Are you tired?" I shook my head, "no, I'm fine let's just *yawn* watch the movie." He turned back towards the screen and leaned his head on mine, which was on his shoulder. I felt myself slowly start to drift asleep, into a long and deep rest, one that was severely needed. So much for staying up.
