City Boy (TodoBaku)

Chapter 16: Trigger

Warning: Suicide attempt, Abuse and cursing (Cursing's already given since... Katsuki)

Shoto Todoroki's Point of View:

Yelling.... noise...... Banging on the door.....Violence....flames

Cuts, scratches..... scars.

Animals....death......and blood.

All of these, are the things that trigger me. I heard them yelling, arguing and fighting. A person was pinned on a wall. Jealousy? Maybe annoyance and anger. He had this grudge of being over protective.... no that's too sugar coated.... maybe Possessive?

I wanted to stop them. I did and yelled at them but I got another attack. Their voices were too hazy. No words was understandable, just this sound ringing and exaggerated deep voice coated around theirs.

I blacked out....

Light, morning light stood out through the curtains. I closed my eyes but even through my eye lids I could feel the warmth. I didn't like it. It reminds me of flames. Burning wood and ash surrounded my imagination when I closed my eyes tightly. Ahh, another nightmare. I was suffocated. My breathing hitched as I held my neck.

"Todoroki! Todoroki! Todoroki wake up!" Yelled by someone. 2 sets of hands were on my shoulder and chest. My eyes opened wide as I cough immensely from that nauseating dream. I held my chest and hit it hard. Dry coughing was heard by my voice as I held back my tears.

I wipe it away immediately and sat back up. My head hurt after that episode of me coughing. "Shit..." I whisper. The head ache remained as I look at the 2 figures present in front of me. "Todoroki, are you alright?" Asked the man with glasses.
"I'm f-ine" my voice got disrupted by a grunt as I grit my teeth. "My throat hurts.." I whisper.

"Here" he said and handed me a glass of water. "Thank you" I said. "Try and refrain from talking." Iida said. I nodded and gulped down the water. I almost chin up with my hand because I almost coughed up my drink. I drank it and proceeded to cough again.

"This disease is annoying" I mutter. "Yes, you have a cold and fever. Your temperature's really high" he said as he examined the thermometer....

Well I feel violated. I looked down at my clothes. It was changed on to new sweatpants and a new hoodie.... "Todoroki... your cuts....do you-" Iida ask until I cut him off. "It's none of your business" I say. "But as Class representative I should acknowledge everyone's health, along with mental health" he said and gave me concerned eyes as he pat my shoulder.

I smack it away "I don't need your help" I say. He grunt and said "You have no say in it. I will help in any way I can" he said. "Then leave" I said coldly. "Just let me take care of your fever and I'll be off your hair" he smiled at me. I roll my eyes and look at the person to my left. "An why is he here?" I said coldly, no emotion could be told unless it was anger.

I glared at him coldly. "Sorry. Sorry we left you to get soaked in the rain. Now your sick. " he cursed to himself. I roll my eyes and said "Nice reply. You really answered my question" I said sarcastically. "Just, just let me help. I won't leave until you forgive me" he said.

I sighed "Your forgiven, now leave" I say and he frowned. I gave my resting bitch face but he Still didn't leave. "Everyone's stuborn...." I curse to myself and got up. "You could've not look into my body. Now ... I feel violated" I say as I embrace myself.

"We didn't do anything malicious to your body while you were unconscious " replied iida instantly. "Wow, I totally believe you" I say sarcastically. He grit his teeth, hiding his annoyance. "If you're getting annoyed just leave. I know you're just forcing yourself in staying here" I say as I go through my prescribed pills.
