Todoroki's P.O.V

Midoriya finishes wrapping up my wounds and helps me off the counter and to his room. While walking down the hall, we see a light turn on behind us. I turn around to see Ms. Midoriya standing in the doorway

"Izuku? Why are you home so late?" She asks. I feel Midoriya tense up next to me and I hear her chuckle. "Did you forget your keys again?" She asks with a smile.

"I-Yeah, kinda," Midoriya responds, flustered. Cute.

"Hello, Todoroki. What are you doing here?" I freeze hearing the question. How do I respond? How do I say 'Oh, yeah. My dad just stabbed me in the leg, kicked me out, and now I'm dating your son'.

Before I could say anything, Midoriya speaks for me, "We are working on a project together for class. We didn't notice how late it was so I offered to let him stay here. When we got here, I-I finally noticed I didn't have my keys, so I came in through the window." I just nod along, trying to look like I know what's going on.

"Oh, well, you could have texted me that, Izuku. I would have made some space for him and had some food ready for you," Mrs. Midoriya says, even though I know she is sick.

"Yeah, sorry. We're just gonna head to my room. Goodnight mom! Feel better!" Midoriya bids goodnight and takes me to his room.

I sit on his bed while he goes through his closet. "I might have an extra futon around here somewhere," Midoriya mumbles, throwing unwanted pillows and blankets behind him. I smile fondly at his concentration. "Damn, I don't see anything. I must've gotten rid of it. Maybe Mom still has it somewhere. Or maybe she gave it to Tsuki. I can ask Auntie if Tsuki still has it. It could be in the storage unit..." Midoriya started to ramble on about possible locations of his futon. While I found it cute, I could tell he was starting to stress out.

I stand up and walk over to him. "I can sleep on the floor with some blankets. It's fine, Midoriya," I reassure. This breaks him out of his trance.

"What? No! You're injured! I'll take the floor, you take the bed. I don't want you to be uncomfortable. You don't want to stress the wound," Midoriya says as he lays out a few blankets and pillows on the ground. "And no, you cannot convince me otherwise." He states as he goes to grab his pajamas.

I look through my bag to see Fuyumi packed me a set of pajamas. I smile and watch Midoriya go to the bathroom to get changed. I decide to stay here and change. I took off my clothes and was able to put on my pajama pants before Midoriya walked in.

"Just letting you know, I have glow-in-the-dark star stickers on my-" Midoriya starts but is cut off, seeing me shirtless in his room. I watch him blush profusely and cover his face. "I-I'M S-SO SORRY! I SHOULD'VE KNOCKED!" He shouts into his hands. I put on my shirt and laugh as I walk over to him. I grab his hands and pull them away from his face. I kiss his lips with a smile.

"It's fine. We are dating now, so I don't mind you staring," I say with a wink. This causes him to blush more and gently push me away as he makes his way to the blankets on the floor. I get into the bed and he turns off the light.

"Goodnight Todoroki-kun,"

"Goodnight Midoriya,"

I wake up in the middle of the night from a nightmare about my dad. I sit up and rub my face while looking at the clock on the nightstand. 2:45. Shit, I don't know if I can go back to sleep. I sigh as I lay back down, looking at the glow-in-the-dark star stickers on the ceiling.

Before I can go back to sleep, I hear shuffling from the floor. I look over the bed to see Midoriya shivering and moving around on the floor. I watch him open his eyes and sigh in frustration.

"Can't sleep?" I ask, which startles Midoriya. He looks up at me with wide eyes.

"What are you doing awake?" He asks. I shrug.

"Nightmare. You?" I ask, he chuckles nervously and rubs the back of his neck.

"The ground is a little uncomfortable. I'm not used to it," he answers. I open my mouth to speak but Midoriya doesn't let me, "I-I can get used to it! Don't worry!" He says to make sure I don't try to switch places. I sit up and extend my hand to him. He looks at me confused.

"Well, why don't we share the bed?" I suggest. Midoriya's face goes red as he hesitantly takes my hand and makes his way onto the bed.

"A-Are you sure you won't be uncomfortable? Because I can find another place to sleep! I can try the floor again, I could go to the couch, I could sneak into my mom's bed, I could sleep in my chair, I could..." Midoriya kept rambling on where he could sleep, so I shut him up by kissing him.

"You talk too much sometimes," I say with a smile after I pull away. Midoriya's mouth is wide open, his face is red, and his eyes are wide. I laugh and lay down. I pull him down with me and cuddle close to him.

"T-Todoroki-kun, what are you doing?" He asks, still flustered.

"I saw you were cold while on the floor so I'm warming you up. Do you not like it?" I ask, wanting to make sure he's comfortable.

"No! It's fine! Perfect, even," he replies, snuggling closer to my chest. I smile and kiss his head after I start hearing his soft snores.

"Goodnight, Izuku,"

Time Skip

I'm awoken by the obnoxious beeping of Midoriya's alarm clock. I look over and see 4:30 glaring back at me in bright, red letters. I groan. Why would someone need this much time to get ready?

While lost in thought, I feel the bed shift. I look over to see Midoriya sitting up. "Good morning, Todoroki-kun!" He beams with a bright smile on my face. I smile and sit up as well, my tiredness leaving me as soon as I saw Midoriya's cute bedhead.

"Good morning, Midoriya," I reply in a groggy voice. I go to sit on the side of the bed, holding in a scream as I felt my stab wound stretch out with my thigh. Midoriya stands up and grabs his exercise gear.

"I kinda forgot to change my alarm. I usually wake up at this time to go for a jog," he explains while rubbing the back of his neck. "I can just lift weights this morning."

"You can go for a jo-"

"No! It's fine! Plus, I didn't feel like jogging this morning anyway. It's too foggy outside," he interrupts, reassuring me that he doesn't need to run. I nod and get up, grabbing my phone off the charger. I look down and notice countless texts from my dad. I roll my eyes and shove my phone into my pocket.

"Everything okay?" Midoriya asks. I sigh and nod.

"Yeah, it's just my dad. I don't know why he is even texting me. He kicked me out and he is not one for begging someone to come back," I say. Midoriya's eyes widen in realization.

"That reminds me! We should probably tell my mom about what happened so that you can stay here," he says. I nod and sit back down on the bed, watching my boyfriend work out.

We both make our way to the kitchen to see Mrs. Midoriya putting breakfast on the table.

"Morning, boys!" She gleams, placing down the last plate of eggs and toast.

"Good morning, Mom!" Midoriya responds taking a seat at the table. I give her a small bow before sitting down next to him. We start eating and Midoriya starts to speak.

"So, Mom," Midoriya says to get her attention. She looks up at him and gives a small hum, indicating that she is listening. "W-Well, Todoroki-kun here is probably going to be staying with us for a while," Midoriya says, moving around the scrambled eggs with his fork.

"And why is that?" She asks, looking directly at me.

"Well, you see...Um," Midoriya starts stuttering, not knowing how to say what he wants to say.

"My dad kicked me out," I inform, finishing Midoriya's sentence. Mrs. Midoriya's eyes go wide. "He found out I was gay and, um, did...something to me. He kicked me out afterward. I was sleeping on the street for a night or two before Midoriya let me stay here," I finish, grabbing a piece of toast and scooping some eggs onto it.

"And I was wondering if he could stay here," Midoriya adds.

"Oh, Todoroki. Of course, you can stay here. You can stay as long as you need to," she says, grabbing my hand comfortingly, giving me a soft smile. "If you ever need anything, just tell me, okay?" I nod, smiling back at her.
