Chapter 21- Waiting
Midoriya's POV
What was I saying? I don't regret a thing. Shut up.
It's not like I was forced to do this...
I was the one who became what I am today.
I have a mission, and I have to remind myself of that. I've been able to handle all the sound for a few years now, so I'm fine.
Completely and utterly, okay.

No one's POV
Todoroki stands outside with his head thrown against the brick wall of the building. He takes deep breaths and looks up at the night sky. His breath coming out of a foggy cloud. It's a bit chilly outside tonight... but he refuses to warm himself up. Right now, he can hardly feel the cold.
He has has hands shoved into his pockets, and his eyes were glossed over. Thinking.
It was a mystery to him how their simple conversation had even elevated that quickly, and he felt like it was his fault. He had known that everything going on wasn't perfect... why did he push? All he had done is upset everyone.
But then he began thinking about all the other things.
Why had Midoriya left?
And then he remembered that it had been his fault.
There was more to the story than was told...
The lash out... It hadn't been only about his name... there was more... so much more...
It really did make Todoroki seem like a monst-
"Todoroki?"
Todorki's shoulders jerked in surprise and then he look over to where the voice came from. There he saw Momo Yaoyorozu (Her name makes me want to hurl myself off a fucking bridge).
"Yaoyorozu. What are you doing out here?" He pushed his body off the wall and stood straight looking at her. She put her fingers together and her face glowed with worry.
"Well... I just wanted to see if you were okay. You ran out so quickly." Her eyes practically screamed with sympathy and curiosity. "You looked so upset."
Todoroki noticed her cheeks were flushed, and he couldn't be entirely sure if that was from the cold or something else.
"I'm-"
"Yeah I know." She interrupted. "You're supposedly okay, but you've been acting so strange lately, and I know it;s not my place to impose but you-"
A halt in her voice, as if she was tearing up. The half and half boy couldn't quite understand why she was tearing up for him. He didn't deserve the sorrow form her. She was such a talented and beautiful girl, but her she was crying over him. Or at least that's what he thought.
"You mean a lot to me!" She shouted with tears in her eyes. Todoroki blinked. He didn't need this right now. He stepped up to her, where she was wiping her eyes form the tears that had threatened to escape. He placed a hand on her shoulder and looked down at her.
"You're fine." He said bluntly. "I'm fine. Everything is fine. Stop worrying so much about me."
"But you-"
"No buts. You have to worry about you studies so you can be a hero, right? No purpose in dwelling on how I'm feeling." All he wanted was to be left alone. He needed to think...
She was quiet for a second. "You should come inside. It's cold."
"I can keep myself warm. I just need to think about a few things and then... I'll be in. Maybe we can grab a cup of hot chocolate form the kitchen or something and talk then." He didn't want to talk. He knew he didn't want to talk but there was only one way to get her to leave.

About three years ago
"You like Todoroki!" Mine yelled with excitement.
"N-no!" Momo's face was flushed and she shook her hands wildly.
"Don't worry! I won't tell." Mine said with a wink.
Even back then she knew that Todoroki didn't like her. And she knew that wouldn't change...

Present
"Yaoyorozu?"
Momo blinked and stared in the different colored eyes of Shoto Todoroki.
"Oh, uh, yeah! I'll run inside and make it. Don't keep me waiting." She stuttered out.
"Of course not." He turned around and walked away, leaving her standing for a minute. She sighed and then turned back towards the school building. She was ready to go and await the return of Todoroki. Maybe she can get him to go back to the way he was before...
All those years ago.

"What the FUCK do you mean the brat is at UA?! Is he trying to get our asses caught?! Fucking dumb ass. Fucking stupid piece of shitty ass broccoli-"
"Shigaraki, I am only telling you what I gathered from his message." Kurogiri said with a slight sigh. "Don't over react."
"But how in the FUCK did he even do that?! Who does this kid think he is?! We've been trying to do this for years and he just... Walked in?!" Tomura made huge hand gestures of anger and exasperation.
"Please watch your language-"
"Oh for fuck sake, how can I in this situation?! Fuck fuckity fuck fuck, we might actually be able to attack UA at the hands of a bush!"
"I told you Deku-kun could do it, Shigraki!" Himiko Toga said with excitement.
"Shut up you!" Tomura yelled at her.
Dabi held the phone in his hand and read the screen shotted message. "Kids got spunk, even if he is an insufferable bitch."
"Dabi, don't be such a meanie! You told me yourself that you respect Deku-kun as a villain!"
Dabi shot her a look. "Shut up, Toga." And then she stuck her tongue out at him.
"All of you need to stop acting like children, we're all adults for the most part." Kurogiri said, putting a hand against where his forehead would be.
"What are you implying? We just go get him?" Dabi asked, crossing his arms.
"But he said not to in the message!" Himiko pointed out.
"Well when does he ever listen to us? Why should we listen to him?"
"We could get caught!"
"Not if what he said about the security is true."
Kurogiri slammed a glass down onto the bar counter. "Shush!" He said harshly. "Now, what's the plan, Tomura Shigaraki?
Tomura brought his hand up and scratched underneath his chin, reopening cuts and scrapes already there. Blood seeped out of them and onto his finger tips. He stared at his fingers, at the blood.
He sighed heavily knowing that the best choice isn't the one he wanted. He hated, HATED being a sitting duck.
It made him upset.
But... Sometimes you just gotta put your trust in a piece of shit kid.
"We wait."
And that was the final verdict. The villains would wait until they got word from Deku to do anything... assuming he doesn't take to long. If he does...
They may be forced to take matters into their own hands.
