Cold..! 

It took him by surprise, the fingers reaching for his own - but he didn’t react with disgust. A subtle twitch of the shoulder, maybe, but he spied Shoto through the corner of his eye. After what happened outside, he’s sure gotten bold! 

EXHAUSTION SEEPING WITHIN EYES of gold, drip drying as graceless motion leads him inside of the office – tired is simply not strong enough an adjective to describe his current state of mind. The previous mission endured is nothing catastrophic ( and, in fact, they managed to complete it without a death ), but the toll it took in order to save a critically wounded civilian was, and always will be, hard onto the young hero. He is sure, by one, that the blood in his jacket will be difficult to rid of; secondly, he is sure that the emergency overhauling of a limb once snagged beneath rubble will function flawlessly so long as the pain of reassembling wares off.

But the process – and the shrieking –

Plotted and discussed with @hxroics, just posting some data about my Todoroki:

Name: Shojirou (”He who carries flame”)

The ‘older’ twin by scant minutes

Like Shouto, shares burn scars across the temple rather than fully around and on the eyes (from protecting one another from Rei)

Much more physically and vocally aggressive than Shouto, tends to leap down people’s throats and perceives bad intentions first rather than giving others the benefit of the doubt/defaulting fellow humans to ‘inherently kind/caring/good’

Physically near identical to Shouto, except their features are mirrored (hair and eye heterochromia are reversed)

Shares borderline unhealthy co-dependency with his twin since they managed to survive and endure thanks to each other, but he’s also more noticeably resistant to the concept of accepting that he and Shouto are allowed to have separate lives and interests

On a related note, sense of self and self-worth stems heavily from being his twin’s ever vigilant guardian/protector, so not feeling ‘needed’ anymore as they grow up and develop more differences bothers him deeply- He isn’t sure what he wants or who he really is apart from Shouto and wants that sort of dynamic back no matter what he might say to the contrary

Less forgiving in general, Shouto remains very attached and forgiving of Rei while Shojirou’s faith in all adults and authority figures pretty much evaporated and he strongly believes they can only ever trust or rely on each other from an emotional standpoint

❦ ⤏ ‶ @hxroics 〟 ⤎ ❦ thank you for your sacrifice

     What world of pain has he found himself in? It brings a tear to her eye to think of what has happened to him, what she could have prevented. Her slippers slide across the tile as she moves closer to him. WIth shock weighing down, down, down, it feels as though her legs are no stronger than limp noodles. Caution drives the halting motion of her hands, ‘til they eventually brush upon his arms. 

     ( It would be too much to hold him, to drag him into a hug and keep him there and keep him safe. Rei can’t risk alarming him. Don’t scare him away. If there is anything he deserves, it is all the goodness in the world. )

“Did you hit your head or somethin’?” The wording and tone do little to paint a picture of concern, and it’s true Mikumo is more confused (and mildly irritated) than concerned per-se...but it really was beginning to look like something was wrong with his classmate.

Looking at him like he’d sprouted a second head, like he was the one acting strange (Mikumo wasn’t the one calling him ‘Midoriya’ when that wasn’t even close to his name. I mean, sure, it wasn’t like they were best friends or anything but Todoroki could at least have the courtesy to remember his name.)

“Listen, we’re gonna be late for class so if you need to see Recovery Girl tell me so I can let Aizawa know, the last thing I need is a citation.” 

He was stupid to have assumed Izuku knew how to love at all. However, Shoto didn’t know very much about the other’s early life other than the issue with being quirkless for most of it. He knew that All Might - for definite - wouldn’t have shown Izuku any kindness, one of the reasons he hated the man.

“Izuku...” Quiet, sad - but not full of pity, rather.. He was sad for the other. “I didn’t realise.” Hesitance in his movements, he stepped forward, pulling the other into a gentle embrace. “I’m sorry, I should have thought for a moment.”

(but i never do)

“I’ll tell you what love is like.” Shoto, at least, knew much of how to love. His siblings, his father - they’d surrounded him with care since he was eight years old. That was when the family had cut his mother out completely, a couple of years after she scarred his face for not being good enough.

(and i never will be enough)

“Love is.. Love is when you want to be around someone. They consume a lot of your thoughts, sometimes. You’re curious about them, you always want to know how they’re feeling because.. you want to be the cause of their smiles, you want to banish their sadness.”

(even if they’re beautiful when they cry)

“You always want to be around them. You might want to touch them, too, hold their hand and such, but not everyone does.. It’s more, you want to know they’re there, that you’re not dreaming.”

(but the only love you ever gave was in a dream)

“You sometimes think about leaving, if it all feels hopeless. You think of leaving because it’s... it’s  easier than knowing they don’t love you- Running away is easier than losing them because you cared or.. or waiting for them to leave you like everyone else.” And maybe that was more personal than a generalisation of love.

(but everyone will leave me in the end)

“Your heart beats fast, you.. feel flustered around them, a lot of the time, and that only gets worse if they decide they want to compliment them. You feel like you want to protect them from the world, you want them to be safe.”

(but you would never want that for me, would you?)

“You want to be better because they’re inspiring to you, or maybe because you want them to be impressed with you. You want them to only want you, too, to never look at anyone else the same way you look at them.”

(you never looked at me as if i was special)

“You want to keep them with you, but.. if you truly love someone, you’re willing to let them go, no matter how much you love them. You’ll spend years chasing after them, even if you know you’ll never have a chance, that they’ll never feel the same way..”

(you’ll never love me)

“In the most simple terms, love is wanting to leave, but staying because you can’t bear to live without them.”
