todoroki sat in the bathtub. he had filled it quite a while ago, the water was no longer hot but lukewarm. he sat and he stared at the ceiling, the sound of static clogged his mind draining out the sound of his arguing parents. he leaned over, picking up his phone and clickingâ
over to spotify. his adapted mind wasnât quite enough to drain out his fathers voice and so he began to play music, placing his phone on a neat folded towel next to the tub. he then sunk down into the warm water, so that only his knees, nose and up were exposed. he sighedâ
deeply, creating bubbles. he watched the bubbles form then breathed in without a thought, the water caught in his throat and he shot up, water splashing onto the marbled floor tiles. he coughed for a moment before catching his breath. he hesitated before sinking back down intoâ
the water. he began to absentmindedly blow the bubbles again before he was interrupted by a muffled thud. his eyes widened, only slightly. it was barely out of the norm for his parents arguments to turn physical, so he just sank even further. his ears entering the water so allâ
he could hear was the sound of the bathtub drain and the muffled music emitting from his phone. after a few minutes like this he sat up and glared down at his pruny hands. he stood up, water droplets falling onto the tiles as he stepped out. he dried off and wrapped himself inâ
a robe. todoroki made his way to his room and shut the door quietly as to not draw attention to the fact that he was out of the bathroom. when they argued his mom would often seek refuge in his room which would make things worse. he sat on the foot of his bed, brows furrowed asâ
the muffled argument went on and on... and on. he grew inevitably frustrated, eyes welling with tears. it happened so often, how had he not grown immune by now? he glanced upwards towards his nightstand, spotting the nesting doll yaoyorozu had gotten for him as a joke on theirâ
first date. a tear fell as he averted his gaze from the gift. it was late, could he text her? theyâd been dating for only a few weeks and todoroki had yet to open up about his home life. he glanced over at his phone, wiping the tears from his eyes. hesitantly, he messaged her.
âyaoyorozu, are you awake?â
it was past 2 am, he knew she wouldnât be awake but on the off chance she was awake, he sent it.
he felt like his head was filled to the brim with dark clouds and she always found a way to be the sun, peaking through. so, selfishly, he reached out.

he laid down, turning the lights out and getting ready for bed. as his eyes shut, his phone buzzed and the screen lit up. he grabbed it.
âi amâ
he was surprised by the response and immediately texted back.
âwhy?â
âiâm home alone and canât sleep... you texted me first, whyâ

he furrowed his brows slightly.
âwhy didnât you text me?â
âthe same goes for you, whyâd you wait until now to text me... well, are you alright shoto?â
âiâm okayâ
âcan you come over?â
he sat up, glancing towards the window. his parents hadâ

âiâm okayâ

he sat up, glancing towards the window. his parents hadâ
quieted down now but that only meant that his mother was most likely sleeping on the couch. he couldnât sneak out through the front.
âsureâ
he sent. he got up and got dressed. he slowly opened up his window, so it wouldnât squeak. it squeaked regardless. he climbed out,â

closing it behind him.
âyo!â a hushed voice called out to him. shoto jumped a bit, turning to face the voice. it was the voice of his brother, natsuo, who was leaning out of his own window. âwhere are you going?â
todoroki walked over to natsuo, âiâm uh,â he paused, âgoingâ

todoroki walked over to natsuo, âiâm uh,â he paused, âgoingâ
to yaoyoâs place...â he answered hesitantly. natsuo narrowed his eyes at the younger boy.
âgive me twenty bucks and i wont tell,â natsuo said lightheartedly, holding out a hand.
âhuh... well i donât have-â
âshoto, iâm kidding,â he said with a chuckle, âwow, that workedâ

pretty easily, it never works on touya,â
âtouya?â
âhe sneaks out to see takami like... all the time,â
âoh,â
âokay, you crazy kid, go ahead,â natsuo said, waving him off.
âoh, okay, see you later,â shoto said as natsuo disappeared back into his room, shutting the window.

shoto followed his phones gps to momoâs home, it wasnât too far away but it definitely wasnât around the corner. as he walked on, the houses got bigger and bigger and more fortified. eventually he arrived.
âwoah,â he mumbled. the house was huge, a metal gate surrounding it.

he texted her that he was outside to which she replied,
âk <3â
k? he thought. k... she mustâve made a typo. sheâs home alone and making typos, she must be very distressed.
âhello, shoto,â he heard her familiar voice from the other side of the gate. he looked up from hisâ

âhello, shoto,â he heard her familiar voice from the other side of the gate. he looked up from hisâ
phone. she was leaning onto the gate, peaking her face through the bars. her moonlit raven hair swept behind her shoulders. she was dressed in a black matching silk tanktop and shorts set. he had never really seen her in anything other than formal clothes or their school uniform.
she looked beautiful. she pressed her face between the bars, squishing her cheeks.
âwhatâs the password?â she teased.
âum, do i have to type it on the pinpad over there?â he asked gesturing towards the number pinpad at the end of the gate. she narrowed her eyes playfully, usedâ

to his airheaded replies.
âyes... but you have to yell out the numbers as you type them,â she said. it clicked that she was only teasing him and he decided to play along.
âoh!â he walked over to the pinpad. âo-p-e-n,â he spelled out as he pressed random numbers.

âwait! shoto, donât actually press the buttoââ
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
a loud beeping sound rang from inside the house, yaoyorozu let out a yelp, scrambling to get to the pinpad. she reached her hand through the gate and entered the correct code. the beeping stopped and the gateâ

began to open.
âtrying to wake the neighbors huh?â she joked with a laugh.
âah, sorry,â he said as he walked through the open gate. she smiled softly at him and he felt his chest grow warm. he averted his eyes from her to the ground.
âcâmon,â she said, taking his hand inâ

âcâmon,â she said, taking his hand inâ
hers. she led him to the house as the gate closed behind them. he examined the house as they entered, it was dark and cold. not in temperature but in feeling, nearly everything was white and the rooms were huge. how could momo bare to be here alone so often. she continued toâ
lead him up the curved stairwell to her room. she let go of his hand, twirling around to face him.
âyou can sleep there,â she gestured towards a two person sofa on the opposite side of the room. âis that okay?â
â...why canât i sleep with you?â he asked without hesitation.

her face grew visibly red, âwell, i didnât think- i donât know, well- i wouldnât mind, my bedâs quite big,â she rambled for a moment before regaining her composure. âsure,â she said calmly.

he smiled slightly, making his way over to the bed. he got into bed, covering himselfâ
with the blanket. she followed, coyly, she couldnât help but feel flustered. she sat onto the bed, looking over at him. his eyes were already shut. he looked soft and at peace, which made her wonder why he had texted her in the first place. she laid down, facing his back.
she reached out, her hand moving before the thoughts of consequence reached her. she traced her fingers along his back, feeling him tense up, then relax.
âshoto?â she said in a soft and hushed tone.
âhm?â
âare you really alright?â she said, tracing up along his back.
âshoto?â she said in a soft and hushed tone.
âhm?â

she flattened her palm onto his back, grazing his up into his hair. she began to brush her fingers gently through his hair. he gulped.

are you /really/ alright? it felt as though he had been waiting for her to ask that for so long. the mixture of his built up emotion and theâ
feeling of her comforting touch was enough to bring him back to tears.
âi...â he began, then paused. âi donât know,â he said, the tears fell, without a sound. he sniffled, she popped up at the sound, âi want to be, badly,â
âoh, baby, are you crying?â she closed the distanceâ

âoh, baby, are you crying?â she closed the distanceâ
between them, wrapping her arms around him. she pulled him close and he raised a hand to meet hers. he felt embarrassed by the fact that he was letting himself cry out of nowhere, but he knew that he needed to and that she wouldnât think anything less of him. it felt easier for
him to tell others to let it out than it was for him to take his own advice.
she pressed her cheek against his. they were silent for a moment, taking in each others warmth. the silence wasnât awkward and he felt safe.
âi feel trapped,â he finally spoke. he turned to face her.

âi donât like to complain because... it could be worse,â he said softly with a sniffle. âi have fuyumi and natsuo... and sometimes touya,â he continued, he couldnât bring himself to look momo in the eye.
âyou shouldnât think that way, you shouldnât feel like expressing the wayâ
âyou shouldnât think that way, you shouldnât feel like expressing the wayâ
you feel is complaining, because it isnât,â she whispered. âit could be worse but it also could be better and you deserve better,â she said, leaning in to press a soft kiss in between his eyes. âdo you want to talk about it? whatever happened?â he finally looked up, their eyes
meeting. her eyes sparkled, glossy from tears. she was crying, watching him hurt.
ânot yet... iâm sorry,â he replied. she placed a hand onto his cheek, wiping away his tears.
âdonât be,â
todoroki couldnât help but feel selfish when he spoke, at least he had his family around.

yaoyorozuâs parents never seemed to be home from what he could tell.
âdonât you get lonely here?â he whispered, as if speaking any louder would break the spell they were under.
âsome nights,â she admitted. todoroki reached out to place a hand on her cheek as well. he leaned in

âi could come visit often,â he suggested. âitâd... kind of solve both of our problems,â he said. âitâd get me out of the house and you wouldnât have to be alone,â
she smiled warmly, âiâd like that, shoto,â she said then pressed her
