Mistakes

Chapter 4

~Time-Skip: 1 Week~

'Knock, Knock'

Midoriya dragged his tired body from his bed and slunk off to the door, figuring it was just Mineta coming to bother him for more advice on how to talk to girls. He almost squeaked in surprise when he found Todoroki standing there.

Before he could even start a greeting, Shoto had a hand on his chest and was pushing him back into the room, following him in silently. Todoroki then gripped Izuku's shirt tightly, yanking him forward and into a crushing kiss.

Midoriya felt so conflicted from the sudden assault. Todoroki had barely said a word to him or anyone else since the morning after he'd helped the teen with his fever. Now he was suddenly in his room and sticking his tongue deep into his mouth.

Izuku hated that everything had gone so wrong between them after such a passionate night, but Shoto kept running his hands up his sides and nipping at his lips. It was almost like he forgot how much he'd been hurt the first time.

Completely drunk on Todoroki's presence, he threw his arms around his neck and returned the affection feverishly, moaning in contentment. He soon felt his back get slammed into his bedroom wall, the air getting knocked out of his lungs in the most pleasant way possible.

Midoriya shuddered as Shoto bit down his neck once more, still pinned to the wall by the larger teens body. He was panting heavily, already hard with arousal and need but he wanted more. Todoroki seemed to read his mind once again and kissed him deeply, slipping his hand down the front of his pants and rubbing slowly.

"Mnng…" he moaned into Todoroki's lips, his hips jerking forward for more friction when one of the boy's thumbs slid over the tip.

All at once, the wonderful feeling Shoto's fingers were giving him left, but he didn't want to open his eyes to see what was happening. He didn't have to wait long to find out though, because soon he was twisted around completely.

Midoriya gasped as his pants were pushed off his slender hips. There was a slight pause, everything stilling in the room aside from their continued heavy breathing. He felt freezing breath ghosting over the back of his neck followed by warm lips, the sensation sending shivers and goosebumps down his spine.

"May I keep touching you, Izuku?" Shoto whispered, licking the back of his ear gently.

Izuku shuddered again, his eyes fluttering closed from the deep sultry tone of Todoroki's voice. He nodded quickly, unable to get his tongue to work now that he wasn't kissing the boy he loved. Just hearing the dual user's belt coming undone made his legs weak with desire.

"Ah!" he hissed, gritting his teeth as Shoto slowly pushed inside him. It stung, the burning pain creeping up his spine, but there was pleasure too. The dual user was gripping his manhood again, jerking his hand quickly. Midoriya pressed back against Todoroki, letting him know he wanted more.

"Brace yourself against the wall" Shoto ordered, moving to hold the teen's hips solidly.

Once Midoriya did what he'd been told, Todoroki breathed in a shaky breath and pulled out nearly all the way before thrusting back up roughly, the force causing his lover to jolt forward. He jerked him back again, starting a fast pace.

"F-fuck…" Izuku panted, biting his lip right after to keep himself from screaming in pleasure. Shoto had hit his prostate on the first try, sending burning pleasure all throughout his body. He loved the way the larger teen held him close and pounded up into him, the way he moaned and panted huskily into the crook of his neck.

Izuku arched his back, pressing his chest and nails into the wall so that Shoto could have better leverage. He could hear Shoto gasp slightly at the new angle and let out a groan of his own, the pleasure he was feeling quickly building in his stomach.

Todoroki hissed hotly, pulling Izuku back into him and shuddering with one last snap of his hips. The smaller teen threw his head back onto his lover's shoulder, gasping out his name as he came.

Midoriya's legs gave out right after his orgasm finished crashing through him, but Todoroki's strong arms tightened around him and kept him from falling, holding him close to his chest as they both panted for air. He rubbed his sweat covered forehead against the wall and smiled in relief. It felt so good to be held by the dual user again.

Izuku let Todoroki maneuver him in his arms until he was off his feet and being carried back to his bed. The two laid there comfortably for several minutes, wrapped up in each other's arms. Midoriya was about to tilt his head up to give Shoto a sweet kiss when the teen moved and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Deku asked nervously, quickly sitting up. He already felt tears building in his eyes as another wave of pain tore into his heart.

Todoroki straightened his clothes and redid his belt as he walked away, calling out over his shoulder once he'd crossed the room and opened the door. "I'm going to go back to my room so that you could get some rest; we have class tomorrow."

"W-wait!" Midoriya pleaded, his heart pumping wildly. Todoroki paused and looked back at him with an unreadable expression, his hand still on the knob. "P-please... Will you just stay with me for a little while longer..."

"If that's what you want I'd be happy to..." Shoto responded, shutting the door. He moved across the room and crawled back onto the bed silently right after.

Midoriya bit his lip and shook his head, not liking the way his lover had responded. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to!"

Todoroki wrapped his arms around the teen and hugged him tightly. "Don't overthink this, Izuku... I said I'd be happy to stay if you wanted me to."

Midoriya couldn't help but overthink everything that was happening. Did Shoto mean that he wanted to stay, or was he just humoring him? Part of him didn't care either way anymore. He was so in love with the dual user that he was already hoping for another night like this one even if it was brief and fleeting.

~Time-Skip: Next Day~

Midoriya's body burned with every step he took, feeling like he'd gone several rounds with All Might in his beefed-up form. In actuality, he'd just been trying to perfect his use of One For All and was feeling the side effects of his efforts along with soreness from his night with Todoroki.

Of course, the dual user hadn't even said a word to him all day and had even sat alone at lunch looking gloomy and distant. While Shoto had agreed to stay with him for a bit after their last love-making session, it had been tense since he wasn't sure what the boy was thinking.

He sighed as he finished taking a long hot shower, hating that it didn't help how his bones creaked and muscles strained to keep him upright. The rest of his classmates weren't fairing much better, all retreating to their rooms as they were too exhausted to even complain about how Aizawa was secretly evil and wanted them to suffer.

Without thinking anyone was around to see, he let himself limp down the hall, only to have a sharp pain rip up one of his legs and leave him falling face first to the floor.

Two strong arms caught him from behind just as his knees grazed the ground though, stopping him. He smiled to himself despite his embarrassment and internal turmoil, easily able to tell who it was by how it felt to be held by them. Somehow, Todoroki always seemed to catch him just before he fell.

"Thanks, Shoto… Sorry I'm such a clutz…" Midoriya hummed awkwardly as he was helped back to his feet.

"You didn't trip, Izuku. If you are feeling this much pain you should go and see Recovery Girl."

The smaller male chuckled and rubbed the back of his head, not bothering to argue but clearly not agreeing to go and bother the elderly woman either. He yelped slightly when Shoto sighed and picked him up, twisting them around to go back to the elevator.

"What are you doing?" Izuku squeaked, his muscles screaming as he tried to struggle out of the teen's firm grip. "I'm fine! I promise it was just an accident. Recovery Girl will kill me if I go back there… I'm just sore! Come on Shoto it isn't a big deal I-"

"We're going to my room, please stop wiggling around. You're quite a bit heavier than you look am I'm going to drop you." Todoroki cut in, extremely tempted to freeze the boys' limbs if he didn't comply. He let out an icy breath when Midoriya settled down, glancing at his still bright red face.

They fell into silence for the rest of the walk, each consumed with their own thoughts. But once they got into Shoto's room, Izuku began to fidget nervously, his eyes flickering around like he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do.

Todoroki had sat him down on the ground instead of the bed and kneeled down beside him. "Do you need help taking off your clothes?" he asked.

Midoriya sputtered in embarrassment, his face becoming even redder. "I uhm… Well, I mean…" he tried to explain, stumbling over his words as he played with the hem of his shirt. "I'm still kind of sore. Does he have lube this time? Should I ask? Are we going to have s-sex more frequently now or—"

"I suppose you can keep them on if you want; it might become uncomfortable when my ice starts to melt though…" Todoroki offered, gently pushing on the teen's chest until his back touched the floor.

"Oh!" Midoriya squeaked. "You're going to use your ice to help me feel better?"

Shoto's brows furrowed in confusion, his eyes flickering around at nothing in particular. "That was my intention?"

Izuku wanted to scream at himself he felt so flustered. When they were neck deep in chaos and fighting villains, their teamwork was flawless. As friends, they had inside jokes and could talk without any words.

The two times that Shoto and him had become intimate, it was like the dual user could read his mind about what he wanted… until right afterward. As soon as they entered post-lover territory the flawless communication they usually had completely broke down, and it was starting to affect every interaction they had.

Midoriya suppressed a pained groan as he wiggled out of his shirt and basketball shorts, stretching out and relaxing on the soft mats of Todoroki's floor right after. He tried to school his face as well as he could, not wanting to make the situation any more uneasy than it already was.

"Are you sure you're alright with this? You seemed nervous before." Shoto stated, his right hand hovering over the teens toned stomach patiently.

Izuku wanted to scoff but kept that urge and his near eye roll in check, fluttering his lids closed. "I'm a nervous person in case you forgot. It will be fin—SSST! That's so c-cold…"

"I'll heat you back up in a few minutes… " Todoroki responded. He poked the boy's cheek gently, smirking down at him. "I thought you said you didn't mind the cold..."

Midoriya's teeth chattered as he gave the teen a half-hearted glare, pouting out his lower lip when Shoto chuckled at him. The dual user was making light banter, which was a good sign. It made him feel so much more comfortable—made him feel like they were making progress and that he could bring up what he wanted to say soon. He kept the conversation going, wanting them both to be as carefree as possible before they got to the heavy stuff that needed to be said.

"You're so lucky your quirk doesn't require so much physical activity. Aizawa keeps reminding me that I have to cause microtears in my muscles so that they heal back stronger but I think he's full of it. I didn't even feel this worn out when I was training for the UA entrance exam."

"Hmmm… well, I guess that makes me the perfect sidekick for you until you build up a tolerance to your quirk. Just tell me when your muscles are sore and I'll soothe them for you." Todoroki responded, using his left hand to melt the ice and heat his lover back up.

Izuku's chest tightened painfully, his heart almost stopping. "Does he really mean that? I know he came to see me a second time and we are talking now but, he hardly said anything to me all day!"

Midoriya's green eyes flickered up to Todoroki's, finding them full of longing but also concealed fear. It made his heart clench some to see that look on the teen's handsome face. He sat up and slowly twisted to his knees, making sure to never break eye contact. "I have to do this now; no more excuses!"

"Shoto... I... I know I'm usually really good at analyzing a situation but what's going on between us has me feeling so confused."

"I don't want to talk about it," Shoto replied, the lightheartedness he'd been showing dwindling into anxiety.

Midoriya shook his head in frustration, refusing to back down this time or be brushed off with hurtful explanations that he simply couldn't believe Todoroki meant. "We have to talk about it! If all you want from me is sex then that's fine and I can probably handle it, but I still want to be friends with you after—"

Shoto looked like he might cry, his usually schooled face cracking under Midoriya's genuine and desperate gaze. "Izuku," he interrupted, "please stop."

The mossy-haired teen did just that, his jaw snapping shut at the sight of Todoroki almost in tears. This was not what he'd thought would happen at all and he knew that if Shoto was this close to tears with how skilled he was at hiding his emotions, the true magnitude of what he was really feeling was probably so much worse.

They sat before each other in silence for several minutes, the air almost suffocating them with its tenseness. Eventually, Todoroki let out an icy breath and averted his misty gaze, his hands clutched tightly in his lap. "It was not my intention to make you feel like I was using you, Izuku. I'm so sorry…"

"Shoto…" Izuku murmured, reaching out to pull him into a hug. "I just said it's okay… I just don't want to lose you… I… I love you so much…"

Todoroki shook his head on Midoriya's shoulder, the tears he'd been fighting finally falling and soaking his freckled skin. "No, you don't. You and Ochaco like each other and everyone says that you're going to get together eventually."

Izuku pulled back quickly, his mind reeling. "What are you talking about?" he gasped in exasperation. "Shoto! We've slept together twice! Why in the world would you think that Ochaco and I are getting together after that!"

Shame and equal confusion covered Todoroki's face. He dropped his head low and tensed his jaw, unable to express what he wanted to right away. "You… you're so generous and kind… I th-thought…" he stumbled out.

Realization hit Izuku like one of Bakugo's explosions. He readjusted his grip to Todoroki's cheeks and pulled him forward once more, crashing his lips into the teens with desperation. After a moment, he returned to hugging him tightly, internally cursing Endeavor for warping Shoto's perception of how people interacted to such an extent.

"You've got it all wrong, Shoto!" he whispered, petting the boy's soft hair. "Ochaco and I aren't together and we never will be… I wanted to be with you this whole time but you never showed any interest so I just let everyone gossip about us. If I'd known that you had feelings for me I swear I would have been more insistent that there was nothing between her and I earlier."

Todoroki hiccupped and melted into the embrace, wrapping his own arms around Izuku tightly. "I... I'm so sorry I made you think I didn't want you! I tried for so long to ignore how I felt about you and then when we met in the common room I just… I wanted just one night with you if I could have it… I thought it was the right thing to do to just try and go back to the way things were but I was weak and came to see you again last night. You asked me to stay but you seemed so uncomfortable I swear I thought you were just humoring me again… Please forgive me…"

Izuku smiled and rested his forehead on Shoto's, cupping his cheeks gently. This had been a huge misunderstanding brought on by Endeavors damaging influence and his own inability to get over his nervousness. "I'll always forgive you… Always."

Todoroki's response was to kiss him deeply, the action slow but fast, desperate but calm. It was everything Midoriya wanted and so much more. They pulled back just long enough to stare into each other's misty eyes, smiling.

"I love you, Izuku."

"I love you too, Shoto."
