Todoroki POV
I open up the door to my new dorm, and see Midoriya busy on the school laptop. It looks like he's watching herotube, unsurprisingly. I see him look over to me and give me a smile. But ssomething seems off, but I can't tell what, which annoys me to no end, with his smile but I shrug it off. This is Midoriya we're talking about. He is always happy. He's like a ball of sunshine.
I realize that he hasn't eaten dinner yet. I ate dinner quickly by myself, as I don't care, no that's too harsh, I would not initiate a conversation, with most of the class. Yaoyorozu tries, but I just can't talk to most.
Except Midoriya. He, I can talk to. I can talk more than usual, which is none, But usually he's with Uraraka, and I can't help but get an ugly feeling, one that's hard to describe, whenever I see them together chatting.
I look over to midoriya again, and I see him deep in thought, slightly muttering, writing down stuff in his journal. It brings a slight warmth to my face as I find that I like how he looks. But I look away quickly before I get caught staring, because even I know that staring is creepy and frowned upon in society.
I go over to Midoriya, and say, "You should eat. You have barely moved since I left."
I see him tense up, but I can not figure out why.
"I d-didn't not-otice you so cl-close to me."
I just stand there, not knowing what to say to that. It turns awkward, so I just say, "Are you going to get dinner? It is not healthy to skip dinner." I say, in my stomach knowing that something is wrong. But as I said earlier, it's Midoriya.
He says, "You're right, I'll grab something to eat." he says. I see him grab something off his desk and he gets up and leaves the room.
I'm usually respect a person's privacy, but something inside me says to look in on his desk. I see a CD case on his desk. It's of an American band I've actually heard of called Three Days Grace. I only know about it because of my sister, who listens to it occasionally. I make a point in my head to ask my sister about it, and continue to let my eyes run across the desk. I see open bandaids, but I figure that he may have hurt himself during training, it would not be the first.
I hear someone go up the hallway, so I go over to my desk and pull out my school issued laptop. I log myself in and open up a message service I use with my sister. I ask her about the band, and she says that the album I found has some really dark songs. she cautions me to watch him, cause he might not be as okay as he seems.
But that's ridiculous, right?
