His mother has good days and bad days.

On the good days, she's sweet and kind. She greets him with a hand on his cheek and a smile, she asks him how his classes are going, she remembers the friends he mentions and teases him about being popular with the girls. They go for long walks in the facility grounds and she tells him about the plants she's growing in the little space they've let her have, and he ends the visit with a hug, her thin, fragile form in his careful arms, and he wonders at how much smaller than him she is already. On the good days, he leaves with hope and renewed determination to become the best he can be, to show his father that number two isn't just second place and it's a place and a life to be proud of.

This was not a good day.

This was the kind of day where he opened her door and she looked at him for that first second with fear and hatred and sorrow, where her eyes lingered on his left side too long, no matter how much he tried to keep her on his right. This was the kind of day where every response was distracted and her voice too high-pitched and her laughter sharp and strained. This was the day that, when he reached out to stop her from walking in front of a speeding golf cart full of groundskeepers, she flinched from his touch and slapped him across the face.

She'd apologized, horror on her face and heartbreak in her voice, and he'd said it was fine, and he loved her, but he left soon after, hurrying back towards the school dorms where he could just...shut himself away. It was still early on Sunday. Everyone would still be out, or training, and he could have time to put himself back together. His right cheek is still burning from her slap, stinging and red and almost bruised, and it aches with a pain sharper and more real than the phantom ache of his scarred left side. It's a strange feeling. Normally that side doesn't feel hot. Everything is backwards. Everything is backwards, and his chest is tight, and he can feel the tears trying to burn at his eyes, but it's fine, he's almost there--

--and then he rounds the corner of the stairs heading up towards the fourth floor, and almost runs straight into Midoriya, coming down. Todoroki's eyes are wide, almost glassy, and his heart is racing, and it's only a second before he looks away, not quite flinching but all but vibrating with tension.

"...Sorry. I didn't see you there."

His voice is rough, strained, just as tight as his shoulders, and he waits for Midoriya to keep on going, to be tactful or distracted or whatever it is he needs to be, so he can finally make it up that last flight to his own floor and the safety of his room.

Oof, gay panic resumed in full force. How are his eyes so pretty, anyway? The scar on his left side really just makes the teal of his iris brighter, the greyish brown of the other softer in comparison, and Izuku's heart makes a wild bid to escape his chest by way of his mouth. He makes a strangled little chirp of a sound when Shouto groggily mumbles his name, heartbeat trapped in his throat like a tiny bird, beating its wings helplessly against the back of his tongue. He's by no means uncomfortable tangled up in the other, even if he can't remember how they got here hardly at all, but it's A Lot to suddenly wake up to.

He chews on his lower lip. "I don't even remember the weird song all Ariel's sisters sing at the beginning," he admits, but Todoroki is absolutely not imagining him squirming a little closer. Granted, it's in part because he's trying to hide the embarrassed pink darkening his face, but he's still absolutely ducking to hide against his collar again.

Please excuse Izuku as he vibrates into the very stratosphere in gay panic.

"M-me neither!" He's chirping again, voice pitched higher with nerves at how close Shouto is. His hand at his neck, their faces so close, their legs still tangled and bodies fit together. He really did fit comfortably here, but just because it felt right, felt nice, was it, really? "It's embarrassing, you're a lot taller than me. That's probably why I fit well, it's like penguins, their babies are little and sit under them for warmth. Not that I'm a baby, or a penguin, I actually don't like cold weather very much at all." Please help him, he's rambling.

He squirms, not entirely sure what to think of Shouto's continued pawing-- he's flattered, maybe? He keeps saying he likes it, likes how he fits, that he's strong, and the praise is sort of making him anxious, if he's honest, but he likes it. He really likes it, and maybe that's, like he noticed before, the scariest part of it all. He's been so lucky-- given a Quirk, and an amazing one, by his idol, given the chance to attend UA, making it in despite not having good control of himself. Being supported the whole way, helping Shouto learn to use his own power without being stuck thinking of his father.

Getting tangled up in him in his bed, watching a movie, limbs and breath mingling as they discover each other, warm and pliable, comforting one another in ways neither of them really understand, but both gravitate toward anyway. His breath catches in his throat.

"Todoroki-kun," he whispers, craning his neck and pressing his lips to the juncture of his neck and jawline. "...Todoroki-kun." He falls into repetition, saying his name over and over again and kissing his skin, gently, his voice getting thicker as he goes, choked with emotion and something else he can't pinpoint. He's so warm, and they're so close, and he just wants to slot himself flush to his friend's body and really feel him--

--he's reminded of his earlier thought process involving his hands in his pants, and his face and ears flare scarlet, but he stays put, heartbeat stuttering wildly. "I'm not being completely honest with you, and that isn't fair," he breathes, mouth near his earlobe.

His breath shakes, and soon the rest of him follows, and he's winding his arms tighter around the back of Shouto's shoulders to hold onto him. The lips to his neck pull a startled gasp from him, to the shell of his ear cause a strangled whine of a sound, and the embarrassed flush to his skin blooms scarlet, traveling down and disappearing under the collar of his shirt. He feels like Shouto is slowly catching him on fire, the sensation making the hair on the back of his neck stand up and his breath come in short gasps. As an afterthought, he's careful to keep his hips as much detached from their tangle as he can, because at this point he's not sure a boner is out of the question. He holds his shoulders closer, despite himself.

"I've probably liked you, maybe more than just as a friend, for a while now," he admits, and his voice is small. He sounds afraid of the words, pressing his face against the hollow of his shoulder. "Today I was just worried for you, but now... All this, it's not fair unless you know." The shaking to his shoulders becomes constant, like he's cold.

His breathing settles into short hitched breaths that border on hyperventilating when all Shouto has to say at first is a quiet oh, because-- That could mean so many things. An oh from Shouto isn't immediately a bad thing, but he can't read him, he can't figure out what oh means in this regard. Was he grossed out? Did he just permanently destroy their friendship? Did he--

He flinches when Shouto starts talking again, quiet as it is, and he's a little startled he didn't just burst into tears, but it's like he's too shaken up to actually cry, because the very real thought that he's just ruined a friendship he's cherished so much makes him so stressed he feels sick. I guess neither one of us has been totally honest, he says, and it's such a mild statement, it could mean anything, and when he shrinks away to look at him his whole expression goes from drawn up in fear to complete slack-faced shock, because did he really hear that right, just now? I think I've been feeling the same way, he said, right? Izuku makes a wordless little croak of a sound, still shaking like his very bones are trying to escape his skin.

"I-- n-no, no, that's... this... this is really nice, if... If you want to, th-then... then I want to."

"I don't," he breathes, and it's the first thing he's said with confidence since he first started crying in overwhelm before the movie. He's still shaking, and he's nervous beyond belief, but Todoroki's fingers brushing his skin sends a new shiver up his spine and he smiles, even if the expression is wobbly.

He turns his head, brushing his skin against Shouto's, shyly putting his lips to his cheek.

"So are you," he answers, quiet and back to sounding timid when he speaks. His spine curves forward at the hand against it, and he presses back into it, trying to memorize the callouses in his palms. The alternating patterns of his skin, calloused and smooth, probably from perpetual burns. He breathes in, holds his breath, and then Shouto just... asks to kiss him, full stop, and his ears practically steam from how hot they get.

"Oh," he says, and nods as opposed to answering. "I... yeah, that... I'd like that."

His breath stutters, and he has to remind himself to not just draw in a breath and hold it, Shouto's focus on his lips making his chest feel hot and his extremities feel cold in a bizarre bubble of anxiety. It's silly, really, because they both agreed to this, both want it. It's just...

...so...

...much.

He sucks in a sharp breath through his nose when Shouto's lips meet his, his eyelids dropping closed on instinct, and he's pressing back carefully with absolutely no idea of how this is supposed to happen. Does he turn his head? Does he open his mouth? He can feel his eyes get hot behind their lids, but refuses to outright cry over something like this, because it's overwhelming but it's overwhelmingly positive. He pulls back fairly quickly, another sharp breath drawn in, but licks his lips similarly to how Shouto had and presses forward again, this time just in a tap.

...except then he can't quit, and Shouto is stuck with the briefest of little peppered gestures, traveling from the center of his lips to each corner, and then he settles back at the center and lingers, letting his fingers curl around the fabric of his shirt until they shake and his knuckles turn white.

His arms wind tighter around Shouto's shoulders as his hand urges him closer at his spine, and he even gives up on trying to keep his hips away, curling close and truly, wholly fitting himself to Todoroki's front. It's exhilarating as much as it is terrifying, chills running up and down his body with every touch from Shouto's fingers, leaving goosebumps in their wake and a quiet, breathy laugh on his lips when he breaks away to breathe.

As a result, he jolts slightly when Shouto tilts his head and takes his lower lip as he does, startled by the boldness of the gesture, but-- it's not like he minds. He presses his own lips back, returning the gesture by closing his over Shouto's upper lip, but he's having a hard time not smiling, so he can't quite maintain the kiss, bumping their noses together and pulling away again to laugh.

"Your eyelashes are tickling me," he admits, opening his eyes just enough to look at him, his whole face blown a warm scarlet that makes his freckles stand out. He licks his lips again, and he tastes Shouto in a way he didn't expect. His expression goes slack in realization, and the warmth in his face darkens as he pulls his lower lip into his mouth for a moment, not realizing that he's literally savoring the flavor and probably looking unreasonably erotic as he does it. Izuku please be kind, you might make him burst a capillary.

"Don't apologize," he says quietly, bumping his nose against Shouto's again. He doesn't have any idea, no-- especially since he immediately let go of his lip in favor of speaking, and worms closer again to put their foreheads together and thread his fingers into Shouto's hair.

"That'd be nice, I think," he replies, and his voice is quiet, eyes closed. He doesn't know that he wants to bring up that depending on what Shouto means by keep going it could get a little more... physical, because he's not sure he wants to entertain that thought or approach it enough to verbally dignify it. Maybe he'd just... ignore that impulse. "...I like you, Todoroki-kun. A lot." It felt nice to say it, now, not terrifying like it had been before.

He laughs again, under his breath, letting his hands slide to the base of Shouto's neck in his hair, threading together to keep him held close, even if he's clearly not going anywhere. The kiss is met with his own in return, a quiet hum against his lips, and this time he's the first to turn his head and open his mouth against the other teen's. He's still shy, definitely, but he's curious, and you could say he'd like to taste more of Shouto after sucking on his lip a moment ago. He doesn't linger, at first, sort of testing the waters with smudging a few open-mouthed kisses to Shouto's lips, and then he draws away just to look at him.

"...what, um. When you say keep going..." He doesn't quite know how to ask how far.

Okay, well at least they're more or less on the same page. He purses his lips, his ears going pink at the unfinished way Shouto... Well, suggests a lot of things. And at the way his skin flushes slightly, and-- God, did he do that? He squirms, stretching out and then curling forward, burying his face against Shouto's throat for a moment.

"I can't look you in the eye when I say this, but the only action I've ever gotten is my hand. Which isn't great because I kind of messed up the dominant one." Shouto will probably feel how red he goes as he says that moreso than see it, though the flush creeps down the back of his neck, too. "But, um." He chews on his lip again for a moment, and the taste Shouto left behind is less, this time. He doesn't... like that. He'd like more of that taste, not less. "...I'd definitely like to figure the rest out. With you."

"Mmf," he manages, and it's not a word but definitely a sound, at the wandering hand and the other one threaded into his hair, and the kiss, and... Wow. He exhales again, his breath shaking, and this time just lets his open mouth fall against Shouto's collarbone. One hand shifts down to tug carefully at the collar of his shirt, and he tilts his head to look back and up at him, as if asking permission, before putting his mouth against just his skin, open, and lathing his tongue there. It's a curious motion, and results in a slight amount of suction between his mouth and Shouto's skin, and he remembers reading somewhere about hickeys.

"I want to feel you," he breathes, and he's pretty wholly unaware he even said that out loud.
