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.

It meant for a lot more specific contact, and his breath caught in a gasp as he ground down into him from the new angle.
"God-- ffffffhh," he didn't quite swear, but almost. "Is-- is that okay...?" His tone was desperate, because he could practically feel himself careening to the edge of his sanity, but he needed Shouto's okay to keep at it.
no subject
Izuku's words are echoed by a groan from Shouto's lips, his back arching slightly as he's briefly overcome with sensation. Okay?? Okay isn't even the half of it. Okay would imply that he's not about to come in his underwear right then and there. A frantic nod begins before Izuku even finishes the words, Shouto's eyes reflecting more than a little of that frantic need as he squeezes Izuku's fingers, lacing one set of hands together and reaching for words. "Don't stop," he manages, breathy and almost desperate with what he can feel building in him. "Don't stop, Izuku, please--"
He'll forgive him for not lasting very long at all, won't he?? Hopefully he will. Not much avoiding it, at this point.
no subject
"Shouto," he breathes, shifting to rock more against his thigh for a moment. "I'm-- H-hold onto something," Something, meaning something other than him, probably.
no subject
"Me too," he gasps, a reply almost bitten off in the wake of another breathless whine. "Me too, Izuku, I'm going to--god--"
Maybe it was a little inevitable that he not last very long at all this time, but it still feels like something of a surprise as the climax rolls over him with a full-throated moan, a shuddering rush that drives all conscious thought from his mind and leaves him seeing stars even as it soaks his underwear through, leaving him a shivering mess clutching Izuku's hand.
no subject
"Go on," he urges quietly, his tone almost a growl, and then all at once the sticky dampness between them pulls his spine taut and his vision whites out as he follows Shouto over. He makes nearly no sound, just tightening his grip on both his hand and the fold of his knee, a choked gasp the only auditory confirmation of his addition to the mess.
no subject
The thoughts running through his head are delirious, half-formed things. Only one manages to fully emerge and become action: lifting his hand from his pillow, Shouto props himself up on his elbows and reaches up, tugging Izuku down into a breathless kiss. 'Thanks for the orgasm' seems a little rude, but...well, here they are anyway. Maybe Izuku will appreciate his meaning regardless.
uses this icon because it's mostly fitting this time
"That... at risk of sounding like bad erotica, was awesome." Did he just admit to reading erotica?
I need more porny icons tbh
He's smiling, too, as Izuku pulls away, and wraps an arm around the other boy's shoulders as he lays back down, pulling Izuku in to his side. Eventually they're gonna have to clean up, it's gonna get cold and sticky and gross, but...just for a minute, he wants to bask in this glow. "Mm, yeah," he answers, and there's that same lazy warmth in Shouto's voice as his fingers draw patterns on Izuku's bare shoulder. "Very awesome. We should do it again." Did he say that out loud? He did. He did, and he doesn't regret it in the slightest. Leaning his head against Izuku's, Shouto glances sideways at him briefly, wondering despite himself. "I mean--if you want to." Maybe he wouldn't?? Crazier things have happened.
i'm slowly working on more i got u fam
"Ohh? You liked it that much? Who in their right mind would turn down another round with UA's Class 1-A most eligible bachelor, Todoroki Shouto? Not this pleb, I can tell you that," he crows softly, riding high on the winds of their cooling stickiness.
On that note, though, sitting up produces a sort of unpleasant squish of a feeling and his expression pinches, making him look down.
"...but, uh. This time let's get our boxers off before we come, yeah?"
Ur the best boo
Although--yeah, that is kind of a gross feeling, isn't it? With a sigh, Shouto stretches fully, much like a cat, and as he uncurls he reaches down, sliding from his underwear without any shyness or hesitation, using the fabric to begin at least the very basics of cleanup. Not like they can get more ruined, after all. "Mm, that's definitely a better idea. I'm already going to have to borrow a pair from you before I go back to my room...Do you have a towel or something?"
no subject
He bites his lip, grinning crookedly and looking quite terribly coy. "You know me better than that, I think," he says, and he would absolutely have gotten hard again right there had he not literally soiled himself with ejaculate moments prior. He gives Shouto a bit of perhaps unwanted modesty as he scoots out of his boxers, keeping his attention on his face and nodding, stretching out and away and hooking one thumb on his own boxers as he goes. He's a little shier about it, scooting backward and out of them but keeping them bunched up over his spent goods as he moves back toward Shouto (still pointedly not taking inventory) with a box of tissues. "Not a towel, but I've got some tissues for the minute. There's towels in the bathroom, if you want."
He folds inward just enough to look bashful, shoulders bunched up around his ears and posture generally guarded, but an easy enough smile on his face. He's not uncomfortable, not by any means, but he's maybe a little anxious about being fully nude with one of his closest friends whom he happens to have just had a wild mutual wanking session with. Not exactly how he would have expected to spend his Sunday.
no subject
Speaking of--Izuku doesn't look as Shouto slides his underwear off, and he seems to make a point of covering himself, so Shouto follows suit, not about to make him more uncomfortable. However, he's also not going to let Izuku pull too far back at this juncture in time or get too lost in his head again. Not after what they've just shared. No regrets about it, right?
"Tissues are fine for now," he answers, taking the box from Izuku and setting aside his soiled shorts. It only takes a moment and a few tissues to finish cleaning himself up enough to be comfortable, and as soon as that's done, he's turning back to Izuku, pushing his hair back out of his face as he sits up, not shy in the slightest about his state of undress.
"You okay?"
no subject
As Shouto sits up he lifts his head and the smile fades, though not for any specific loss of happiness-- he's just... stunned. His expression goes mostly slack, watching him sit up and push his hair back like that, watching how comfortable and mellow he looks, and realizing that somewhere along the line he'd leapt directly over caring about him as a friend, and barreled pretty headlong into falling the fuck in love with him. His breath catches and he nods, chirping a quiet "Yeah," under his breath and sitting forward on his knees to reach out.
He doesn't hesitate like he might normally, reaching right to him and threading one hand into the hair at the nape of his neck, scritching blunted fingernails there gently and letting another soft smile melt his features.
"...yeah, I'm great." And also gay. "Um, I-- before... Before we do anything else, maybe... I feel like we should... figure some stuff out." Oh, so it looked like maybe he wanted to determine boundaries and what they were before they had another wank session.
no subject
And nerves are also what he writes that following expression off as. The way Izuku's face goes slack, the way his smile fades as he stares at Shouto, eyes a brilliant green. He's got such pretty eyes. Those eyes, and the freckles that don't just sprinkle his cheeks, but cover the rest of him, too. Shouto might be staring just a little in return, a strange fluttering in his chest, eyes soft as he tilts his head almost in question. Not in question is how he's going to respond to Izuku moving towards him, though. Of course that's welcomed, encouraged, and Shouto runs his hand along Izuku's arm, leaning into the reassuring stroke of fingernails against the nape of his neck. It feels so nice. Not just the touch; all of this. That smile on Izuku's face, the contact, the closeness. How could he feel nervous about any of this?
"....Right."
Ah. That's how. Shouto's heart does a small somersault as Izuku says those words. Right right. Figure some stuff out. Because...well, that's probably a good idea. Nothing to be nervous about. It makes sense, after all.
Shouto's smile fades a little, a more serious look sliding onto his face as he watches the other boy. Fingers trace small patterns on his bicep as he considers a moment, unwilling to give up the small contact even as they're talking about this.
"So--where do you want to start? I know we're both guys, so--that might be a little weird for you, I guess." Maybe? He doesn't know. He's sort of making this up as he goes along.
no subject
"Doesn't matter that we're both guys," he explains immediately. "I've never really cared about that, like... L--" He stops, clearing his throat and going red from his neck to his ears at realizing he almost just claimed Love is Love, and what a bomb that would be to drop. "Like who you like, your sexual and gender identity shouldn't really matter." Wow, okay, not a bad save, but now he's gonna be flustered the rest of this conversation. "I definitely like you a lot, I'm definitely attracted to you, um, I... guess that accounts for both romantic and sexual allure? Wow this is embarrassing."
no subject
The press of hip to hip is nice, if a touch distracting, and Shouto's hand wanders up towards Izuku's shoulder as he listens, fingertips exploring his upper back, the shape of his shoulder blades. "I feel the same way. That is--" It's not exactly fair if he just says that, is it? If he just echoes him. Izuku should hear it. Shouto doesn't look away, eyes still strangely soft as he watches Izuku fumble his way through.
"I like you. A lot. As more than just friends. I think maybe I have for a while, even if I didn't know what exactly it was. And this--I really enjoyed what we just did. So, I guess..." He trails off briefly, biting at his lip as he searches for the correct way to say this, eventually opting for his usual blunt honesty.
"I want to do that again, but I think I'd like to do other things, too. Like--with our clothes still on." There's a hint of a smile on his lips, the smallest trace of uncertainty. "I've never been on a date before, but--I wouldn't mind trying it, with you. If you want to."
no subject
"For someone who got into UA on recommendations, you sure have a startlingly blunt way of saying things," he laughs, curling inward but smiling up over his hand. His eyes are still glassy, for sure, but that's just something Shouto will have to get used to. This is a particularly soggy steamed vegetable. "But... I'd like that. To do more things with you. With and without clothes."
no subject
Izuku doesn't cry, though; he's a little watery, but he's laughing, smiling as he answers Shouto. "I'm not sure what being blunt has to do with it, but I don't know. It's hard enough doing this kind of thing without just...saying what you mean. Or what I mean. I like you a lot. You should know that. And I want to do more with you. So I'm asking." Isn't that what you're supposed to do? Is there some other way to go about it?? This is the only way he can figure that makes any sense at all. But...hey, it's still a yes. Leaning over, Shouto places a soft kiss against Izuku's jawline, letting his lips linger there for a long moment.
"But...I'm glad you feel the same way."
no subject
"You're a lot more straightforward than I am," he mumbles, squirming closer to him again and mirroring his gesture by looping one arm around his hips. He's still a little bashful about looking him over, now that they're naked, and his ears go a little darker red. "...but, I've got a really dumb embarrassing question for you, actually."
no subject
"You can ask me anything. You know that."
no subject
"I've always been curious, but..." He reaches out and runs one hand through Shouto's hair. "I don't... like looking at people when we're changing or whatever, it feels invasive. Is it just the hair here that's two-tone?" He can't look him in the eye when he asks it, pink dusting his cheeks again, but he's got this giddy little smile on his face as the words leave his lips.
no subject
It's a warmth that bubbles up as the other boy runs a hand through Shouto's hair and then asks that question, and Shouto blinks in response, a quiet sound of surprise slipping out. But he's smiling nonetheless, that slow, intent look that seems to be devoted exclusively to Izuku these days. "Very polite of you," he murmurs, leaning into the fingers combing through hair still silky despite their recent activities. "But I don't mind if you look." After all, he's not shy. Especially not for Izuku. "It's not as evenly divided as the hair on my head, but..." Well, Izuku can see for himself: there's a faint trail of red very low on Shouto's torso that spreads, a swirl of white through it that interrupts the color here and there.
no subject
He really, really wants to ask him to continue, but he has to focus on the answer for his question.
He lets Shouto's coaxing guide his gaze downward, and his face just gets pinker the lower he goes-- it's not even specifically that he's just about looking at his dick that's bringing a deeper flush to his face, it's just... All of him. Shouto has always been slim, but lithely muscular, and Izuku is true to his word that he doesn't like to look when people are changing or bathing. Japanese people didn't really have a concept of modesty in the same way as many other cultures, but he just didn't...
Oh.
His eyebrows raise.
"...huh," he breathes, tilting his head. "That's... actually really interesting to me, and that's probably weird."
no subject
But he can pick back up on that in a moment. Izuku's looking, despite being the approximate color of a strawberry, and Shouto struggles just a little with keeping his own thoughts steady as he hears the thoughtfulness in the other boy's voice. "Is it? I mean, I think it's kind of nice you're so interested in me," he says after a moment, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Unless you think I'm weird." Which...maybe he wouldn't be wrong, but he's just teasing, really.
no subject
"Not weird," he insists, briefly letting his eyes travel below the patch of hair and then looking away again, ears turning a much darker red for a moment. "...Mmmn, not weird at all. I'm just really interested in things I like, I wanna know all I can about them." He lets his little finger slide inconspicuously into Shouto's pubes, smiling slowly as he does. "Like... all. As much as I can." A pointed statement, perhaps.
