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.

Despite all the contact they've had, Shouto still can't quite help the way his breath catches as Izuku slides that palm across his lower stomach, and he leans back slightly to let the other boy have a little more room. Watching Izuku as he is, he definitely doesn't miss the way his eyes dip a little further then shoot away, and damned if that doesn't stir the very beginnings of a different kind of warmth. His eyes drift from Izuku's face down to the hand on his stomach as the other boy speaks, and as that pinky drifts deliberately down, Shouto finds his mouth going dry with anticipation.
"Well, in that case, I mean. I don't want to keep you from learning new things," he breathes, voice dropping into a slightly huskier range. "I really like how enthusiastic you are about it, honestly. Maybe we could learn something new together." Is this flirting? Is he flirting? Maybe.
no subject
"I'd like that," he breathes, twisting his wrist to run all four of his fingers through the dualtoned hair below Shouto's navel. "Learning together is a lot better than learning alone." Oh, this is definitely flirting. Really fucking nerdy flirting.
no subject
"Absolutely. Maybe we'll have to schedule some more study dates. It seems like it's a pretty complicated topic, might take a lot of research." The words are almost a breathy laugh as he arches slightly into the touch, leaning in towards Izuku and brushing his lips over that sensitive space where ear meets jaw once more. "I'm very dedicated, though. I'll work extra hard." You know what, it's fine. Nerdy flirting is a go.
no subject
"...I'll have to keep a closer eye on Aoyama and Mineta's schedules so we can time these study sessions," he adds, a thoughtful tone to his words.
no subject
Shouto's breath shudders from him with a sigh, a faintly voiced hum at the end of it as he lets his mouth continue exploring Izuku's neck and jawline. It's an encouraging sound, definitely, and Shouto shifts a little more--enough that he can let his own fingers reach across and slide over Izuku's thigh. He's not quite going for the gold yet, but, well. The touch should imply what he's planning on. "You could come up to my room, too," he murmurs, mouthing at that scar on Izuku's shoulder. "Sero and Satou won't mind. And Sero's usually down hanging out with Kaminari and the others when we have free time, so..." So is he asking Izuku to come to his room for a perfectly innocent study date during normal hours that will almost definitely not be an actual study date? Maybe.

His fingertips slide further, tracing a path up Izuku's inner thigh towards the join of his hip as his lips continue their own path, down along Izuku's collarbone, tongue flickering at the hollow of his throat to taste his skin. "Could convince him it means something else," he suggests, although it's half joking. "Like I've got a cold. Contagious, he shouldn't come in."
no subject
"You won't even get to do much studying, at this rate..." Listen, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them just giving each other rapidfire handjobs until they can't fucking see. A beat, and he frowns slightly. "And I'm not gonna lie to Iida about what a sock on the doorknob means, I don't think he's ever told a lie in his life and that makes lying to him like. A cardinal sin." Another face, and he's very clearly thinking too hard about this. "Plus you know he'd come in anyway, just armed with a surgical mask and Lysol."
no subject
He does pull away for just a moment though, enough to look at Izuku's frown with the smallest rueful smile. "I know, I know. I wouldn't lie to him. I don't think I'd really do the sock thing. It seems kind of..." Public? After all, if everyone knows what it means... "I don't want anyone thinking about you like that," he finishes after a moment of thought, fingers wandering below Izuku's navel, perhaps seeking something similar to what Izuku's been doing with his hand. Anyway, it's true. People shouldn't be gossiping about what they want to do. Also, it's probably breaking like 6 school regulations. Although he wouldn't mind breaking some more, honestly.
no subject
And then he laughs, quiet and boyish, nose scrunched up and lips peeled away from his teeth. It's a happy sound, tinged slightly in nerves, but laughing helps to ease them so he lets his shoulders shake a little at the expense of Iida's potential horror over socks on doorknobs. "Think of me like what? Shoucchan, we just rubbed ourselves off in our underwear on my bed on a Sunday afternoon, nobody would be wrong for assumptions they make about me based on a sock on your door." His lips purse as Shouto's hand wanders lower, and his stomach tightens just slightly with nerves, but he doesn't protest, just chewing his lip shyly. "If I weren't already gonna have a hard time meeting his eyes for a week in class because I got off sitting on you on this bedspread, I'd even put one of my All Might socks on your door."
no subject
"I know we did, and I'm going to be thinking about that for weeks," he murmurs more than a little breathlessly, doing his best to keep his voice steady. "Maybe I just don't want other people thinking about you naked." Maybe he's...already in a little deeper than he's maybe realized. After all, that offer Izuku makes gives him a warm, fuzzy feeling that's entirely ridiculous, his heart feeling all gooey and soft. Shouto's smiling despite his protests, and he doesn't let any amount of nerves on either end stop his fingers from continuing their journey, exploring what hair he finds and then lightly caressing the delicate skin below.
"But I'm honored you're willing to sacrifice one of your All Might socks for the cause, anyway."
no subject
His ears turn a sudden scarlet when Shouto admits to not liking the thought of anyone else thinking about him naked, and his smile is almost entirely nerves, but it's still a smile, and he cranes his neck to press his face into the crook of the other teenager's neck.
"It'd be a dead giveaway it was me, but now that you mention it, I dunno that I want anybody thinking about me naked, either?" But he's fine with talking about getting off in their underwear.
no subject
If it helps any, Shouto also isn't looking down, but that could be because he's pressing his lips to the shell of Izuku's ear, shuddering as the hand wrapped around him shifts, stroking lightly and pulling what distinctly sounds like a whimper from his throat. His own fingers continue mapping the shape of Izuku's cock, tracing lines like he's memorizing it by feel.
"Make an exception for me? Because I'm pretty sure not thinking about this is going to be impossible," he murmurs, breath hot against the other boy's skin. Honestly, he's not sure he's going to be able to stop thinking about it for a while.
no subject
Through combination of Shouto's lips against his ear, the fingers ghosting along his steadily hardening erection, and the whimper from the hero's throat, Izuku makes a sound of his own that is much less soft and wanton than Shouto's, a husky groan accompanying a shift of his hips to encourage Shouto's hand. He goes still, for a moment then, taking a moment to just breathe even if his chest is heaving with every breath. He forgets to curb a second one at Shouto's question, his spine bowing outward to force more friciton from Shouto's hand and a smile curving his lips.
"Are you saying I'm in your spank bank now, Shoucchan?" His tone is playful, but his voice is thick with want, his hand taking a more measured approach at stroking Shouto. His mind was racing like his heartbeat, full of terrible thoughts of debauchery, wondering if Shouto would make those whimpering sounds more if he stroked him faster, if he preferred a tighter or loser grip, what part of him was most sensitive. He twists his wrist, loosening his hold almost entirely and just trailing his fingers up the underside of him, swiping a thumb idly over the head when he gets to it. His face is still firmly buried in Shouto's neck, but that also means Shouto can feel how his breath stutters frequently.
no subject
"You say that like I'm not going to be in yours, too," he answers, and there's the trace of a laugh in his voice that's caught as those fingers trail up the underside of his length, teeth finding first his lip and then Izuku's earlobe again as he bites back a moan. He can feel himself twitch under the touch, delicately light and almost maddening, and it's so tempting to do the same back to Izuku. Maybe that's why instead, he takes the opposite tack and keeps his grip around Izuku solid, but the pace slow. "Tell me you aren't going to be thinking about everything we're doing right now every time you're alone."
Bold words. Especially for someone who's never done anything like this before. But Izuku's always brought out something of his competitive nature, hasn't he? And there's a not-inconsiderable part of him that's wondering if his words, huskily whispered against Izuku's skin, might get him another of those delicious bluescreen moments.

"You'd think I'd get off to talking about academics, with how much of a nerd everybody thinks I am," he offers loftily. "But I'm actually just kind of a physical person with this sort of thing. Not to say intelligence isn't hot, but." He leans down and kisses Shouto soundly, drawing away to lick his lips. "Less talking about school."
no subject
"Pretty sure you started it," is his only protest, and even that is more faint and teasing than anything else as he leans into that kiss, hands sliding over Izuku's thighs and up his back. When he finally pulls back, lips parted as the other licks them, his eyes are hazy, and more than a little distracted. "Mm, no argument here. Less talking, more kissing." It sounds a little silly. He sounds a little silly, whimsical and slightly dazed. Not very much like himself at all. But who could blame him? He's got a gorgeous naked boy in his lap looking down at him like that, kissing him like he's the only source of oxygen, and currently what feels like a considerable amount of the blood in his body is somewhere south of his navel for the second time in as many hours. Reaching up, he plunges fingers in those green curls, pulling Izuku in for another kiss, shifting slightly to eliminate as much space from between them as he can.
no subject
"I keep sitting on you," he mumbles when he draws away, worrying at his own lower lip. "Sit up with me? I have an idea," Which, given how he's raking his eyes down Shouto's body, that Idea probably has everything to do with the same heat below his navel he's sharing.
no subject
But he can feel Izuku's weight on him, and he can smell the faint scent that's a combination of sweat and soap and Izuku, and he can feel those teeth catch in his lip, pulling a pleased purr of a sound from his throat at the sensation. This isn't a dream, or if it is it's the most real dream he's ever had.
"I don't mind you sitting on me," he answers when Izuku pulls back, eyes still half-lidded. It's not a protest, really, just an answer, as honest as he always is. It's nice, looking at Izuku on top of him. "But if you've got an idea..." He hasn't had a bad idea yet, so Shouto isn't going to protest now. Stomach muscles tensing (and only partially from exertion, more than a little because he can feel those eyes on his body as if they were hands), he sits and moves as Izuku's directing.
no subject
When Shouto sits up, Izuku scoots backward just a touch, leading to him sitting between Shouto's legs with his thighs resting on the other's, folded up over him and his ankles nearly crossed behind his hips. Deciding this is no time to be shy, he finds one of Shouto's hands and brings it between them, scooting forward until he can encourage Shouto's hand to take hold of both of their teenage erections, kind of sandwiching them together. He doesn't make a sound about it, but his mouth opens with the added contact, and he bites his lip again, raising his eyes to Shouto's to ask for approval.
"...mm, it's... a little much, but." But it would probably get them both off fast enough that neither of them beats the other in wanking off with their own hand alone.
no subject
"Mmn--"
The sound is absolutely wanton, a bitten off whine as Izuku presses them both together, wrapping both his and Shouto's hands around their lengths. Yeah, it's a little much, but he's not complaining at all as he opens hazy eyes to meet the other boy's gaze, heated and intense. He should say something, before he loses the ability, right? Right.
"No, it's--it's good, it's fine, just--"
Just as he shifts his hips a little experimentally, stroking both of them together, maybe it is a little much, because there goes his ability to speak coherently at all. Whoops.
