It’s been weeks since you and Todoroki had been broken up. Actually you never even dated, you were best friends who occasionally flirted. But you were happy with what you had and couldn’t afford to ruin it. Oh no, you never had a chance with him. There his beautiful figure was, sitting in a cafe with Yaoyorozu, laughing together. They’re just laughing..but you can’t believe that you officially lost him. How was she able to do that so easily? It took you so long to break his walls down, it took you years! He was your everything, you gave him everything you had to offer..and he just acts like nothing happened between you two? You were always a little bit uneasy of them being such close friends, she was too perfect and whenever you heard him talk about her, it just sounded like they mixed together so well like the perfect couple, the perfect pair.
And ain't it funny how you ran to her
The second that we called it quits?
And ain't it funny how you said you were friends?
Now it sure as hell don't look like it
He held her hand in his and kissed her temple. He never liked showing public displays of affection, yet he would do these cute little things with her in public. It made you want to gag. But they were cute, like two peas in a pod. And she really was worthy of him, at least it was someone like her who had him. Still, you should have done something. You should have initiated something with him. And still, you deserve more.
“ Hey, um, can we watch a movie tonight?”
“ Already made plans with Yaoyorozu. Sorry.”
“ Oh, ok.”
“ Hey! Wanna call and study together later?”
“ Sorry, Yaoyorozu and I are now ‘study buddies,’ well that’s what she calls it.”
You put up with it because you were happy you got to see him making more friends. And you thought ‘He’s also spending time with his other classmates, can’t be that big of a deal’ Oh boy, how incredibly wrong you were. You just can’t believe it. He’s changed so much.
“ Your sweater is so cute!”
“ Take it.”
“ Oh no! Really?”
“Yeah. You look prettier in it anyway.”
“ Psshh liar”
“ It’s true. There’s nobody else deserving of my sweaters.” He chuckled.
You betrayed me
And I know that you'll never feel sorry
For the way I hurt, yeah
You talked to her when we were together
And there she was sitting next to him with his favorite sweater on, looking at him with her pretty little eyes. You hated this. Even though you were in different schools, he should have put more effort into the relationship you guys had. He didn’t even care much about you anymore. You were able to hear it whenever you called, he sounded so cold. You ignored it, of course, like all the other hints he dropped.
You remembered that day when you were hanging out. God, you rarely did anymore. His phone chimed and he took it out of his pocket to see why it did. You were close enough to read what it had said
‘Hey, Todoroki-san! How are you? Do you want to visit the new museum that just opened up yesterday with me later?
You saw his eyes sparkle and saw him reply back
“ Sure, at 3 pm?”
3 pm….it was only 2:15 on a Sunday. He has classes on Saturday and Monday and this was the only time you both got to hang out. The phone rang again.
“ Alright! See you soon.”
He placed his phone away and looked back at you.
“ Ah sorry, we’re gonna have to cut our hang out today short. Gotta meet with Yaoyorozu soon.”
He said calmly. But you...you were furious.
Loved you at your worst, but that didn't matter
It took you two weeks to go off and date her
Maybe if you never fought this wouldn’t have happened. But you knew that was a lie, he could never be yours.
“ I’m just saying, you should prioritize someone who has been with you through it all rather than some random girl! ”
“ Some random girl? Who do you think you are?! Do you really think I’m incapable of making close relationships!?”
“ Ugghhh! I didn’t mean it like that. I just want your time!”
“ I don’t owe you my energy.”
“ Yes you do! I have been with you even before you got your quirk! And when you antagonized me for distracting you from your goals!”
“ I’m sorry that I want to spend time with the girl I love.”
And as he left … your heart shattered. What he said had stung you. Did he not love you too? Not even as friends? Best friends? You reminisced all your favorite memories with him. The one memory you made together as kids hurt you.
“ Promise me, you'll never leave me?”
“ I promise.”
Guess you didn't cheat, but you're still a traitor
