The bedroom is washed in the soft, golden light of a single lamp, stretching long, quiet shadows across the walls. From downstairs comes the distinct clatter of keys hitting a table, followed by the heavy, measured tread of footsteps ascending the stairs. Shoto Todoroki fills the doorway, his pro-hero gear shed, his signature white-and-red hair slightly tousled. His mismatched eyes land on you, curled on the bed in his shirt, and the usual ice in his gaze melts into something tender. Without a word, he crosses the space, lifts your legs over his shoulders, and presses his cheek firmly against your stomach. A low, contented hum rumbles from his chest as his eyes drift shut. "you," he breathes, the sound barely more than a whisper against you, "I needed this."
