#let's think about tddk getting married now...

[introspectivememories]

tddk hc that tdrk is the ultimate "i wanna show you off" bf. king of kissing izk in public places to tell everyone that izk is taken by him. possessive bastard. purposely lends izk his clothing and everyone can tell bc while izk is bigger width wise, tdrk has always been taller. convinces izk to leave hickeys in visible places just so he can come to class the next day, shirt half-unbuttoned, so that everyone can see. makes direct eye-contact with the business ed student who will Not stop asking izk out, as he kisses izk.

[heb-i]

Oooh, there's more??? Please do tell~

I like hearing people ramble about things they love :]

hhh youre the nicest person ever pls

first of all most of this is courtesy of @fi-nn who always has the best and saddest ideas whenever i get new aus lmao

so abt shouto, i love tdbk so i considered them as endgame but then i kinda thought that shouto wouldn't do that to izuku, not even years after the break up, he'd know him too well to marry the love of his life

besides, he watched them fall in love, he helped katsuki pick out the ring, he held izuku when he cried about being a terrible, terrible person, he would swallow his feelings and wait for it to pass

eijirou, on the other hand, has no obligation to any of them, how could izuku fault him for picking up the pieces he left?

shouto couldn't do that because he knows both sides of the story, what katsuki needs is the devotion he never got back from izuku and shouto knows izuku's motives too well to give him that devotion

so he moves in with izuku and helps him pick up the pieces he shattered himself in, holding him as he cries, rubbing circles on his shoulders with his hand, sending a little warmth to his shaking body and making sure he eats and sleeps, keeping reporters and friends and questions at bay

bc even though he broke it off izuku is in no way better than katsuki is, he doesn't sleep for days, he doesn't eat and he's an absolute mess but then every morning he dresses up, puts on makeup, and goes to work

and shouto's heart breaks at the sight because it's izuku, the same izuku who helped him and has always been there for him, he has to do everything he can to make sure he doesn't completely lose himself

and when katsuki hears about it, well, there are two consequences

first of all he confronts shouto one night when they're working late together, and shouto tries to explain that izuku is not nearly as fine as he tries to pretend he is, that he's just as hurt after what happened, that shouto is his friend and izuku needs him right now. and it all feels like a joke to katsuki, because "well, maybe i fucking needed you, too! you were supposed to be my friend, too."

and shouto knew that katsuki was going to be a mess but he expected he'd brush away any attempt of helping like he always does so he had just... not done it and he feels like shit for it

the other consequence is a reference to a great interpretation of the "till someone's on their knees" line, bc some interpret the use of the plural as a plea rather than a proposal

thus izuku receives a call late a night from a very drunk katsuki who "i don't know what i did wrong but I'll fix it, let me fix it, I'll do anything you ask, I'll never ask you again but please don't leave me, it's always been you and me, i don't know how it feels not to have you with me"

and it turns into "i know that shouto knows how to treat you better than i ever did but I'll ask him what he does differently, okay? ill take notes like you do and i won't complain and I'll love you like he does" because of course he thinks shouto moved in bc they're together

and izuku is sobbing telling him that it's not like that and katsuki was perfect, no one, not shouto, not anyone could ever love me like you did, no one even should because of course he's got that mindset now

and it's not an unrequited tddk au, there are no romantic feelings on either side but shouto still feels a pang in his chest as he hears everything from the other room because that's when he gets that izuku's never going to move on, is he? no matter how much time passes and how hard shouto tries to make izuku see himself in a better light, he never will

so yeah that's my lovely sad bkdk au i wish i had the time to write, thank you for reading!!!! <3

If you can imagine Shouto ever getting married, what do you think life at their home would be like for them, like TdDk? TdBk? TodoIida? TodoShin? TodOcha? Any ship you have with him, really.

I wanted to answer this before bed last night but I was too exhausted so…

I CAN IMAGINE SHOUTO GETTING MARRIED if that’s the path he and his partner want to walk, it just might take him some time to warm up to the idea. A lot about relationships is gonna be confusing and VERY VERY NEW territory for him because he has no positive examples to look to in his life so I think something like marriage could make him a little nervous even if he isn’t aware that’s what he’s feeling. It’s a big commitment to say you’ll be with someone forever ( even without a marriage certificate ) and you don’t know what could go wrong down the line and when Shouto is so closed off to people emotionally he knows it would HURT MORE THAN HE CAN FATHOM if someone he truly loved left him after making that commitment. He’d just need some time to think about it. It can’t be sprung on him, it has to be a conversation they can have together so he can really consider how he feels about it because he’d also be completely content just loving and living with someone the same way without ever officially marrying them because it’s not like it’s necessary.

NOW AS FOR MARRIED LIFE… 100% cute, normal domesticity tbh. Shouto’s pretty dense and shit right now as a teenager but by the time he’s ready to be married he’ll have grown a lot and opened himself to his partner who he will ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT A SINGLE DOUBT love and cherish forever ( and also convince them to let him have ten cats ). The only problems arise when Shouto is sleepy and a little lazy and bad at chores and can’t cook and has a terrible diet if left to his own devices so whoever dates him kinda has to motivate him to want to improve in those areas of his life.

But picture Shouto spoiling his partner by dipping into the rich boy trust fun he totally has with fancy dinners or buying them the perfect engagement ring and going all out and splurging on a dream honeymoon. Or how about cuddling on the couch after long shifts as pros because their line of work is hard. Doting over his partner whenever they get sick or hurt even if it’s just a scratch, not out of thinking his partner is weak or anything but just because HE CARES and wants them to feel better. Shouto actually trying to learn to cook his partner’s favorite foods, getting lessons from Natsuo and Fuyumi. They don’t turn out very good at first when he doesn’t have his siblings to correct his mistakes but he puts his all into it and really tries.

It’s good, wholesome shit to think about.

Limbs of faith by Beauvois might be a good prompt for a fic - ive always seen it as a tddk song but i dont mind any ship

(This song is amazing holycrap can’t believe i never heard it before) #slight angst, #tododeku

‘Hi, it’s Midoriya! You’ve caught my voicemail. Sorry that I couldn’t make it in time, but I’ll be sure to call you back, promise! Okay…bye!’

Staring at the ceiling with the phone pressed to his face, Todoroki felt his sloppy mind halt to a crushing pause. He knew he shouldn’t have called. He didn’t even know why he let his heart convince his brain that this was a good idea. Maybe it was the two hours of sleep he got after seeing him. Then again, his poor decision making probably stemmed from the gin and coke on his nightstand. The beep from the other end of the phone made his thinking stop, as he realized he should be lying something, anything. Not knowing what to say or even how to say it, he paused, before letting his mind wander.

“It feels wrong for me to call you Midoriya. I..I know I shouldn’t, but I want to call you Izuku, I hope you don’t mind…”

Covering his eyes with his arm, Todoroki sighed as he tried to grab at one of the many thoughts in his jumbled mind. The next time I see Denki he’s going to pay for getting me drunk. He thought as he imagined what his headache was going to be like in the morning.

“I think it’s my fault,” he finally said. “You know… I don’t remember who stopped talking to who, but I think I messed it up somehow.”

Todoroki didn’t see himself as a person who grieved. Even as a child he rarely cried, and he guessed that way of being carried over to adulthood. However, after he drifted away from Izuku, he think he felt something close to that emotion.

At sixteen, he never knew the limits of his heart. Who could blame him? Despite the ‘maturity’ he seemed to have at that age, he absolutely failed at understanding what the word love actually meant. He tried so hard to figure out what it meant. He had even went as far to ask his sister about it at one point, but even she was confused on the subject. So, like any other teenager, he thought he could find out what it meant on his own. For the longest he thought that maybe he just didn’t deserve it, which for a time, explained why he never understood it. However, that slowly began to change when Midoriya squeezed his way into Todoroki’s life.

“…I think you broke up with me though. Because I’d never break up with you. That part always confused me.” Todoroki rolled onto his side causing an empty bottle to knock against carpeted floor, “Everyone says that people who breakup with other people without actually talking to them in person are awful. So, that would mean that you’re awful, but…you’re not…so…what happened?”

His mind drifted to back then, when things were nicer. Todoroki remembered when Izuku would look at him, and it was as if every ounce of breath was taken from his lungs. He thought of all the times they held hands, fought beside one another, or even stayed up past sunrise together. A bittersweet smile stretched across his face as he fought back the emotions that wanted to pour from his eyes. “Did you not know?”

Had he been the only one falling all that time? He had thought that they were moving slow, finding their own pace. Getting a handle on what it meant to be in a relationship, together. At that time, Todoroki knew he had things to work out, mentally and emotionally. There were a lot of things, like his relationship with his parents, that he needed to work out before getting into anything too serious. Izuku had helped him through all of that, and even stuck around to help him through even more.

“I saw you the other day,” his breathing was choppy as he tried to hold himself together. “I don’t think you saw me, but you were standing in line at Gristides, of all places, and…and I wanted to do so many things at that moment. But, all I could do was stand there and hope you didn’t see me, as you walked out of my life, again.”

They were strangers now.

The words alone were enough to make Todoroki choke. In his dreams they were married, then came the kids… Now Izuku was his ex and he’s supposed to be okay with that. Well he’s not. He wants him back.

“I never thought we were only friends…” he said, just as his message ended.

‘If you’d like to listen to your message press the star button.’ There’s a pause and he felt himself unraveling in the silence.

‘beep beep beep’  

Dropping the phone onto his comforter, Todoroki curled in on himself as he stared at the smartphone. He would describe his heartache like the music of a great orchestra. At times it was quiet and allowed him to function, at other times the violins would play and he would be sad, then at other times it would rise to a crescendo and the anger would burst from his chest in a vicious shout of anguish. Right now there was a flute playing and he was able to remember Izuku with fondness, as masochistic as it sounded, he liked this feeling better than any other.

He’s halfway asleep when his phone shook beside his head. Blinking a tear-filled eyes open, his heartbeat skyrocketed at the name on the screen.

‘Incoming Call

Izuku Midoriya’
