bad days [todoroki shoto x m!reader]

tws : overworking, stress, small mental breakdown

context : m/n is in a relationship with todoroki shoto

-> what happens when m/n is behind in work and todoroki helps :)

It was difficult. Internship under your parents was really difficult. They worked you to the bone with the ever rising expectations they have for you to outperform everybody, you were worked twice as hard as any other of your classmates. Everyday, you would come back to your room and immediately pass out before making it to your bed. Perhaps it was the intense strain you've made on your body or the fact that you've been working for hours in the rain that made you catch this fever. Nevertheless, the headaches and nausea was nothing compared to soreness of your body from working yourself to death this entire week. However, you did not expect the illness to last this long. Unable to get out of bed for the past week, you were well-behind in class. It was not helpful with midterms coming up as work just pilled up. The vast amount of classwork and homework you had to finish, materials to catch up on and training to complete created immense amount of stress on your body as you forced your weakself out of bed and revised on materials you've missed out (provided by your peers).

"[M/n]?" A familiar voice called to you, snapping you out of your focus. Todoroki stood at the entrance of the door holding up a tray containing a bowl of porridge and a glass of warm [fav drink]. He quickly placed the tray down on your vanity table and rushed over to you.

"[M/n]? You're burning up..." He frowned as he felt your forehead with his, "What are you doing out of bed?"

His voice was calmed and not panicked but you could tell a sense of worry from the tone of his voice.

"I...I have too much to catch up on, I can't stay in bed any longer," You turned away and looked at the list you curated on the things you had to get done before the midterm exams that was one and a half months away. It was long and you were not even halfway done. You let out short and heavy breaths as you struggled to keep your lungs from collapsing.

"[M/n]...you're still sick, you're not in the right condition to be studying right now. You need to rest and let your body recover," He nudged you and held your hand to keep you from writing.

"Please, I need to get this done! I'm not even halfway on the things I have to catch up on, and I'm running out of time," Your voice cracked and you struggled to keep your tears from filling your eyes. All the stress from studying and pressure you've been putting on your unwell body was finally getting to you.

Todoroki watched silently as you breakdown into small sobs and tried to wipe your tears. He turned to your bed and pushed away the duvet you neatly folded on your bed. Stacking pillows against the bedrest, he easily picked you up and sat you down on your bed, covering you with the duvet. You were trying to struggle and get out of his grapes but your body was far to tired to gather the strength to resist. You slumped into the backrest he created for you and pouted, tears continued to stream down your face as you thought about the mountain of work awaiting you and how it was piling up at the second.

He took tissues and wiped away the tears from your face, "Knowing your situation, Aizawa-sensei can give you an extension. There is no reason to put so much stress on your recovering body."

"But!" He shushed you by shoving a spoon of his homemade (with some help of Midoriya) porridge into your mouth.

"Chew," He said. He wore his usual blank face yet his actions and words were filled with care and compassion that made you feel warm and fluffy inside. Dissipating the stress you were feeling, allowing you to calm down and relax.

"You sure?" You croaked. You could barely speak from the fever you've been experiencing, impacting yout throat.

"Mhm, it's unfair for you to complete all the work you've missed out because you were sick from overworking, you deserve a break," He hummed softly and caressed your [h/c] hair gently as you swallowed the warm porridge.

The porridge and [fav drink] was soon finished. The mental and physical stress you were putting on yourself was not as heavy anymore. However, the image of the pile of work that was towering over you wouldn't disappear from your mind. Poking at you from the depths of the darkness in your mind. Todoroki noticed how you kept glancing at your work desk.

"If you want, I can tell you about the stuff we learnt in class today...like a bedtime story," He offered, you smiled in delight at his offer as it gave you a chance to catch up on work in a more enjoyable and light-hearted way.

It took less than ten minutes for you to slowly fell asleep to Todoroki's soothing and gentle voice.

bad days [bakugo katsuki x m!reader]

tws : failing, small mental breakdown, overthinking, stress

context : m/n aizawa's son and alrdy in a relationship w bk

-> what happens when m/n has a bad day and how bk helps :)

School was very stressful for you these past weeks. With midterm exams coming up, your father expects a lot from you academic wise and also performance wise (for the hero aspect of the exams). With the competitiveness of Class 1-A, everyone is trying their best to exceed expectations and outperform each other. The stress and never-ending pressure everything is giving you is suffocating you from the inside. The goals you've set for yourself now seems so far away. You were losing sleep from staying up late all night studying, forgetting to eat, drinking minimal water. You were losing awareness in your surroundings.

Soon you lost sight of yourself. Who are you? What is your purpose? You were so tired. So drained from trying to reach everyone's expectation of you.

After a long hard day of school and only surviving on caffeine and a 15 minute power nap, you were off to training at the Class 1-A designated gym. That was your current routine. Wake up, school, training, study, nap, repeat. On the way, you were stopped by your father. Aizawa.

He forcefully grabbed you by the shoulder and turned you around. Shocked by the sudden movements, you felt the room spin as you snapped back into reality.

"You're starting to look more like me by the day," He joked about the heavy undereye bags you developed.

You chuckled nervously at his comment as he furrowed his brows at your condition, "Are you doing alright? Your actions are sluggish and your reactions are slow. Would you perform and pass the hero exam?"

His words may seem caring and concerned from a parent's perspective, but those words felt like stone that piled onto your back, adding to the already overfilling stress and pressure you have been harbouring since weeks ago.

"Yea...I'm fine," You paused, trying to control your shaky voice, "Just had a bad sleep...um...I...have training,"

Swiftly, without letting Aizawa get another word in you turned and ran out of his sight. Holding back a small cry, you ran towards the gym. Your mind spinning.

"Sluggish"

"Slow"

"Failure"

"Disappointment"

Words kept flashing through your mind as you finally reached the entrance of the gym.

Feeling all the stress and pressure you've been holding back from destroying you inside, hit you like a giant wave. It was heavy, it was painful and exhausting.

Tears, one by one, came sliding down your face until it was just a stream of water. Your legs gave out as you just sat on the lush green grass crying your heart out. Releasing all the pressure you've been feeling.

As you cried and wailed the feelings you've been trying so hard to keep at bay, locked in the back of your mind, you felt a pair of hands wrapped themselves around you. You felt warmth in this moment of darkness. You opened your reddened and puffy eyes to see fluffy blonde hair. A familiar, calming scent filled your nose as you hiccuped from the vigorous crying session.

"Bakugo?" He had engulfed you in a hug and lifted you into a more comfortable position. His arms wrapped around your neck, with you sat atop of his crossed legs. You hugged him tightly with your face snuggled in the crook of his neck.

He hummed the tune of your favourite song to help you calm down. However, that only made you start crying more. How appreciative you were to have such a kind and wonderful person in your life.

"You're okay," He whispered softly in an attempt to stop you from bawling your eyes out. No matter how tough he pretends to be on the outside, to watch the person he cherishes the most, breakdown and cry out so agonisingly, it was like torture.

With small, gently pats and soft humming of your favourite song, you slowly captured your breaths and your tears started to decrease. You blinked your tired and worn out eyes to get out the rest of your tears and relaxed your tensed body into the arms of him.

"I'm sorry," You hiccuped and wiped the remaining tears off your face.

"For what? You have nothing to be sorry about," He said and lifted you up.

"You wanna talk about it?" He asked as you snuggle into him.

"No...not right now," He was one of the last person you wanted to share the pilled up emotions you've been feeling. With his competitve personality and just how strong he is, you would sometimes feel inferior to him. But knowing how understanding he could be sometimes, you decided it's best if you shared the reason behind your breakdown sometime else.

"K...I'll be here whenever you're ready," He said as he carried you back to your dorm.

"I'm going to help you change and tuck you into bed. I'm going to leave to go make you some dinner ok? Don't you fucking get out of that goddamn bed you probably haven't touched in like ten years. I'll order some of your [fav drink] and make [fav dish]. You're going to finish all of it. Not a single goddamn crumb left. Understood?" He plopped you down onto your bed. You nodded and sniffed.

"Good, after that we can cuddle up and watch [fav movie]...might as well clean your fucking room while you eat...jesus christ my guy?! How do you find your clothes in this shit?! You know what! Come with me!" He exploded, despite his violent outburst he gently (yet still aggressively) picked you back up, slammed your door and headed to his room instead.

He gently sat you down in his soft and clean bed as you watched him swing open his closet and (aggressively) open his drawers, picking out a shirt and some pants for you. You watched him decide on the perfect pair of pants and perfect shirt for you to wear while also wondering how the hell is his closet still intact.

He placed the folded clothes on the side of the bed and looked at you for permission. You sniffed and slightly nod to give him the a-okay on helping you undress. You sat like a child as he unbuttoned your shirt, Your heart melted at the gentleness of his actions. Making sure his fingers don't make contact with your skin even if you gave him permission he still didn't want to overstep any boundaries and make you uncomfortable. He slipped off your shirt and grabbed his iconic skull t-shirt.

"Up," He ordered and you raised your arms. He slipped it on. His shirt was soft and smelled really nice (just like him).

"Here, change," He handed you a pair of his boxers and turned around. You changed your underwear and tugged at his shirt to let him know you were done, having no voice left.

A giant smirk appeared on his face as he picked you up with ease. Placing you in the middle of his bed and surrounded you with pillows. Tucking you in and switching on his TV, he put on one of your favourite movies of all time and gave you some [fav snack] to snack on while you watched.

"I'll be back in a bit, don't you dare fucking cry again. You're the best human being on earth and I don't give a shit what anyone says, you're enough...fuck I'm not good at this consoling shit! You get what I mean right?! Fucking hell, this shit's embarrassing! I'm going to go make dinner!" He awkwardly scurried out of the room. Your heart felt full. All the pressure and stress was gone and the heavy feeling in your chest disappeared. You felt at ease and so comfortable and peaceful. With [fav movie] playing in the background, you slowly fell into some well deserved sleep.
