Todoroki's POV
I'm sitting in the kitchen, Katsuki is making breakfast for everyone, I glance around the room. Normally Izuku gets woken up by Katsuki after he went back to sleep when he trains in the morning. However, Katsuki found his bedroom empty today, he told me he might have lost track of time and is still training, he did that alot when stressed apparently. I didn't question it more and came to the kitchen, I don't know what he's cooking but it really smells good, could it be pankakes? Yeah that must be was he's cooking, I can smell the sweet scent of cinnamon and chocolate, that outta be tasty. He finishes up and then turns around to give two pancake to everyone, a total of 40 pankakes... That's alot.
"Whoa look at all those pancakes!" Denki laughed out.
"Banana and chocolate oh yes!" Jirou said all happy.
"No you dumbass it's banana coated with cinnamon and chocolate chips... You idiots can't even guess properly." He says all exaggerated.
"If Midoriya was here it would be cannibalism!" Kirishima yells as everyone laughed except me and Katsuki.
"Why would it be cannibalistic for him to eat this?" I asked confused.
"Because he's a cinnamon roll man! You can't make him eat cinnamon!" Denki said all dramatic.
"You guys are fucking retarded!" Katsuki yelled.
I did see a small smirk form on his lips though, so he did find it funny, I did too but I'm better at hiding my emotions. We finish eating and quickly clean up the dishes, it was so good that some had asked for second and now class was about to start. The dishes now cleaned, we ran to the school, as we entered the class, the bell rang. I sat at my desk and frowned, Izuku wasn't here... I look around to see everyone worriedly staring at his desk.
"Huh... Has anyone seen Midoriya this morning?" Aizawa says as he entered.
I gulped, why wasn't he here, I know he went for training but come on, could he really get that distracted?
"Um I did, I went to grab some stuff for baking this morning and I saw him at the central gym, he was still training when I left around 9h15 am." Sato said as I relaxed.
At least someone had seen him fairly recently, I turned back to Aizawa before Tokoyami spoke.
"I went to the store infront of the gym at 9h20 am and he wasn't there anymore..." He said as I felt my blood freeze.
Where was he!? Why was he late, where did he go!? I started to feel my breath get uneven until Katsuki stood up and held my shoulder.
"Hey relax Shoto, I'm sure the nerd is okay..." He says as I nod.
We all settle down and listen to Aizawa explain the basics of rescuing in a collapsing building. It's not that the lesson wasn't interesting, I just couldn't focus, what if he lost himself because of how distracted he was and can't find his way back somehow. Or what if he hurt himself and is all alone, begging for someone to help him.... Or what if a vampire found him.... And he's dying as we speak... I shake my head, if I think like this I'm going to go insane. The class ends and we head to the cafeteria to grab our lunches, I simply sat at my table and looked around, desperately trying to spot his tuff of hair somewhere in the large room. Instead I spot Katsuki, he isn't eating either, witch is rare because Katsuki loves the spicy ramen the school cook does. I stand up and walk to him slowly, he seems tense, his eyes are wide as his hands hold his hair. I slowly sit next to him, now that I'm close I can understand what's going on, his breath is rapid his eyes are shaking but staring into nothing and his fingers are pulling his hair. I grab his hands and gently pull them off his head, he looks at me with the most terrified look in his eyes, I sigh and pull him into a hug.
"Where's Deku, why isn't he here, what's happening to him right now! Shoto I don't think I can take this! It's killing me! I can feel that something isn't right!" He cries out as I held him closer.
"Just relax, I'm sure he's okay, for all we know he could be visiting his mother's grave right?" I say as he stops shaking and sighs.
"Right... Sorry... I just- He means alot to me... More than you think." He says as I let him go.
"Trust me, I have all the same fears right now, but we need to stay calm. Once school ends, well do a search if he isn't back at the dorm okay?" I say as he calms down and nods.
Aizawa's POV
I'm currently dealing with the next quiz coming up next week, it's really boring but it's important so I can't just let them be, my next class is at 3 pm. Its currrently 1 pm so I have plenty of time, suddenly my phone rings.
"Shota Aizawa speaking."
"Shigaraki, Kurogiri and Dabi have been spotted by the central street this morning, we followed them and they have a hostage, green hair little guy. They roughed him up pretty good and they won't give him back... We need backup-" He says before I hang up.
Green haired boy, shit... He did go missing! I stand up quickly, I know I should call on Bakugo and Todoroki, but I don't think they could mentally take it. I run out with my gears and make it to the central district, it's pretty much blocked off to avoid injuries and witnesses. I make it to the middle where gang orca, best jeanist, gunhead and Hawks are.
"What's the situation!?" I scream as Hawks sigh.
"The kid is over there, Dabi is holding onto him and drinks his blood everytime we get near or every 10 minutes. The kid is exhausted and has been drank from since 9h30 am... He's not going to make it at this rate." He says as I hitched my breath.
I need to save him, he may be a problem child... But hes my problem child and no one has the right to hurt him!
"What's their demand?" I asked worried.
"The usual... Allmight... But he's too weak now, they would definitely kill him..." He says shaking his head in frustration.
"Okay well is there a way we can-"
"AHHHHHHH!!!" Midorya screamed as the vampire pierced his neck.
"SHIT!" Hawks yells as we're stuck watching.
The scream stop and his body goes limp, our eyes grow wide as they throw him to the ground, his body is pale and lifeless.... No... Anything but this.
"Oh ho ho... Seems our precious hostage ran dry... And Dabi really liked his new toy. Oh well, guess the hero's failed their mission!" Shigaraki says before running away.
"Everyone in pursuit!" Best jeanist yells.
I take a last glance at Midoriya, his tears drenched cheeks, his dull eyes, his pale skin. Unfortunately we all run pass him, we can't afford to let them run away.
We can't even respect his body that was lost due to our incompetence.
