[It's only been a week since he and Todoroki stopped talking to each other, but Izuku thinks it's possibly one of the worst weeks of his life. Not only has he hurt his best friend--unforgivable in his own eyes--but even after all the sleepless nights of searching, reading as much material as he can find on breaking mate bonds, Izuku comes up empty-handed.
They could fade, with time, of course, but bonds like that could take years to dissolve completely. Knowing this, and remembering how he'd taken that choice from Todoroki makes the guilt eat away at Izuku. There's no way to avoid this any longer. He and Todoroki have to talk--this is all his fault. Even if he can't break the bond, Izuku will have to do whatever he can to make this up to Todoroki. It's...a conversation that Izuku isn't looking forward to, but he has to do it. It wouldn't be right to leave Todoroki to deal with the bond on his own.]
Todoroki-kun, can we talk?
[He sends the message before he can put it off any longer.]
