Huh? - •Bakugou x Midoriya•

2. Stay Zipped

(Third-Person POV)

It's only natural that both Katsuki and Izuku have been thinking about one another through the whole morning. After all the havoc, it's still can't compare to what the feeling is of awkwardness stabbing them both whenever they're next to one another.

Today was just another day, Izuku's hands have healed after visiting the medic and is noticeably in better shape. You could simply hear by the tone of his voice, he was the same Deku as always.

Whereas Katsuki. Stomped through the UA's halls, back slouched with his scarf covering half his face. Eyes were darting towards him as if they all said, 'here he goes again.'

He was stopped though, by a sharp and solid hand. Katsuki lifted his head, his jaw clenched and crinkled nose until he figured it's just Kirishima.

The redhead pulled himself back and raised a brown of confusion. "What's gotten your panties in a twist today? Sheesh."

Katsuki sucked his upper teeth and grinder them violently. "You know that shit. THAT shit you told me to send this chick yeah? Well, I sent it to-" he stopped to shake his head.

Kirishima moved forward, "Who...?" He waited, he was for a fact a huge lover of drama or anything that is related to secrecy.

"Deku..." he mumbled.

"Wha-?"

"DEKU." He said louder.

Katsuki was in shame, thinking it's the end of the world or something, quite like a little kid would behave.

Kirishima smirked and tried finding the fun of the situation, "Did he like it though?" Which he then received a punch in the gut, connected so fast that he didn't see it coming his way.

Kirishima held his stomach, "Ow, I was only joking y'know." His voice was laboured and he still held a smirk in place.

"I know that I'm done with this shit now, I'm never online dating. That shit's so fucking dumb." The exploder stated.

"It's because you're not trying, c'mon you'll find someone after a few-"

Bakugou clenched his jaw in a violent motion,
"I'm not doing that shit again, I fucking hate women. They're a waste of time and money." He snapped back with his arms crossed.

"-You can't say that..." the other commented.

"Well, I fucking did."

Meanwhile, for Izuku he has finally found his time to take care of all the things he missed out on due to countless hours of training.

His personality sprung with cheery positivity as always. However it is a cover of what he's truly thinking about and I think you guys know.

He has been dying to tell someone about what had happened, perhaps Todoroki could hear him out but he would just revert to teasing him.

Izuku was dashing through the hallway and made sure he could find his normal group of friends but ended up finding himself alone.

He scratched the back of his head awkwardly, you could tell he was slightly annoyed about not having anyone to talk to.

That was before a cold breeze hit him so suddenly against his face, behind him was a two-sided quirk user. None other than Todoroki.

Izuku jumped, startled by the other student.

"Morning, Izuku." he greeted politely, looking past at his odd way of meetings. He always wore a half-smile which felt genuine, probably why he often gets along with everyone.

Izuku held his composure, who is he fooling... he's so easily scared by the smallest things. He turned to him and froze.

"Do you have to sneak up on me al the time, I thought I wouldn't find anyone. Where is everyone?" Izuku asked.

The half and half boy's eyes wandered off in thought with his thumb resting over his chin, it was a long moment but nothing traced his mind.

"Not sure, Iida has been with Ururaka alone often. Might be something going on there but it's not my business." Todoroki commented.

"Wait... you mean-" Izuku gestures his two index fingers by placing them together in insinuation.

"Possibly."

Izuku's eyes popped open but slowly narrowed their way back, maybe it wasn't such a weird thing after all.

"So what have you been up to? Training? You need rest, rest is the best medicine to the mind." Todoroki said.

Of course, Izuku rolled his eyes and chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah. I already did and I'm on a break from it for a bit until Summer starts," he replied.

Izuku suddenly had remembered yesterday and his heart decided to rush his whole body with embarrassment, which Todoroki instantly recognized.

"Oh, forgot to tell you about what happened over text with Kacchan!" Izuku's hand covered his mouth.

"I'm scared... but tell me."

"He accidentally sent a photo of him shirtless to me. My life flashed before my eyes, Shoto." Izuku dramatized.

"Well, you did say it was a mistake so that shouldn't be anything to worry about, unless..." he stopped but continued in his thought.

"What unless?"

"You could hold that against him," Todoroki smirked.

"NO WAY, I WOULD NEVER DO THAT." Izuku panicked, flailing his arms around.

"Was the picture good at least?" he asked in a reserved tone and laughed quietly to himself.

Izuku's jaw dropped at the comment and he proceeded to walk away from the disastrous student.

Izuku confidently strutted his way across with his eyes closed in a petty manner, not noticing where he's going.

He harshly bumped into a solid figure, very muscly and warm with a scent of irresistible caramel-flavoured sweat.

Slowly looking into his eyes, he knew by just looking below his face that is was Bakugou. Izuku's spine sent a windy chill down his spine.

"Oi, watch where the fuck you're goi-" Bakugou's eyes turned into sharp darts and his face was alarmingly composed.

He extends his hand over to the green-haired boy's shoulder and clasped it tightly.

"You. Stay fucking quiet about it." He said, leaving him alone to be frozen in time.

"Ah, Kacchan is so going to kill me." Izuku thought to himself
