Bakugou's p.o.v

I watched in embarrassment as my mom showed Todoroki some of my baby pictures. He starts to chuckle at one of them. "Okay, that one is very cute." He says while looking at me, desperately trying to get me to look back at him. I just keep staring away with a hint of blush on my face and the tips of my ears.

They were on a picture of me in a bathtub full of bubbles. I was pouting in the photo. "Apparently he didn't like bubble baths. He said they were too girly." The hag said, starting to poke at my side.

I pushed her hand anyway. "Are we done here? It's been like 15 minutes- how many damn photos could you possibly have of me?"

"Katsuki, you are my only child. I have tons of pictures of you." She states proudly.

"Uh-huh, and that is exactly why we should stop now. You can show them to him another time." I stand up from the couch.

"So there will be another time, Bakugou?" Todoroki asks, hopefulness seeping through his monotone voice.

"I didn't say that." I look over my shoulder as I walk to the kitchen.

"He did say that-" the hag begins to speak.

"HAG WHAT THE HELL-"

"So, what do you do, Todoroki?" She says ignoring me.

I sigh and decide to start cooking, since the old man fell asleep on the love seat and the old hag was talking to Todoroki.

"This is delicious." Todoroki continues to stuff his mouth with the curry I made. He picks up his bowl of rice the downs that too.

"You must have been extra fucking hungry." I say, then I take my thumb and wipe away the rice that was stuck to his mouth. "So messy."

"Am I really?" He furrows his brows.

"Shut up, you don't have to reply every damn time I say something."

"But it would be rude not to." He says, and goes to pick up the bowl of curry again.

"Just shut it and finish your food." Just then I look over at my parents and see that they saw our whole interaction. I huff and try to ignore their stares by eating my food. But of course, one of them had to see something.

"This food is really-" My dad tries to speak up only to be stopped by my old hag.

"So, when did you two meet?" She asks with an eyebrow raised.

Todoroki looks over at me with a little bit of sauce on his face. Which of fucking course made him look adorable. I start to stare a little too long and look away. "About two weeks ago. why?"

A smirk is plastered on her face. "Ah. Ok. Don't you guys hang out a lot?" She asks amused. "I mean, it's fairly odd that my hot headed son would bring someone over after meeting them only two weeks prior, or even think to keep in touch with that person."

Todoroki took a turn to speak. "I'm not really supposed to be here, I suppose." He sets his bowl down and wipes away the sauce on his face with a napkin. "You see, I came over this morning to give Bakugou a Christmas present, it just so happened that I interfered with his plans for the day and he allowed me to tag along." He looks over a me as if he was asking if he was okay to say anything. I just give a small nod and he continues, "I guess you can say we've became friends." He looks back over to my mother.

I sigh in relief. If he'd say anything related to what happened this morning I wouldn't have been able to live another day. I wouldn've off myself before my parents had a chance to question me.

"Oh how wonderful, I haven't seen any one of Katsuki's interest since Eijirou. Lovely boy was he." She sighs.

"Mom, I really don't want to hear that name right know." I shake my head slightly.

Todoroki looks confused then concerned.

We continue to eat in silence, only the sound of silverware to be heard.

"Alright boys have a safe trip back." The old man waves us off at the door.

Todoroki nods slightly, "it was nice meeting you. thank you for having me, and for the lunch."

"See ya, old man." I pat his shoulder, "stay in touch, will ya?" He nods and then we head back to my car.

The ride back to my place was hella quiet.

I understand that if I ask all the questions that I have, Todoroki would answer. Because that's just how he is, but I don't want to trigger anything.

I look over to him as he watches the tv. Right now there was a Christmas moive on, and I can clearly see the sparkles in his eyes causing me to chuckle.

He turns to face me, "what?" He furrows he brows once again in confusion. "Is there something on my face?"

"No." I laugh. "Is the movie interesting?" I look over to the tv then back at him. "You look like you were enjoying it." I smile at him. Which felt amazing to do.

I think I caught him off guard, judging the look on his face. It's true I don't smile often. Hell, I rather lose all my fame then smile more than I do. But with Todoroki it's different. I don't really think twice before I do with him. I feel open to do what I want in the moment, whether the outcome is good or bad. It's a familiar feeling i felt the first time I fell in love. With Eijirou. But it's better in a way. It feels like it's the first time, like I'm back in Highschool.

"Hey, Bakugou." He says, to catch my attention. I look over to him. "Your smile is amazing." He closes his eyes in bliss. "You're amazing."
