Emotionless Confessions (Todobaku)

6. Hidden jealousy

I got my tongue pierced yesterday after I published chapter 5 so I honestly forgot to update again after that. Whoops

Bakugou's pov

Where the hell is icy-hot?! He stormed off quite a while ago and the bastard didn't even come back to help us clean up and finish the last things for the party. He just ditched his own class. Why the fuck?

Our stupid caterpillar teacher comes over to me and Kirishima. "Have you two seen Todoroki?

I scoff "Son of a bitch bolted a while ago. No idea where he fuckin went."

"Get him back here please, I have some stuff to discuss to the class about tomorrow."

You gotta be fucking kidding me!! "WHY ME?!"

"Because I said so." And then he just turns away and leaves me standing here with the stupid task of finding that half-n-half bastard!!

I kick a stone, almost hitting Kirishima, and stomp off towards the UA building. I don't think Todoroki would just run off like that unless he's having some weird depression fit. And if that's the case I know where he is.

.

I stomp through the UA hallways while texting the bastard

Me: 'WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!'

Todoroki: 'Same spot as always'

Fucking knew it. Weirdo is having another fit. Man why do I need to deal with this?

Now stomping faster through the hallways I make my way to a certain back door which leads to a small garden with flowers.

(Trigger warning)

"ICY-HOT?! BEHIND WHICH FLOWER ARE YOU HIDING?!" I follow the sound of soft crying and stumble upon him sitting against a tree in the shade, hugging his legs and.. clenching onto a razor blade. Shit.

I crouch in front of him. "Can you let go of that for me? You know that's a horrible way to lessen the pain in your chest." I can't help but get soft on him when he gets like this. I hate admitting it but he means a whole lot to me.

It takes him a while but he eventually lets go of the blade, the thing falling in the grass and I take my chance to pick it up and put it in my back pocket. I'll flush it down the toilet later.

I fixate my eyes on him again and am now staring into his beautiful dual colored eyes- WAIT NO! UGLY! NOT BEAUTIFUL! NOT NOW GAY THOUGHTS!!

He sniffs and wipes his eyes, putting on his emotionless expression again. "Did Aizawa sent you to look for me?.."

I huff "He did. But you should know by now I would have come looking for you on my own will eventually, dumbass."

He turns his head away from me and I internally curse at the loss of those gorgeous orbs.

"Why tho? Do you care about me?"

I'm sorry what? I want to punch him for asking that. Yes I'm a fucking asshole and I act like I don't give a shit about anyone but my friends should know by now I care. Especially Todoroki. It's so hard to say or express how much I care about him. On a friendship level. If we were dating I would kiss- NOT NOW GAY THOUGHTS!

I snap out of my thoughts and am yet again staring in his eyes. Fuck how long have I been staring without answering?! "You know I think you're tolerable." Nice save Katsuki.

"Tolerable doesn't necessarily mean you care."

"Maybe I do care."

"A maybe isn't an answer."

FOR FUCK SAKE!! "Oh my God, YES I fucking care now please shut up!"

He smiles a little at that and I'm sure my face is pretty much a tomato now. He's so fucking pretty I want to punch him in the face! Don't tell anyone that.

Wait shit! Because of my gayness and him being stunning I totally forgot about the thing he dropped before!

(TW)

My face turns serious. "Is it bad?"

His expression tells me he has no idea what I'm talking about. Dumbass. "Your arms, Todoroki."

"Oh.. Oh, uhm.. I didn't do anything. Not yet.." he mumbles the last part.

(Save to read again)

I sigh "Good enough for now. We should probably get back to the field now."

He nods and gets up but speaks again after I turn to leave "Hey Bakugou.. Thank you."

Fuck icy-hot you can't just do that. I mumble a quick "Whatever" and we make our way back to the others.

We're slowly getting into the fluff, but a little angst is always necessary. By the way, Shoto's small breakdown isn't just because of Bakugou and Kirishima. You'll find out in a future chapter
