Emotionless Confessions (Todobaku)

8. Asking without answers

Bakugou's pov

I'm pacing up and down in my room, I'm sweating horribly and my hair is a mess. Fuck! I was just about to go ask Todoroki out but it's harder than I thought. I smell and look horrible, UGH! I can't ask Todoroki out like this! It's already 8.30 pm but I really have no other choice than to take a shower first. So I grab a towel and some clean clothes before making my way to the dorm bathrooms.

.

After taking a shower and throwing on some decent clothes I quickly make my way to his room. It's 9.45 pm now, I defenitely took my sweet time, jesus. And fucking hell I'm sweating again! Why is it so goddamn hot in this hallway?! I'm standing right in front of his door now and I'm panting. Shit shit shit. After taking some deep breaths to calm myself down my fist pounds on his door.

"OI ICY-HOT YOU AWAKE?!" Now he is, dumbass. Its really quiet on the other side until I hear him unlock his door. He opens it slowly and pops his head out. His red and white hair sticking out on some places. Cute.

"Do you need anything?" His voice is slightly scratchy and his eyes are just a tad puffy. Was he.. crying again? Forget asking him out, that can wait. That bastard is going to tell me what's up right fucking now!

"Lemme in, I have something to ask you." I try to push the door open but he holds it steady.

"Can't you ask me out here?"

"No, I don't want others to listen. Now let me in."

"But there's noone-" I'm not letting him finish that sentence and I put my full force against the door, making him budge a bit.

"Todoroki. Let me the fuck in."

"...Fine." He let's go of the door which takes me by surprise and I stumble into the room. Smooth.

He sits on his bed and I take the spot next to him. "Alright, stop with the bullshit. What's up with you?"

He just stares at me with that oblivious but adorable expression.

"You had a serious breakdown earlier today and you were crying again just now."

"I-"

"Don't fucking try to lie to me about it. I know you were. I can read you like a book Todoroki. I know when something is wrong and I want you to stop putting up these walls when it's just you and me."

"I'm not-

"Shoto." Shit, it just slipped out. I didn't mean to call him by his first name, not yet at least. Half-n-half definitely wasn't expecting it, his left side heating up quick which just makes me sweat more.

He speaks after a while but avoids my gaze. Shit. "Uhm.. It's nothing important really. It's just the thought of being home for the entirety of summer break. I'm just overreacting."

Fuck, I never thought about that. I know enough about his family by now and I wouldn't want to be him in that situation to be honest. Someday his sorry excuse of a father will get the karma he deserves though. And I hope I'll be there to witness it.

"What do you mean the eternity of summer break? Don't act like you're gonna be stuck in that house all summer."

He sighs. "Where else would I be, Bakugou?"

"With your friends." His eyes widen a bit at that and he finally makes eye-contact with me again.

I sigh and rub the side of my head. "I'm sure those idiots are gonna drag me around all summer and force me to stay at sleepovers. If you think I'm not dragging you down with me you're very wrong."

"..Promise me.."

"Hah?"

"Promise me you'll take me with you no matter where they're dragging you." His eyes are full of hope.

I really try not to smile and turn my head away to hide it. "Of course I will, dumbass."

A comfortable silence settles between us after that. But I still have to ask him about tomorrow.

"You're going to the party with me tomorrow." It sounds like I had no trouble saying that but it's not.

"The party? Why?"

"I told you I will drag you down with me. Tomorrow we already start with that."

"I changed my mind, I don't want you to drag me everywhere."

"The hell I will! You have no say in this! You're going whether you like it or not!!" I'm not asking him out, I'm forcing him. Great.

His soft chuckles fill the room and my entire face heats up. Fuck he's adorable. "So you're taking me out?"

HAH?! LIKE ON A DATE?! Does.. Does he want me to say-

"Yes." Alright my mouth moved before I could finish that thought. Screw that then.

He smiles and his cheeks turn a bit red. "Alright, what time will you pick me up?"

"8. You better not make me wait." I get up to leave, my cheeks are heating up more and more. I really need to get out of this room.

"8 it is." He gets up as well.

"Now go to bed and fucking text me if something is up." I open his door and step out.

"I can't promise I'll sleep, but I will text." And he closes the door behind me.

Noone:

Bakugou: It is hot as hell in this fucky ass hot ass room I'm in!
