Falling For Freckles

2. The bad boy

Izuku flopped down on his freshly made bed in his dorm room while Todoroki was finishing up unpacking some books for the greenett putting them on a bookshelf in the corner.

Izuku was lucky enough to have a room to himself for now though it could change later in the semester if it got more crowded, but as of now most students on his current floor had private rooms. Shoto's room was four doors down from his.

The greenett sat chewing the inside of his cheek as he watched his friend his mind wandering to the blonde he met downstairs just a few hours ago. If he was being honest he's been thinking about him ever since he looked into those ruby colored eyes.

" Hey Sho, the blonde downstairs that I met outside, who is he ? "

Todoroki turned around to look at his friend on the bed.

" That's Katsuki Bakugo, I told you that outside, or Kacchan as you heard it ?" , Shoto said with an amused smile.

Crimson flush spread across his cheeks.

" Ugh shut up Shoto, don't remind me! I made a complete fool of myself with the stupid name and then the tripping over my own feet" , the greenett whined putting a pillow over his face.

Todoroki laughed at his embarrassed friend as he sat on the bed.

" He didn't seem to mind his new nickname, he told you you could call him that, that's pretty shocking, normally no one would get away with that without a punch to the face."

Izuku removed the pillow from his face to look at two toned eyes, Shoto met his gaze.

" Why the the sudden curiosity about him? " Shoto questioned

Izuku shifted his gaze down to his fingers as he twisted a plain sliver band around his middle finger. He wasn't even sure why he was so curious about the blonde. Izuku avoided most people at all cost but for some reason he felt himself drawn to strong firey presence Katsuki had given off.

" I uh don't really know honestly. He just seemed nice I guess, a little blunt but .... nice?"

Izuku left out the part where he thought Katsuki was probably the hottest guy he had ever seen which was another reason he was so curious about him.

Shoto laughed slightly.

" I don't think nice is a word I would use to describe Bakugo. Kirishima, Kirishima's nice"

Izuku thought for a minute, Kirishima was nice, the redhead had made Izuku feel welcome and at ease even if he had surprised him with the arm around his neck. The greenett scrunched his face as he thought.

" If you wouldn't say that Kacc- Bakugo is nice, then what would you say he is?"

Shoto cocked a brow at his friends unwavering intrest in his teammate.

" I answered that outside too when I told you he was an ass, but beside that he's bad tempered, bad mouthed, brash, doesn't normally care what he says or how he says it. You're typical bad boy I guess you could say" Shoto finished with a shrug standing up looking at some of the greenett's cameras on top of his dresser.

" Come on Shoto, he can't be only bad, theres got to be more to him than all that" , Izuku said softly unsure why he felt defensive over this stranger he had just met.

Todoroki turned to his friend, two toned eyes met soft emerald. He sighed not liking where the greenett's interest was headed.

" Look Midoriya, just be careful around him ok, he has a reputation for leaving a long line of broken hearts behind him."
