Todoroki POV
Over the course of the weeks I've stayed here, Bakugou and I have grown closer and closer. I never thought I could, but at this point, I consider him my closest friends. Though I didn't mean for him to find out -or anyone as a matter of fact- Bakugou now knows everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. From my not particularly stable mental health to what happens when my father is home. Apparently I told him all that when I was drunk. But as expected, I can't recall a thing.
Bakugou's also the one that helps me calm down when I'm freaking out over a nightmare.
All of that aside, despite knowing those things, Bakugou treats me like he always does -though he doesn't hurl insults at me every other second. He acts a bit me kinder towards me than others but since it's not pity, I'm fine with it.
"Order food"
He hits my head with his controller.
He's sitting on the couch and I'm sitting on the floor infront of him. My backs turned to him as I look down at my phone. For some reason he has his legs resting comfortably -this comfort only applying to him- on my shoulders. But it doesn't feel as weird as you'd think -considering if I turn around, my face would be very close to his crotch.
"Ouch"
I mutter.
"Either you order food or you cook. Because I cooked yesterday"
"I'll order, I'll order."
I sigh and look up a place, where we order frequently. They have all kinds of traditional Japanese and Korean food.
"I'm ba~ack"
Bakugou's mother closes the apartment door behind her.
"Welcome back"
I say.
"How was work?"
"Exhausting. Co-workers can be so annoying"
She plops down on the couch and eyes us without a word.
"I'm gonna go pick up your dad from the airport later"
She nudges Bakugou in the side with her foot.
"But we're going on vacation tomorrow"
"What? But I have school!"
"That's the point"
She gets back up again.
Bakugou just groans annoyed.
She leaves the room and turns around the corner, probably making her way to her bedroom.
"You got something?"
Bakugou asks and leans on my head.
"Hm?"
"Food"
"Oh. Yeah. Here"
I hand him my phone.
"You still have that wallpaper?"
He asks and laughs a little.
"Couldn't be bothered to change it"
"Dude, you sound like me."
He scoffs and hits my head.
I lean my head back and hit his arm.
"I'm not a masochist. I hit back"
"Oho~ feisty~"
"Shut up"
I say laughing and he starts laughing too as he goes back to playing his video game.
The phone in my hand buzzes and I take a look at the message. A cold shiver runs down my spine and all of the happiness I felt just a second ago is reduced to ashes.
'I will be back by the end of next week. I demand to see improvement.'
My good mood comes crumbling down, as I make myself stand up. There's an aching in my heart. As if I'd been stabbed. I've felt a weird feeling like this before, but this feels different.
I want to break down into a crying and screaming fit.
"I'm tired"
I say.
"Wha- Icyhot?"
Bakugou calls after me.
"I'll be off, sweetie. I'll be back late."
Mrs. Bakugou pats my back.
"Have a nice time"
I force myself to smile and wave, then turn to go to Bakugou's room. I hear the apartment's door close.
"I don't want to"
I mutter and let myself sink to my knees on the futon.
The room's door closes behind me.
"What the fuck happened?"
Bakugou asks and my heart skips a beat.
"All good"
I lie.
"Don't lie"
"Bakugou, you can't solve everything all the time."
I say and lay down.
"I'm not trying to tho. What are you making such a fuss about?"
He takes a few steps toward me.
I don't know either.
"I'm tired. I don't want to deal with your hero and surperioirity complex right now."
"Just because you're in a bad mood, doesn't mean you can just say hurtful things."
"Sorry. I just want to be left alone, okay?"
I say. I hear him sigh and sit on the floor with a thud.
"Want a hug?"
He asks hesistantly, making my heart skip another beat.
"It's weirder if you ask"
"You can be a pain in the ass sometimes, y'know?"
He crawls under the blanket and slings his arms around me.
The weird feeling in my chest immediately fades and is replaced by the anxious fluttering of my heart.
Despite the embarrassment of having to be comforted by him non-stop, I feel at peace and....happier...I guess.
I turn around, resting my head against his chest and let out a deep sigh.
"Want to tell me what happened?"
"My fayher's coming back friday"
I say and feel Bakugou's grip tightening.
"Oh...so...you have to go back?"
"Yeah"
"I guess it won't help if I tell you not to, huh?"
"The last time I refused to 'train' with him, I couldn't go to school for a week."
"He beats his kid that badly?"
"Well...that's because I'm to weak to do anything about it."
"Why do you only say depressing things?"
"Maybe because I only think depressing things...?"
I mumble.
"What? That's not true. I like talking to you"
"Thanks, I guess"
I mutter as I feel our legs entangling.
This situation is getting harder and harder to label as an 'accident' or 'comforting'.
"...if I can't stop you from going, then at least know that if it's too much, you can come back here. Any time."
He says and I look up at him.
"Or whatever"
He adds mumbling.
I smile a little and nod, then continue to nuzzle into his hoodie...
"Thank you"
I say.
"Mhm"
He says and kisses my head. I let out a deep sigh of reli-
Wait a sec.
Did he really just kiss my head?
This is getting even weirder now.
Well...
I guess it's fine as long as he doesn't mind it...
I close my eyes and soon find myself drifting off to sleep.
