'𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄'

Todoroki's classes continued decently, he had to be excused to the restroom due to the sudden overpower of his quirk. 'How troublesome..' he mumbled to himself as he wrapped the bandage wrap around his right arm which had been bruised and burned. Todoroki hated this. He barely understood the lessons once he returned from the restroom. It was utterly stupid to him. Perhaps, something must've been triggering his quirk. 

Bakugou had returned, not intentionally for the school day. Todoroki was walking to his dorm while he spotted Bakugou on his phone. He looked irritated but calm, Todoroki was still mindlessly questioning himself about last night's thought. He felt a tap on his shoulder that made him shudder. "Todoroki!" The voice spoke, Komori began hugging and being all clingy towards Todoroki. He could see Bakugou from a distance, he looked irritated and disgusted.

Bakugou shook his head then walked past the couple, while he was passing by, Shouto and him gave glares to one another. Komori hadn't noticed Katsuki, he was smiling in the crook of Todoroki's neck. Todoroki sighed, he grabbed Komori's shoulder and pushed him against the all. Komori watched Todoroki grunt as if he was trying to fight an urge. "Is everything alright Todoroki?" he asked staring at the heterochromia male. Todoroki froze. He wasn't sure if he wanted to say it, but he meant it. He began sweating and the heat grew intense as Komori watched in confusion. "I- I, I've got to go" He said stumbling on his words, he sprinted away. 

'Idiot, Idiot, Idiot, Idiot..' He cursed to himself as he slammed the restroom door shut. He walked over to the mirrors and looked at the stupidity in his face. But he wasn't thinking about Komori, he was thinking about why he didn't confess the truth. As he knew, Komori wasn't a permanent part of his life, if he wasn't going to confess, Komori might as well get board with him. Either way, he had to get Komori out of his already stressing life. The heat became less intense as Todoroki's left side began activating. His breath went back to a normal pace and his heart stopped pounding. 

The door flung open. Bakugou was standing right beside Todoroki. The two were staring at each other awkwardly, when suddenly Bakugou's words spat out of his mouth. "The fuck?" He looked at Todoroki up and down. "I- Uh. Sorry" Todoroki muttered as Bakugou was still standing there looking like a confused fool who had just been through a traumatic  day at school.

Bakugou glared at Todoroki, then he went to towards the sink next to Todoroki and rinsed his arm which had been soaked in some blood. "Bakugou, are you alright?" He questioned looking at the bleeding arm, in which Bakugou responded with, "I'm fine." He muttered under his breath. Bakugou reached the cabinet for anything to wrap up the bleeding. Todoroki continued staring at the blonde who eventually spoke, "Take a picture, it'll last longer". Todoroki snapped back to reality and apologised before heading out the restroom. 

Bakugou pulled out the bandage wrap and it seemingly helped his arm. Maybe if Kirishima didn't randomly activate his quirk he wouldn't have been in that situation with his rival. He thought of Todoroki. Todoroki looked like he was in the middle of something personal. But Bakugou disturbed him. Bakugou thought, he thought about how Todoroki apologised. How he kindly asked if Bakugou was alright. Bakugou gave in, he let out a small smirk. He then realised, 'I'm going weak for him..' was all he thought while walking to his dorm. 

Mitsuki Bakugou, would always say, "Knock it out Katsuki!" Whenever young Bakugou attempted to blast Izuku into a tree. Bakugou shouldn't go weak for Todoroki. In his mind, They were rivals and Bakugou was 'determined' to keep it that way.. He couldn't throw away his ego for one guy. He groaned as he flopped on the floor like a dead animal after being shot. 

Todoroki was charming, he had the same intentions in life as Bakugou did. They wanted to do better. In other words, Sometimes they never felt like they did enough. Bakugou pulled himself off the ground and sat himself down on the empty chair near his desk. 

Todoroki was still guttering over the situations he'd dealt with. Now he was worrying about Bakugou, and what his thoughts were. He'd probably assume Todoroki was weakening, how pathetic of him to let go of himself that easily. His hands clumsily gripped his hair while his mind was heavily filling itself with mental thoughts. Now, Komori probably wouldn't stop bugging him about the situation. And Bakugou. Bakugou would carry on with his life with a devilish smirk every time he walked past Todoroki. He gulped, he was growing scared of Bakugou. He knew for a fact, Bakugou would've not cared anyways, and that his only priority was to prove to Todoroki that he could accomplish better. 

He felt tears form in his eyes, the soon dribbled down his chin. Todoroki didn't like to cry, it reminded him clearly of when Rei used to cry. He loved his mother dearly, but he hated seeing her suffer. During his young ages, Todoroki discovered why his mother cried. It was the mental pain she had been facing for years. He didn't choose for anybody to suffer, it happened and it could've continued. 

Todoroki was pissed at himself. Being that weak while facing your own rival. He wiped the tears away and pulled out his phone. If he couldn't wait, or say it, he might as well just do it over messages. He had to end the cycle. He went to Komori's profile and thought of a polite way to say this. He needed to prove everyone, and himself he wasn't weak. He couldn't give in. He had to contain himself, and thats what he was preparing for. Komori was online which startled him mentally. 

He typed a 'I' on the text box then quickly deleted it sensing that Komori might see him typing. He finally thought of a text to wrap it all up. He typed, then stopped. No, he couldn't. He was, if he gave it all. If he actually tried, and didn't just stick up to his body, again. 

'I can't' was all he thought to his lost mind. All he did was pull more stress onto him, now it was like carrying a full mass on him. 

Todoroki did the same thing before, he chickened out. He was afraid he might hurt Komori. He didn't want that, he just wanted to stop the romance. 

But it might never occur.
