Remember (Todobaku)

Chapter Twenty-One

Being around Bakugo was always enjoyable for Todoroki. Although that was true, he realized he couldn't spend every single minute of every single day with him.

Which is why he spent the weekends with his family.

Well, every other weekend.

Sometimes he had to force himself to not go to Bakugo's room and just stay there instead of seeing his family.

Todoroki is a weird kind of person.

Those are the words of other people, but he can't blame them.

He knows he's a weird guy. It's not like he minds. It's actually something he's come to like because when he thinks about it, he wonders if that's why Bakugo had grown to like him.

Bakugo could have had a crush on Kirishima who was bright and social. A normal teenager who was manly.

He could have liked Shinso who was a little more his speed. Of course, Shinso is taken, but crushes don't care who's in relationships.

But Bakugo likes Todoroki, and Todoroki is happy.

He's never had a crush.

Not on women. Not on men. Not on others.

No one.

Todoroki kind of thought he was just one of those people who didn't feel anything romantic or sexual towards anyone at all.

That was until Bakugo.

Because wow.

Bakugo is so passionate and he doesn't always know what he wants, but he's honest.

Okay, maybe he's not all honest. He hides things from people because he feels like it's easier, but he is also so selfless.

He thinks about others in ways that Todoroki does.

It's not forward and obvious. It's more subtle and no one really realizes how caring he is.

Todoroki hates his left side. It's not as bad as it used to be. He doesn't want to scratch at his scar until it's a completely different scar anymore.

However, he does try to avoid having to do anything with his left side.

Bakugo, though, Bakugo loves his left side.

Now that it's getting colder, Bakugo lingers on Todoroki's left, trying to keep warm.

It's not subtle.

At all.

It's cute the way he inches closer little by litter until he's almost pressed up against Todoroki.

Todoroki barely even noticed at first.

Just when Bakugo was really close all of a sudden, he called Bakugo out on his proximity, and Bakugo got so red so fast, Todoroki almost asked him what was wrong.

He's slow, but eventually he realized that Bakugo was blushing.

It's hard learning to read people for social cues.

He's almost got it down.

That's a lie. He doesn't.

"Shoto, tell us more," Fuyumi says, resting her head in her hands.

Todoroki swears that she's kicking her feet in excitement under the table.

"We're not official, but he wants us to be exclusive. I really want him to be my boyfriend, though. He's also handsome. Really handsome."

Natsuo, even if he doesn't want to show it, is very interested. He can tell by the way he listens intently. He does that whenever Todoroki speaks.

"Who is it?" Natsuo asks.
