chapter 5

After dinner is study time.

Todoroki does not know why that is, exactly.

With everyone full from their meals, it's rather easy to fall asleep while trying to retain pertinent information. That's why he prefers to study before dinner. That way he can go to bed immediately after if he so chooses.

But he doesn't.

He almost never chooses to go to bed right after dinner.

Not when after dinner time is Bakugou time.

As the others lose steam, bidding yawned filled "goodnights" and slowly dragging their tired bodies to bed, Todoroki makes his way to Bakugou's room.

He does so by taking the staircase since the incredibly tired students will most definitely opt for the elevator instead. It's because these meetings with Bakugou are a secret. The blond made mention how he didn't like having others in his business and Todoroki agreed. Their classmates are incredibly nosy.

Besides, if they find out that Todoroki is spending so much time with him, they'll probably try to do the same. And he doesn't want that. Todoroki likes his time with Bakugou and he doesn't want to share it any more than he has to.

He doesn't knock. He doesn't need to. Not when he knows Bakugou has left it unlock. And so after checking to make sure no one is around, Todoroki slips inside. He locks the door behind him, doing so because their classmates aren't good at knocking. They've had too many close calls and so they both decided to be more mindful about locking the door behind themselves.

But when he walks into the room he finds Bakugou already asleep, his face resting against his open textbook.

He knows that he's already studied—opting to study before dinner like Todoroki. Still, sleeping like that will surely leave him with an aching neck once he wakes up.

Todoroki walks over, ready to wake the blond up and direct him to his perfectly comfortable bed.

But he stops.

Bakugou is...

Yes, Bakugou is attractive.

But as Todoroki leans in and fully inspects his face, he realizes that he's beautiful. Truly, and honestly, beautiful.

His blond lashes are so long, and thick, brushing against the tops of his cheeks. His cheeks are a bit chubby still, and Todoroki will wager anything that they're soft and squishy. He's tempted to poke them, but the temptation disappears just as soon as it came when he looks at his lips.

Soft, pink, and pouty.

Kissable.

That's what Camie would say. And Todoroki would absolutely agree with her.

He leans back a bit to take in the boy as a whole once again and comes to the same conclusion. Absolutely beautiful.

And then he reaches his hand out. He does it before he even knows what he's doing. He knows he shouldn't. But his hand is already in motion and it has a mind of its on, Todoroki is only along for the road.

His hand lands in Bakugou's hair and he lets out a small, unintentional giggle.

Soft.

He was right.

His hair is soft, thick too. And as he combs his fingers through it, lightly scratching his scalp with his dull nails, Bakugou lets out a small, contented moan and then leans into his touch.

Todoroki snatches his hand back and looks at it in disbelief.

His face is on fire and it's feeling a little hard to breathe. He turns toward the door but just as he is about to leave he hears some talking outside, so he turns back toward Bakugou. But the blond seems to be rousing, if his wriggling is anything to go by.

So Todoroki goes with the second best option.

He goes out the window.

His room is directly above so he climbs up, hoisting himself up and thanks his past self for leaving his window open.

As soon as he drops onto his dorm room floor, Todoroki dives onto his futon and covers himself with his blanket. His heart is beating out of his chest and his hand feels hot despite not activating his quirk at all. His face feels equally as hot and he places his cold hand on his face, trying to cool himself off.

The effort is wasted when he feels like he's melting the cooling effect rather than being cooled down.

Bakugou Katsuki is a lot of things, Todoroki knows this.

He's gruff and grumpy and brash and blunt. He's loud and hotheaded. But he's also incredibly kind and understanding. Caring and sweet. He's secretly incredibly softhearted, too.

Bakugou is incredibly good at academics and athletics. He has a great mastery of his quirk and is getting better at it every day. He's determined and focused—chasing his goal of being the number one hero.

He's loyal and trustworthy. It might seem hard to get close to him—to become friends with him or to even hold his respect—but once you've obtained them, he'll do anything and every he can to take care of you. He's protective and won't let those close to him, by any means, talk down on themselves.

Bakugou Katsuki is a lot of things, Todoroki knows this.

But now he knows that he's incredibly seductive. Sexy, even. Most times unintentionally so.

He's also incredibly beautiful.

Todoroki is heralded as the most attractive guy in 2-A, and he never thought too much about that title. But now he thinks he's unworthy. Wholly and totally unworthy. Because it belongs to Bakugou.

And then he's hit by another surprising epiphany.

It keeps him awake all night.
