"Hey, Half-n-Half!"

Todoroki turned around, seeing Bakugou stomp towards him with an irritated snarl on his face.

"Whatever it is you wanted to talk to me about bugged me all day. It better be important!", Bakugou growled as he stopped a few feet in front of the bi-coloured boy.

"You've been acting more reckless and angry for a few days now. It was troubling me", Todoroki admitted. He noticed Bakugou getting visibly uncomfortable.

"If you're asking if there's anything going on, then you're wrong!"

"I'm just worried about you. Can I not be worried?"

"You need to worry about yourself! Now are you going to keep bothering me or do you wanna fight?!" Bakugou only raised his voice louder and got his hands out of his pockets to let off some warning sparks.

Todoroki weighed his options. He couldn't just let him have all tension build up inside him forever and he wasn't allowed to go all out during training. Todoroki sighed, making his final decision.

"Yes, actually. Let's fight"

Bakugou put his hands down in confusion. He blinked at Todoroki, wondering if he was hearing things or not. A sinister smile crept on the blond's face and he stood up straighter.
"You better get ready to get your ass kicked then, Icy Hot!"

"Alright" Todoroki shrugged "Let's meet behind the dorms after we change"

"Fine! Whatever!" Bakugou rolled his eyes. Although he was happy he could get changed. He already had to get a new school uniform before and that was expensive as shit.

Both boys got changed in their separate dorm rooms. Everyone else was in the dorms, either hanging out with each other in the common area or relaxing in their rooms after the long day. Todoroki and Bakugou didn't tell anyone about the fight they were going to have. They knew a few people who were going to tattle on them. (Hint hint, Iida)

Meeting a few yards behind the dorms, Bakugou met Todoroki wearing his usual skull tank top and some army green sweatpants, along with some slippers. Todoroki waited for him, wearing a white-tee with a blue button up and some grey jeans. He wore his usual shoes.

Bakugou stood a couple feet away from Todoroki, staring him down. Todoroki wasn't sure how to go about this. Did he make the right decision?
He snapped out of his thoughts as Bakugou mad ethe first move, firing himself up into the air with a large explosion. A trail of smoke followed behind him and covered him as he slowed down in the air.

Todoroki activated his ice quirk and quickly dodged Bakugou, retreating with an ice wall and moving away from him. Bakugou expected to hit his opponent but instead sent an explosion to the ground and fell over. He recouped himself and stood up, facing Todoroki with a confident grin.
"You're pretty ice tricks won't phase me!"

Todoroki was ready to use his fire quirk when the word 'pretty' stunned him for just a second. Without another thought, Bakugou was right in his face, about to send a left swing to his chest. Todoroki needed to think quick in order to not get blasted to bits.

Panicking, he lifted his arm up and leaned back, shooting out ice towards Bakugou. Bakugou didn't have time to react and his arm got covered in ice. Todoroki almost fell over but he stopped himself by breaking his fall with his arm.  He gave Bakugou a swift kick to his stomach and sent him tumbling over. Bakugou hit the ground and just kept rolling over and stumbling before he was able to lay still. That wouldn't stop him though. Both boys got up, panting and sweaty. Bakugou still had some ice on his arm. He created an explosion towards the ground and got most of it off, the rest falling off on his own.
