"Hey Todoroki...I'm sorry" He muttered, before leaving.

The next morning Todoroki awoke with a vague recollection of what had transpired the night before. Honestly he didn't care that much about it, now if only that were true for his hot-headed classmate as well.

'Fuck fuck fuck FUCK' Bakugo thought to himself.
'I can't keep screwing up like this...I almost lost him once I can't risk that again cause we'll be over for sure the next time it happens'
'I gotta do something to make it up to him...'
'Wait'
'WHY DO I CARE SO MUCH?!'

Shoto left his room, his school bag slung over his shoulder like always. Walking down the hallway he felt a presence trailing a few feet behind him.
"Midoryia. Can I help you?" He asked monotonously.
"H..How did you know it was me?" Deku asked, surprised the taller had been able to deduce his identity with such accuracy. His pace accelerated to catch up with his friend.
"I just did. Now, can I help you?" Todoroki reiterated, not even sparing a single glance at his classmate.
"Uh..No just..wanted to catch up, we haven't had a real conversation in a while and..You know since we're friends and all I thought maybe...we could talk! N-Not about anything specific just friendly conversation heh..B-But if you don't want to that's totally okay as well! I mean maybe you're in a rush or you've got other things on your mind or even-" Izuku mumbled on, having completely lost the other the moment it took longer than a second to make his point.
"Midoryia-"
"Piss off nerd." Shoto's eyes widened, though not by much as he recognized the voice immediately.
"Ah Kacchan! Sorry I was mumbling again.."
"Yeah you fucking were. Now go die in a ditch before I drag you there myself." Bakugo growled, grabbing his fuck buddy by the arm and storming off.
'Kacchan will be Kacchan' The greenette told himself.

"Thanks." Shoto acknowledged the blond's efforts in rescuing him from an awkward social interaction.
"Don't mention it Halfie just figured you were sick of the nerd's senseless rambling." Katsuki rolled his eyes at the mere thought of what he had just bore witness to.
"Sleep well?" The younger asked, his tone much less hostile than earlier.
"More or less...how about you?" Todoroki hummed at the question, an almost-smile ghosted across his lips.
"I slept fine until about 1:15 in the morning" He said, and Bakugo mentally winced.
'Crap he's still upset about that, I really have to fix this before it gets out of hand again'
"Look Shoto about last night-"
"I'm pulling your leg Blondie. It's okay, don't worry about it." The taller boy chuckled, seeing the poorly hidden panic on his benefactor friend's face.
"Hmph. I was just tryna apologize again but I guess you don't wanna hear it" Katsuki tried to escape but to no avail.
"Oh no I absolutely want to hear it. You apologize once in a blue moon I'm not missing this golden opportunity."
"Tsk. Fine. I'm sorry about last night." He said through gritted teeth.
"Apology accepted." Todoroki smiled, whether or not that made Bakugo smile involuntarily as well is irrelevant.

Classes were mundane as usual, serving little to no purpose to Bakugo as he already considered himself to be a genius in everything. The same could be said about Todoroki, though his ego wasn't quite as inflated.
"Did you take any notes?" The latter questioned, to which the former snorted.
"Thought not." Shoto sighed. "We should study for the upcoming English test, like actually study. No...other stuff."
"But that's the best part!"
"Don't make me revoke my forgiveness." Katsuki's snide remarks died on his tongue and he backed off immediately.
"...You're scared of upsetting me, aren't you?" The peppermint head asked, noticing the lack of comeback.
"What?! Fuck no. I thrive on your displeasure." The other scowled, his words as fake as plastic.
"Then why aren't you snapping back at me like you always do?"
"Cause I don't feel like it."
"Liar. You're scared of me rejecting your apology and getting mad at you because of what you did." Todoroki said, connecting the dots.
"I couldn't care less if your sorry ass was pissed at me or not, okay Icyhot?" Bakugo retaliated.
"False. False false false. You already fucked up once, and now you're worried I'll end things for good if you fuck up again."
'Goddamnit I forgot he's smart as shit' The older said internally.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night Halfie" He realized his poor of choice of words nanoseconds later.
"Certainly not you" Shoto sneered.
"Oh for FUCKS sake." Deciding he wasn't going to deal with this now or ever, the crimson eyed male stormed off, again.

"What do you think that was about?" Kirishima asked Kaminari, seeing their angry blond friend walking away from their duotone classmate, visibly aggravated.
"Dunno. Maybe Todoroki said something that got under his skin?"
"Everything gets under his skin" The redhead chuckled. "But it's not in Todoroki's character to want to intentionally annoy Bakubro. And if they were arguing then why isn't Todobro also upset?"
"Huh that's true, he looks almost content." The electric blond noticed.
"There's definitely something up with them I just can't figure out what it is." Eijiro sighed
"Maybe the girls can help, you know they love to be involved in this sort of drama." Denki offered.
"Hmm, you know what? I think we can handle this on our own." Kiri declared.
"Sure you can." Mina giggled, Jirou and Momo trailing behind.
"Fine, let's have a competition. Girls versus boys. First group to figure out whatever big secret those two are hiding wins!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"Deal." Mina shook his hand, Jirou silently slipped away, knowing she had an unfair advantage.
"So, what does the winner get?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"I uh...didn't think that far ahead..."
Kirishima just facepalmed.
