Blazing Hearts (Todobaku Fanfiction)✔️

Bakugou's plans of a solo grocery run were rapidly disintegrating as one by one, his classmates added to his shopping list. "Get me some of those spicy chips!" Kaminari chimed in, while Uraraka wanted some mochi ice cream. His temper was on a short fuse when he shouted, "Why do I feel like everyone's personal shopper?!"

Amidst the ruckus, Shoto smoothly slid in. "I could join you, Bakugou. Help carry stuff."

Bakugou squinted suspiciously, "What's your angle, Icyhot?"

Midoriya, ever eager to help, offered, "I'll come too! Three is better than two, right?"

Mina, sensing an opportunity for mischief, grabbed Midoriya's arm. "No, no, Deku! You have...umm...a study session! Yes, with me! So, you two," she pointed at Shoto and Bakugou, "should head out alone."

With a grumble and a sigh, Bakugou resigned to his fate and headed out with Shoto trailing behind.

As they navigated the store's aisles, their banter occasionally disrupted the quiet hum of the grocery store. Shoto playfully placed a cucumber against Bakugou's face, declaring, "For your skincare routine." Bakugou retorted with a smirk, "Like you'd know anything about skincare."

However, their playful banter was interrupted when a group of masked figures burst into the store, weapons in hand. "Nobody move, or we'll shoot!"

Shoppers froze, some letting out terrified gasps. But the two U.A. students were quick to react. Shoto whispered a quick plan to Bakugou, who nodded in agreement. As Bakugou began subtly creating smoke to obscure the robbers' vision, Shoto started creating icy paths to trip them.

But just as it seemed they had the upper hand, Shoto noticed a little girl separated from her mother, directly in the line of fire of one of the gunmen. Without a second thought, he lunged forward, shielding the child with his body. A gunshot rang out, echoing eerily in the now silent grocery store.

Bakugou, fueled by a mix of fear and rage, unleashed a powerful explosion, subduing the remaining culprits. With the threat neutralized, he raced to Todoroki's side, finding him wounded but conscious.

"The girl," Shoto gasped, "is she...?"

Bakugou quickly reassured him, "She's fine, thanks to you."

Not wasting a moment, Bakugou hoisted Shoto in his arms, surprising the latter. "You...could've just called an ambulance," Shoto remarked, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Bakugou rolled his eyes, "Shut up, Icyhot. We're getting you help, and that's final."

At the hospital, as Shoto was being treated, the duo shared a quiet moment, an unspoken acknowledgment of the bond that had been strengthened amidst the grocery store's aisles.

Back at the dorms, the story of their brave escapade spread. Mina, with a dramatic sigh, declared, "This is why I shop online." The room erupted in laughter, but the admiration for Bakugou and Todoroki was evident in every eye.
