UNDONE [Todoroki Shoto x reader]

37: we fucked up

"Still cold?" Todoroki asked as the two of you were heading back to UA. The sun had long set, and the cold had started to set in for the night. For nearly an hour had you and Todoroki been thanked by the civilians that had been present while the police had desperately tried to get a statement of some sort for their report.

Though, you both had scrambled before the reporters could ask you both questions. You had nearly been frozen to the bone before he had hauled you into a store so you could get clean and dry clothes.

"No, I think the third cup of hot cocoa did the trick," you responded with a crooked smile as you gestured to the cup in your hand that was still steaming hot. After the clothing store, he had force-fed you warm drinks, combined with the fleece hoodie, you were almost sweating despite the cold temperatures.

All of your soaked clothes lay in a plastic bag that he let loosely dangle from his fingertips, the fabric rustled ever so slightly with each step he took. His other hand was tangled with yours, ensuring that he kept his left side warm enough to keep you close to a boiling temperature.

"I am so sorry," he exhaled after a while. "This was not what I intended at all."

"No need to apologize," you gently nudged him in the side, "Despite the villain attack, I've had fun today."

He let out a scoff, that almost sounded like a chuckle.

"Yeah, me too," he admitted after a while.

Todoroki came to a small halt as you both stopped outside of UA, and the tall walls that separated you from the dorm area. He looked at the sterile walls for a moment, then back towards you. The silence between the two of you was comfortable, filled with unspoken words and the shared understanding of your feelings. 

Todoroki took a small step closer, closing the distance between them. Your breath hitched as your heart rate quickened in your chest. 

"I'd like to do this again," he spoke softly, his voice a gentle whisper in the cold winter wind. "Minus the villain attack and all."

You couldn't help but chuckle, "Yeah, me too." 

Todoroki gently cupped your cheek, his thumb caressing it softly. The tender gesture made a shiver run down your spine, and butterflies soar in your gut. In that quiet moment, with the lights from the UA's wall as witnesses, Todoroki leaned in, and your lips met in a tender, lingering kiss. Time seemed to stand still as you slipped into the sweetness of the moment, and the taste of hot chocolate on his lips. 

"Can the two of you stop sucking face for two fucking seconds?" Bakugo's voice snapped you out of the trance you had been in, making you abruptly back away from the kiss. Fifteen seconds ago, Bakugo had definitely not been standing in the open gateway to UA, his arms crossed over his chest as a deep furrow rested in between his eyebrows.

Todoroki and Bakugo stared at one another, practically throwing daggers as you could feel the annoyance radiate from Todoroki.

"Have you two absolute idiots any idea what the hell you just did?" Bakugo spat out, breaking the intense eye contact with Todoroki only to look at you. Disappointment lingered in every crook and cranny of Bakugo's face, and it made you cower. He had never looked like this, carrying his dismay as a damned cloak.

"What do you mean?" Todoroki asked, his hand subtly tightening around your back as if to shield you from whatever Bakugo's response could be.

"Aizawa is fucking livid. Hell, the UA board is too. If I had known that the two of you would fucking kiss on live TV like two morons, I never would have helped you get this date in order," Bakugo sneered.
