Embers of Affection (todobaku NSFW story)

CHAPTER 12: Under the Stars

As the day of rigorous training came to a close, the students of Class 1-A retreated to their dorms, seeking relaxation and camaraderie after a long day. In the common room, laughter filled the air as they gathered to watch a movie together. But amidst the chatter and excitement, one pair was notably absent: Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki.

Kirishima, ever observant, pointed this out to the group. "Hey, where's Bakugo and Todoroki?"

Izuku glanced around before offering a guess. "They're probably on the rooftop. They like to go up there to relax and watch the stars."

Iida, always the responsible one, nodded in agreement. "I'll go check on them."

With that, Iida excused himself from the common room and made his way to the rooftop. As he reached the door, he took a deep breath, preparing himself for whatever he might find.

Pushing open the door, Iida stepped onto the rooftop and froze in surprise. There, sitting side by side on the edge of the rooftop, were Bakugo and Todoroki. They were gazing up at the night sky, lost in quiet contemplation.

For a moment, Iida hesitated, unsure whether to interrupt their moment of solitude. But then he remembered his mission and cleared his throat to announce his presence.

"Excuse me, Bakugo, Todoroki. Everyone is watching a movie in the common room. They were wondering where you two were."

Bakugo and Todoroki turned to look at him, their expressions serene and content. Bakugo nodded in acknowledgment, while Todoroki offered a small smile.

"We'll be down in a minute," Todoroki replied.

Iida nodded and turned to leave, but before he could take a step, something caught his eye. Bakugo leaned over and pressed a kiss to the top of Todoroki's head, a gesture so tender and unexpected that it took Iida by surprise.

He froze, his eyes widening in shock as he watched the scene unfold before him. But then, before he could process what he had just seen, something even more unexpected happened.

Todoroki turned to Bakugo, his cheeks flushed with color, and without hesitation, he leaned in and pressed his lips against Bakugo's in a soft, sweet kiss.

Iida's breath caught in his throat as he watched the intimate moment between his classmates. It was a scene he never would have imagined, but there was no denying the genuine affection and connection between Bakugo and Todoroki.

As the kiss lingered, Iida discreetly backed away, giving them the privacy they deserved. He knew he had stumbled upon something private and precious, something that he would never forget.

With a quiet smile, Iida closed the door to the rooftop, leaving Bakugo and Todoroki alone under the stars, where their love could blossom in peace. And as he made his way back to the common room, he couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and happiness for his friends, knowing that they had found something truly special in each other.

As Iida made his way back to the common room, his mind was abuzz with the unexpected scene he had witnessed on the rooftop. He couldn't shake the image of Bakugo and Todoroki, sitting together in quiet intimacy under the night sky.

Entering the common room, he found his classmates engrossed in the movie, the laughter and chatter filling the air. Kirishima glanced up as Iida returned, a curious expression on his face.

"Did you find them?" Kirishima asked.

Iida nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Yes, they'll be down shortly. They were enjoying some quiet time together on the rooftop."

Kirishima's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Oh, really? That's cool. I didn't know they were into stargazing."

Iida hesitated for a moment, considering whether to share what he had seen. But ultimately, he decided to keep Bakugo and Todoroki's private moment to himself, respecting their privacy.

"Yeah, it seems like they found a nice spot to relax," Iida replied, trying to sound casual.

As the movie continued, Iida couldn't help but steal glances at Bakugo and Todoroki whenever they entered his field of vision. There was a newfound softness in their interactions, a subtle shift in the way they looked at each other, that hadn't been there before.

When Bakugo and Todoroki finally joined the group, they seemed more at ease, their usual banter tinged with a newfound warmth. It was as if a weight had been lifted, and they could finally be themselves without fear or hesitation.

As the movie drew to a close and the group began to disperse for the night, Iida caught Todoroki's eye and offered him a knowing smile. Todoroki returned the gesture with a nod, a silent acknowledgment of the unspoken bond they now shared.

As Iida retreated to his room for the night, he couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over him. Bakugo and Todoroki's relationship was their own to navigate, but he was grateful to have witnessed the beginning of something beautiful, a love that had bloomed unexpectedly under the stars. And as he drifted off to sleep, he felt a renewed sense of hope for his friends' future, knowing that they had each other to lean on in the days and nights to come.
