My Pet (TodoBaku)

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 5

I apologize for the long break from this book. I have had little time to write. Thank you for your patience.

Todoroki sat on the bed with Bakugou nestled in his lap, the young werewolf's small tongue gently licking the blood from Todoroki's hand. The room was quiet, save for the soft sounds of Bakugou's efforts. Todoroki's expression was calm, his gaze tender as he watched the boy. The fever was slowly subsiding, and Bakugou seemed more at ease.

Suddenly, the door burst open, and a young vampire with fluffy green hair rushed into the room. "Lord Todoroki!" the vampire servant exclaimed, his eyes wide with concern.

Todoroki looked up, his calm demeanor unshaken. Bakugou, however, startled by the sudden intrusion, let out a frightened whimper and quickly hid behind Todoroki, his small body trembling. Todoroki's protective instincts flared, and he gently placed a reassuring hand on Bakugou's head.

"Midoriya," Todoroki acknowledged the servant, his tone steady. "What is it?"

Midoriya's eyes were fixated on the bite mark on Todoroki's hand. "Your hand, Lord Todoroki," he said urgently. "You need to drink the young werewolf's blood to prevent the infection from spreading. It's the only way to ensure your safety."

Bakugou's eyes widened in fear, and he backed away from Todoroki, his ears flat against his head. Todoroki immediately noticed the boy's reaction and turned a stern gaze towards Midoriya.

"I will not harm Bakugou," Todoroki stated firmly. "There is no need for such drastic measures.""But, my lord," Midoriya protested, moving around the bed towards Bakugou. "It's only a matter of time before the bite causes serious harm. Please, you must—"

Bakugou jumped back, his eyes filled with terror. Todoroki stood up, positioning himself between Bakugou and Midoriya. "That's enough," Todoroki said sharply. "I will not drink Bakugou's blood."

Midoriya's expression shifted from concern to desperation. "Lord Todoroki, please understand. The bite is dangerous. You could become gravely ill."

Todoroki's eyes narrowed, his tone cold and authoritative. "I am of royal blood, Midoriya. I will not die so easily. Now, leave us."

Midoriya looked stricken, but he quickly composed himself. "Forgive me, Lord Todoroki," he murmured, bowing his head. "I did not mean to upset you."

Todoroki grabbed Midoriya by the arm and escorted him out of the room, his grip firm but not harsh. As they stepped into the hallway, Todoroki turned to face his servant. "Midoriya, I understand your concern, but you must trust my judgment. Bakugou is under my protection, and I will not allow any harm to come to him."

Midoriya nodded, his expression remorseful. "I'm sorry, my lord. I only wanted to ensure your safety."

Todoroki sighed, his anger subsiding. "I know. But remember, Bakugou is scared and vulnerable right now. We must be gentle with him."

"Yes, my lord," Midoriya replied, bowing again. "I apologize for causing any distress."

With a final nod, Todoroki returned to the room, closing the door behind him. Bakugou was huddled in a corner, his eyes wide with fear. Todoroki approached slowly, kneeling down to the boy's level.

"It's alright, Bakugou," Todoroki said softly, extending a hand. "Midoriya meant no harm. He was just worried about me."

Bakugou hesitated, then slowly reached out, his small hand grasping Todoroki's. "You're not going to... to drink my blood?"

Todoroki shook his head, his gaze gentle. "No, Bakugou. I promised I wouldn't harm you, and I intend to keep that promise."

Bakugou's eyes softened, and he moved closer to Todoroki, allowing the vampire to scoop him up into his arms. Todoroki held the boy close, his heart swelling with a protective warmth.

"You're safe with me," Todoroki whispered, his voice a soothing balm to Bakugou's frayed nerves. "I won't let anything happen to you."

And as Bakugou nestled against Todoroki, his fear slowly melting away.
