Late Night Texts. || TODOBAKU

23:30, Monday.

Todoroki slipped out onto his balcony,
resting his arms on the railing.
He breathed in the cool night air,
appreciating it's freshness.
His gaze drifted upward,
landing on Bakugou's balcony above him.
He couldn't help but wonder why he had been thinking about Bakugou so much recently.
Even before he had sent him that first text,
he would often find himself stealing glances at him in class or admiring him during training. It wasn't just about his looks; this felt different.
Todoroki had never felt this kind of sensation before.
He brought out his phone and texted Bakugou yet again.

Bakugou? | T

Are you awake? | T

Bakugou must have been asleep.
Or he was just ignoring him.
Why did he even care?
He put his phone away and looked up at the moon.
The celestial sphere was mesmerizing,
he could gaze at it for hours without losing interest.

"I wonder why I feel this way." Todoroki spoke aloud to the moon, knowing that the celestial body couldn't hear him. But it was a moment of isolation and solitude. Perhaps he had no one else to talk to or just craved some companionship. However, he couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to it than mere loneliness. He had friends like Midoriya and Iida, whom he cherished, but he found himself strangely drawn to Bakugou. Todoroki sighed deeply, his thoughts swirling in his head. "I want to be friends with Bakugou," he confessed to the night sky. "But how do I do that? He's always so distant and dismissive." He thought about it a little more. A flicker of hope flickered within Todoroki, fueled by Bakugou's recent character development. Maybe there was a chance, if he worked at it. "He probably would never agree," he murmured to the moon. His voice tinged with resignation.

Suddenly he felt a buzz in his pocket.

B | Hey.

Bakugou? You are awake. | T

B | Yeah, so what? What did you
want earlier.

Ah, well, nothing in particular...
Just wanted to see if you were awake,
I can't sleep. | T

B | Is that how it is? I'm just here for you
for when you can't sleep?

What? No, thats not what I
meant at all, i'm sorry if it came off
that way, Bakugou. | T

B | Relax, I was just messing with you, dumbass.

Bakugou? Messing with me?
Unheard of. | T

B | Yeah well, I can have fun, too.

B | what are you doing awake? You're
always bugging me about how I'm awake
but never tell me the reason you are.

Huh? You want to know? | T

B | "Just curious"

Alright, I get it. | T

Well, there's just been
a lot on my mind lately.
With, you know, Touya
and my dad. | T

B | Oh, that makes sense, I guess.

B | Um, we don't have a lot to do tomorrow.

B | Well today.

What do you mean? | T

B | I JUST MEAN WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TO
DO LATER.

No, I understood what you said,
but you said it in a weird way. | T

B | YOU'RE WEIRD.
