She is a He (TODODEKU) PRINCE AU

Chapter 8

Todoroki is busily wiping the blood off his sword from the clash against the Supervillains when he hears another loud angry retort erupt from where Bakugo is sitting( along with his beloved Deku).

Todoroki lets out a growl of frustration.

What was up with the sudden closeness? Todoroki sniffs. It wasn't like he was jealous or anything. He, the Prince of Endeavour wouldn't stoop that low. But, with all the negative talk that Bakugo was sprouting during the journey. Todoroki got the impression that the man had a resentment towards Deku. An undying passion to murder the poor royal.

However, that clearly wasn't the case.

***

Sighing sharply, Todoroki continues to clean his weapon. He is quite aware that he was emitting an ominous aura into the air, which was probably why Iida was hesitating to approach him.

Can't blame him.

But it seems like Ochako has the confidence to do so.

"Hey—"

Todoroki doesn't hesitate to give her the Don't-talk-to-me-because-I-am-pissed-off expression.

Ochako halts. A smirk tugging at her lips. Could he be......?

"Are you at jealous?" Ochako asks slyly.

Todoroki blinks. Ochako invariably seems to hit the right nerve when it comes to these types of situations. Pfff. He wasn't jealous. An emotion like that doesn't exist inside him. Todoroki shakes his head as if the action would reassure him. Nevertheless, the nagging feeling that was burning inside was making him start to doubt that predicament.

He once more sends a glance to the couple who were now bickering not aggressively but more in an enamoured manner. However, the smile on Deku's face was making the feeling inside intensifies.

Well. Shit. It looks like he is a little bit jealous of Bakguo. Wait. Let's correct that word 'little bit'. He is extremely jealous of that bastard.

'You got me", Todoroki mutters in a subdued manner, dropping his head slightly.

Hearing Todoroki's statement, Ochako does a quick victory pose before awkwardly faking a cough. Todoroki raises a brow.

"Well, you don't have to be jealous. The pair hadn't seen each other for quite a long time".

Todoroki nods at the explanation. Understandable. He shouldn't be selfish.

Heaving himself from his position, Todoroki's fingers lightly dust the dirt off his attire before strolling towards the pair, noticing how Deku is quick to notice his approach. Even Bakugo peers his way, face resolutely unimpressed

"What do you want?"

Bakugo greets the other in a hostile manner. His eyes glaring through Todoroki's head. His greeting full of sharpness as always.

Todoroki is tempted to retort back with a snippy response but seeing Deku's warm, gentles crackling with anticipation makes Todoroki's mind go mushy. The temptation soon fades inside.

"I hope you don't mind if I join you two", Todoroki says courteously as his eyes cast a glance at Bakugo who obviously was against his request.

Noticing a small space between the pair, Todoroki successfully manages to wedge himself among them. Bakugo's low growl doesn't go unnoticed but Todoroki happily distracts himself by pretending to admire Deku's eyes.

"So, what were you two talking about?"

"None of your business, you half and half bastard ...", Bakugo snaps indignantly as he shoots up from his position.
