Todoroki•

I gaze at myself in the mirror, thinking about about my recent night terror. A memory of my mother pouring the scorching water on my face. It left this ugly scar, symbolizing my internal suffering with my flame quirk. She has been released from the facility she was being held in, and ever since she supported me, and that's the only reason why I use my right side.

I finished brushing my teeth and headed out. To my surprise Bakugo was already in our mini kitchen I installed; he was making waffles. I like to think waffles are pancakes with six packs. I giggled at the thought.

"What are you giggling at icyhot, IS IT BECAUSE I'M WEARING AN APRON? APRONS ARE MANLY TOO! SEE LOOK." Bakugo showed me his cooking apron, it said, bow down to your cook! I stepped closer to Bakugo and did a little bow like when a play is finished and all the actors come out to bow.

"HEY ARE YOU MOCKING MY APRON!?" I sighed, he kind of sucks at socializing, but then again so do I.

"Thank you Bakugo, the murderer chef. I'm excited for the waffles," I say, hoping it would make the situation a bit less intense.

"Fine only because you put murder in my name, I like that." Oou Bakugo told me what he liked.

He served us waffles with mixed berries on the Japanese styled table. "Gomen Bakugo," I smiled.

"Yeah whatever eat up," he muttered back. I started eating, when did I start taking orders from him?

"Mr. Bakugo Murderer?" I began.

"What." I flinched, that kind of hurt inside. Why couldn't he be nice?

"Sorry for last night, I didn't mean to, you know-"

"It's fine Todoroki, I uhh, understand." That's the first time he's said my real name!

"Anyways these waffles are really good, you're the best murderer cook ever." I try to divert the conversation because I would feel awkward talking about my fear of scary movies, it's a rational fear. Right?

"Thanks, my mom said I need to learn to cook because if I don't I'll starve." I made an 'O' with my mouth.

"Well, it's good she cares that much, I never learned. It was just the cooks my dad hired, and your waffles were better than theirs."

"Yeah me and my mom are pretty close, even though we argue 24/7," Bakugo let out a small laugh. I smiled and stood up to collect the dishes and wash them.

"Oi, popsicle, I'll wash them!" Bakugo came after me.

"No it's fine, you made breakfast, it's only fair if I wash the dishes," I argue.

"Well... at least let me help." I sighed, knowing he'll keep pushing.

"Fine you can dry them." I was once again defeated by the explosion boy.

I handed him dishes as he dried them. On the last dish our fingertips touched, we gazed into each other's eyes. Oh hell no, this is not some cliche movie scene. I felt my face start to heat up, I let go of the plate as he grasped it. I looked away and muttered,

"Sorry."

"Hmm what's wrong icyhot, I thought you were emotionless!" Bakugo was teasing me; was this his plan all along? To toy with my emotions?

"I'm just messing with you, let's go with the others," Bakugo suggested.

"Yeah, sure," I said quietly. We walked and took the elevator to the 2nd floor lounge.

"Oh hey guys!" Kaminari waves. I gave a small wave while Bakugo left to insult Kirishima.

"Hey Todoroki!" Kaminari dragged me to a private corner.

"Kamin-"

"You like him don't you?" He giggled.

"I- no I don't. I don't have time for liking anyone, I need to focus on being number one," I said coldly.

"Whatever you say, but I'll give it time." Kaminari winked. We went back to the lounge. The group decided to do a shopping spree at the mall together. We all got ready and headed out. Once we got there we divided ourselves into partners. The easiest way would to be with our dorm-mates.

"Okay everyone meet back here in an hour and thirty minutes! Ribbit," Tsu said. After that many of our classmates ran off to shop.

"Bakugo, where do you want to go first?" I looked up to his eyes hoping he wouldn't get ticked off by a simple question.

"Uhm, it's about to be winter, so we better get warm clothes." Bakugo grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a Hollister.

"And icyhot, are you sick or something; because you keep turning red like all the time." Bakugo scratched his head.

"I'm fine, I just held in a sneeze." Perfect excuse! But seriously, what is wrong with me? Don't tell me i'm actually falling for the murderer chef. I was deep in thought until Bakugo burst out of the changing rooms, wait how did we get here?

"Oi refrigerator, which outfit?" He asked. Did he already try two others? I chuckled to hide the fact I was clueless.

"Get all three of them, they look good." I gave Bakugo a thumbs up.

He muttered something and turned red. He walked to the checkout and bought the three outfits. "Where to next popsicle?" Bakugo said swinging his bag filled with clothes, he reminded me of a little child.

"What about Pacsun, I heard they have good deals," I suggested.

"Hey icyhot?" Bakugo tapped my shoulder. I felt a shiver run down my spine when he touched me and my heart began beating faster.

"Yes, Bakugo?" I replied trying to keep cool.

"While you were distracted I bought you a winter coat, I think you needed one. I picked this one, I thought it would look good on you." Bakugo pulled out a half white-half red winter jacket. It was white on the top and gradients down to red near the bottom of the coat. It matches my hair and it looked nice and comfy.

"T-thank you Bakugo. I don't know how to repay you." I stared at him in awe, so this was his nice side.

"You can start by holding my hand, you almost got lost in the crowd stupid popsicle." He clutches my hand and pulls me towards him.

"Oh. Thanks for saving me." I tried to joke, wow I really am socializing. Look at me being a big boy.

"Yea, and you don't owe me anything, you redecorated our dorm, and installed a kitchen. Your hard work needs to be recognized." Bakugo said.

I could get used to Bakugo being naisu.
