Deserve Her Part 3 (Bakugou Katsuki & Todoroki Shouto)

Bakugou Katsuki x Reader x Todoroki Shouto

Requested by: Anon

Request: "This might be weird to ask, but can you please continue 'Deserve Her' on the night where S/O, Bakugo and Todoroki were supposed to be going out, both of them jealous and overly protective until S/O FINALLY asks them what was wrong and a lil' bit of fluff? I'm sorry if this would bother you, but I just kind of wanted to see what happened after. Thanks for reading, though :)"

The day had gone off in a way you had not expected. While you had assumed it would be a fun afternoon with your boyfriend and childhood friend... it was clear from the very start that things were going in the opposite direction you wanted them to go in.

Bakugou seemed to be set on keeping you as close to him as possible, making for some uncomfortable moments where you tried to walk and he'd shove you next to him. His eyes never falling on you but rather Todoroki who was looking back at him with a mild annoyance of his own.

And Todoroki was no better. Throughout the entire afternoon, he had been making off-handed remarks toward Bakugou. From the location of the seats in the theater to the restaurant, he picked for lunch. He was acting like a passive aggressive person, which was a part of his personality you had only really seem brought out by his father.

And so, as you three were making your way home along the street, cars passing by and lighting up the angered faces of the two males you couldn't help but stop in your tracks. The feeling in your gut and chest had grown more intense as the night came to be. And with a small shake, you knew it would not be long until the emotions inside of you were released. Your willpower would be destroyed at the next inconvenience and you could only hope that it could wait until you were back in your dorm room and away from everyone.

Unlucky for you, seeing as you had started to lag behind and stop moving, eyes staring directly down at your feet... the males in questions who had been on everything expect their best behavior, noticed quickly.

Your form shook and you seemed lost in deep thought. Immediately, both came to the same conclusion and marched towards you, moving to shive their jackets off and offer the article of clothing to you before the other could.

"Are you cold? Take my jacket."

"Here. You look cold. So take it already."

You blinked looking up at the two outstretched jackets: one black and one navy blue. One smelling like caramel and the other like peppermint. Your eyes widening and glistening with surprise, but slowly the hope that had emerged started to fade as the arguing picked up again.

The pair had been doing so all night, thinking they were being sneaky and only doing so when either you were out of earshot or covering it something else. But while you were not in the hero course like the boys... you were still just as smart. The general studies course having just as strong of an academic regiment as the hero course. And you were at the top of your class... so understanding what was happening had become much more clear as the night went on.

"Hands off, half-and-half." Bakugou bumped into Todoroki. "She's my girlfriend, so she's taking my jacket!"

"Yours looks to be a bit old. I'm sure (Name) would much prefer a newer one, like mine." Todoroki rebuttalled, holding firm.

The argument continued from there, neither male seeming to care at this point in the day that you were in front of them. They had been bickering with each other over love and feelings for you for a week... and thus it appeared to be the breaking point for everyone now.

But unbeknownst to either boy... you had hit that wall much quicker and sooner than either one of them had. And with another shake and then another... the strong front you had been trying to hold up for so long had finally come undone.

"Huh?" Both males spoke as the sounds of sniffling pulled them out of their competitive minds.

Your form was much different now, as large droplets of water came down your face and one of your hands pressed against your mouth in a poor attempt to hide away the cries that were trying to escape thanks to the pain in your heart.

The males froze, not knowing what had happened or what caused you to cry. But as the slow realization finally hit, it was obvious that it had to be them. Not one or the other... but them both. The idea coming when you shoved both of their jackets aside and marched forward, walking off without them.

"Shit..." Bakugou cursed, marching after you, trying to remain calm.

"(Name)." Todoroki followed as well, his heart dropping into his stomach.

You were walking fast, but your stride was much shorter than the boys, and within a few seconds they both had caught up to you. They remained behind you and refrained from touching you. Their fears of making this worse starting to take over how they reacted.

You stopped abruptly, knowing that one would speak up eventually and try to pain this entire thing over. But you were at the end of your rope. You had to stay something... your ideas of this clear after tonight. Your mind knowing that while you had tried to convince yourself of all sorts of lies, the truth would eventually come back with a revenge and it had.

"It's not fair..." You spoke, both males hovering close but neither speaking. It was something about your tone... something about it telling them to not say a word.

"It's just not fair..." You repeated, trembling lightly, unaware of two hands that were hovering over your shoulders and unsure if they should connect with it. "I tried to move on... I tried to not let your behavior bother me. I knew both of you needed time to process and figure things out... but... I didn't-"

You finally turned to them, eyes puffy and red and more tears spilled out. "I didn't ask for two people to fall in love with me... and I didn't ask to be in love with two people."

Bakugou and Todoroki were taken aback. So that was why... that was why you had always been so open to having both of them around. You liked them both... but it had been Bakugou to ask you out first, and that was where this entire mess started.

"You made it clear in middle school that you were not interested, Shouto." You continued on. "And so I tried to move on... and I thought I had when I met Katsuki. But you and he were always on my mind... and you both still are."

"(N-Name)-" Todoroki spoke, knowing full well he wasn't exactly himself until the recent months thanks to his past relations and demons... but you were not having it.

"And Katsuki's gotten so much more caring this year... and so when he asked me out it was really wonderful. But I could tell you didn't like it, and like a fool, I told myself you could move on as I had!

But I haven't! Instead... I ended up getting feelings for you both. But tonight finally made it clear to me... that none of us can be together. You guys are butting heads at every little thing and I can't keep doing this to myself. Maybe... maybe we were all bad for each other from the start..."

Your hand rose to your lips again, silently the cry of pain that came from your mouth. It was short-lived, as suddenly you felt yourself getting wrapped up by two pairs of strong and protective arms.

"Calm down, moron." Bakugou told you. "You said how your feeling... so let's work through this."

"I'm sorry for my behavior..." Todoroki apologized. "But Bakugou is right... let's work this out. I'm sure we can sort it out altogether."

You nodded slowly, and for the first time all day... you felt like things actually would work out positively in the end.
