Old Enough

Bakugou POV

What was it about him that drew me? Yeah he was attractive. Ok, he was hot as fuck. But there were people who were hotter. Was it his innate innocence? I had no clue. All I knew was that I couldn't stay away. I made it to my on campus apartment and had an extremely cold shower.

I still couldn't believe I'd kissed him. Not once, but twice. What had I been thinking? He was my student! And nearly a decade younger than me! I ran a hand through my hair with a sigh. I quickly cleaned up and got out, pulling on a pair of low slung sweats. I didn't bother with a shirt, there was no point.

Grabbing my phone, I sent a text.

Me: Come over. I did something dumb.

Kiri: Shit! Which place?

Me: Campus.

Kiri: Be right there.

I grabbed a bottle of Gentleman Jack and sat on my couch with a sigh. I rested my legs on the coffee table and waited for Kiri to arrive. It only took him a few minutes and then he was walking in my front door, kicking off his shoes. I always left the door unlocked. I'd welcome any idiot who tried to break into my home. It would give me a nice way to work off some energy.

Kiri sprawled in the corner of the couch next to me and raised an eyebrow. I took a swig from the bottle and leaned back on the arm of the couch, cradling the bottle in my lap.

"I kissed him."

"Um... who?"

"Todoroki."

"Bro!"

"I know!"

"Shit! Well, it was just once so maybe you can pretend it never happened. The best thing to do now, is to stay away from him. Let him cool off, and then hope he doesn't call for your resignation."

I felt a smile form on my lips and hastily took another swig of the bottle.

"Well actually, I've kissed him twice. And the second time, he asked me too."

"BRO!"

Kiri sat up and smacked me on the arm.

"What were you thinking?! He's your STUDENT! He's a KID!"

"Well, seventeen isn't that young. And he is going to be eighteen next month."

"And him being your student? Do you have an excuse for that?"

I rubbed a hand over my face with a sigh. He was right. Todoroki was my student. But I didn't know how to stay away from him. It didn't matter that he was younger than me. It didn't even matter that he was my student. As long as he wanted me, I'd be there for him. Whatever he needed. I couldn't help myself. There was just something about him that called to me.

"I know you're just looking out for me Kiri. Honestly, I don't know what to do. I tried to stay away from him. I just can't. There's something about him..."

I felt a blush creeping up my cheeks and turned away. Fuck! How embarrassing. I was blushing like I was the damn teenager. Kiri snickered and covered his mouth with his hand, trying to stifle the sound.

"Tch! Whatever!"

I took another swig of the jack. I was starting to feel a little buzzed. Kiri grabbed it out of my hand and placed it on the table.

"That's enough of that bro. Todo must be something special. I've known you for a long time and I've never seen you like this."

I rubbed a hand over the back of my neck and looked away. Just the thought of Todoroki made me smile. I didn't just want to sleep with him. Although, that was definitely something I hoped would happen. I didn't feel the need to rush towards that.

I'd had my fair share of partners, both male and female. But those had all been meaningless. Just an itch I needed scratched. The only person I had ever loved was Kiri, but this felt more intense than that. I honestly, didn't know where this would go. But I knew I had to find out.

I wanted to know everything about him. I wanted to bring him out of his shell. He was so beautiful. I wanted to protect him and shelter him from harm. He'd known pain, and I wanted to erase it. More than anything, I wanted to be his safe haven.

Damn! I sounded like such a fucking sap. He brought out the gentle person I hid inside. I wanted to be his everything. I looked at Kiri, a gentle smile gracing my lips.

"Yeah. He is special. I know he's a little young, but I think we can make it work."

Kiri sighed and hugged me.

"I hope you know what you're doing. I want you to be happy, like I am."

I hugged him back. He only had my best interests at heart. He was just trying to look out for me. Kiri was wonderful friend.

"Thanks Kiri. You're a good friend."

He punched my shoulder lightly, chuckling.

"You know we're best bros for life! He's got you wrapped around his fingers already. Stop being such a sap."

I smacked him in the back of the head lightly.

"Shut up! Go home to that lovely wife of yours. Maybe this weekend, you guys can come over to my house and I'll cook."

He nodded and left after giving me one last hug. Maybe I could invite Todoroki to my house as well. Or would that be moving too fast? No, it was just dinner. It's not like I was asking him to stay the night. Unless he wanted to.

Damnit! No. It was definitely too soon for that. I'd only just given him what I was sure was his first kiss. It didn't mean we couldn't fool around a little though. If he wanted to. Fuck! This was going to be a long week. But it was definitely one I'd enjoy. I went to bed that night with a smile on my face.
