Peppermint And Vanilla ( TodoBaku / BakuTodo ) 𝕓𝕟𝕙𝕒

3. You're Invited!

Todoroki's P.O.V.-

It was Saturday night, usually on Saturdays Katsuki and I get together and have a couple of drinks and talk about anything and everything going on.

We have a great dynamic with constant banter, we were like lancers to one another, he helps keep me from getting a big head, and to him well I- I'm definitely there, I try and help humble him a little but it's Bakugo we're talking about, the guy was practically born with an ego the size of Mt. Lady.

Speaking of Mr. Explosion Murder, I hadn't really seen much of him at work yesterday or today, we were both patrolling completely different sides of the city so there was really no overlapping time for us to speak, which was super common in our line of work but for some reason I missed him?

God, I'm going insane if I actually miss Bakugo of all people.

But I knew why I missed him. I finally had the guts to admit it to myself after so long. I had somehow managed to fall for him. And oh boy had I completely fallen for him. It's not like I set out to fall for the biggest asshole I knew either, it kind of just happened.

To be fair me falling for Bakugo wasn't really a surprise, it was only a matter of time really before all my unrequited UA feelings for him culminated into something bigger that I couldn't control.

Obviously being so close to him all the time wasn't really helping my case, but I just can't seem to stay away from him. And if he wanted to hang out with me too then there was really no harm right? Right?

He spent so long hating me back in our school days that it'd be delusional to think he'd start liking me now out of no where.

It's just a harmless crush, it'll disappear as quickly as it appeared.

"It's just a crush." I whisper to myself as I grabbed a few envelopes from my mailbox.

Just a crush you broke off your engagement to Momo over.

Ugh! Right....

I found myself trying to reassure my mind, and my heart, that this stuff I felt for Bakugo would pass quite a lot. But it slowly seemed like the more and more I told myself it was just a crush the less and less I believed my own lie.

I just couldn't seem to get the walking fire cracker out of my head. It's like he'd taken up a permanent residence in my mind .

He's already invaded my heart, what else does he want?

I pondered on my feelings for the fiery boy as I opened the door to my place. It was already super late so I rushed to the bathroom to take a shower so I could be at my best for when Bakugo and I hung out.

I kept going over it all in my mind as the warm water hit my body. How the hell did my feelings get to this point?

And god do I wish I had never asked my self that question, but my mind... it went with it and ran.

The first thing I ever noticed about him were his eyes, those scarlet jewels and how they seemed to speak volumes even when the blonde boy was quite, which was rarely.

Then I saw his drive, it amazed me, it called to me. I'd never seen anyone in my life so hard headed and determined to reach their goals.

The first school year we spent together he reminded me a lot of my father, which immediately turned me off, but the more the years went on the more I realized how far from the truth my initial assessment of him actually was.

Katsuki Bakugo was a real hero, yeah he had some rough edges but all in all he meant well.

These last three years working on missions with him helped me realize how much I wanted someone fiery like him, someone who would challenge me. Someone with personality for days, someone who's aura called to me the way his did.
