Glass || Bakugo x OC

Need to Talk

He felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. 'Rei....likes Bakugou?' He felt his eyes water and for the first time in a long time, he wanted to cry. He quickly turned around and excused himself to go to the bathroom. He slammed his fists down on the bathroom sink. Thank God there wasn't anyone else in there. Running his hands frustratedly through his red and white hair he thought, 'Dammit. Dammit, dammit, dammit! I can never have anything, can I? I can't have a normal life, a simple quirk, a functioning family! Now I can't even have the girl I like! The first person I opened up to, is more interested in somebody else!' He stares down his reflection in the mirror, glaring into his own heterochromic eyes. 'Fuck this! Fuck everything!'

Suddenly, the water sprinkler goes off. Todoroki hadn't noticed his left side was flaming and the water sprinkler had detected the smoke. This only pissed him off more. 'I can't even get angry properly!' He sinks to his knees with an overwhelming urge to cry. The ache in his chest only worsens as water runs down his face, either from the sprinklers or they were his tears. 'Why is this so difficult?' The sprinklers turn off automatically, since it didn't detect any more signs of a fire. Todoroki stands up and wipes his face with the back of his sleeve. 'Stop being so emotional.' He scolds himself. 'I'm better than this...' He takes deep breaths to calm himself down. 'But clearly Bakugou is better than me.' He shakes his head. 'Stop comparing. I'm not like the others for a reason.' Well, several reasons.

Suddenly, a knock on the door snaps him out of his thoughts. "Shoto? Are you in there?" He stays quiet, not wanting to speak to her right now.

*Rei's POV*

My brows furrow when I realize Todoroki isn't here anymore. "Did you see Shoto?" I ask Ochako.

"I think I saw him leave a few minutes ago- actually, it's been a while since he left." She replies. "I wonder where he went."

"I'm going to ask." I state. I feel this weird feeling in my stomach that something isn't right. I stand up and walk over to Aizawa. "Do you know where Todoroki went?" I ask.

"He probably went to the bathroom or something." Aizawa responds. "How about you go look for him?"

I nod my head and leave the gym. "Shoto?" I call around outside, but he isn't there. I decide to check the bathrooms and make my way back to the main school building. I make my way towards the bathrooms when I spot water seeping out from underneath the door to the boy's bathroom. I knock on the door, avoiding stepping in the large puddle of water. "Shoto? Are you in there?"

I don't hear a response. 'Where on Earth did he go?' I start to get worried. 'Maybe it's nothing. Maybe he went to get water from the fountain?' I think as I make my way towards the water fountains. 'He isn't here either....' I think. 'Maybe he'll come back on his own.' I ignore the worried feeling and head back to Gym Gamma.

As I'm about to open the door to the gym, I'm pulled aside. I reflexively grab their wrist and twist it.

"OW!" Katsuki yelps.

"S-Sorry! It's a reflex!" My face heats up when I remember my conversation with Ochako. "Anyways, what's u-up?"

"Did you just stutter?" He smirks.

"No, you stuttered." I reply sa I lena against the wall.

"What?" He looks at me with confusion.

"What?" I shoot back. 'What the heck am I doing?! Just speka to him like a normal person with normal social skills!'

"Okay...? Well, I was just looking for you." He shrugs.

I blush. "Aww, you were?" I tease.

"Not like that, dumbass!" He angrily snaps. "Where were you anyways?"
