Save me, please. [Todobaku]

Chapter 2

Bakugou sat on the floor in the bathroom stall, tears threatening to fall down his cheeks.

He felt alone.

!SELF HARM AND BLOOD WARNING!

Bakugou's POV:

The bloody razor blade lay in my left hand, blood trailing down from my wrists to the bathroom floor. 'Why do I keep doing this to myself?' I think that for a second, then discarding the thought because I know exactly why I do. Everything I did, bullying Deku in middle school, making fun of him for being quirkless, yelling at my mother so many times, they both never deserved it. They never deserved to hear my cruel words. 'What is wrong with me?'

I grab toilet paper from the dispenser above my head, setting it on my wrists to stop the bleeding. 'Stop the bleeding, clean the wound.' I remind myself.

I stop before reaching for the handle, listening if anyone else is in the bathroom with me. They can't see what a mess I am, I can't risk that. I'd never hear the end of it. After a couple seconds of listening, I unlock the door and peer around before fully leaving the stall. 

'Nobody else is here, good.'

The wounds start to sting as I run them under the cold water, causing me to wince at the sudden pain. But slowly they adjust to the feeling. After finishing up, I head to the roof.

'I don't deserve to eat after the things I've done.'

I flick through the pages of my book not really feeling interested in reading anything at the moment. 'What else can I do?' before I can answer myself, the door to the roof swings open. Revealing a red and white haired boy. Todoroki? Why isn't he in the cafeteria?

"Oh...Bakugou. I was wondering where you were.." His voice trails off as he notices the book I'm reading.
"Hm..? You like that author too?  What a coincidence, I'm a fan of their stories as well." He says while walking over to the spot on the bench beside me, then slowly sitting down beside me to take a peek at the book.

"Oh..Yeah, I guess I kind of like it. Wait- Why were you looking for me?" I question.

"Oh..No reason..I just noticed you weren't in the cafeteria. Aren't you going to eat?" Todoroki asks, a hint of concern in his voice.

"Ugh, of course I ate! I just brought my own food from home!" I bark back at him, I really don't want to talk to anyone right now. Especially lie.

Todoroki stays quiet for a couple of seconds, thinking who knows what.

He then flinched, like he realized something.

"Oh bakugou, there's something I've been meaning to ta-" He gets cut off by the sound of the bell, telling everyone to get back to class.

"Nevermind then..Want to walk to class with me?" Todoroki asks with a small smile on his face. If I'm being honest, he should smile more often, it looks good on him. 'Damnit! Don't be thinking that! No distractions!'

"Whatever, sure." I say while getting up and collecting my things. Todoroki does the same.

"So..Do you know what we're learning this class?" He says while turning his head to me, the light of the sun resting on the right side of his face. All of his features become visible. 'He looks amazing like this.'

I feel my face burn up slightly after that last thought, I need to stop thinking like this!
I feel him nudge my side, stopping me from getting lost in thought. "You ok?"

"I got lost in thought, also I'm not sure. He hasn't told us." I say deciding to soften my expression, what am I even acting mad about now? I'm so exhausted.

Todoroki hums in response and we continue walking to class.

(in class)

Aizawa walks sluggishly into the classroom, carrying his sleeping bag.

"Do whatever you want, I'm taking a nap." He says before stepping into the sleeping bag and zipping it up to fall asleep almost instantly.

'Whatever, I'll just finish the book..' I think before grabbing my bag to take the book out, but before I can I feel a tap on my shoulder.

"Kirishima go awa-" I stop talking as soon as I see it's Todoroki.

"Ugh, what do you want Icyhot?!" I yell, my throat hurting from the yelling I've done these past few days. 

"I was just wondering if I could talk to you? Midoriya is talking to Uraraka..Or 'round face' should I say?" He quips pointing at 'round face' and giggles. 'This guy has the cutest giggle ever.' I shake my head as if trying to shake the thought out of my head. Like that's going to help.

"Sure whatever, I don't mind." I say before grabbing the book out of my bag.

Todoroki is surprisingly easy to talk to, we talked about our favourite fights during the sports festival. I was still a bit annoyed about winning 'unfairly' because he didn't use his left.
We talked the whole class, I didn't even open my book once I was that engrossed in the conversation.
We got a few glances by others after they heard us laughing about Kirishima and Tetsutetsu's fight. I can't get enough of his laugh.

'He doesn't care, he's only speaking to you because he's bored.' My stomach churned at that thought at the back of my mind.

I cover my mouth with my hand as I quickly jump up from my chair. I barely get out a "I'm going to the bathroom!" because I'm racing to the bathroom, feeling lightheaded as I feel the sickness rising from my stomach to my throat.

I throw up in the sink, coughing continuously. Todoroki stands watching me at the door of the restroom. Having no words to say.
