I love you too [BakugouxTodoroki]

~Chapter 6~

Todoroki's POV~

After breakfast, Mina brought me into her dorm to do my hair. Once we entered her dorm, she lead me into the bathroom and sat me onto a stool; in front of the mirror.

She sectioned my hair and grabbed out a small case that held: a few shavers/trimmers, some scissors, combs and some other accessories; such as hair ties and bows.

"So Todoroki, do you like Bakugou?" Mina asked out of no where, while she brushed my hair using a small comb and tying it into a small man bun.
"O-of course I do, I think he's a great friend" I replied trying to ignore the small blush forming on my cheeks.
"No, not like that- I mean do you like him?- as in like,like?" She asked again, phrasing each words carefully so I would understand what she was implying.
"What?! W-why would you think that?!" I stuttered
"Well... I mean you two seem close- like really close... so do you like him?" She said
"I- I don't know. I'm not gay.... well I don't think I am..." I trailed off; suddenly questioning my sexuality.
"Are you sure?" Mina asked as she turned on the trimmer to start the undercut.

"I-I mean I've never liked a girl that way- in fact I've never felt this way about someone.... but around Bakugou it's different, he makes me feel safe and I-I want to be around him 24/7 and be held by him and be close to him..... Mina I think I'm gay..." I mumbled finally answering her question.

I didn't realised I started crying until Mina wrapped her arms around me.
"Hey... it's okay, what's wrong?" She asked soothingly .
"I can't be gay, my f-father h-he would...." I couldn't even finish my sentence, think of how he would react.
"It's all going to be okay Todoroki. I'm here, Bakugou's here and the rest of the Bakusquad are here; you're family to us and we love you regardless of your sexuality." she said softly.

"C-can you keep this a secret?" I asked Mina after finally calming down.
"Yeah of course I can, but remember: we're here for you so don't ever be scared to come out; be who you are". She said with a final hug before letting go to clean up.
I looked in the mirror to see she finished the undercut and even trimmed the hair at the top to make it look more presentable.

"Thanks Mina, I really appreciate it; the hair and the talk" I said with a small smile as I walked out after hearing a soft 'no problem' from Mina.

Bakugou's POV~

After Mina dragged Todoroki to her dorm, I left to my dorm room. As I sat there I grabbed out some lead pencils, and eraser and some charcoal and began drawing. I'm not sure what I was drawing, I was just allowed my hand to move around freely and create an image.

I was listening to music with my head phones as I drew. After a while of just mindlessly drawing I took a look at what I drew. It was an image of the arena a that we had our sport festival in, as I looked a little bit closer I saw that I drew Todoroki when he used both quirks.

Since my music was blasting I didn't realise someone was in my dorm room, until a slightly cool hand placed itself onto my shoulder; causing me to flinch. I turned around and saw Todoroki with a curious look as he examined the drawing. The first thing I noticed other the curious look in his eyes was the haircut Mina had given him; it looked really good.

"N-nice drawing" he said softly.
'Why did he seem nervous? Did Mina say something?' I wondered.
"Nice haircut" I said back.
A small smile took hold of my face as I watched colour take to Todoroki's face, creating a small red line decorating his cheeks.

"I-uh heh.. thanks" he mumbled.
I noticed how awkward- no shy he was all of a sudden but I decided to drop it since he seemed slightly flustered.

A small silence took place as I continued drawing as Todoroki looked over my shoulder to see details being added to the image.
After about half an hour of peaceful silence I notice Todoroki getting tired so I placed my pencil down which earned the attention of the sleepy angel next me. I lifted up Todoroki and carried him to my bed which caused him to become an adorable, giggling mess.

I placed Todoroki under the covers, I then sat on the side of the bed and stroked his hair until his eyes close as he drifted off to sleep.

I went back to add the last few details of the drawing. Since Todoroki was asleep there wasn't much to do since I didn't want him to wake up alone, so I just crawled into bed with him and happily held him close to me.

Todoroki's POV~

"Please! Stop it h-hurts" I cried as another punch was thrown at me. This all happened after my father found out I was gay.
"STOP BEING SO FUCKING WEAK!" My fathers voice boomed as he continued to beat me mercilessly.
"It's not my fault, I CANT CONTROL WHO I LOVE!" I screamed, hoping he might stop; but that didn't happen.

"BULLSHIT! YOUR'E DISGUSTING! NO ONE WILL EVER LOVE YOU"he continued to yell
"Y-you're wrong! BAKUGOU LOVES ME!" I yelled.
"THATS A LIE! YOU'RE JUST A DISGRACE! YOU AREN'T A TODOROKI, YOUR'E A FAILURE" my father screamed as he landed a harsh kick to my stomach.
"F-father please" I begged for mercy, everything was aching and my vision began to go foggy. Was this how I die? Why me? Could Bakugou ever love me?....

"Todoroki! Wake up!" I woke up to the scream of a panicked Bakugou.
"Huh?" I only just realised I've been crying, due to the tears streaming shamelessly down my cheeks. I was about to lie by saying something along the lines of 'I'm fine' but I was embraced by Bakugou with his head in the crook of my neck.

"What happened?" He asked; voice slightly strained.
"N-nothing" I mumbled, trying to avoid telling him about my dream.
"Bullshit." Was all he said.
I just let out a sigh before saying "it was just a nightmare, nothing to worry about" I said quietly
"Then why were you screaming the words 'please', 'I'm begging you' and 'stop, it hurts'?" He said, I could tell he was worried by the way he tightened his hold on me.

"Like I said, just a nightmare. Let's just... go back to bed" I suggested trying to get off this topic
"Very well I won't pressure you into telling me, but please don't hesitate to tell me- when you're ready" he mumbled as he laid us back down; still tangled in each others arms.
"Yeah I won't" I said before allowing sleep to over come me once again.
