A collapsing star

Chapter 19

Todoroki POV

"Fucking- the 'y'-" He says as he closes his eyes for a brief moment.

'Please, don't say Yaomomo, don't say Yaomomo'

After an entirety of him just being silent and me being nervous he finally opens his eyes. His expression is blank, but his hands are slightly shaking. He opens is mouth, and my jaw almost drop at his words: "It's you, dumbass."

My mind is completely filled with random things right now. Like how am I going to respond, should I tell him I like him back and that he's been my crush for ages?! Or should I play it cool?!

'I can't get any words out of my mouth!'

Since I'm still standing in silence, I sense him being slightly uncomfortable. He looks down and starts to nervously fondle with his shirt.

'Damnit, Shoto! You're ruining your only chance!'

"Fuck, you're probably grossed out now, sorry." He says, voice cracking slightly at the end of the sentence.

'No, I'm not...'

"I'm going home now, and I understand if you don't want to be friends anymore-."

"You're right." I cut him off. "I don't want to be friends anymore," even though he's looking at the floor with hair covering parts of his face, I can still see his eyes looking glossy and red. He bites his trembling lip. Hands handing limp on either side of his body. I take his hand and squeeze it. "because I want us to be more than just friends."

He looks at me with confused eyes while mine is directed towards his hand. I gently rub it with my thumb, before taking my other hand up to his rose red cheek. "By the way, I'm really relived you didn't say Yaomomo." I say chuckling. I'm honestly super happy.

He chuckles in response, and tiny smile comes in sight. I swear to God, my heart must've exploded or something, because right now I'm dying because of all this cuteness. I feel my own cheeks flush with warmth and my body feels unusually light.

"Bakugo."

"What."

"You should smile more often, it's suits you."

"Wha- don't say stupid shit like that, baka!" He yells, shutting his eyes in embarrassment.

He grabs my wrist trying to push it away form his cheek, but I decide to act a little out of my usual. "Let go, stupid IcyHot. Wha-! H-hey!" I push his back against the wall behind him, I bend my head down slightly, before smashing my lips onto his extremely soft ones. He's obviously taken aback by my actions, so he squeeze my shirt with his hands and tightly shuts his eyes puffing up his cheeks. I put one of my hands on his slim waist, while the other goes behind him to hold his curved back.

I rub his back, feeling him flinch. 'Did I find a weak spot?' I touch the same spot, and I receive the same cute reaction from the blonde blushing mess. I deepen the kiss by slipping my tongue into his mouth, and I just can't get enough of him. We fight for dominance as our tongues dance around exploring each others mouths. I knew I'd end up winning the little fight, but it was fun watching him struggle.

I grin, amused I got the feisty explosive boy to submit this easily. He puts his hands on my chest trying to push me away signaling he needs air. I pull away, both of us blushing and panting with a string of salvia still connecting us. I put my hands on the wall behind him, leaving little space for him to move. He rests his forehead on my chest.
