I'll Make It Up To You | Depressed Todoroki x Bakugo

Chapter Eight

Todoroki's POV

Todoroki went through the school day praying it would end faster. He, like most people, didn't like school, but his reasons were different than others.

If his class became too loud, he would often have anxiety attacks while sitting alone in the background. His anxiety was easily triggered by large crowds and loud people or noises. It was a huge setback for someone who wanted to become a hero. He would have to deal with crowds are loud reporters daily, so why the hell did he have to have something like that trigger him to have issues?

For the most part, class went by without any anxiety attacks, that was until, the last class. During the last ten minutes of class, Aizawa decided he was too tired to teach the class, therefore he everyone free time.

If the class was being loud a safe distance from him, things would've been fine, but Mina had decided that she wanted to talk to Momo, who was sitting right next to him. To Todoroki's dismay, Mina was an extremely loud person.

It wasn't as if Todoroki disliked Mina, he just wished she wasn't so loud. He could barely understand what she was talking about. The only thing his brain could properly get across is that she was raising her voice.

Is she angry?

No, she's always this loud. Nothing's wrong.

But she went straight to Momo, as if she had something important to say to her.

She probably just wanted to talk to her friend. It's not a big deal, so stop looking into it, you idiot!

Todoroki continued to argue with himself as his anxiety got worse and worse. He was freaking out at that point. His heart wouldn't slow down.

After what felt like forever, the bell ring. Todoroki packed up his things, but didn't leave the classroom. He made his way towards Bakugo.

"I'll be in my room, Katsuki." He said, then left without waiting for an answer.

He arrived at his room and sat on his bed. He tried forcing his breathing to slow down, but it didn't work.

There was a knock on the door. Todoroki scrambled to get it open, knowing who it was going to be.

Bakugo entered Todoroki's room as if it were his own the second the door opened. He sat on the bed, Todoroki closing his door and sitting next to him a moment afterwards.

"What's wrong?" Bakugo asked, surprisingly calm.

"I just had an anxiety attack. Mina was being loud and it started messing with me." Todoroki answered.

"Are you still having an anxiety attack?"

Todoroki was going to say yes, but the more ge thought about it, the more he didn't know. He didn't feel like he was in distress now that he and Bakugo were alone, but his heart was still beating fast.

"I.... don't know." Todoroki said.

"Well, that's not very helpful. Do you feel better, at least?"

"Yes, I feel better now that you're here." Todoroki wanted to smack himself as soon as those words left his mouth. Luckily, Bakugo chose to pretend he hadn't heard him.

"Alright. I guess I'll be leaving, then." Bakugo said, then did just that.

Todoroki felt sad that the blonde had left. He told himself that he needed to stop being so needy, but he couldn't help it. He didn't understand why he felt the way, so he had no idea how to stop it.

Time skip till the next day

Luckily, school was uneventful that day. Just as Todoroki was beginning to think the day would go by nicely, Mineta asked to speak with him outside.

Todoroki felt nervous for some reason. His instincts told him to go straight to his room, but he didn't want to be rude.

Outside, Todoroki spotted Mineta sitting on a bench. He sat next to the perverted grape, hoping to get this over with.

"I noticed you've been spending a lot of time with Bakugo lately. At first, I thought nothing of it, but then you seemed so excited to walk with him.that one day, and you called him by his first name." Mineta said.

Shit, Todoroki thought, he's going to get the wrong idea, like the woman with three kids.

"Your point?" Todoroki asked, hoping this conversation wasn't going in the direction he thought it was.

"Are you a faggot?" Mineta said with a harsh tone.

Todoroki was shocked at how rudely Mineta asked the question. Even if he was homophobic, Mineta didn't know if he was gay. There was no need to act that way.

The question also forced Todoroki to realize the truth about how he felt towards Bakugo. He liked him. He really, really, liked him.

"Your expression says everything. You really are a faggot" Mineta spit out.

Todoroki ran back to his dorm. His legs moved on their own. He needed his blade. He needed to cut.

The minute he got to his dorm, he did just that. He drowned in his tears as he cut.

Oh God, what would Bakugo think of him?
