Cold Without You

Feelings?

Shoto POV:

I can't help but find myself staring at my explosive blond classmate. The way his face twists, the way he talks, the way he moves. Everything about him just sets my heart racing. Am I sick? I walk over to Momo during lunch one day to ask her.

"Sick? No, I don't think so. Why would you think that?"

I looked down as my face flushed. I explained how I've been feeling towards Bakugou, and she squealed.

"Shoto!!! You're in love!!!!"

I blinked at her as I realized what she said was true.

"Hold up!!! I've got to get Kiri and Denki!"

She raced off and soon dragged the two back with her.

"Dude! You like Bakubro?! That's awesome!"

Kirishima patted me on the back, and Denki nodded. They gave me his number and said their lips were sealed. I didn't have time to process it before Momo asked me something.

"What?"

"I asked, what are you going to message him?"

"I-I'm not sure... I'll have to think about it."

"Well, don't take too long, I'm rooting for you!"

And that's how I ended up texting Bakugou. I decided not to tell him who I was, as to avoid a blast to the face. He looked around the class, and I pretended to write notes as I typed.

Unknown: You won't find me that way~

My heart pounded as I waited for his reply. I honestly thought he would have blocked me by now. He shot angry glances around the room, and I could tell he was blushing. That made me so happy I almost lost my composure and gave myself away. I never thought I would fall in love with someone. Much less that, that someone would be Bakugou. 

I tried my best to not message him until I had dropped off my package with the hint in it. As he texted me, all I could think of was how I hoped he liked them.

Explodo: They're sweet.

I chuckled as I could imagine him begrudgingly eating them.

"You're in a good mood Todoroki-Kun."

I jumped as I looked back to see Midoriya.

"Oh, yes. Hello, Midoriya."

I slipped my phone into my pocket. He smiled sweetly at me, and I gave a small smile back. Midoriya was one of my dearest friends, and I owe my recovery mostly to him. 

"Do you have any plans today, Todoroki-Kun?"

"No."

"Great!" He smiled brightly. "I was wondering if you would help me with the rest of my homework?"

"Of course, Midoriya."

We headed up to his room, and we did our homework together. Even though I appeared present, my mind kept drifting back to Bakugou.

Katsuki POV:

I woke up the next morning and got ready for my morning jog. All I could think about was the Candy Canes. They were a hint? A hint of what? Did the person have a sweet tooth or some shit? I grumbled under my breath until I saw another guy running as well. 

"Hey, Icyhot!" 

He jumped, a bit startled, which caused him to trip. I reached out and steadied him. He looked up at me, his cheeks dusted pink.

"Be more aware of your surroundings, idiot!"

He just nodded and stood up.

"Thank you, Bakugou."

"Tch. Whatever. Why are you out here anyway, Half-N-Half?"

"Just on a morning run. Would you like to join me?"

"Whatever. Just be glad I'm doing the same already."

We jogged side by side, and I snuck a glance at his profile. He was hot. Wait, Icyhot, hot? No, no, no, no, no. I must still be half asleep. I kept my normal scowl on my face and noticed him staring at me.

"What?!"

I snapped at him.

"Nothing, you're just very good looking."

I felt the blush rise to my cheeks and quickly looked away.

"Y-Yeah, whatever Halfy."

I felt like there was something I was forgetting, and it was bugging me. We finished the run, and I stomped up to my room and took a quick shower. When I got out, my phone buzzed.

Candy Cane: I enjoyed watching you run. You looked so marvelous.

Explodo: Stalker! What the fuck, Candy Cane!

Candy Cane: Say what you will.

Explodo: Hah?!?!

Candy Cane: I'll Message you later, I have plans with a friend.

Explodo: Whatever.

I dropped my phone and got dressed.
