Shoto didn't want to say it but he was sick and tired of everyone asking him to be his date. Not only the girls in the school but the boys too. He didn't have any problems with the genders but the frequent proposals. They were everywhere, people in the hallways would ask him right away as he'd walk to class, giving him flowers during lunch time, cards would randomly pop out of his bag, indicating someone had put them there when he wasn't looking. It was getting too much.
He didn't even consider himself that popular, keeping in mind the male didn't talk to anyone that much so the idea that he was getting asked the most was mind baffling. It got to a point that he almost considered saying yes to a boy whom was one year senior than them while they were going out for lunch because it was unnecessary tension for him. However, it didn't compare to one such proposal which shoto wouldn't forget
Shoto was running late for school and had begged - okay, almost begged - bakugou to iron his shirt while he took a shower. It resulted in both of them being a little late for school and so they were dashing to their first class, however, a certain commotion had stopped everyone in the halls. Bakugou glared and yelled, "OUTTA MY WAY EXTRAS!" As he tried to push everyone aside while pulling shoto with himself. When they reached the centre of the problem, shoto widened his eyes.
A boy who had hazel brown hair was holding up a chart with a collage of shoto's pictures - taken secretly while he was doing stuff. As if that wasn't so bad, he had hired a band to play something romantic while he asked shoto to the dance. Fuck no. Bakugou tensed something was wrong because shoto's fingers curled around his arm while he gaped at the male And his whole crew infront of them. He didn't find this so bad but knowing todoroki has been declining offers the past week, he knew he was fed up by everything. And now, he had to do it infront of the entire school! Who, by the way were staring at shoto to do something.
"I'm sorry-" he tried to say, not even giving the other to say something because honestly, he didn't want to hear it.
He was cut off the senior proposing to him, "no wait! Just hear me out please." He pleaded, making shoto sigh out loud, katsuki was trying really hard not to say anything but the male was making it painful to not say anything. "Now-" hw signalled the band and to shoto's horror, the band started playing one of those toxic sweetheart songs katsuki never listened to. He clicked his tongue, what even was this shit? and looked over at the dual coloured boy to see his reaction.
Shoto's entire body seemed to have been stuck in place, the music was ringing in his ears, he was being pushed by waves of people. He tried to cover his ears in an attempt to make them stop hurting while he chokes out a small, barely audible, '....y-yes..' Because he didn't want to hear anymore. Of course, the others didn't hear it over the loud sound of the music and katsuki whipped his head at shoto the moment he heard him, "are you fucki-" shoto's condition stopped him mid sentence, "icyhot?" The male questioned
"M-make it stop" Shoto choked out feebly. It was a wonder how no one was looking at shoto despite him being the one proposed to. The ash blonde nodded, fucking finally, he was allowed to Do something - get them out of this ridiculous mess. He turned towards the senior and narrowed his gaze, "it's time you end this crap! Get outta our way! We're late for class, asshole!" He yelled, keeping a good grip on shoto's arm.
The brunette stopped the band - much to shoto's pleasure - but didn't move anything, "but he hasn't said anything." Katsuki sneered, "do you think he'll go with someone like you?! Please, your hair's a fucking mess, not to mention! You're damn arrogance. Give him some space goddammit." Katsuki muttered trying to push himself and shoto through the crowd of people but failing bitterly. They just weren't budging. Todoroki thought it might be time to tell his decision.
"Sorry no- im going with bakugou to the dance."
It wasnt just the crowd that gasped, katsuki gasped as well. Turning around to look at shoto, skeptically, the hell was he doing? Was this another one of his sick selfish tricks? Katsuki didn't want any part of them because truth be told, he was scared of how much it'll hurt. The sudden answer seemed to have shocked everyone which made it easier for katsuki to push through the crowd and get them somewhere not crawling with people.
The blonde didn't question any further and it was shoto who spoke first, "sorry, I shoudve asked first." He apologised softly as they were walking to class, "but, since you kissed me without asking, I think we will be even if i take you to the dance?" He question, looking at the blonde from the corner of his eye to see his reaction, "of course it's fine if you want to go with someone else, I was just-" he was stopped mid sentence (which is happening a lot in this story lmao) by katsuki who nodded, "shut up icyhot. Of course I want to go with you. Thanks for asking me at such bad hour because now I'll only be thinking about that during the entire day." He mumbled to which todoroki smiled.
Ijghfhk- im sorry it seems kind of rushed. But, they're going to the dance! Yeeee, will it be a happy ending? Hmm.
