We keep walking for about five minutes before I hear Bakugo start to softly snore.

He will be the end of me. He sounds so cute! Being able to go from angry to scared to cute that fast should be illegal.

His grip tightens and he starts to quietly whimper. I really wish I could help him.

"Hey, Bakugo's asleep." I think it's a good idea to let Midoriya know.

He just hums and starts staring off into space again. I think he's done talking when he says "I'm surprised he trusts you that much already. He really does have a hard time, you know? I'm not gonna tell you everything, especially when he's not awake to know....but he has night terrors. If he's gonna stay with you for a while, you've got to at least know that for right now. I plan on staying the night with you two tonight just in case I find out I can't trust you. It's actually really weird for him to agree to stay with you when you don't know anything about him..."

He has night terrors? I really don't know anything about him...hopefully, he trusts me enough to tell me.

We get to my house a few minutes later and I can still hear Bakugo whimpering. I'm just about to unlock the door when he starts screaming and wakes right up. He tries to gently push himself out of my grip and I let him go. He immediately lands on his feet and starts crying, covering his face.

I want to comfort him but I don't know if I should, so I just stand there while Midoriya runs over and hugs him. "Todoroki, open the door."

I listen to Midoriya and grab Bakugo's suitcase, following them into the house. I drop the suitcase right by the door and close it. I don't live in the best neighborhood so I lock it too.

I kick off my shoes and walk into the living room to see Midoriya sitting on the couch next to Bakugo. He's still crying and I don't want to intrude so I grab Bakugo's suitcase and put it in the spare bedroom.

My house isn't that big, just two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room. It's not much but it's all I could afford when my dad kicked me out. I managed to almost drain my account before he could cancel my card.

I put all of Bakugo's stuff on the bed and go back into the living room, seeing he's done crying. He just looks scared now and I hope it's not my fault. Did I scare him? Is he having second thoughts about staying here?

"I put all your stuff in the spare room. I'm sorry I don't have another bed for you Midoriya." I don't let any of my worries show on my face or in my voice.

"That's fine, I'll just sleep on the floor in his room." It sounds like they do that all the time from the way he talks. At least they aren't gonna share a bed, my jealousy would never be able to take that.

I sit down on the couch next to Bakugo and he just looks down at the floor.

We sit in awkward silence for a while, I try and think of something to say while they both space out. Bakugo stares at the floor and Midoriya smiles off into the distance. Why's he smiling? What?

"Do you two want something to eat?" I try to break the silence and get that creepy smile off his face.

Midoriya jumps up off the couch and yells "I'll cook!"

Bakugo laughs at him and I swear that's the most amazing laugh I've ever heard... "He loves cooking, I still can't figure out why."

Midoriya practically jumps the whole way to the kitchen and seconds later I hear what must be every cabinet in there opening.

"Want to watch him, it's pretty funny? He cooks like a fucking circus freak, it's always a show." So Midoriya must cook a lot, I wonder if Bakugo ever does?

"Sure." Bakugo gets up and grabs my hand, pulling me along into the kitchen.

When we walk in, Midoriya's throwing an egg into the air and catching it while he looks in the fridge. "I can make Katsudon. Can I? Yeah, I totally can."

Bakugo leans towards me and whispers "he always talks to himself like that."

I watch as Bakugo walks over to the island and sits down on a stool facing Midoriya. I decide to sit down next to him.

I can barely hear Midoriya talking to himself and making sound effects while he cooks, I'm too busy watching Bakugo and listening to him laugh.

I prop my head up on the counter with my arm and keep staring at him, giving up on trying not to make it obvious.

He notices after a while and looks at me, he starts to blush a little and I feel my face heat up too.

He's so cute.

"Why're you staring at me?" He sounds so shy, it's adorable.

"Cause you're cute." He blushes even more and I'm grateful I failed to filter myself.

I reach my other hand out to his and lace our fingers together. I feel really relieved and happy when he squeezes my hand instead of pulling away. That means he's not scared of me, right?

I really hope it does.

"You two just gonna stare at each other all day, or are you gonna eat." Again?! Why must he ruin everything?

I groan and hit my head on the counter. Bakugo laughs and Midoriya says "wow, the robot does have emotions."

I just pull my head up and glare at him. They both laugh at me this time and Midoriya puts plates in front of both of us.

He looks at me and then at Bakugo, "we're talking after dinner."

That kills the fun atmosphere, way to go Mido!

We all eat in silence, Bakugo and Midoriya both stare off into space and I try to think of any way to ask all the questions I have without sounding too rude or intrusive.
