As it had been going on for weeks now. Bakugo would head down the main living area around 7 pm when most of the students would already be up in their dorms winding down

When Bakugo would get down to the kitchen Todoroki would already be seated in the kitchen island awaiting for his "Personal" Cook to arrive

At this point it was daily routine that neither of the boys questioned. "Did you get the ingredients for the food?" Bakugo asked putting his apron on while washing his hands 

"I believe I got everything you asked for" Todoroki said putting down a plastic bag onto the kitchen island

"YOU BELIEVE?! I SAID TO GET EVERYTHING" Bakugo huffed with his spoon ready to smack todoroki

"I was joking. They are all in here" Todoroki smiled softly to himself when bakugo wasn't looking. "I looked at the list you sent me like 100 times to make sure I didn't miss anything"

"Yeah you wouldn't dare mess up your own dinner" Bakugo said taking out the ingredients and checking to make sure it was the same brand he liked to use

For a few minutes Bakugo began to get the preparations ready for the cooking before he got annoyed with todoroki doing nothing

"GET YOUR RICH BOY ASS UP AND HELP ME CUT THE ONIONS!" Bakugo barked shoving the bag full of onions towards todoroki

"Aren't you also a rich boy?" Todoroki asked closing his eyes waiting for the wooden spoon to hit his back

"SHUT UP AND START CUTTING" Bakugo barked again hitting Todoroki with the wooden spoon

Todoroki tried making small talk but was instead met with the harsh smacking from Bakugo who warned him to hurry up

"And your parents?" Todoroki asked adding the onions into the pot

"Same as always" Bakugo said handing todoroki an apron. From what todoroki had picked up on bakugo was that bakugo never talked about himself nor his family

"Apparently their clothing company is doing good" Bakugo said stirring the food. Bakugo's parents owned a business that made clothing and had become very popular over the years

Every week or so his parents would send "Allowance" for Bakugo to spend to his liking

"Your parents must really love you to send you money every week" Todoroki said stretching his hands

Bakugo stopped stirring to think for a second. "No they only do it so they feel less guilty" Bakugo said

"What do you mean?" Todoroki asked

"My parents were never home so I was raised by nannies, Whenever they were home my mother would scold me for not acting proper or doing house chores badly while my father stood by and watched as she would beat me for incorrectly sweeping the floors" Bakugo said getting a taste of his food

"It was her idea of tough love and thought it would make me a stronger person while my father said he was too scared to interfere" Bakugo said not looking up to meet Todoroki's gaze. "That's not how you raise a child but they realized that too late"

Todoroki stood still only nodding his head, He understood what Bakugo meant, Todoroki himself knew first hand how it felt to be love starved or having no sort of comfort nor affection from anyone

"in the end of the day I don't hate them, In some ways you can say I've forgiven them but I won't forget so easily" Bakugo said looking up to todoroki who listened intently. "I don't know your situation with your father but forgiving won't be easy unless they prove that they want to be forgiven"

Todoroki felt those words hit close to home. Bakugo had a way with words

Both boys stayed quiet and continued to finish their dinner with no words exchanged between them, It was just peaceful silence 

They ate with few words exchanged. Todoroki finally got to know more of bakugo, Todoroki understood his past and hurt as it related to him as well

"Your right, I'll sit back and see if he'll try to make things right" Todoroki said suddenly as he was washing his plate

Bakugo nodded his head. In a way bakugo was content to know his past situation could help Todoroki a little even if it wasn't much

"I'll head up first" Bakugo said shoving both his hands into his pockets 

"Bakugo..." Todoroki stopped but began again. "Goodnight"

"Goodnight" Bakugo said back then turned back to head to his dorm

Todoroki smiled to himself happily

he was getting somewhere with bakugo....
