Todoroki slowly pushed Bakugo away for a second to look at him and see if he was serious. Bakugo looked at him and felt his cheeks go red. He didn't know what would happen, nor did he know if his heart was about to be crushed. This was the first time he's finally opened up to someone and been vulnerable with them in eight years.

Todoroki being the oblivious fuck he is, asked a question that Katsuki had no patience for. "What do you mean?" he asked, his face holding a sort of confused look but also assuming that he knows what he means. "Oh my god, you really are that oblivious," Bakugo whispered underneath his breath. "I mean...that you are my...person that makes me forget time and makes me feel..." he sighed deeply. "...all happy and weird and shit." he finished.

Shoto didn't say anything for a second, and that made Katsuki even more nervous. "This is the time where you say something, dipshit!" he yelled, swatting his arm. "Sorry. So you're saying that I make you feel...these emotions I talked about earlier...?" he questioned. Katsuki deadpanned and responded with "No spicy curry does yes dummy! You make me feel all these weird-ass emotions that make me wanna barf but smile all at the same time!" he yelled, standing up he faces Todoroki.

"Okay, maybe not barf, but that's close enough to what I feel at the moment." Katsuki corrected himself. Shoto stuffing down a smile stands up, walks to the middle of the room where Katsuki is, and bends down to hug him. His arms wrapping around Katsuki's torso and vice versa. "So, in other words, you like me," Shoto stated, his voice muffled by Katsuki's neck. "Yes, I like you." Katsuki mumbled. His words were muffled by Shoto's chest as his head was stuffed into Shoto's chest so that Todoroki couldn't see the utter and total mess Katsuki is.

"Good cause I like you too," Shoto told the male. That made Katsuki smile. He felt his cheeks flush even more when Shoto pulled back and brushed some hair behind his ear and then cupped his cheeks. "S-Stop, you can't just do things like that!" he whined, swatting Shoto's hand away. Resulting in Shoto slightly chuckling and taking Katsuki's hand to hold in his. "You're adorable. I hope you know that." Todoroki mumbled.

"What'd you say, you buff icicle?" Katsuki asked. The laugh that came out of Shoto's mouth was one that Katsuki marveled at. Despite the hurt that he's going through, still, he finally has someone he can go through it with. Someone he can lean onto when he needs that comfort. Katsuki opened his door and dragged Shoto along with him.

The dual haired male let a smile form on his face as he felt the tug on his hand each time he slowed down. Once the two came down, most of the class looked to see who it was and saw the two holding hands. "FUCK YEAH! KAMINARI, YOU OWE ME!" Mina yelled out, running over to where Kaminari was. He was Shinso's arms in the kitchen. "What the fuck did we just walk into?" Katsuki asked.

"Oh! Hey Kacchan! Todoroki-kun!" Deku greeted. Kirishima greeted his best bro and saw the absolute terror on Denki's face when Mina charged for him. At this point, Shinso just kind of stepped aside and told his boyfriend, "You're on your own, babe." and then proceeded to sip on his coffee...from the coffee pot. When Mina noticed it, she stopped midway to Denki and watched as Shinso took a gulp of coffee and then let out what almost sounded like a mix between a satisfied and a disappointed sigh.

"You...you do realize your boyfriend is drinking out of the coffee pot, right?" Mina asked Denki. "Yeah, he does that. It's normal," he responded, waving it off. Mina shrugged and then stopped when she noticed some white powder coming down from the window above the sink. "It's snowing..." she whispered. "What?" Denki asked. "IT'S SNOWING! OCHAKO! BABY! GET YOUR SNOW CLOTHES ON. WE'RE HAVING A SNOW PHOTOSHOOT!" she yelled for her girlfriend.

The next thing you know, you have most of the girls and some of the boys, including Denki and Izuku, gathered around the kitchen figuring out what they wanna do. Eijiro, Shinso, Sero, Katsuki, and Todoroki all sat in the common room. Silence ensued between the five students...actually, you could hear the others in the kitchen laughing or saying something along the lines of "That would look so good!" or "We should try to do it at the town square!"

"How long do you think it'll take until someone gets hit in the head with a snowball?" Eijiro asked Izuku. Everyone settled on going outside to have a snowball fight. Which probably not the best idea. "I'd say in about five minutes or second Kacchan's going to take Denki behind that bush, and then something happens," Izuku commented.

Eijiro nodded his head in approval. He's taught his boyfriend well. Katsuki and Shoto sat underneath a tree talking. "I just wanted to say thank you for telling me your story, Bakugo," Shoto told him. "...I hope you know that since you told me your story...I'm gonna tell you mine someday." Katsuki looked at him and felt his eyes widen a bit. "You don't have to if you don't want to. Don't force yourself."

"Bakugo, you trusted me enough to tell me the hardest moment in your life...I need to be able to put a wall down to tell you mine. To tell you why I don't like these holidays and why I never talk much about my childhood." he whispered out. Katsuki looked at him, and he didn't know if he was taking this too far or something, but he cupped Shoto's cheeks and looked at him, saying, "Hey...I'm gonna say this one more time. Take your time. Don't force yourself to tell me your story when you're not ready...I can wait. But when you do and your ready, I'm all ears."

He leaned forward and pressed a gentle kiss to Shoto's forehead. "Now, let's go have some fun in the snow cause I know I really want to throw a snowball at Pikachu's face right this second," Katsuki commented. "Okay." Shoto laughed out.

____One Hour Later____

Everyone went in and warmed up, drinking some hot cocoa, and talking to everyone. Denki was lying across Shinso's and Sero's laps. He might've thrown a snowball at Katsuki's face, which then resulted in him getting a snowball thrown at his face. He also may have gotten some snow down his shirt thanks to his two loving boyfriends.

At the moment, Katsuki was making dinner for everyone while they all tried to warm up after being in the snow for so long. Shoto felt chills run down his spine as he felt an insane chill come across him. It felt like he had ice covering him. Using his left side a bit, he warms himself up and relaxes again. Brushing it off as him losing control of his quirk there for a second, he forgets about it.

Tonight's dinner was a Korean-style kimchi nabe hot pot. It was something that he's made before, and he wanted to try to make something different.

Once it was done, he takes the pot and sets it on the counter. He put down a potholder, so it didn't damage the counter in any way. His mother taught him well. When he did, the class quickly got up and dashed towards the kitchen. They served themselves. He made some white rice to go along with it and set it next to the yummy kimchi dish bowl.

The only person that didn't come into the kitchen was Shoto. Walking into the 'living room,' he sees Todoroki asleep on the couch. He smiles and drapes a blanket over his body.

Walking back to the kitchen, he serves himself some food and saves a bowl for Shoto. Cleaning up quickly, he sits down next to Shoto and gently lays Todoroki's head onto his lap. A blanket being draped over both of them. The tv was turned on, and most of the class went up to their dorms. Other than Denki, Shinso, and Sero.

Those three were all lying on the other couch cuddling. Threading his fingers through Shoto's hair, he feels himself get sleepy and slowly lets the darkness of sleep consume him.

'Why does he feel so hot...?'
