In his fifteen years of life, Shouto had never had the chance to celebrate Halloween, so when Ashido came up with the idea of dressing up and having a party, he decided to participate. It wasn’t a common knowledge, but he liked sweets and as far as he knew, that celebration came with lots of them.
”What will you dress up as, Todoroki-kun?” He heard Midoriya’s voice and when he looked up, he saw the green haired boy looking down at him.
From the way Todoroki could examine his face – leaning his head back to the back of the couch – Todoroki noted that his freckles were cuter than he had remembered. When was the last time he could take a close look to that adorable face aga-
”-kun? Are you okay?” Midoirya’s worried voice broght him back from his thoughts. Shouto felt his cheeks blushing and looked to the side.
”I’m not familiar with the holiday, but my sister teaches young kids. I hope she can give me some ideas,” he said, then jumped up from his seat and fleed the common room. When he reached the elevator, he literally ran into Baukgou, who stepped out of it at the same time he wated to rush in.
”Look where you’re going, fucking IcyHot!” The blond grumbled, but when he saw the tint of pink on the other’s cheeks, he narrowed his eyes. ”Can’t you just be hoest with him already? You two dancing around each other makes me sick!”
”As if it’s just that easy,” Todoroki mumbled, trying to step in the elevator, but Bakugou grabbed his arm.
”It worked for me and you know better than anyone how bad of a personality I have,” he said with an uncharacterical tenderness in his voice. Shouto looked at him, surprise clear in his eyes.
”Which means?” He asked and Bakugou’s eyebrows twitched.
”It means if I could do it, there won’t be any problems for you, dumbass!” Bakugou said, then pushed him in the elevator. ”Try to choose something presentable!” Shouto heard as the elevator doors closed between them.
Before the party, each student got the alowance to go home to prepare. Instead of going home, Shouto went to the hospital, where his sister and mother helped him out with being presentable. Fuyumi gushed over the end product while Rei only slapped her hands together, praising him for his good looks in his vampire costume. Needless to say, it made Shouto blush.
His journey back to U.A. was uneventful. With everyone wearing different costumes, he didn’t stick out from the crowd that much. He was back at U.A. in 25 minutes and felt the knot in his stomach tightnening with every step he made towards 1-A’s dorm building.
When he opened the door, his breath was caught in his thought: the common room was decorated beautifully in Halloween stilye with spiderwebs, Jack-o-Lanterns and everything that was needed to the berfect celebration. The coffee table was full of different kinds of sweets and he could feel the sweet smell coming from the kitchen – Satou had to bake something.
”Ah, Todoroki-kun!” He heard the cute chirp and when he looked up, his heard skipped a beat. In front of him stood Midoriya in the most adorable ghost castume Shouto had ever seen – not that he had seen so many in his life...
”Gev, Midoriya!” He said and Deku tilted his head with a ’huh?’ Shouto felt his cheeks heating up and had to take a deep breath to hold himself back from ignitng.
”It meant ’Good evening’, shitty Deku!” Shouto heard the loud voice beside him and jumped a bit. ”Huh, your costume are not that bad, IcyHot!”
Shouto looked at Bakugou, who was wearing a furry kaky coat, two fluffy ears and a red collar around his neck. So, he dressed as a werewolf. It fitted him, really. Shouto sent Bakugou a small smile who only huffed as an answer.
”Thanks, Bakugou! My family helped me choos this costume and helped me prepare to this event.” Bakugou groaned and from the look on his face, Shouto could tell that Bakugou’s preparation wasn’t that fun.
”I remember that auntie Mitsuki always loved dressing you up at Halloween!” Izuku chirped in with shining eyes.
”Don’t remind me!” Bakugou yelled, then hurried away towards the kitchen. Shouto hummed inside. He really wanted to know more about the past of those two.
”Come on, Todoroki-kun!” Izuku said, taking Shouto’s hand in his with a small blush on his cheeks. ”Horror movie night is about to start!”
