Work Text:
Adapting to the dorms was surprisingly easy for Katsuki. He got up his usual time, when no one’s awake and used the communal bathrooms alone. The peace and quiet was nice, sometimes he even had time for a quick jog before breakfast.
But today his entire morning schedule was turned upside down.
He had got up earlier, wanting to jog and comeback to take a quick shower but as soon as he took the elevator to the ground floor he realized he wasn’t the only one awake in the building. The tv had been switched on but when he came to see who was seated by the couch it was empty. Oh he just loved it when people left on the tv during the night, it was probably that idiot pikachu face.
“good morning Bakugo.” A voice came from behind him, he didn’t even have to turn around to know who that voice belonged to.
“icyhot”-“did you leave the tv on?” he turns around to face the two toned boy and how he suddenly regrets everything.
The bastard isn’t even wearing clothes. He must have just gotten out of the shower and decided to stroll around the fucking dorms in a towel.
Katsuki sighs, he didn’t think he’ll have to deal with this at 6am.
“yeah sorry I came back to switch it off” he replies in that stoic voice of his.
Katsuki can’t even hear what his saying because all he can think about how this idiot is standing here in front of him, hair dripping from the shower like it’s a casual thing to do. Does he have no shame?
“shame?”
oh shit Katsuki said that last part out loud.
“I’m- where’s your clothes” his trying not to sound agitated because he was definitely not planning for this to happen for his morning.
Todoroki does reply just points behind him, and when he turns there’s gym clothes hanging from the couch.
They stand in silence for what feels to long just staring at each other.
“I was planning to jog with you this morning” Todoroki breaks the silence finally. Thank god
Wait what??
“what the fuck icyhot bastard how did you know I was going to out?!!” he doesn’t even care that his shouting and could be waking someone up, his kept calm long enough.
“you go out every Tuesday earlier so I guessed it was to go jog.”-“was I mistaken?”
“no- that doesn’t explain why you know that asshole”
“your room is below mine, I can hear you move around” and fuck that’s kind of creepy but also weirdly cute? Katsuki is definitely not blushing because of that, his just creeped out so his cheeks tinted a slight pink. That’s it.
“you’re blushing.” And of course this bastard must state this to him.
“you standing naked in front of me while telling me how you listen to my movements in my room SHUT THE FUCK UP”
Todoroki ignores him and finally grabs for his clothes.
“so is it a yes to the jogging together?”- “we don’t really hang out that much anymore” Todoroki asks.
“it’s because we not friends!”
“we are, so what time are we going?”
“tch, in 5 minutes be dressed.”
He walks off to the kitchen and drinks a glass of water while he waits for the bastard.
It doesn’t actually take him five minutes to get done but double the time and katsuki honestly doesn’t know why he still waited for him.
They jog in silence for the first few minutes until the idiot decides that from all the times his quiet today won’t be that time.
“are you and midoriya dating?” he asks so randomly that it puts a halt to katsukis running.
“what?”
“I asked if you and midor-”
“yes I heard you, you don’t have to repeat it” he cuts him off.
“you asked?” he tilts his head like some confused cat. –“you didn’t answer my question”
“no we aren’t I don’t know why you would think that” he carries on jogging, a little fast as if his trying to run away from this very awkward conversation.
What the fuck was wrong with this icyhot bastard, and so fucking early. Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed.
“are you dating kirishima?”
Todoroki caught up.
“no asshole, he likes that damn deku”
“oh that’s why you’ve not dating midoriya because you care about your friend” he runs ahead and stops right in front of him so that they facing each other when he says it.
“I don’t like fucking deku. What is wrong with you, why you being weird this morning did you knock your head in the shower or something?”
Todoroki doesn’t reply immediately just stares blankly at katsukis face.
“is there someone you want to date” he comes so close that katsuki can feel his breath against his nose.
Goddamn why is his face going red again.
“you’re blu-”
“shut the fuck up NOW” katsuki cuts him off and walks past him.
“we’ve not friends right” Todoroki doesn’t catch up this time, just quietly states from behind katsuki.
He turns around to look at him and the expression on todorokis face is almost laughable. His definitely confused, like he wants to say something but his holding it back.
Suddenly katsuki doesn’t want to be his usual self and reply with his usual answer. They stand like that for a while a few feet apart with Todoroki staring at his feet and katsuki staring at him.
“I apologize for being weird, I’m not good at this thing”
“harassing people? I would say you pretty good at it.” Katsuki regrets it as soon as it leaves his mouth.
“no, I mean by being friends, showing interest in your life.”
“why do you care so much if we friends or not”
“I care about you” he finally looks up when he says that and they make eye contact.
Katsuki doesn’t reply, or more like he doesn’t know how to. All he can hear is his heart beat beating way too fast because of the implication of those words.
“it’s getting late we should probably head back to get done for class” Todoroki says in his emotionless tone like nothing happened.
He turns around making his way back to the dorms.
“Oi walk behind me you bastard!” Katsuki shouts but doesn’t make the move to go ahead of Todoroki.
The walk back is much more quiet. Katsuki has never wanted to break a silence so badly before but what does he even say?
By the time they get to the dorms it’s still quiet besides for Deku in the common room. As soon as he sees them arrive he heads straight for Todoroki.
“good morning Todoroki”-“good morning Kacchan” he smiles and Katsuki doesn’t even have the energy to yell at him so he just grunts and walks away.
He heads off to the elevator to go get ready for class but as soon as his in the elevator doors are stopped by no other than Todoroki Shouto.
He just can’t get a break today can he?
They stand side by side as the elevator goes, Katsuki would rather not face him right now.
“I changed my mind, I don’t want to be friends with you anymore” he says.
Katsuki’s not even going to lie, that was the last thing he expected the bastard to say.
He doesn’t get time to reply anyways as the doors open for his floor. He makes his way out but Todoroki catches his hand before he can escape.
“I want to be boyfriends instead” and he smiles with that.
Katsuki pulls his hand back and looks back to Todoroki.
“You’ll have to take your daddy’s credit card and take me on a date first bastard” he smirks.
The doors are already closing before Todoroki can reply but Katsuki doesn’t miss the wink he sends.
When he finally gets done for class his still a little confused how his early morning turned into getting a date with the class 1a pretty boy.
