Todoroki glanced at a sleeping Aizawa in the corner, then to the intricately sealed letter in his hands, pondering on how he should give it to Bakugou, or whether he actually should give him at all. Todoroki studied him for a moment--Bakugou didn't seem like the type to be interested in anything other than hero studies, but he definitely should give it a try.
"Tokoyami, would you mind passing this to Bakugou?" Todoroki asked, lightly tapping the person sitting in front of him. Tokoyami held out his hand without turning his head, then proceeded to hand the note over to Midoriya.
"Kacchan," Midoriya whispered, waiting for a response.
"What the fuck do you want, shitty nerd?"
Pause.
"Stop being nuisance and just tell me!" Bakugou turned around from his seat, small explosions setting off in his hands. "Uh- this letter is for you," Midoriya said. "Hah?! I don't want it, its probably from that chewed up bubblegum," Bakugou replied, immediately moving back to his position before Midoriya 'interrupted' him. Midoriya sighed, "Actually, it's from Todoroki-kun."
Bakugou didn't reply for a few seconds, so Midoriya thought that he probably doesn't care and was halfway up from his seat to inform Todoroki that Bakugou doesn't want the letter when Bakugou held out his hand. Upon giving the letter, Midoriya turned around and signaled that the letter was successfully delivered. Todoroki let a small smile sit on his face.
----------
At the hallways when Bakugou pushed his hands in his pockets as usual, he felt the unfamiliar feeling of a paper pressed into his hands and fumbled to take the note out.
"Make me soba please"
"What the fuck, do I look like your servant, Icy-hot?!" Bakugou yelled at nothing in particular while crumpling the paper and throwing it in the nearest trash can, then headed to where Todoroki would normally be after eating his food. To nobody's surprise, he was indeed there hanging out with Midoriya with a duck on his head.
As soon as Midoriya saw a pissed off Bakugou heading towards their way, he muttered something like, "Kacchan's here, gotta go," and left Todoroki alone.
"There you are, Icy-hot bastard!" Bakugou grabbed Todoroki's arm as he said in an almost raging tone. Todoroki faced Bakugou with his usual unamused face, then asked, "Oh, Bakugou. Did you read both sides?". Bakugou became confused, "...both sides?". Todoroki nodded. Bakugou crossed his arms and looked away, "I threw it away, so no." Instead of questioning why Bakugou threw the paper away without flipping the sides, Todoroki pulled out another piece of paper, "I had a feeling you would."
I swear if he asks for soba...
Wait, what?
Eyes widened and face reddening, Bakugou drops the paper in shock after reading it. "Go on a date with me?"
Who does he think he is, making me of all people flustered. Why would he ask ME out anyways? Oh wait, it's because im the best out of all these usless extras.
Todoroki's hand went up to his hair, "Is that an issue?"
"Heh, prepare for the best date of your life!" Bakugou exclaimed. For the second time that day, Todoroki let a smile slip onto his face.
"Huh? Stop smiling like that!"
My heart is going to explode because of you
"Can we go after school?" Todoroki asked innocently. (No like as in real legit innocent, hes not planning bad stuff :D) Bakugou tched, then replied, "Sure, whatever. You can leave now."
Todoroki scrunched up his eyebrows, "Actually, I want to stay with you."
"Tch, it's not like you'd listen if I said no."
There was another pause as both stared at each other.
"Can I have your number?" Todoroki gestured towards his phone. "No," came an immediate reply from Bakugou. "Oh. Midoriya would have-" His sentence was cut off as Bakugou yanked his phone, punching his number in, "That damn Deku!" and throwing it back to Todoroki. "Don't even think about texting me," Bakugou said.
"But wh-"
"I have better things to do than text some reincarnated peppermint."
"..."
"But would you at least make me soba?" Todoroki raised up his eyebrow.
Bakugou fumed, "Do I look like your personal chef?!". Instead of taking it as an insult, Todoroki answered quite seriously, "Are you offering? If so, y-"
"Don't finish that sentence, half and half bastard!"
"-es."
"I'm not offering anything, you melted Ice cube! And I'm not a maid either, make your own food!" Bakugou came closer and shook Todoroki.
Bakugou would look good in a maid outfit..
"Oi, stop spacing out when I'm giving you my damn attention!" Bakugou slapped Todoroki gently for him to come back into focus. "Sorry, I was busy fantasizing about you," Todoroki apologised. Bakugou once again went red in the face as he stepped away from the dual-haired male, "Well, stop it, fucking weirdo."
Todoroki thought for a moment, "No, I don't think I will."
"I will rip your eyes out and turn it into nothing but a pile of ashes!"
"That doesn't stop me from thinking about it."
"Ugh, I'll blow your brains out!"
"No."
That took Bakugou by surprise. 'No?' What kind of response was that?
"Hah?! The fuck you mean?!"
"No," Todoroki deadpanned.
"Well fuck you."
Todoroki put a finger on his chin and said something real intelligent, like, "Eh? Moving so fast already? Not that I'm complaining or anything-"
"Tch, not in that way, dumbass."
Although Bakugou knew that was just a teasing statement, he couldn't stop himself from blushing profusely. "You irksome idiot, get out of my presence and go bother some unsuspecting extra. You've been breathing my oxygen for too long," He pointed towards the other end of the corridor, gesturing for Todoroki to leave.
Taking Bakugou's hand instead, Todoroki asked teasingly, "You wont be jealous of them, right?"
"In your dreams, Tod- Icyhot," Bakugou says, sticking out his tongue.
----------
Walking to the rooftop was a mistake. Kaminari was always a lousy 'stalker', and Bakugou noticed him hiding beside a plant in the corridor when he interacted with Todoroki.
"Stop following me, phone charger," Bakugou calls out, crossing his arms. Without turning around, he sent a blast to the direction he heard footsteps from. Looking back, he saw Kaminari in his 'yay' mode...and a very dishevelled Momo looking exasperated and laughable as her hair stuck up everywhere.
"Pfft, you look so stupid Ponytail."
Without responding, Momo picked Bakugou up with no issue and dragged him into Mina's dorm where most of the girls were hanging out at. Upon seeing their arrival, Mina declared that he fixed Momo's appearance. Unfortunately for Bakugou, there was no way out of whatever Mina says.
Ugh, why am I here? Stupid extra, kidnapping me for no reason.
After fixing Momo's hair, Bakugou was halfway through the door when Mina called out to him. "Bakubabe," Bakugou stopped in his tracks. He could almost sense the 'malevolent' aura surrounding that one word.
"I heard you're going on a date with Todoroki," Mina says, her voice oddly calm. Oh no.
"Let me dress you up!!!" Mina shouted so loudly that one would think the whole Heights Alliance of 1-A could hear her.
----------
Dressed in a formal suit and tie, Bakugou emerged from the closet, protesting, "Hell no, I'm not going to some fancy restuarant!"
As he showed himself once again dressed in a maid outfit, there was no hesitation as he threw blasts of explosions at Mina, yelling inaudible words from the sound of the explosion.
Finally, he settled on a casual t-shirt with a skull, matched with a red jacket and slightly baggy grey jeans. "Why do you even have my clothes in your closet?" Bakugou questioned Mina suspiciously. She, instead of replying something, let out a nervous laugh and an ugly smile which showed most of her teeth, almost making her lips curl literally.
----------
It was late afternoon when Bakugou walked out of Mina's dorm to meet his date under a tree outside 1-A dorm. What he didn't know is, Kaminari and Mina decided to stalk them just bcs. After a few minutes of waiting, Todoroki showed up with a purple sweatshirt and a jacket tied around his waist. "Well you took your own sweet time, red velvet cake," Bakugou looked up from where he leaned on the tree.
Todoroki smiled. "Cake," He said. On seeing Bakugou's confused expression, he explained, "You made me want cake."
"Then what about the soba you kept begging for?"
Todoroki looked like he was pouting while trying to decide whether to eat cake or soba.
"Stop making that face, bastard...you look like a kicked puppy. Just get both, it's not hard."
"Oh! You're very smart, Bakugou."
"Hah! Of course I am."
From somewhere in the bushes, Mina facepalmed at Bakugou's antics.
"Look, the limousine is here," Todoroki said as a really long black car pulled up at the front of the dorms. Mina and Kaminari's mouths almost touched the ground in shock. How rich was Todoroki?!
As the both of them boarded the limousine, Kaminari and Mina had to run to catch up with them AND try not to be caught. Although it took a lot of effort, they still managed to make it to the cafe and took a seat together a few away from Bakugou and Todoroki to listen in to their conversation.
"Stop staring at me, you two-eyed weirdo," Bakugou said across from Todoroki.
Raising his eyebrows in confusion, Todoroki says, "You can't call me that. You have two eyes too."
"I'm not Dunce Face, of course I know that." Bakugou replies as he rolled his eyes. Beside Mina, Kaminari gasped dramatically. "I was talking about your annoying heterochromia."
"How can eye colors be annoying?"
Annoyingly pretty...
Wait what? Shut up brain.
"It doesn't matter, stop asking questions."
"But I only asked one-"
"Shut up."
Todoroki continued staring at Bakugou.
"Would you quit staring at me?"
He blinked, not responding.
"Don't ignore me, Icy-hot! You think you're better than me?!"
"Are you a pomeranian's secret love child?" Todoroki asked, completely driving them out of topic.
"No I'm not, you overgrown candycane."
"But you have so many similarities," Todoroki pointed out, "Your hair is like a pomeranian, fluffy and blonde. You're both cute-"
"Hah?? Go to an optometrist and get your eyes checked."
"-You're both angry all the time."
"Shut-" Bakugou started, but Todoroki placed his feet on his lap, rendering Bakugou almost immobile, "Oh, and you're both short too."
"You're probably only a few centimetres taller, so I'm not-"
"Yeah, 4 centimetres taller," Todoroki stated.
"What?"
"It's the exact difference in our height. Midoriya told me."
Bakugou stood up, "I'm gonna explode that shitty Deku into oblivion."
"Here are your orders," The waitress appeared before them, placing the food and drinks on the table.
"Took you long enough, extra," Bakugou said as the waitress almost turned white in paralysis.
"Don't be rude, pom pom," Todoroki sighed as he apologised to the waitress.
Bakugou sipped from his drink and scrunched up his face at the nickname, "Don't call me that."
"But you're my angry pomeranian."
"I'm not a pomeranian!" Bakugou raised up both his arms in protest, almost spilling his drink.
"What about a-"
"No."
The table was met with silence as both of them ate their food. Mina and Kaminari was so bored that they almost decided to approach their table and cause some chaos.
"Can I try some of your drink?"
"No."
Todoroki stared at Bakugou unblinkingly, making him feel jittery.
"You haven't touched your cake," Bakugou observed.
"Feed me."
"Of course not!"
"Why not?"
"Tch, do I need a reason?"
"Hmm, how about, if you let me take a sip, you feed me?" Todoroki proposed.
"And how does that benefit me?" Bakugou questions, slightly perplexed.
"Indirect kiss."
What?-
Bakugou thought for a moment, before making up his mind, "Whatever. I'm only doing this because I want to, not because YOU asked me to."
Unfortunately, as soon as the straw touched Todoroki's mouth, the contents of the drink was emptied.
"Did you seriously drink all of it? Nevermind, whatever," Bakugou mutters the last sentence and picked up the cake to feed Todoroki.
----------
The sun was already setting as they walked out of the cafe. Suddenly, Todoroki grabbed Bakugou's jacket, took it off and froze it in his hand.
"What the- unfreeze it, bastard!" Bakugou yelled, making a grab for his jacket.
Todoroki didn't say anything, just simply untied the hoodie from his waist and pulled it over Bakugou's head, "You looked cold."
"I had a jacket on...well until you stole it," Bakugou says, unamused.
"But you have mine now." Todoroki counters, pulling Bakugou into a hug.
"Tch," He replies, but puts his arms over Todoroki's shoulders as well.
---------- bonus scene ----------
As Bakugou walked into his dorm, he found a red packaging sitting on his bed. Curiousity dawning over him, he went over and opened the package. He immediately turned red in embarrassment as he held out a body pillow that has a picture of none other than Todoroki Shouto on it.
"Who the hell put this in my room?!"
