Mine //~Baku x Todo

7 ~ trust

My eyes blink open and the first thing I notice is the stinging pain in my back.
I lift my head and notice the aching in my neck.

"Morning sleepy head"
My mom says.

"Mhm"
I answer groggily.

"The way you two were sleeping looked really sweet"
She says as she leaves the living room. The door closes behind her.

Still half asleep, I look around, then down. Icyhot's asleep in my lap and my hand's in his hair.
I quickly pull my hand away, accidentally ripping out some of the hair in the process.
Icyhot shoots up and starts looking around frantically, his chest falling and rising very fast from his also frantic breathing.

"Sorry sorry"
I touch his arm.
"Everything's okay"

He stares at me and nods, slowly letting himself fall forward. He rests his head on my shoulder, in an effort to calm himself down. I pat his head a little.

He's kinda...cute....?
God...this is a fucked up thing to think of in a situation like this.

"What time is it?"
He asks.

"Uhm...."
I turn on my phone. Great. It's only at 8%.
"6.30"

"So we have an hour...."
He mutters, probably thinking aloud.

"Yup."
I stand up
"My backs killing me"
I complain as I make my way over back to my room.

"Bakugou! We're going to be late"
Icyhot peeks into my room as I'm in the process of stuffing my books into my bag.

"I know I know. But we're taking the bike"
I slip into my blazer.

"Bike? As in singular?"

"Yes."
I start pushing him towards the door.

"Katsuki! Shoto!"
My mom yells.
"Heads up!"
Icyhot and I both raise our heads and look at her. Both of us catch what's thrown at us.
It's cream pan.

"Thanks"
I say and continue pushing Icyhot.

"Thank you, Ms. Bakugou"
He calls out.
"See you this evening"

"See you later, sweetie. You too, brat"

"Bye you old hag"
The door loses behind us.

Icyhot's standing on the thing connecting the bike to the wheels, as he holds onto my shoulders.

"Am I not too heavy?"
He asks.

"Are you calling me weak!?"
I yell.

"My bad my bad. You're not weak. You're the strongest"
He pats my shoulder.

"That's what I like to hear"
I say and warn him:
"Curb"

"Yup"
He holds onto me tighter.

"We're almost there"

"Ten minutes til class starts."

"I told you we'd make it"

"I know. Never said I don't trust you"
He squeezes my shoulder as we quickly approach the gates.

"Wanna get off?"
I ask as I slow down a little.

"N- uhm- fine"
I stop and he jumps off the bike. I get off too and walk next to- no- Icyhot walks next to me as I push my bike to the bicycle stands.

"Here."
He hands me the packet with the cream pan in it.

"Open it for me, will ya?"
I say groggily as I lock up my bike and stuff the key into my bag.

"Here you go"
He says and I bite into it, not taking it from his hands. Only after we start walking, I take the sweet pastry from his hands. Both of us start eating as we approach the doors of the building.

"Todoroki!"
Both of us turn around to see deku running towards us.

"Ugh"
I sigh.
"I'm going ahead"

"But-"
He cuts himself off.
I look down at my sleeve. Right now, Icyhot's clinging to the sleeve of my blazer.

"What's your problem? He's your friend, right? Don't be such a clingy crybaby"

"I....I don't feel so good"
He whispers

"You'll be fine"
I ruffle through his hair and he looks away embarrassed. He lets go of my sleeve and I start walking away, before I get in the general vicinity of that nerd, that is now happily chatting with the spaced out Icyhot.

In between classes Icyhot comes up to me.

"I'm going to Midoriya's after school"
He whispers.

"Oh yeah? My condolences"
I say and he laughs a little.

"Anyway. I'll be back late or not at all"

"I'll tell my mom. Now leave me alone, I'm tired and want to sleep"
He nods and goes back to his seat, where Kirishima and Mina are already waiting to talk to him.
