Chapter 18: Getting Closer

~Chapter 18: Getting Closer~

>Todoroki's PoV<

Everything felt hazy- the room was lighter than how I remembered my room being.

Oh...

I looked around, my eyes still adjusting, the sight before me suddenly too much- too cute for my hear to take.

Bakugou was sprawled over my chest, his leg touching one of mine as he laid on his stomach- his mouth was slightly open, any more and he could be drooling.

His eyebrows weren't furrowed, they were calm and gentle, as if finally taking a break from the constant scowl he always had.

If possible, I would take a picture to remember this moment- he truly looks too cute to be real.

He groaned in his sleep, squeezing the arm around my torso, mumbling sounds that couldn't be made out into words.

My hand found itself in his hair, but by the time I realized, he had nestled himself into it, smiling in his sleep- under no means could I take my hand away now- I'd never seen him smile like this!

"Shouto..."

Stop that- it is getting hot again- shit!

I forced myself to move my hand away, trying to gently move his body off of mine, but of course, he stirred.

His eyes opened faster than expected, making him suddenly bolt upright, sitting up with his hair impossibly messy, yet still the cutest bed head I'd ever seen.

"What- why-?"

"You welcomed me back by getting drunk," I smiled, sitting up myself, enjoying his confused expression.

"Ah- shit," he said, scratching his head, "I was fucked up yesterday huh," he said to himself.

"You were lighter than expected," I teased, stating the truth, but knowing it would evoke a reaction out of him, probably remember how clingy and cute he was yesterday.

"You fucker," he said instantly, but his face was becoming more and more flushed with each passing second, he definitely remembered what happened.

"Jokes aside," I said, looking at him straight in his beautiful red eyes, "Thank you. I said it last night but if it wasn't for you I would still be locked up."

"Shut up," he said, scratching his head, yawning, potentially the most beautiful sight seen to man, "Anyone would do that knowing you were innocent."

"Not everyone would get in a fight over it."

Somehow, this was killer for Bakugou.

His face was crimson, staring at me as his pupils quivered.

I was feeling warm again myself, his cute expression was never before seen- I found myself wanting to keep it for myself, not wanting others to see such a cute side of him.

"Fucker-" he said, his voice low and forced, "I'm going to take a shower, I'll make something after."

"Would you like me to join you?" I asked, not expecting any reply at all, he would be upset, most likely, but it was worth a shot- though I know I couldn't even handle it if one day he agreed.

Per expectations, he scowled, but his cheeks continued glowing, and the tips of his ears showed just how caught off guard he was, "Shut your mouth half and half if you want to leave this place alive."

I smiled as I saw him leave, it's been a long time since he's given me any sort of 'threat', It's great to be back.

I waited in his room briefly, curiosity got the best of me and soon I was exploring his apartment, it was neat and polished, he knew how to present his home, it looked warm and homey- a nice place to come home to after hero work.
