Todoroki POV
While I put the clothes from my suitcase into the little closet, my phone vibrates and I look at the text from my dad.
"Don't be lazy just because you're on a field trip. Huh. What a surprise"
I mumble and throw my phone onto the bed.
I look at the bottle of sleeping pills in my trembling hand.
Why did I take this with me?
If it wasn't for Bakugou, I would've just swallowed these a whole while ago.
And he's calling me a prick, huh?
That dumbass.
I go over to the window and look for Bakugou, who is probably still jogging and cursing.
Should I just take them now?
I mean...Bakugou would probably not even notice until tomorrow or so.
He doesn't care about me that much.
I want to take them and I was really to determined earlier, but now...
"I'm a coward"
I sigh and sit on the bed, my face buried in my hands.
"Agreed"
Someone says
I flinch and the pill bottle falls to the floor.
Before I can pick it up, Bakugou snatches it away, looking at it closely.
"What the hell do you need sleeping pills this strong for?"
He asks confused.
"What do you care?"
I ask and try to take them from him, but he holds them up.
"...True"
He says, after a moment of silence, as if he was considering whether to continue asking or not. He tosses them over to me, then looks at the bed.
"You're sleeping in the top bed"
He adds and kicks my shin.
"...fine. I guess there's no point in arguing"
I sigh and get up.
"I see you've learned. I'm impressed."
He sneers.
I climb up onto the top bed and lay down.
"I'm not going to wake you up when you fall asleep"
"Okay"
I say
I hear how Bakugou lays down below me.
Not expecting to actually fall asleep, I close my eyes and let out a deep, sorrowful sigh.
The last thing I hear before drifting off into a deep slumber, is a muffled 'shut up'.
~~
"Wake up"
Someone whispers, very close to my ear. So close, I can feel their hot breath on my cool skin.
I quickly open my eyes and see Bakugou infront of me
Is this a dream or something?
I reach out and touch his face, when I'm about to push him away, he bites my finger.
Okay
It's not a dream
Wait.
Did I sleep?
No way
Never mind that. My finger hurts.
"Why did you bite me?"
"Why did you touch my face!?"
He says, very upset, eventhough I should be the one who's upset, since he bit my hand.
"Dinner"
He says and goes to the door, angrily slamming it shut behind him.
I thought he wasn't going to wake me up...
Hold up. So I was actually asleep?
This also happened on the bus.
After Bakugou fell asleep, which happened after not even 10 minutes, he leaned against me in his sleep. Then...I just... fell asleep?
Maybe it's because I haven't slept in a while.
Or because I was nervous?
I have no idea...
I decode to ignore it and jump off the bed, then put on my shoes, to leave the cabin.
I make a trail of ice infront of me and slide down the hill, to the main cabin, where we're supposed to eat dinner.
"Hey Todoroki!"
Uraraka says, when I reach the cabin
"Hello"
"Are you okay? It must be exhausting rooming with Bakugou"
She says quietly
"So-so. I just slept this whole time. And eventhough he said he wouldn't, he woke me up"
"Huh. That's nice.... I guess"
Well...he also bit me, but I wont tell her that
"Who are we talking about?"
Momo pops out infront of us, when we enter the cabin.
"Bakugou"
Uraraka says quietly as we sit at the table, where Midoriya and Iida are already waiting for us.
"Did something happen?"
She asks
"Oooof cou~rse you would want to join in on our conversation"
Uraraka says and Momo blushes a little
"Did I miss something?"
I ask
"Momo is crushing on Bakugou"
Uraraka says and looks at the blonde across the room, with his head on the table, while his red haired friend, pokes his face with a fork.
"I don't get you"
Midoriya sighs
"Right. He might be semi-good-looking, but he's got a terrible temper and personality"
Iida says, then continues eating his salad.
"That may be, but he can also be nice if he wants to. And imagine if I was the only person he was nice to...that would make me the very single most special person in his life"
She says, dreamy
"Is that grammatically correct? Very single most special...?"
I ask
"That is what you got from that?!"
She whines
"It's typical. A good girl, crushes on a handsome bad boy, thinking she can change him and be that one special person to him. Like in some Shojou manga"
I say
"Quit being so logical alll the time"
She sighs and leans her chin on her hand
"Sorry"
"You just like him because he's ripped"
Uraraka adds, making Momo blush like crazy.
"N-no! You could say that about half the people in this class"
"Yeah but he's on a different level"
"Agreed"
Midoriya sighs in annoyance
"Anyway. Let's get food. I'm hungry"
Momo says annoyed and gets up
~~
We sit around a bright red bonfire, on blankets Momo made for us, justsitting in a circle and talking.
Somehow, I ended up sitting between Bakugou and Midoriya. Which means, Bakugou gets angry everytime Midoriya talks a little too loud or even breathes too loud.
Most people in our class went to sleep already, eventhough we don't really have a bedtime. Now, it's just Kirishima, Kaminari, Mina, Bakugou, Momo, Midoriya, Uraraka and I.
"Hey Todoroki, do want to jog with me tomorrow morning?"
Midoriya asks
"Deku! Didn't I say to shu-"
"Cool down"
I cut Bakugou off and put my cold hand on his forehead.
The angry expression fades and turns into a confused one.
I thought he'd for sure attack me again, but he just stares at me confused, then turns away.
I take my hand back and turn to Midoriya, who looks just as confused.
"Sure. But let's do it before breakfast"
I say and lean back, my hands placed behind me, staring at the bright red fire.
Next to me, Bakugou let's himself fall backwards into the grass and looks up at the starry sky.
I breathe in the cool night air and close my eyes.
When I openthem again, I realize I'm all alone next to the bonfire. Almost all alone. Bakugou is still asleep next to me.
Looks like I fell asleep too. And the others left to go to bed....what dumbasses leave a fire unattended?
I look at my phone, the clock telling me it's already 2am.
Rubbing my eyes, I slowly get up and stretch my...everything, almost falling over from standing up too fast.
I make the dumb decision to nudge Bakugou with my foot, of course, he immediately pulls away my legs and I land on the ground again.
"Dumbass. Don't wake me like that"
He says, ending in a yawn.
"Sorry. The others all went to bed"
I say as I put out the already dim and small fire with some ice.
"Why didn't they wake me? Why didn't you wake me earlier!?"
"I fell asleep too"
I raise my arms in defense.
"Couldn't be bothered, huh? Those assholes"
He says and starts walking
"Agreed''
I scramble to get up, then walk next to him.
"Did you just indirectly call them assholes?"
He asks and laughs a little
"I'm tired"
I say and shrug
He scoffs, trying not to laugh.
While walking alongside Bakugou, I look up.
"Oh. A shooting star"
I say and tug on Bakugou's shirt while pointing at the sky.
"Yeah"
He says and gazes up into the sky as well, slapping my hand away.
"What did you wish for?"
He asks and looks at me.
"To die"
I say bluntly and meet his gaze.
Oh no
Why did I say that.
Will he now also be like:
Are you alright?
Are you serious?
Should I get you help?
Do you want to talk?
"It wont come true if you say it out loud, smartass"
He says and flicks my forehead, then continues walking.
What?
