i. Honey.
Todoroki and Bakugou have been dating for almost 2 months now, it is still a surprise to see how these two haven’t broken up yet. Well, Todoroki and Bakugou are like water and oil - often . They don't get along and everyone knows it, even an outsider that isn't their classmates would know to never let the two of them in the same room for longer than 5 minutes.
Bakugou may seem like a bad example from some aspects. He swears a lot and is practically just rude to anyone - he is said to be arrogant because he has a powerful quirk that he is so confident in to become the number one hero. He is just someone that is somehow easy and hard to read at the same time, just when you thought you can figure him out - he will flip the coin and suddenly you can't.
Their classmates always have second thoughts whenever they see how Bakugou doesn't change even the slightest when he is dating the academy's most pretty boy, Todoroki Shouto. They will always try to talk to Todoroki if he is truly happy with dating the beast to which Todoroki would shrug them off and say that only Bakugou can make him feel like he is levitating in the clouds of comfort.
He even ignored their comments about how Bakugou is actually treating him badly when they never saw Bakugou behind the scenes.
Bakugou is actually the best boyfriend anyone could ever ask for; he is the tsundere type and it took a few days for Todoroki to figure it out. From the outside, he might seem like someone you never want to approach unless necessary - he has a bad reputation but he also has the best brain. Everyone fears him because they don't know his true colour.
What they don't see is how Bakugou will take care of Todoroki behind everyone else. One time when Todoroki was caught by his boyfriend, eating nothing but a snack for lunch - Bakugou was so pissed and started nagging him. The next day, Bakugou made a bento for Todoroki to which he said he doesn't want a boyfriend that doesn't eat healthy. Instead of being offended, Todoroki smiled softly at him and mumbled a small thank you which made the blonde’s cheeks redder.
There was also one time when Bakugou would pull Todoroki into a warm hug as soon as Todoroki came back to the dorm. He was having a hard day dealing with his father and in need of comfort from none other than the love of his life - Bakugou Katsuki. His heart was beating so hard to see Bakugou in the common room alone while watching a movie, it was as if Todoroki didn't want to see anyone else as soon as he walked into the door.
Bakugou would greet him with an open arm, telling his half and half boyfriend to wrap his arms around him to which Todoroki hurriedly dropped his bag and ran toward Bakugou. Arms wrapped around his lover’s tiny waist, burying his face into the blonde’s neck. Feeling so comfortable, he leaned in even more, tightened the hug, sniffing the lovely smell of his lover as he closed his eyes - Bakugou would rub his back as if Todoroki is a child in need of comfort.
And there are more of it where Bakugou is actually the best boyfriend ever even though the other people said otherwise. And it is only for Todoroki to know this side of his boyfriend, he becomes possessive.
Today, when Todoroki woke up to the empty bed early in the morning, he groaned. The bed is cold without Bakugou and he hated it, he felt like he was all alone without the so-called-beast. Yawning and stretching for a few minutes before he gets up off the bed; calling Bakugou’s name over and over again until he arrives in the kitchen.
There stands a wild Bakugou scowling as he flips the pancakes on the pan. Kaminari and Sero are testing his patience, and bear in mind it is 7 in the morning. Bakugou’s wonderful Saturday was ruined by these two idiots - “Kacchan, aren't you gonna feed us too?”
“Make your fucking own pancakes, Dunce face.”
“That is so rude Kacchan! You know I would burn the kitchen if I do it myself.” Kaminari whined.
“Well maybe try not to burn the fucking kitchen?” Bakugou said, placing the pancake on the plate gently.
“You know I tried before and almost got banned from going near the kitchen by Aizawa Sensei.”
Todoroki leaned on the door frame, watching the two of them throw endless conversation. He feels like he was watching a mother scolding the son in the morning. It was a wonderful feeling before Kaminari said something along the line; “I wonder if I were dating you, would you consider making breakfast for me too?”
That’s it, Todoroki’s soul weighed. “Good morning, honey. ”
Bakugou unintentionally dropped the plate as soon as he heard a familiar voice. He whipped his head toward Todoroki, glaring into his soul. “What did you just say, Halfie?” His words may sound like a threat to other people who are not Todoroki, but Todoroki swore in his voice he hinted at affection and disbelief.
“Holy shit- Did Todoroki just call him- mhm?! ” Kaminari was about to finish his sentence before Sero pulled him away from the couple. Sero smiles apologetically at Todoroki, he can feel the intense aura coming from him.
“Sero what the hell man-”
“If you aren't suicidal, let’s not get in between them.” Sero whisper-shouted at Kaminari as he dragged the child away.
“I said Good morning.” Todoroki repeats, probably responding to the question his boyfriend asked a few minutes ago. He sat on the chair, waiting for the pancakes.
Bakugou places the pancakes in front of him, handing the syrup maple and whip cream - incase his boyfriend changes his mood. “That’s not what I mean. You called fucking call me, 'honey'.”
“I don't see the problem with calling you honey , Katsuki.” Todoroki said, pouring the syrup on his pancakes before cutting them. “We are dating so I think it is normal between couples to give each other nicknames, no?”
Bakugou scowled, “That was so out of the blue. You never call me anything but Bakugou and Katsuki .”
“Things change, honey .” Todoroki said, calmly ignoring his boyfriend’s burning cheeks at his sudden pet name. It’s fun to tease his lover sometimes, the reaction is worth seeing. “Tomorrow you’re making pancakes for breakfast right? I want to have honey tomorrow.”
“Can you fucking stop?”
“I don't know, can you honey ?”
“Oh my god you are insufferable .”
“And you love me for it.”
“Fucking hell- I do and I still can't believe I do.”

ii. Love.
Bakugou hates winter so bad - not only that his quirk won't hurt because of the cold temperature. He hates it because he can't stop his body shivering, it is annoying.
He can't believe some people actually like the winter season.
And even worse, his classroom heater is broken.
What a nice way to start the day.
Winter? More like the world is coming after him. Bakugou hates the cold weather so much, his cheeks become rosy pink and his knuckles become pale, exposing the pinkish skin. Self study is more like self destruction in this cold classroom, even extras are having a hard time warming themselves.
“ Love .”
Bakugou lifted his head from the table, eyes widened in shock to see his boyfriend standing in front of his table, stoic as ever and Bakugou cursed how pretty Todoroki is and he was blessed with two useful powers. “What?” Bakugou said, hands trembling inside his pockets.
“Should I warm you up? You look awful, love .”
Bakugou wants to protest over the pet name but his tongue won't let him - he decided to let him go today, it's just a pet name it wouldn't hurt to at least get used to it. However, their classmates forgot about the coldness when they realised Bakugou isn't going to throw a fit over the nickname. Some of them even mumbled a ‘This is the end of the world?’
Fucking extras, Bakugou wanted to bark it at them but the temperature isn't on his side. He scowled under his hands, exhaling into his palms to warm them up. “I don't look awful, I look amazing.”
“Whatever helps you sleep at night, love .” Todoroki said, handing out his hand - Bakugou instinctively put his hand on top of his lover’s hand, his cheeks became hotter when he realised he looked like a dog putting their hand on their owner’s.
Bakugou was about to open his mouth when suddenly Todoroki pulled him out of his chair. Bakugou let out a gasp, “What the actual-”
“I can’t warm you up just by holding your hand.” Todoroki said before sitting back at Bakugou’s chair, still holding the blonde’s hand. “Here, sit love .” Todoroki said, patting his lap with his free hand.
The room was filled with whispering in denial. They can't believe Todoroki is going to get out alive after this, they started to hope Todoroki isn't going to get blast-
Bakugou sat on his lap.
The Bakugou sat on someone’s lap; his boyfriend ’s.
Bakugou is sitting on his lap, unbothered. Todoroki was shocked at how sudden the contact was, he was so puzzled. The weight on his lap is heavy yet it doesn't bother him. He feels rather comfortable . “Oi, you said you were going to warm me up, Half and Half.” Bakugou’s voice brought him back from his thoughts.
“Oh.” Todoroki doesn't know what else to say, wrapping his arm around Bakugou’s middle. Gasping a little when Bakugou leaned more into his chest, Todoroki is going to die because of Bakugou. Yeah, Bakugou is going to kill him.
“You are actually useful.”
“Before this I wasn't useful to you, love ?”
“Shut up.” Bakugou said, he turned his head to face Todoroki. Todoroki was confused, he tilted his head trying to examine his boyfriend's expression before a pair of lips met his.
Yeah Bakugou is going to be the death of him.
“You will always be useful .” Bakugou whispered, his breath dancing on Todoroki’s lips. Todoroki had no time to maintain his temperature, he was so hot. Bakugou yelped at the sudden hotness. “Oi! Why the hell are you burning?!”
“That’s unfair, Katsuki.”
“Huh?!”
Todoroki pulled him into a deeper kiss. Bakugou doesn't want to pull away but Todoroki is forgetting something important - that they are in their class, with people watching them. Bakugou wanted to pull away before the grip on his waist tightening, pulling him even closer.
“You are so fucking damn insufferable .” Said Bakugou, as soon as they broke the kiss. Cheeks become redder than before, lips swollen.
“You love me for it.”
“Shut the fuck up.”
“I hope you guys don't forget we are also here.” Kaminari finally opened his mouth, everyone shushed him up; he sunk into his seat while muttering sorry. Bakugou was glaring at him - he was so embarrassed but the kiss felt so good. Bakugou will let him off this time too.

iii. Sweetheart.
“Hey, Sweetheart ?” Todoroki peeks into Bakugou’s bedroom. His eyes met with the five pairs of eyes, Bakugou is tutoring his friends tonight so he couldn't hang out in Bakugou’s room. He flashed a soft smile at them as a greet, politely.
“What is it, Half 'n Half?” Bakugou said, returning his attention back to the notes on the table.
“Have you seen my wallet?” Todoroki asked, walking in right after he closed the door behind him. He went around looking for his wallet inside Bakugou’s room. Sure, everyone in the room knows they are dating but they still cannot get over the fact that Todoroki is still alive at this point. “Midoriya and the others invited me to go grab dinner.”
Bakugou just hummed, tapping the table to get his friends slash students’ attention back to the notes. “I don't know, try looking inside the wardrobe.” He said, didn't bat an eye.
Todoroki hummed, making his way toward the wardrobe. “Excuse me Kirishima.”
“Oh sorry!” Kirishima muttered as he stepped aside a little to let Todoroki walk past him.
Todoroki then continued his searching, opening the wardrobe and started scanning inside. It was neatly organised - well this is Bakugou’s closet, obviously it will be neat. He may not look like it but he is the type that will organise everything even if it takes hours. Suddenly he found his wallet on top of Bakugou’s old clothes from their first year box. “Found it.”
“Good, now get going.” Bakugou said, still didn't look at Todoroki. He continues explaining the formula to his friends, didn't even realised Todoroki walks toward him
His steps are soft as he makes his way to Bakugou. Bakugou sees Todoroki is approaching him from the corner of his eyes, he turns his head toward him.
“What is it now?”
“You are not going to give me a goodbye kiss, sweetheart ?”
Bakugou chokes on his saliva while his friends shriek. Todoroki is pouting because Bakugou makes it look like he doesn't want to give Todoroki a kiss, and that offends him. “What are you? A child?”
“If I am, you will be considered a pedo for dating me.” Todoroki bite back, still pouting.
The Bakusquad couldn't contain their laughter anymore as they burst with laughter - Sassy Todoroki will always be the best. They still can't believe Bakugou still let him enjoy his time on earth, he could be enjoying his time in heaven if he wasn't Bakugou’s boyfriend - Bakugou would kill him if he acted like this.
“Oh so you wanna go?” Bakugou said, hands ready to blast his lover when-
“I can’t go on a date with you sweetheart , I told you I’m going to grab dinner with my friends.”
“Shut up and fucking go already!” Bakugou shouted, ignoring the blush on his face as he throws his pillow at Todoroki which he dodge effortlessly.
“I will not go until I get my goodbye kiss.” Stubborn.
His friends witnessing their bickering is normal yet somehow today is different.
Todoroki received a message saying Uraraka is starving, he sighed and decided to get the kiss tonight after he had his dinner. A hand grabs onto the back of his shirt before he can get too far.
“You’re such a pain.” Bakugou scoffs, looking away as if to hide the blush on his face, everyone can see the tip of his eyes reddened. He turns around, Pulling Todoroki by his wrist, Todoroki complies and lets his boyfriend drag him.
Todoroki currently sits in between Bakugou and Kirishima. Bakugou’s hand comes up to caress the dual tone hair’s cheek as Bakugou leans in. Todoroki shuts his eyes, smug and satisfied that Bakugou is a pushover. He waits for the soft lips to meet his, only to feel the gentle brush of lips on his forehead.
Todoroki opens his eyes once more, pouting at his boyfriend who is smirking at him.
“ Sweetheart .” Todoroki’s tone came out dark, sending shivers down the four outsiders’ spines while Bakugou just laughed.
Bakugou reaches out and cards his fingers through his lover’s hair, a smile formed on his lips when Todoroki leaned into his touch.
“You’re such a pain sometimes .” Bakugou mumbled, propping an elbow up on the bed as he leaned forward once more.
Todoroki laughs at the growing blush on the blonde’s face as he meets Bakugou partway. The chaste kiss was the sweetness of passion, a million loving thoughts condensed into a moment.
“I’m going now, sweetheart .” Todoroki noticed, Bakugou just hummed and waved his hand - shoo-ing his lover as Todoroki closed the door to his room.
“And they said these two aren't affectionate.” Mina said, breaking the awkward silence between all of them as soon as the couple pulled away from their kiss. Kirishima nudges Mina. “Ow!”
“Shut up and let’s continue. I am not letting you extras fail the class after I tutored you.” Bakugou scowled.
And if they saw Bakugou blushed, no they don't.

iv. Baby.
“I keep on telling you to knock it off with all the pet names,” Bakugou loves his boyfriend so much, he always does but that part of his boyfriend is annoying. Random pet names out of the blue and suddenly become sappy after his sassy side came out. He loves Todoroki to the point he will sacrifice the world for him, but he can't stand being embarrassed whenever he gets called out by Todoroki.
Especially just now, Bakugou and his friends were walking toward their classrooms after lunch time only to find Todoroki shouting Baby ! as soon as he opened the door.
Everyone outside the class heard it and oh lord Bakugou was burning in embarrassment and rage. “Why do you never listen to me?!” Bakugou pulled his boyfriend by his shirt.
“I try, but all I hear is barking,” The half and half says with a teasing grin.
Todoroki have a gut. Just because he is Bakugou Katsuki’s boyfriend, he thought he owns the world - well actually he is. Bakugou is his world. Bakugou want to blow Todoroki's head so hard,
“You deserve to rot in hell,” Bakugou declares as spitefully as he can, “You moron.”
“Your one and only moron, baby. ” Todoroki muttered. He is holding Bakugou’s hands tightly against his cheeks in an effort to warm them. Bakugou’s hands are dangerous because of his quirk yet Todoroki isn't scared of them, he loves them - every part of him.
“Let go, asshole.”
“No.” Todoroki ends up shifting so that he’s kissing the fingertips.
Bakugou’s face is almost like his beautiful lovely vermillion eyes, the one Todoroki would worship every day and night. His treasured ruby, the only gems Todoroki would never trade it for anything else.
It’s surprisingly endearing, at odds with Bakugou's propensity to be loud and violent towards him. Todoroki found peace in him, the world of Todoroki is chaotic and Bakugou is the peace he is looking for.
“Oi half n half, take a picture. It lasts longer.” Bakugou smirked, pulling his hands away from the warmth. Todoroki let out a low and quiet growl before wrapping his arms around Bakugou’s torso.
Iida loudly clears his throat. “Please refrain yourself from doing this in public, Todoroki-kun.”
Bakugou flustered as he walked off as soon as he escaped the other man’s grip. “Fuck you.” Bakugou said spitefully.
“Last time I checked I was the one doing you, baby .”
“Shut the fuck up! Holy shit you are embarrassing !”
Kaminari, Sero and Uraraka gave their money to Midoriya, Jirou and Kirishima because they lost the bet; and their classmates should never put a bet on who is the top and bottom in their relationship anymore.

v. Kitten.
“Oh Todobro, do you want to join us?” Kirishima hands the controller to Todoroki.
Todoroki tilted his head a little, “Sure?”
And that’s how Todoroki spent his Friday night with the Bakusquad playing Mario Karts. He originally came down to bring a glass of water for his boyfriend but he got so immersed into the game that he has totally forgotten what time it is now.
He was so focused on beating Kaminari when suddenly someone threw a cushion on his head, Todoroki was confused and when he turned around - his eyes widened. Oh shit I totally forgot .
Bakugou standing there, he was enraged. “Half and Half, you fucker.” He approached them, stomping louder and louder. His friends panicked as they tried to make a plan to get out alive from Bakugou’s wrath.
Todoroki gulped, “ Kitten .”
That came out unintentionally, even Todoroki himself was taken aback with his own words. He looked up at Bakugou whose face is redder than anything else, his eyes were clouded and he looked so out of it. Then, Todoroki turns to look at the four of them, standing there in shock.
“You bastard.”
Todoroki is going to die, “Baku-”
“If you want to call me that, at least make sure not in public you idiot!” Bakugou said, grabbing his wrist. Todoroki was so surprised by the sudden action and mood change, he was dragged into the elevator.
“Where are you dragging me?” Todoroki asked, sure Bakugou pressed his floor button but Todoroki still didn't get what was happening here.
Bakugou avoided his eye contact, irritating Todoroki more. “ Kitten , I asked a question.”
“And I don't want to answer it.” Bakugou said as soon as the elevator door opened, he grabbed Todoroki’s wrist once again and dragged him out of the elevator. “It’s your fault. You fucking told me we are going to hang out in your room yet you left me saying you were just going to grab a glass of water.”
“I am sorry.”
“Oh no, you’re fucking not sorry at all.”
Finally they reached his room. “Open it.”
Todoroki sighed, the keys to his room dangling as he unlocked the room. Bakugou pushed him inside, knocking the oxygen out of his lungs, “Baku-”
“Kitten.” Bakugou said, kicking the door to close behind him. His finger touches Todoroki’s lips like a feather. Todoroki is afraid that if he lets out a single breath, the finger will fly away. “You called me kitten .”
“I did.” Todoroki said, enjoying the thumb caressing his bottom lip. He groaned when Bakugou pulled it away, “You don’t like it? Want me to stop giving you pet names?”
“I like them but I was wondering why so suddenly?”
Todoroki pressed his lips into a thin line before leading Bakugou into his room, he patted the spot beside him and Bakugou gladly took a seat next to him. “I was just wondering since you gave me nicknames, I should too.”
“You do know I gave everyone nicknames.”
“I do, but you do you. I just want to give you at least one nickname for you. I don't want to call you Kacchan cause Midoriya and Kaminari called you that already, I want to be the only one who can call you something loving and adoring.”
Bakugou blushed, “Did you hit your head or something?”
“No, why?”
“No one else called me Katsuki except you, Idiot.”
Now that he mentioned it, everyone either calls him Bakugou or Kacchan and never Katsuki . For some reason, Todoroki feels special, not that he doesn't feel special all this time but knowing this - he feels like he is above the clouds.
“ Katsuki. ” He breathes.
“Yes?”
“I love you.”
Katsuki laughs, the only laugh Todoroki loves the most. “I love you too, Candy Cane.”
His words came out promisingly, for once, Todoroki Shouto fell in love with someone this hard.
