[ Maybe Bakugou should just get used to being restrained or something, because it's beginning to feel like a recurring thing in his life that he never asked for. There is, at least, an element of actual agency over the situation here as opposed to chain him up so he doesn't assault a guy on TV? or chain him up so he doesn't stupidly pick an incredibly one-sighted fight — it eventually comes down to a combination of "Bakugou literally will not settle down" and "remember that time you failed at bondage" that convinces him, grudgingly, to allow his wrists to be tied behind his back.

He doesn't like this, but he supposes he's not horribly against it either. There's a moderately uncomfortable vulnerability that he can't ignore, but he tempers the feeling with the fact that they pretty much make each other vulnerable just by being in the same general space on a couple different levels.

Either way, whatever it is that's on Todoroki's mind that's led Bakugou's bedroom to yet again be a hotbed of depravity is probably still a better idea than Bakugou's brilliant "fight me" plan. The fact that they're starting off with the knowledge that probably both of them are getting off rather than that happening on the course of attempting to punch each other in the face is actually very promising. Still, Bakugou's rather tense; he doesn't like this so far, he's just tolerating it because he's evolved to that point of emotional maturity that tolerating something on somebody else's behalf is something he might entertain doing every once in a while.

(The promise of getting off is a big motivator here, though, in case we get deluded about his sense of altruism.)

That said, he also feels kind of dumb just lying on his side with his arms utterly useless behind him. Is he supposed to be doing something. Is he just here to be taken along on a wild ride and is he ready to actually willingly go on that wild ride with no immediate control of where exactly it's going?

Okay, so... what now.
