[ A battle royale implies something on a grander scale, perhaps, than two exceptionally dumb boys beating the everloving shit out of each other. He's not entirely sure how the headlines would handle that one, nor does he particularly care. In much the same way, really, as he's not sure when Bakugou's utter inability to comprehend anything more complex than man, I'm so amazing went from a reason to avoid him to actually kind of endearing. Todoroki only wishes he could be so single-minded. Until he sees Bakugou manage to ram his foot in his mouth yet again and remembers just how lucky he is.
Truly they are a match made in heaven. ]
I give, you win. Happy now?
[ Todoroki, unfortunately, does not see the appeal in a quick spot of recreational violence - but all the same, he can appreciate that Bakugou has a problem, seemingly inconsequential as it is, and that Bakugou's problems, much as he'd prefer it were not the case, are it is in turn his problems. He enjoys the informality their relationship, how the leave their issues to one side (even if Todoroki is relatively certain that his boyfriend, he with all the capacity for empathy of a teaspoon, doesn't have issues to speak of anyway), and so he'd really like to avoid this, much as he knows that's a bad idea. He can't bring himself to admit that he might, in fact, care about Bakugou to a far greater extent than he actually shows, but he can admit to being emotionally invested in their relationship, and so things that concern Bakugou by part and parcel concern him.
They're both fucking masters at being obtuse, basically. But it means he's not saying no. ]
I'm not seeing what I get out of this.
[ Even if he is, in fact, following the other boy to his room, doesn't give a damn about what Bakugou might think as he throws off his blazer. There's an unspoken agreement being proposed here, the acknowledgement that, if he's going to provide Bakugou with the bloodbath he so desperately desires, Bakugou should in turn try to attend to his needs. Most couples would be able to just sit down and, y'know, talk about these things, but communication was never their strong suit. ]
