[ And to be honest while it's not quite the suburban home with three kids and a white picket fence he'd been hoping for, Todoroki's gotta admit they've got something good going on. An unreasonably attractive guy who cares about him in his own bizarre little way, an arrangement where they both benefit that isn't too demanding, and most important of all he actually has someone who makes him happy to... some small extent. The sort of extent where thinking about this for too long is intolerable and honestly, he'd rather dwell on how this is killing his career and see how hard he can kiss Bakugou back before his lips start to bleed.
That would probably be an improvement, actually. I am still forever thankful for how easy the Katy Perry joke is. Meanwhile I still associate Trouble with another fandom and I have been laughing for approximately a million years. (it's the OHHHHH)
You know, he'd probably take being decked in face however so many times over this, the attempt at tenderness, for this is unfamiliar territory and Todoroki has little idea of how to respond, can't stop the irritatingly pleased noises that work their way up his throat at that mangled caress, how easy it is to lean into the hand that cups his face.
Okay, so, that earlier assessment with regards to him craving affection might just have hit the mark, and sad as it is it's probably worth noting that between years of poor parenting it's been so long since someone touched him, and that is probably a factor in why it's so easy to adjust to the whole beating each other up thing. And why Todoroki has to bite back some scathing comment for fear it'll come out like this is really weird, holy shit, but also please keep paying attention to me because while you might not realise it I'm kind of a mess when you get to know me.
Also he started smiling at some point in this process and that, too, is just plain awful. Bury him now before things start getting mushy. ]
( and we'll tell each other things, like i love you )
