Catch Me I'm Falling (Todoroki x Reader x Bakugo)

Chapter 43: Frenemy

The things I'll do for her...Todoroki shook his head, releasing a heavy sigh with gaze steadily focusing on Baby Bakugo now.

He couldn't believe he was here changing the diaper of his rival, the one who was also vying for y/n's affection.

This baby was once the hot-headed boy that caused him to feel jealous, insecure, and inadequate on a few occasions...negative feelings that had once been reserved only for his father.

Deeply set wrinkles and sweat appeared on Todoroki's forehead as he finished up changing the baby's diaper. But as he did so, Baby Bakugo grabbed and squeezed onto one of his fingers.

That's a strong grip for his age... Todoroki thought, eyebrows furrowing while giving Baby Bakugo a once over to make sure he had put the diaper on the baby securely and correctly since this was his first time doing so.

"Maybe you're not all bad...just a frenemy, I suppose." Todoroki mumbled to himself with a shrug, his expression softening only by a hair while inching his finger away from the tiny hand.

After all, could he blame Bakugo for having the same kinds of feelings and seeing all the same amazing qualities that he too saw and recognized in y/n...?

Although, Todoroki was one hundred percent sure that Bakugo wouldn't consider him a frenemy, not at all, since Bakugo was overly competitive and not afraid to freely voice out how much he detested the dual color haired boy.

But it's not like she belonged to any of them...yet.

But if Todoroki was her boyfriend, he would have no problem kicking in Bakugo's teeth, making it unmistakably clear that y/n was his. He hated thinking and making it seem like she was property, but that's exactly what the ash blonde brought out of him, a swirling mess of dark thoughts. But as Todoroki pictured his future in his head, undoubtedly, he saw y/n in it. And even if he didn't have anything, even if he didn't end up becoming a Hero...he would still consider it the perfect life, as long as she was in it. The two toned boy could only hope that one day, hopefully in the near future, y/n would choose him over the ash blonde.

------------------------------------------------

The four of you were discussing baby outfits when Todoroki, who had on an emotionless face, carried a freshly changed Baby Bakugo over to you guys.

"You look like you're ready to be a father, Shoto!" You grinned from ear to ear.

Todoroki's face instantly flushed, but you didn't see it due to him almost tripping when those words came out of your mouth. He was ready to be the father, whenever you were ready to be the mother.

"I'm kidding." You laughed after gasping and realizing they were both fine, but you gave Todoroki no time to recover as you swiped the baby from him.

"You're not funny." Todoroki responded dryly, standing over and watching you while you began to play with Baby Bakugo again.
