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

Chapter 51: Rescue Training Race

"Ah...Bakugo, l/n, so nice of you two to finally join us-" Aizawa turned on his shoulder away from the board, pausing his lecture when he heard two pairs of footsteps entering the classroom, already expecting it to be you and Bakugo.

He suspiciously eyed the trail of toilet paper wrapped around your neck, waggling an eyebrow at the odd sight.

Both you and Bakugo kept your heads slightly lowered.

Bakugo walked a few steps ahead of you, his bottom lip jutting out while ignoring the stares of your classmates.

You tried to ignore them too by hunching down and making it to your desk as quickly as you possibly could. When you got to your seat, you could feel eyeballs on you and a few murmurs around you. You slumped down in your seat, pulling your collar up as high as it could go. You tugged at the toilet paper once you felt a specific pair of icy eyes drilling holes at you from the side. You dared to take a peek from the corner of your eye, hastily flipping open a textbook to a random page after Todoroki's blaring eyes locked onto yours.

OK, OK...just calm down, y/n. He must only be staring because I've got stupid toilet paper around my neck...

"y/n." The voice from the teenage male you were just thinking about caught your attention.

"Hi, Shoto..." You laughed nervously, slowly shifting to the side to greet the half white and red color haired boy.

Said boy merely blinked at you a couple of times with a blank expression on his face, waiting for an explanation of your appearance.

You just stared back at him with a forced and uncomfortable smile.

A bitter expression clouded his features and he exhaled a deep breath before deciding to ask you the dreaded question, right after his eyes darted and narrowed at the ash blonde for a split second.

"Were you and Bakugo-"

You flinched, ears flattening once you heard the start of his sentence but was relieved when Aizawa seemed to magically appear next to you, effectively cutting off Todoroki from finishing his sentence.

"l/n. You're distracting the other students. Please remove the toilet paper from around your neck, now."

"Oh, but it's a little drafty in here..." You insisted, fingers gripping the soft thin white material. 

"You're sweating, y/n." Todoroki pointed out, detecting your lie and his eyebrows furrowing at you.

His lip was tightened into a straight solid line.

"H-Huh? Is that so?" You stammered, gulping and feeling the sweat on your forehead that Todoroki was talking about.

Aizawa's half-open eyes shot from him back to you.

"But uh, it's the latest in fashion so I'd rather much keep it on."

"Oh my gosh, that's so cool, y/n." You heard Mina's voice.

"Uh-huh, trendsetter!" Ochaco nodded her head in agreement.

"Ah, I get it. It must be an American or European thing, right?" Kirishima snapped his fingers.

"Fascinating." Iida analyzed, gazing at you.

There were a few more similar comments made amongst the others in the class.

Bakugo slapped his forehead, dragging his hand down his face after hearing your answer and the response of the others.

"Right, Bakugo...?" You rotated behind you, using a sickeningly sweet voice and grinding your teeth.
