Change of Perspective (TodoBaku)

Chapter Eighteen

Todoroki's POV:

We're going back to the main cabin after Bakugo slept for about another two hours. I fell asleep too, but when I woke up he was still out. I took that time to ask Midoriya to go out for me. He agreed immediately and told me that he was taking Uraraka and Iida. A few people found out we were dating because of this morning. I like the fact that people know Bakugo is dating me. Soon, I'll ask him to officially be my boyfriend.

We're holding hands and he got all flustered at first, but he calmed down a bit when I rubbed my thumb over his knuckles. He actually relaxed. It made me happy knowing that I could help calm his anxiousness sometimes. He really isn't okay. No matter what, I'm going to let him feel like it's okay to be himself around me. I'll make him feel comfortable enough to be that way. I'll accept him, no matter what. I'll always be in his corner.

When we open the door, some people look at us and dismiss it while others come up to us, asking questions. I can see Bakugo tense up a bit, but I squeeze his hand and he relaxes. "So it's true, you guys are together!" Well, what does it look like? "Oh my, Todoroki, you've got yourself a real winner!" Yeah, I do. "Is Bakugo a good kisser!?" Hell yeah he is. "Hey, could you guys shut up," Bakugo yells. Everyone stops talking and they apologize. "Okay, raise your hands for questions," he says. I look at him and when he looks at me I smile. I seriously can't stop myself from smiling when I see him. He smiles back and then turns around to look at our classmates.

A bunch of our classmates squealed at the interaction, including the ones who already knew. When he smiled at me, I couldn't help but feel so grateful for having him right next to me, holding my hand. Hands go up, waiting to be called on, so their question could be answered. Bakugo looks around and points at Jiro. "How long has this been going on?" He looks at me, clueless. I shrug, and say, "I guess for about two weeks. This is new." She nods and then Bakugo calls on Yaoyorozu. "I asked this question before, but I'm sure it was lost in the other questions. This one is for Todoroki. Is Bakugo a good kisser?" Everyone stops talking and they look at me, anxiously waiting for an answer. I feel my face heat up and Bakugo squeezes my hand, telling me it's okay to tell them.

"He's a great kisser. I hope to do more of it in the future," I say. That was the dumbest thing I could've said and that's exactly what came out of my mouth. Could I be more hopeless?

There are a few whistles, mostly coming from the Bakusquad. Bakugo looks so red and when more hands shoot up, he points at Kirishima. "Bro! When did you get those marks on your neck?" He scowls, trying to hide his embarrassment. "This fuckin morning!" He said it confidently and I couldn't help but laugh. He turns to me and glares. "What are you laughing at? You have some too," he says and quickly pulls down the hoodie that was covering my neck. There's an eruption of laughter. I can't believe he did that. He smiles confidently and I wink at him. His eyes widen and he looks at me like 'really'?

I can't help but laugh at his reaction and he sighs heavily. He turns to the people who are dying over our interactions. He points at Tokoyami. "I was wondering if you two have had a date," he says with boredom laced in his voice. "We haven't gotten to do that yet," I say. I feel bad for that, but today that'll change. I'll make sure he's comfortable and that he's having fun.

Aoyama jumps up and down like a maniac, so he gets chosen next. "How did you guys start all of this? What made you guys start liking each other?" He clarifies.

"It started with punishment from Aizawa and we switched bodies. We got to know each other and when we switched back, we stayed close. Now, we're here. It's only been about two weeks since we first switched, so this is new," he says. I nod and a few people put their hands down. After that, a few people leave. Some still had more questions though. Sero raised his hand and when Bakugo nods at him to talk, he asks, "Todoroki, what do you like about Bakugo?" His question seemed like he concerned for his best friend and I could feel Bakugo relax at that.
